BIS Adds 8 Persons to Entity List, Removes 13, Amends 36 Entries

(The persons being added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the U.S. Persons can include companies or individuals.)

Eight Persons Added to Entity List in Ten Entries; One Entry for Alternate Address

This rule amends the EAR (15 CFR Part 744) by adding the following six persons to the Entity List in eight entries:

Iran

• Seyed Mahdi Mousavi
• Seyed Mousavi Trading (a.k.a. Hitech Computer Peripherals; Hitech Corporation)

United Arab Emirates

• Alex Nouri Zadeh (a.k.a. Alex Banai; Alex Norry; Nouri Zadeh)
• Fajr Almadeena Electronics
• Jamal Hasan (a.k.a. Jamal Haji)
• Mohammad Nayeb
• Seyed Mahdi Mousavi
• Seyed Mousavi Trading (a.k.a. Hitech Computer Peripherals; Hitech Corporation)

For the six persons added to the Entity List, the End User Review Committee (ERC) specified a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and established a license application review policy of a presumption of denial. The license requirement applies to any transaction in which items are to be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) to such persons or in which such persons act as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-user. In addition, no license exceptions are available for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) to those persons being added to the Entity List.

This rule also amends the Entity List on the basis of the ERC’s annual review by adding two entries for China and one entry for Uganda.

China

• Sichuan University
• University of Electronic Science and Technology of China

Uganda

• UCB Arcade (a.k.a. Allied Trading Co.)

The two additions for China were formerly aliases of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics, and the entry for Uganda is an alternate address for Allied Trading Co. of Pakistan. Licensing requirements for the three new entries will not change: the two Chinese entries will require licenses for all items subject to the EAR and be subject to a case-by-case license review policy, as is the case for the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics; the Uganda entry will require licenses for all items subject to the EAR and be subject to a license review policy of denial, as is the case for Allied Trading Co.

15 Persons Removed from Entity List, but Two Still Subject

BIS also removed one person from the Entity List as a result of the person’s request for removal from the Entity List:

Pakistan
