## Abstract

On November 18, 1998, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) published a rule in the Federal Register (63 FR 64322) that added certain Indian and Pakistani entities to the Entity List in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). This rule removes 51 Indian entities and modifies one entity's listing. In addition, this rule will revise the license review policy for items classified as EAR99 (items that are subject to the EAR, but are not listed on the Commerce Control List) to Indian and Pakistani government, private and parastatal entities from a presumption of denial to a presumption of approval. Also, to correct two inadvertent errors in the publication of the Entity List, this rule: re-designates one existing Pakistani entry on the list as a government entity instead of a military facility; and re-designates one existing Indian entry on the list as a government entity instead of a private or parastatal entity, while also correcting the organization with which it was previously identified. Finally, after consultation between BXA and the Department of State, the subordinates of Indian and Pakistani organizations that are on the Entity List will be moved to appendix A and appendix B of the Entity List, respectively. BXA anticipates this change in policy will increase the number of license applications submitted to BXA.
