Removal and Modifications for Persons Listed Under Russia on the Entity List

This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing one and revising two Russian entries on the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744). This final rule removes the Federal Atomic Power of Russia (Rusatom) (now known as the Russian State Corporation of Atomic Energy (Rosatom)) entry from the Entity List and adds language clarifying that both the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Technical Physics (VNIITF) and the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF), which are Rosatom components, remain on the Entity List. In addition, this rule adds additional aliases and revises some of the existing aliases for the two Russian entries that are being retained on the Entity List. These changes will better inform exporters, reexporters, and transferors of the scope of these Entity List-based license requirements. The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to parties identified on the Entity List require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions is limited.
