Agenda Deemed export year in review Deemed export topic du jour Trends Withdrawal of Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking “Use” technology Country of origin licensing policy Export controls in the context of fundamental research Deemed Export Advisory Committee Deemed export topic du jour Technology Control Plan (TCPs): Export Enforcement cooperation

Deemed Export Year in Review Deemed export staffing doubled from three to six full time employees BIS published two deemed export related Federal Register Notices Established the Deemed Export Advisory Committee Maintained robust deemed export outreach program conducting over 120 outreach events

Deemed Export Year-End Summary The deemed export program remains an important mechanism to prevent the diversion of sensitive dual use technologies to countries and end users of concern In FY2006, the Bureau approved 85%, returned without action approximately 14%, and denied less than 1% of the total of 830 deemed export license applications Almost 60% of the deemed export licenses processed are for PRC foreign nationals Followed in descending order by foreign nationals from India (13%), Iran (7%), Russia and Germany (2%) and UK (1%) Most deemed export licenses are processed in 40 days

Annual Deemed Export Licensing Trends * Projected ** To Date Most Common Deemed Exports: Semiconductor & Electronics - Category 3 High Performance Computers - Category 4 Telecommunications - Category 5

Recent Debate Over Deemed Export Policy 2004: Commerce Office of Inspector General (OIG) Report Highly critical of the Deemed Export Program 2005: BIS published two deemed export related Federal Register Notices: Establishment of Advisory Committee and Clarification of Deemed Export-Related Regulatory Requirements (71FR29301 of 05/22/06) Withdrawal of the Deemed Export Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (71FR30840 of 05/31/06) 2006-2007: Deemed Export Advisory Committee deliberations

Clarification of “Use” Technology The use of export controlled equipment is not a deemed export. Deemed exports occur only if controlled technology is transferred. The regulatory definition of “use” is technology for “operation, installation (including on-site installation), maintenance (checking), repair, overhaul and refurbishing.” General Technology Note: The term “technology” as used in the EAR refers to specific information “required” for the “development,” “production,” or “use” of specific product (e.g. computer, fermenter, machine tool, etc.). “Required” technology refers only to that portion of technology which is peculiarly responsible for achieving or exceeding controlled performance levels, characteristics or functions. Controlled “use” technology requires all six attributes of the definition in order to qualify as controlled “use” technology. Otherwise the technology is likely EAR99.

Reaffirmation of Foreign National Licensing Policy Naturalized U.S. citizens, U.S. Legal Permanent Residents and U.S. Asylees and Refugees are protected individuals and are not subject to the deemed export rule. Deemed export licensing policy for foreign nationals that are not protected individuals (i.e., third country nationals) is based on recently established legal permanent residence or citizenship. For example: A foreign national born in Iran that has established citizenship or permanent residency in Canada would be treated for licensing purposes as a Canadian. If an exporter is unable to determine a foreign national’s country of origin for deemed export licensing, the exporter should consult with BIS. For deemed reexports to a foreign national of another country, licensing is also based on the foreign national’s recently established permanent residency or citizenship.

Scope of Fundamental Research Is Unchanged “Fundamental research is basic and applied research in science and engineering where the resulting information is ordinarily published and shared broadly within the scientific community.” (EAR Part 734.8) "While the product of the fundamental research is not subject to the EAR because the results of that research are intended for publication and dissemination within the scientific community, authorization may be required if during the conduct of the research controlled technology is released to a foreign national.“(71FR30840 of 05/31/06)

Scope of Fundamental Research Is Unchanged Fundamental research technology is not subject to the EAR because: the technology that rises during or results from the research is normally made public; and, the technology necessary to conduct the research is normally obtained from public or published sources. If preexisting technology necessary to conduct the research is export controlled; or, if a researcher makes a decision to control the technology that results from the research, then, deemed export licensing requirements must be considered.

Deemed Export Advisory Committee Comprehensive policy review Required by law to meet quarterly Meetings open to the public The final report is expected to be delivered to the Secretary of Commerce in late 2007

Deemed Export Control Topic Du Jour Exporters must distinguish between the following to insure the correct licensing authorization: Deemed export of technology; Deemed reexport of technology; Technology export; and, Technology reexport. Exporters in general are creating unnecessary licensing burdens for themselves. When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Distinguishing Deemed Export from Technology Export A deemed export is the release of controlled technology or source code to a foreign national in the U.S. A technology export is the release of controlled technology in a foreign country Deemed export licensing authorization is based on a review of the individual foreign national’s background, country of origin and level of technology Technology export licensing authorization is based on the ultimate consignee’s country, the level of technology and the bonafides of the consignee BIS does not license individual employees of consignees on a technology export license When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Distinguishing Deemed Reexport from Technology Reexport A deemed reexport is the release of controlled technology or source code to a foreign national of another country; this is deemed to be a reexport to the foreign national’s home country In many cases technology exported to the country home of that foreign national may be exported NLR or under License Exception (LE) not available for the foreign national’s home country e.g., ECCN 5E001 technology may be exported to a company in Ireland under LE TSR. A Russian foreign national employee of that company in Ireland requires deemed reexport license authorization to receive this technology A technology reexport is the actual shipment or transmission of controlled technology from one foreign country to another foreign country When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Considerations to Ease Licensing Burden If a consignee on a technology export license intends to send employees to the U.S. for training or other requirements resulting in the need for controlled technology, identify this on the export license application A duplicative deemed export license is not required If your company has multiple subsidiaries in different countries, technology export authorization could authorize reexports as well Exporters need to specify these requirements in its application This could also authorize deemed reexport requirements for employees of the company’s foreign subsidiaries visiting its other foreign subsidiaries A technology export license does not require information on individual employees When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Developing a Technology Control Plan (TCP) The requirement for a TCP is a standard condition of approval for a deemed export license A TCP should include the following six essential elements: Corporate commitment to export compliance Physical security plan Information security plan Personnel screening procedures Training and awareness program Self evaluation program When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Essential Elements of a TCP 1. Corporate commitment to export compliance Organizational chain of command of export compliance team Must have member of senior management team responsible for export compliance Demonstrate how compliance issues are resolved Show evidence of methodology for commodity classification of technology in the workplace Top-down leadership (e.g., CEO company wide letter that establishes a corporate culture of export compliance) When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Essential Elements of a TCP 2. Physical security plan: Structure of building security at each technology location Description of physical security plan (badge access, secure door access…). Perimeter security and access control. When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Essential Elements of a TCP 3. Information security plan: Command structure of IT security at each technology location Description of IT security plan (password access, firewall protection plans…) Verification of technology authorization (terminated employees, individuals working on new projects…) Intranet and internet security When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Essential Elements of a TCP 4. Personnel screening procedures: At minimum must review entities and denied parties list. What types of background checks are conducted (criminal, drivers license, credit…). Must know procedures that 3rd party contractors use (e.g. temporary employment agencies) Non-disclosure agreements When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Essential Elements of a TCP 5. Training and awareness program: Schedule of training program for informing foreign national employee of technology access limits Description of training for U.S. employees which have access to controlled technology areas Export control awareness training for all employees When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Essential Elements of a TCP 6. Self evaluation program: Self auditing schedule Checklist of items reviewed during each audit Action item and corrective procedures Internal or external audit When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

TCP Summary There is no one-size-fits-all Necessary to provide assurance that information will not be diverted to foreign national’s home country Typical agenda item for BIS site visit Verification of TCP effectiveness is a goal of domestic post shipment verification/pre-license check to assure compliance with license conditions20 When we review a Technology Control Plan, we look at the following essential elements: Corp. commitment: i.e., CEO letter to employees Physical plan: i.e., badging, visitor plan, etc. Info Security: i.e., firewalls, electronic monitoring of databases with controlled technology, intranet systems, etc Personnel screening: i.e., hiring process, non disclosure statements, visa status, labor certification process, etc. Self-eval: i.e., internal audits Another important element is how a company classifies its technology and how it integrates this classification process into its personnel screening process.

Export Enforcement Role in Deemed Exports: Deemed Export Domestic PSV Program Joint EE/EA Program: Deemed export compliance program designed to determine: Compliance with license conditions Deviations from the scope of license Compliance with the Technology Control Plan (TCP) Possible unauthorized releases of controlled technology to the foreign national or unauthorized foreign nationals

Deemed Export Domestic PSV Program Export Enforcement Role in Deemed Exports: Deemed Export Domestic PSV Program • Spans all Commerce Control List categories • 2006: EE /EA conducted 10 domestic PSVs 2007: Plans to conduct an additional 10-15 PSVs License holders have demonstrated a high degree of compliance Preparing for domestic PSV: Internal compliance assessment • EE continues to review selected licenses based on certain risk factors & conduct domestic PSVs as necessary
