This collection is required in
compliance with U.S. export regulations. The information furnished
by U.S. exporters provides the basis for decisions to grant
licenses for export, reexport, and classification of commodities,
goods and technologies that are controlled for reasons of national
security and foreign policy.
This is a request for an
emergency approval to add to this information collection the
“Notified Integrated Circuits (NIC)” rule under EAR 740.8. In §
740.8, which prior to the effective date of this rule was reserved,
today’s AC/S IFR adds new license exception NAC. This license
exception is for less powerful ICs under ECCN 3A090.b (i.e., ICs
designed or marketed for use in datacenters) and 3A090.a (i.e., ICs
not designed or marketed for use in datacenters and that do have a
‘total processing performance’ of 4800 or more). NAC is available
for exports, reexports, and transfers in or within Country Groups
D:1, D:4, or D:5 with different requirements applicable to China
and Macau. The purpose of the notification process, which is only
required for exports and reexports to China and Macau, is to
provide BIS and its interagency export controls partners the
opportunity to evaluate the national security risk posed by ICs
that fall within this parameter.
