SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background On January 6, 2020, the Bureau of Industry and Security BIS amended the Export Administration Regulations EAR with an interim final rule to add Software Specially Designed to Automate the Analysis of Geospatial Imagery to the 0Y521 Temporary Export Control Classification Numbers ECCN
Series as 0D521. More specifically, the software was described as Geospatial imagery software specially designed for training a Deep Convolutional Neural Network to automate the analysis of geospatial imagery and point clouds. See 85 FR
459.
BIS established the ECCN 0Y521
series in a final rule published April 13, 2012 72 FR 22191 hereinafter April 13 rule to identify items that warrant control on the Commerce Control List CCL but are not yet identified in an existing ECCN. Items in the 0Y521
series of ECCNs are added upon a determination by the Department of Commerce, with the concurrence of the Departments of Defense and State, and other agencies as appropriate, that the items warrant control for export because the items may provide a significant military or intelligence advantage to the United States or because foreign policy reasons justify control. The ECCN
0Y521 series is a temporary holding classification.
Under the procedures established in the April 13 rule and codified at 742.6a8iii of the EAR, items classified under ECCN 0Y521 remain so classified for one year from the date they are listed in supplement no. 5 to part 774 of the EAR, unless the items are re-classified under a different ECCN or the 0Y521 classification is extended.
BIS may extend an items ECCN
0Y521 classification for two one-year periods, provided that the U.S.
Government has submitted a proposal to the relevant multilateral regimes e.g., the Wassenaar Arrangement to obtain multilateral controls over the item, with the understanding that multilateral controls are preferable when practical.
Further extension beyond three years may occur only if the Under Secretary for Industry and Security makes a determination that such extension is in the national security or foreign policy interest of the United States. Any extension or re-extension of control of

an ECCN 0Y521 item, including the determination by the Under Secretary, shall be published in the Federal Register.
In this action, BIS extends the status of an item classified under a 0Y521
ECCN for a year consistent with procedures that allow such an extension. Specifically, in this case the U.S. Government submitted a proposal for multilateral control of the 0D521
software specially designed to automate the analysis of geospatial imagery, as described in the January 6, 2020 interim final rule, to the relevant multilateral regime the Wassenaar Arrangement in a timely manner, within the first year of the items 0D521 classification.
However, due to the pandemic, the regime did not convene and therefore did not consider acceptance of the proposal. An extension of time is appropriate in order for the U.S.
Government to continue its effort at the Wassenaar Arrangement in 2021.
Export Control Reform Act of 2018
On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018
ECRA 50 U.S.C. 48014852 that provides the legal basis for BISs principal authorities and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule.
Rulemaking Requirements 1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866
direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distribute impacts, and equity.
Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This interim final rule has been designated to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866. The requirements of Executive Order 13771
do not apply because the rule is not significant.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor is subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq. PRA, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number. This rule does not involve any collection of information.
