SUMMARY:

Background On January 15, 2021, BIS published an interim final rule expanding certain end-use and end-user controls and controls on specific activities of U.S.
persons 86 FR 4865 hereinafter the January 15 rule. Due to an instruction error, which directed the revision of paragraph a3 of 744.3 of the EAR, rather than only the introductory text of that paragraph, upon its effective date, the January 15 rule would have resulted in the inadvertent deletion of 744.3a3i and ii of the EAR, which describe the license requirements that apply when an exporter, reexporter, or transferor cannot determine the range capabilities of a rocket system or unmanned aerial vehicle UAV in certain countries of missile technology concern Country Group D:4 see Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR, or whether such rocket system or UAV will be used in connection with the delivery of certain weapons of mass destruction.

Background Section 4 of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 1990 Pub. L. 101410, 104 Stat. 890; 28
U.S.C. 2461 note, as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 Pub. L. 11474, 129 Stat. 599, 28
U.S.C. 2461 note the FCPIA Act, requires each federal agency with statutory authority to assess civil monetary penalties CMPs to adjust CMPs annually for inflation according to a formula described in section 5 of the FCPIA Act. One purpose of the FCPIA Act is to ensure that CMPs continue to maintain their deterrent effect through periodic cost-of-living based adjustments.
OFAC has adjusted its CMPs six times since the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act went into effect on November 2, 2015: An initial catch-up adjustment on August 1, 2016 81 FR 43070, July 1, 2016; an additional initial catch-up adjustment related to CMPs for failure to comply with a requirement to furnish information, the late filing of a required report, and failure to maintain records recordkeeping CMPs that were inadvertently omitted from the August 1, 2016 initial catch-up adjustment on October 5, 2020 85 FR 54911, September 3, 2020; and annual adjustments on February 10, 2017 82
FR 10434, February 10, 2017; March 19, 2018 83 FR 11876, March 19, 2018;
June 14, 2019 84 FR 27714, June 14, 2019; and April 9, 2020 85 FR 19884, April 9, 2020.
Method of Calculation The method of calculating CMP
adjustments applied in this final rule is required by the FCPIA Act. Under the FCPIA Act and the Office of Management and Budget guidance required by the FCPIA Act, annual inflation adjustments subsequent to the initial catch-up adjustment are to be based on the percent change between the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers CPIU for the October preceding the date of the adjustment and the prior years October CPIU. As set forth in Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M2110 of December 23, 2020, the adjustment multiplier for 2021 is 1.01182. In order to complete the 2021 annual adjustment, each current CMP is
