Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 58 / Monday, March 29, 2021 / Rules and Regulations entry. This definition of equivalent standards is added to part 772 of the EAR. The word for is added before the word vehicles in Items paragraph b.1.b as an editorial correction decided to by the WA.
Category 1Special Materials and Related Equipment, Chemicals, Microorganisms, and Toxins 1A002 Composite Structures or Laminates Note 5 is added at the end of the Items paragraph to exclude mechanically chopped, milled, or cut carbon fibrous or filamentary materials 25.0 mm or less in length from the control in Items paragraph b.1 carbon fibrous or filamentary materials.
1A005 Body Armor and Specially Designed Components Therefor Notes 2 and 3 in the Related Controls paragraph are amended to add the defined term equivalent standards after the U.S. NIJ level III standard, in order to allow WA Participating States to be able to use comparable national or international standards recognized by one or more Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States and applicable to the relevant entry. In Items paragraph .b hard body armor plates that provide ballistic protection, the term national equivalents, which is not defined in the EAR, is replaced with the defined term equivalent standards, which is added to 772.1 of the EAR by this rule.
This change will also allow the use of equivalent national standards of Participating States and international standards recognized by one or more WA Participating States.
1A006 Equipment, Specially Designed or Modified for the Disposal of Improvised Explosive Devices IEDs The Header is amended by capitalizing each of the individual words in the term Improvised Explosive Devices, as well as adding the acronym IEDs in parentheses. The Related Controls paragraph is amended by replacing Improvised Explosive Devices with the acronym IEDs. The unilateral definition for disruptors is removed from the Related Definitions paragraph because the WA definition of this term is included in the Technical Note that is added to 1A006.b. A Note is also added at the end of the Items paragraph to inform the public that the controls of ECCN 1A006 do not apply to equipment that accompanies its operator.

1A613 Armored and Protective Equipment and Related Commodities
1C006 Fluids and Lubricating Materials
Items paragraphs .c military helmets, d.1 soft body armor and protective garments, d.2 hard body armor plates, and the Note after Items paragraph d.2
are amended by adding or equivalent standard after the National Institute of Justice NIJ standard, in order to allow the use of comparable national or international standards recognized by one or more Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States and applicable to the relevant entry.

This rule amends Items paragraph 1C006.d by replacing fluorocarbon electronic cooling fluids with fluorocarbon fluids designed for electronic cooling to reflect the fact that certain fluorocarbon fluids are designed for electronic cooling. This revision narrows the scope of control to only those fluorocarbon fluids designed for electronic cooling.

1B002 Equipment Designed To Produce Metal Alloy Powder or Particulate Materials
Items paragraph 1C010.c is intended to capture inorganic/ceramic fibers that are tested or used for applications involving high-stress and hightemperature environments. However, the current level of control captured a large number of inorganic fibers that are not suitable for critical structural applications requiring high modulus and strength retention at high temperatures. The following changes will narrow the scope to better target the control. This rule amends Items paragraph 1C010.c, inorganic fibrous or filamentary materials, by splitting paragraph c.1 into two subparagraphs c.1.a and c.1.b, by adding a silicon dioxide SiO2 composition element to the existing specific modulus parameter in 1C010.c.1.a, as well as by adding a new specific modulus parameter in paragraph c.1.b, exceeding 5.6 106 m.

The header is amended to revise the text of the header and move two unchanged control parameters into two sub-paragraphs in the Items paragraph section. The header text is amended by replacing for producing metal alloys, metal alloy powder or alloyed materials, specially designed to avoid contamination and specially designed for use in one of the processes specified in 1C002.c.2. with designed to produce metal alloy powder or particulate materials and having any of the following see List of Items Controlled. Metal alloy powders are specified in 1C002.c, but the actual text refers to metal alloy powder or particulate material. The equipment in 1B002 make the metal alloy powder specified in 1C002.c, but not the metal alloys in 1C002.b. Therefore, metal alloys is removed from the header of 1B002.
1C001 Materials Specially Designed for Absorbing Electromagnetic Radiation, or Intrinsically Conductive Polymers Exclusion Note 1 to 1C001.a is amended by revising paragraph d.2
relating to planar absorbers made of sintered ferrite to add or less to the end of the parameter relating to maximum operating temperature to clarify that the exclusion is not exclusively limited to materials having a maximum operating temperature of 548 K.
1C002 Metal Alloys, Metal Alloy Powder and Alloyed Materials Technical Note 3, which defines low cycle fatigue life, is amended by replacing the defined term average stress with average stress ratio to correctly state what the formula that follows calculates.

1C010 Fibrous or Filamentary Materials
Category 2Materials Processing 2A001 Anti-Friction Bearings and Bearing Systems The Heading of 2A001 is amended by moving and components therefor from the end of the heading to immediately after bearing systems, because only paragraph 2A001.c has controls on components. In addition, Items paragraph 2A001.c is amended by adding and specially designed components therefor because the component control in the heading no longer applies to all the Items paragraphs and 2A001.c does include a component control. Replacing and components therefor with and specially designed components therefor narrows the scope of control to only those components that rise to the level of warranting control. Exclusion Note 2 to 2A001 relating to balls with tolerances specified by the manufacturer in accordance with ISO 3290 is removed because investigation into ISO 3290 has revealed that versions of this standard dated 1998 and 2001 have only applied to steel balls.
