§ 774.1 INTRODUCTION
(a) Scope of the control list. In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. The Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the
Commerce Control List (CCL) that includes
“items” -- i.e., “commodities,” “software,” and
“technology” -- subject to the authority of BIS.
The CCL does not include items exclusively controlled for export by another department or agency of the U.S. Government, though in instances where other agencies administer controls over related items, entries in the CCL
Export Administration Regulations

may contain a reference to such controls. In addition, those items “subject to the EAR” but not identified on the CCL are identified by the designator “EAR99.” See § 734.2(a) of the
EAR for items that are “subject to the EAR.”
EAR Part 738 contains an explanation of the organization of the CCL and its relationship to the Country Chart.
(b) (1) ECCN cross-references for items subject to exclusive jurisdiction of another agency.
Prior to October 15, 2013, the CCL contained certain ECCNs that were only included as cross references to items subject to the export control regulations administered by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission.
(2) ECCNs formerly listed on the CCL that, as of October 15, 2013 were subject to the export licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission at 10 CFR part 110 are: 0A001,
0B001, 0B002, 0B003, 0B004, 0B005, 0B006,
0C001, 0C002, 0C004, 0C005, 0C006, 0C201 and 1C012.
(3) The following multilateral export control regime reference is provided, as an additional point of historical reference: 0C201 - INFCIRC
254 Part 1, 5.3.1(b).
Note to paragraph (b): ECCNs 0D001 and
0E001 are “subject to the ITAR” (see 22 CFR parts 120 through 130). These ECCNs are retained on the CCL as cross references to the
ITAR, although the former cross references to export licensing authority of the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (see 10 CFR part 110) for ECCN 0D001, and to the Department of
Energy (see 10 CFR part 810) for 0E001 were removed from the Control(s) paragraph in the
License Requirements section of these two
ECCNs and added as a more general jurisdictional cross reference in a heading note added to these two ECCNs as of June 5, 2014.
(c) Where to find the CCL? The CCL is contained in Supplement No. 1 to this part, and
Supplement No. 2 to this part contains the

Part 774—page 2

General Technology and Software relevant to entries contained in the CCL.

Notes

(d) Conventions related to the use of quotation marks on the CCL. The use of double quotation marks on the CCL is intended to be an aid to alert you to terms used on the CCL that are defined in part 772 (Definitions of Terms), or for purposes of ECCNs, where a definition is provided in the “related definitions” paragraph in the License Requirements section of ECCNs or sometimes in Notes and Technical Notes for particular ECCNs and that definition is specific to that particular ECCN. In this sense the quotes are helpful both in the use of single and double quotes, but a good compliance practice is to familiarize yourself with the defined terms in part 772, and when reviewing a control parameter on the CCL that uses a term that is not in quotes to be aware it may be defined in part
772. It is also a useful compliance practice to review the “Related Definitions” paragraph and
Notes and Technical Notes to determine if the term is defined for purposes of a particular
ECCN.

the CCL is not defined in part 772. Because the
CCL includes many terms that are defined in part 772, BIS’s practice is to use double quotes for certain key terms and to use double quotes when needed for consistency with multilateral export control regime based entries, such as many derived from control lists, in particular for the Wassenaar Arrangement that also uses the double quotes convention. However, because of the large number of defined terms used on the
CCL and a desire to avoid hindering readability by placing quotes around too many words used in particular ECCNs, BIS’s practice is to not add double quotes around certain terms, such as items and commodities. This convention also applies to the use of double quotes within the
Definition of Terms section under part 772.
(2) Use of single quotes. The CCL also includes a convention regarding the use of single quotes.
Single quotes on the CCL identify a term as a defined term in the context of a particular
ECCN. This convention also applies to the use of single quotes within the Definition of Terms section under part 772.

(1) Use of double quotes. If a term on the CCL uses double quotes it means there is a defined term in part 772. However, the absence of double quotes does not mean that a term used on

Supplement No. 3 to Part 774—page 1

SUPPLEMENT NO. 3 TO PART 774 – STATEMENTS OF UNDERSTANDING
(a) Statement of Understanding - medical equipment. Commodities that are ‘specially designed for medical end-use’ that ‘incorporate’ commodities or software on the Commerce Control List (Supplement No. 1 to part 774 of the EAR) that do not have a reason for control of Nuclear
Nonproliferation (NP), Missile Technology
(MT), or Chemical & Biological Weapons (CB) are designated by the number EAR99 (i.e., are not elsewhere specified on the Commerce
Control List).
Notes to paragraph a:
(1) ‘Specially designed for medical end-use’ means designed for medical treatment or the practice of medicine (does not include medical research). (2) Commodities or software are considered
‘incorporated’ if the commodity or software is:
Essential to the functioning of the medical equipment; customarily included in the sale of the medical equipment; and exported or reexported with the medical equipment.
(3) Except for such software that is made publicly available consistent with § 734.3(b)(3) of the EAR, commodities and software ‘specially designed for medical end-use’ remain subject to the EAR.
(4) See also § 770.2(b) interpretation 2, for other types of equipment that incorporate items on the Commerce Control List that are subject to the EAR.

Export Administration Regulations

(5) For computers used with medical equipment, see also ECCN 4A003 note 2 regarding the
"principal element" rule.
(6) For commodities and software specially designed for medical end-use that incorporate an encryption or other "information security" item subject to the EAR, see also Note 1 to Category
5, Part II of the Commerce Control List.
(b) Statement of Understanding - Source Code.
For the purpose of national security controlled items, “source code” items are controlled either by “software” or by “software” and
“technology” controls, except when such
“source code” items are explicitly decontrolled.
(c) Category 5 - Part 2 - Note 4 Statement of
Understanding.
All items previously described by Notes (b), (c) and (h) to 5A002 are now described by Note 4 to
Category 5 - Part 2. Note (h) to 5A002 prior to
June 25, 2010 stated that the following was not controlled by 5A002:
Equipment specially designed for the servicing of portable or mobile radiotelephones and similar client wireless devices that meet all the provisions of the Cryptography Note (Note 3 in
Category 5, Part 2), where the servicing equipment meets all of the following:

SUPPLEMENT NO. 4 TO PART 774 –
COMMERCE CONTROL LIST
ORDER OF REVIEW
(a) As described in EAR § 734.3, the EAR govern only items “subject to the EAR,” e.g., items not subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of another agency. Thus, for example, if an item is described in the U.S. Munitions List (USML)
(22 CFR Part 121) of the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR Parts 120130), including one of its catch-all paragraphs, then the item is a “defense article” subject to the
ITAR and there is no need to review the CCL with respect to whether it describes the item.
See 22 CFR § 120.6 (“Defense article means any item or technical data designated in § 121.1 of the ITAR. The policy described in § 120.3 is applicable to designations of additional items”).
If an item is not described on the USML and is otherwise “subject to the EAR,” then work through each of the following steps to determine where the item is covered by the CCL or, if it is not covered by the CCL, and is therefore designated as EAR99.
(1) Step 1. To classify an item “subject to the
EAR” against the CCL, review the general characteristics of the item. This will usually guide you to the appropriate category (0 through
9) on the CCL.
(2) Step 2. Once the potentially applicable CCL categories are identified, determine which product group within the CCL category or categories -- i.e., A, B, C, D, or E -- is applicable to the item.
(3) Step 3. The “600 series” describes military items that were once subject to the ITAR. The
9x515 ECCNs describe “spacecraft,” related items, and some radiation-hardened
Export Administration Regulations

microelectronic circuits that were once subject to the ITAR under USML Category XV. Just as the ITAR effectively trumps the EAR, items described in a 9x515 ECCN or “600 series”
ECCN trump other ECCNs on the CCL. Thus, the next step in conducting a classification analysis of an item “subject to the EAR” is to determine whether it is described in a 9x515
ECCN or “600 series” ECCN paragraph other than a “catch-all” paragraph such as a “.x” paragraph that controls unspecified “parts” and
“components” “specially designed” for items in that ECCN or the corresponding USML paragraph. If so, the item is classified under that
9x515 ECCN or “600 series” ECCN paragraph even if it would also be described in another
ECCN.
(4) Step 4. If the item is not described in a
9x515 ECCN or “600 series” ECCN, then determine whether the item is classified under a
9x515 ECCN or “600 series” catch-all paragraph, i.e., one that controls non-specific
“parts,” “components,” “accessories,” and
“attachments” “specially designed” for items in that ECCN or the corresponding USML paragraph. Such items are generally in the “.x” paragraph of ECCN 9A515 or a “600 series”
ECCN.
(i) Step 4.a. Determine whether the item would meet the criteria of either paragraphs (a)(1) or
(a)(2) of the “specially designed” definition in §
772.1 of the EAR. (These are informally known as the “catch” paragraphs.) If not applicable, then the item is not within the scope of the
ECCN paragraph that contains a “specially designed” control parameter. Skip to Step 5.

Bureau of Industry and Security

May 21, 2015

Commerce Control List

Supplement No. 4 to Part 774—page 2

(ii) Step 4.b. If the item meets the criteria of either paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of the “specially designed” definition, then determine whether any of the provisions of paragraph (b) of the
“specially designed” definition would apply.
(These are informally known as the “release” provisions.) If so, then the item is not within the scope of the ECCN paragraph that contains a
“specially designed” control parameter.

or restricted end user, end use or destination.
See paragraphs (g) through (n) of § 732.3 “Steps
Regarding the Ten General Prohibitions,” or
General Prohibitions Four through Ten of part
736 of the EAR for license requirements other than those imposed by the CCL.
(b) [RESERVED].

Note to paragraph (a)(4): The emphasis on the word “control” in Steps 4.a and 4.b is deliberate. Some ECCNs use “specially designed” as a de-control parameter. If an item would not be classified under a particular
ECCN because it falls within the scope of either subparagraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of the “specially designed” definition, then there is no need to analyze whether any element of paragraph (b) of the definition would apply to the item. One needs only review the “release” provisions in paragraph (b) of the “specially designed” definition if paragraph (a) of the “specially designed” definition applies to the item in a
“control” paragraph of an ECCN that uses the term “specially designed.”
(5) Step 5. If an item is not classified by a “600 series” or in a 9x515 ECCN, then starting from the beginning of the product group analyze each
ECCN to determine whether any other ECCN in that product group describes the item.If any
ECCN uses the term “specially designed,” see
Steps 4.a and 4.b above in paragraphs (a)(4)(i) and (a)(4)(ii) respectively.
If the item is described in one of these ECCNs, then the item is classified under that ECCN.
(6) Step 6. If the item is not described under any ECCN of any category of the CCL, then the item is designated as EAR99. EAR99 items may require a license if destined for a prohibited
