BIS Amends Name, Facilities and EECNs for 1 India & 5 China VEUs

BIS Updates Name and Eligible Items of GE India Industrial Pvt Ltd.

BIS’ final rule updates the company’s name from GE India to GE India Industrial Pvt Ltd, and removes an unnecessary address from the eligible facilities (destinations) column (AIFACS).

In addition, this rule amends the list of items eligible for export, reexport and transfer (in-country) for GE India Industrial Pvt Ltd. as follows:

• Removal of ECCN 2E983 from the list of eligible items for the GE India Technology Centre Private Ltd. eligible facility
• Addition of ECCNs 2E003.f and 9E003.a.2 for all GE India eligible destinations

With this amendment, all GE India Industrial Pvt Ltd. eligible facilities may receive the same eligible items.

Revision to the List of Eligible Items for Applied Materials

This rule adds ECCN 3B001.a as an eligible item for all Applied Materials (China), Inc. facilities.

Correction of Facility Address, Revision to Eligible Items for Boeing Tianjin

BIS’ final rule corrects the spelling of the street name in the address for Boeing Tianjin Composites Co., Ltd.’s eligible facility.¹

Additionally, the final rule removes ECCN 2B001.a from the parenthetical limiting statement for ECCN 1E001. Pursuant to this revision, the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of 1E001 technology for the development or production of items controlled by ECCN 2B001.a is no longer authorized to Boeing Tianjin under Authorization VEU. This amendment is not the result of activities of concern by Boeing Tianjin.
