Sec. 742.8  Anti-terrorism: Iran.

    (a) License requirements. (1) If AT column 1 or AT column 2 of the 
Country Chart (Supplement No. 1 to Part 738 of the EAR) is indicated in 
the appropriate ECCN, a license is required for export to Iran for anti-
terrorism purposes. In addition, portable electric power generators and 
related software and technology (ECCNs 2A994, 2D994 and 2E994) are 
controlled for export to Iran for anti-terrorism purposes. See paragraph 
(a)(5) of this section for controls maintained by the Department of the 
Treasury.
    (2) If AT column 1 or AT column 2 of the Commerce Country Chart 
(Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) is indicated in the 
appropriate ECCN, a license is required for reexport to Iran for anti-
terrorism purposes, except for ECCNs 2A994; 3A992.a; 5A991.g; 5A992; 
6A991; 6A998; 7A994; 8A992.d, .e, .f, and .g; 9A990.a and .b; and 
9A991.d and .e. In addition, items in these ECCNs are not counted as 
controlled U.S. content for the purpose of determining license 
requirements for U.S. parts, components or materials incorporated into 
foreign made products. However, the export from the United States to any 
destination with knowledge that they will be reexported directly or 
indirectly, in whole or in part to Iran is prohibited without a license. 
See paragraph (a)(5) of this section for controls maintained by the 
Department of the Treasury.
    (3) The Secretary of State has designated Iran as a country whose 
Government has repeatedly provided support for acts of international 
terrorism.
    (4) In support of U.S. foreign policy on terrorism-supporting 
countries, BXA maintains two types of anti-terrorism controls on the 
export and reexport of items described in Supplement 2 to part 742.
    (i) Items described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of 
Supplement No. 2 to part 742 are controlled under section 6(j) of the 
Export Administration Act, as amended (EAA), if destined to military, 
police, intelligence or other sensitive end-users.
    (ii) Items described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of 
Supplement No. 2 to part 742 destined to non-sensitive end-users, as 
well as items described in paragraphs (c)(6) through (c)(43) to all end-
users, are controlled to Iran under section 6(a) of the EAA. (See 
Supplement No. 2 to part 742 for more information on items controlled 
under sections 6(a) and 6(j) of the EAA and Sec. 750.6 of the EAR for 
procedures for processing license applications for items controlled 
under EAA section 6(j).)
    (5) Exports and certain reexports to Iran are subject to a 
comprehensive embargo administered by the Department of the Treasury's 
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). If you wish to export or 
reexport to Iran, the Government of Iran or any entity owned or 
controlled by that Government, you should review part 746 of the EAR and 
consult with OFAC. Please note that authorization from OFAC constitutes 
authorization under the EAR and no separate license or authorization 
from BXA is required.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) The Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act 
of October 23, 1992, requires BXA to deny licenses for items controlled 
to Iran for national security (section 5 of the 1979 EAA) or foreign 
policy reasons (section 6 of the 1979 EAA), absent contract sanctity or 
a Presidential waiver. License applications for which contract sanctity 
is established may be considered under policies in effect prior to the 
enactment of that Act. Otherwise, licenses for such items to Iran are 
subject to a general policy of denial.

    (2) License applications for items controlled under section 6(a) of 
the EAA will also be reviewed to determine whether requirements of 
section 6(j) apply. Whenever the Secretary of State determines that an 
export or reexport could make a significant contribution to the military 
potential of Iran, including its military logistics capability, or could 
enhance Iran's ability to support acts of international terrorism, the 
Secretaries of State and Commerce will notify the Congress 30 days prior 
to the issuance of a license.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity dates and related policies 
for Iran are listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 742. Applicants who wish 
a pre-existing contract to be considered must submit sufficient evidence 
to establish the existence of a contract.
    (d) U.S. controls. Although the United States seeks cooperation from 
like-minded countries in maintaining anti-terrorism controls, at this 
time these controls are maintained only by the United States.
