PART 746--EMBARGOES AND OTHER SPECIAL CONTROLS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 746.1  Introduction.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C. This part implements broad based controls for items 
and activities subject to the EAR imposed to implement U.S. government 
policies. Two categories of controls are included in this part.
    (a) Comprehensive controls. This part contains or refers to all the 
BXA licensing requirements, licensing policies, and License Exceptions 
for countries subject to general embargoes, currently Cuba, Libya, Iran 
and Iraq. This part is the focal point for all the EAR requirements for 
transactions involving these countries.
    (1) Cuba and Libya. All the items on the Commerce Control List (CCL) 
require a license to Cuba or Libya. In addition, most other items 
subject to the EAR, but not included on the CCL, designated by the 
Number ``EAR99'', require a license to Cuba or Libya. Most items 
requiring a license to these destinations are subject to a general 
policy of denial. Because these controls extend to virtually all 
exports, they do not appear in the Country Chart in part 738 of the EAR, 
nor are they reflected in the Commerce Control List in part 774 of the 
EAR.
    (2) Iran and Iraq. While BXA maintains controls on exports and 
reexports to Iran and Iraq, comprehensive embargoes on transactions 
involving these countries are administered by the Department of the 
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
    (b) Rwanda. The second category of controls that apply to Rwanda are 
supplemental to the controls described in the Country Chart in part 738 
of the EAR. Such controls are listed under each affected ECCN on the CCL 
in part 774 of the EAR.
    (c) This part also contains descriptions of controls maintained by 
the Office of Foreign Assets Control in the Treasury Department and by 
the Office of Defense Trade Controls in the Department of State. 
Comprehensive embargoes and supplemental controls implemented by BXA 
under the EAR usually also involve controls on items and activities 
maintained by these agencies. This part sets forth the allocation of 
licensing responsibilities between BXA and these other agencies. 
References to the requirements of other agencies are informational; for 
current, complete, and authoritative requirements, you should consult 
the appropriate agency's regulations.
    (d) Supplement No. 1 to this part provides you with general 
information on United Nations sanctions administered by the Department 
of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) (31 CFR part 
590) on UNITA in Angola.
    (e) Supplement No. 2 to this part provides you with general 
information on United Nations arms embargoes administered by the 
Department of State (22 CFR parts 120 through 130) on all the countries 
of the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, the Former 
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Slovenia), 
Liberia and Somalia.
    (f) Supplement No. 3 to this part provides you with information on 
embargoes on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) 
and certain areas of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina administered by OFAC 
(31 CFR part 585).
