Implementation of the Wassenaar Arrangement List of Dual-Use 
Items: Revisions to the Commerce Control List and Reporting Under the 
Wassenaar Arrangement

AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Interim rule with request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Representatives of thirty-three countries gave final approval 
July 12-13, 1996 in Vienna, Austria to establish the Wassenaar 
Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods 
and Technologies. The thirty-three countries agreed to control all 
items in the List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies with the objective 
of preventing unauthorized transfers. They further agreed on a target 
date of November 1, 1996, for implementation of the Wassenaar Lists.
    The purpose of this interim rule is to make the changes to the 
Commerce Control List necessary to implement the Wassenaar List. In 
addition, this interim rule imposes new reporting requirements on 
persons that export certain items controlled under the Wassenaar 
Arrangement to non-member countries in order to fulfill the information 
exchange requirements of the Wassenaar Arrangement. The Department of 
Commerce, with other concerned agencies, is reviewing the Export 
Administration Regulations to determine whether further changes will be 
required to implement the information sharing provisions of the 
Wassenaar Arrangement and to make the necessary adjustments to existing 
country groups.
    This rule also revises part 740 of the EAR by removing License 
Exception availability for certain items controlled for missile 
technology reasons.
    Although the Export Administration Act (EAA) expired on August 20, 
1994, the President invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers 
Act and continued in effect, to the extent permitted by law, the 
provisions of the EAA and the EAR in Executive Order 12924 of August 
19, 1994, as extended by the President's notices of August 15, 1995, 
August 14, 1996 and August 15, 1997.

DATES: This rule is effective January 15, 1998. Comments on this rule 
must be received on or before February 17, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Patricia Muldonian, 
Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Export Administration, Department 
of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Lewis, Director, Office of 
Strategic Trade and Foreign Policy Controls, Bureau of Export 
Administration, Telephone: (202) 482-0092.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In July 1996, the United States and thirty-two other countries gave 
final approval to the establishment of a new multilateral export 
control arrangement, called the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export 
Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies 
(Wassenaar Arrangement). The Wassenaar Arrangement contributes to 
regional and international security and stability by promoting 
transparency and greater responsibility in transfers of conventional 
arms and dual-use goods and technologies, thus preventing destabilizing 
accumulations of such items. Participating states have committed to 
exchange information on exports of dual-use goods and technologies to 
non-participating states for the purposes of enhancing transparency and 
assisting in developing common understandings of the risks associated 
with the transfers of these items.
    To fulfill U.S. commitments to the Wassenaar Arrangement with 
regard to dual-use items, this rule amends the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR) by imposing new reporting requirements for exports of 
certain items controlled under the Wassenaar Arrangement. Reports are 
not required for reexports. These new requirements appear in newly 
added part 743 of the EAR. Information from exporters will be 
consolidated by BXA for an aggregate data submission to the 
participating states.
    With respect to certain dual-use commodities, software, and 
technology, participating states have undertaken commitments to notify 
each other preferably within 30 days, but no later than 60 days, of an 
approval of a license that has been denied by another participating 
state for an essentially identical transaction during the preceding 
three years. Certain of these items are eligible for License Exceptions 
authorized by part 740 of the EAR. Therefore, in order to meet 
Wassenaar Arrangement requirements, exporters on occasion may be 
informed that the export of a certain item to a specific end-user under 
a License Exception is not authorized or alternatively, may be 
requested to provide prior written notification to BXA of an export of 
a certain item to a specific end-user under a License Exception.
    Reports are required to be submitted to BXA semiannually for 
specified items controlled under the Wassenaar Arrangement exported 
under License Exceptions LVS, GBS, CIV, CTP, TSR, and GOV. BXA must 
receive such reports no later than August 1 for exports during the 
reporting period January 1 through June 30, and no later than February 
1 for exports during the reporting period July 1 through December 31. 
The Export Control Classification Number and paragraph reference as 
identified on the Commerce Control List, number of units in each 
shipment, and the country of ultimate destination must be included in 
each report for each export during the reporting period. Although the 
exporter must be identified on all reports to BXA, names of exporters 
will not be released to participating states. Certain additional 
information requirements apply to digital computers.
    Exporters should note that the first report must be submitted to 
and received by BXA no later than August 1, 1998 for the partial 
reporting period beginning January 15, 1998 and ending June 30, 1998. 
Thereafter, reports are required semiannually according to the 
provisions of new Sec. 743.1(f) of the EAR.
    This rule also amends Sec. 742.12 of the EAR (High Performance 
Computers) to clarify the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for 
certain computer and software exports.
    This rule also amends part 740 of the EAR by adding appropriate 
cross-references to reporting requirements under License Exceptions 
LVS, GBS, CIV, TSR, CTP, and GOV. The major changes in the Commerce 
Control List (CCL) necessary to implement the Wassenaar Arrangement are 
summarized below.
    In addition, based on interagency agreement, particularly 
consultations with the Department of State, this rule revises part 740 
of the EAR by removing License Exception availability for missile 
technology (MT) controlled items, except that items described in ECCNs 
6A008, 7A001, 7A002, 7A004, 7A101, 7A102, 7A103, 7A104, 7D001, 7D002, 
7D003, 7D101, 7D102, 7E003, or 7E101, may be exported as part of a 
manned aircraft, satellite, land vehicle, or marine vehicle or in 
quantities

[[Page 2453]]

appropriate for replacement parts under License Exceptions TMP, RPL, 
TSU, or AVS. This action is based on a U.S. Government policy to 
restrict the proliferation of missile capability and is consistent with 
the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) multilateral guidelines.
    Also, in an effort to comply with our international commitments of 
the Wassenaar Arrangement, the U.S. has also committed to exercise 
extreme vigilance for certain items controlled for national security 
reasons (NS), which are considered most critical to military 
applications. This rule removes License Exception eligibility for 
License Exceptions LVS, CIV, TSR, and GOV for certain commodities, 
technologies, and software controlled for national security reasons for 
which the U.S. has agreed to license with extreme vigilance.

Category 1--Materials

    Additional controls have been added for body armor (1A005), certain 
fluorocarbon electronic cooling fluids (1C006), certain ``ceramic-
ceramic'' materials with oxide or glass matrix (1C007), certain metals 
and compounds (1C011), and certain material for nuclear heat sources. 
In addition, controls for ``stress'' limits for metal alloys (1C002), 
have been modified. Additional clarification of controls are specific 
for the transition temperature limits on certain ``fibrous or 
filamentary materials'' (1C010)

Category 2--Material Processing

    A significant number of changes have been implemented for machine 
tools. Specifically, the machine tool entry has been modified to 
separate the controls on turning, milling and grinding machines. In 
particular, such machines will no longer be controlled under the 
Wassenaar Arrangement on the basis of ``tilting spindles'', 
``camming'', or ``run-out''. Also, detailed test procedures, as 
specified by the International Standards Organization (ISO), will no 
longer be reiterated in the list. This revision will allow the 
regulations to remain effective while keeping the procedures under 
which the equipment is measured, current with industry practice. In 
addition, controls have been removed for ``numerical control'' units 
and ``motion control boards'', wire feed type electrical discharge 
machines (2B001), manual machines specially designed for bevel gears 
(2B003), systems for inspection of hemishells (2B006), and software for 
``flexible manufacturing units'' (2D002). Two additional items have 
been added under 2B001. They include ``specialty machines'' (i.e. deep 
hole drilling machines) and spin-forming/flow-forming machines. Lastly, 
controls on spindle assemblies and slide assemblies have been moved 
from 2B008 to 2B992 as specially designed components therefore.

Category 3--Electronics

    A number of controls have been removed for components under 
Category 3, including microprocessors up to a composite theoretical 
performance (CTP) value of 260 Mtops, most storage devices (i.e. memory 
circuits), and on custom integrated circuits (3A001). In addition, the 
frequency parameter for network analyzers and microwave test receivers 
have been relaxed, and controls on emulators (3A002) have been removed 
entirely. The most significant change is in the entries under Category 
3B dealing with semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Specifically, 
these entries have been combined and divided into two ECCNs. In 
addition, the limit for control of integrated circuits testers have 
been raised from 50 MHZ to 60 MHZ (3B002).

Category 4--Computers

    Under category 4, the CTP value for computers has been raised from 
260 Mtops to 2,000 Mtops. The limit on graphic accelerators and 
graphics coprocessors has been relaxed to a 3-D vector rate of 
3,000,000 (4A003). The technology for ``multi-data-stream processing'' 
has been revised to the control level defined in 4A003.b. (4E002). The 
technology for magnetic hard disk drives (4E002) has been removed.

Category 5--Telecommunications, Part I

    Several sections of Part I, Telecommunication have been removed 
creating a significant number of changes to the controls on 
telecommunication equipment. The majority of changes are identified in 
the following entries.
    All controls on telecommunication transmission equipment or 
systems, having digital cross connect equipment and modems (5A001.b.), 
have been removed. In addition, controls have been removed on certain 
communication channel controllers, certain network access controllers, 
certain radio equipment operating at frequencies of 31 GHz or less, and 
certain digital signal processing equipment based upon ``user-
accessible programmability'' by raising the control parameters in each 
instance (5A001.b.).
    Also, controls have been removed on ``stored program controlled'' 
switching equipment containing any of the following characteristics, 
functions or features (5A001.c.):

--``Integrated Services Digital Network'' (ISDN) functions;
--Multi-level priority and pre-emption for circuit switching;
--Routing or switching of ``datagram'' packets;
--Routing for switching of fast select packets;
--Automatic hand-off of cellular radio calls; and
--Digital cross connect equipment.

    Additionally, the control parameters for the ``data signaling 
rate'' for ``communications channel controllers'' and the digital 
transfer rate for ``network access controllers'' have been modified to 
relax controls on packet switches, circuit switches and routers. 
Controls on all general purpose test equipment (e.g. bit error rate 
testers and protocol analyzers) have been removed (5B001). Controls on 
software for use of digital switching equipment (5D001) have been 
removed and controls on development technology for spread spectrum and 
frequency hopping techniques (5E001.b.) have been added.

Category 5--``Information Security'', Part II

    Under Part II, ``Information Security'', certain items have been 
decontrolled through an expansion of ``Notes'' within the entry of 
5A002. These notes state that certain access control equipment (e.g. 
equipment to protect personal identification numbers [PIN]), data 
authentication equipment (e.g. equipment which calculates a Message 
Authentication Code [MAC]) and cryptographic equipment specially 
designed and limited for use in machines for banking or money 
transactions are not controlled. In addition, all software for virus 
protection (5D002) has been removed.

Category 6--Sensors and Lasers

    Under the acoustics section, controls for certain wide-swath 
bathymetric survey systems and terrestrial geophones have been removed. 
In addition, controls for towed acoustic hydrophone arrays and 
processing equipment for hydrophone arrays have been modified. Controls 
for bottom or bay cable systems (6A001) have been added. Under optical 
sensors, controls for specially designed components of image 
intensifier tubes (6A002) have been modified. Controls for monospectral 
imaging sensors have been added. Under optics, controls on certain 
optical filters and ``fluoride fiber'' cable (6A004) have been removed. 
Under lasers, certain carbon dioxide lasers, semiconductor lasers, ruby 
lasers, neodymium doped lasers and free electron lasers (6A005) have

[[Page 2454]]

been removed. Under radar, weather balloon tracking radars (6A008) have 
been removed. For production equipment, equipment for test, inspection 
and production of lasers (6B005) have been removed. In addition, 
controls on materials for optical fiber preforms for the manufacture of 
high birefringence fibers (6C002), materials for certain low optical 
absorption materials, and materials for optical fiber preforms for the 
manufacture of fluoride fibers (6C004) have been removed. Controls on 
software specially designed for bottom or bay cables have been added 
and controls on certain primary radar target data software (6D003) have 
been removed. Finally, controls for certain optical fabrication 
technology and technology for certain optical fibers (6E003) have been 
removed.

Category 7--Navigation and Avionics

    Controls on inertial navigation systems certified for use on 
``civil aircraft'' (7A003) have been removed. Also, controls for 
direction finder equipment (7A007), computer aided design (CAD) 
software (7D003), and technology for electric actuators for primary 
flight control and flight control optical sensor arrays (7E004) have 
been added.

Category 8--Marine

    Controls for certain underwater vision systems, certain 
photographic still cameras and certain light systems (8A002) have been 
relaxed. Controls on stirling cycle engine air independent power 
systems (8A002) have been clarified.

Category 9--Propulsion

    Under the section dealing with Test, Inspection and Production 
Equipment, several items have been removed, including automated 
equipment for measuring airfoil wall thickness, tooling/fixtures, and 
measuring equipment for hole drilling processing, ceramic core leaching 
equipment and ceramic shell burn out or firing equipment (9B001). 
Controls on brush seals have been narrowed by adding a control for a 
temperature limit (9B003) and expanded by adding tools, dies or 
fixtures for solid state joining of intermetallic airfoil-to-disk 
combinations for gas turbine engines (9B004). Transducers/strain 
gauges/accelerometers/thermocouples for vibration equipment (9B006) 
have also been removed. Accordingly, under software, controls for 
certain software for vibration test equipment as well as certain 
development/production software of test facilities for engines (9D004) 
have been removed. Finally, a few modifications have been made under 
technology for gas turbine engine components or systems and controls on 
helicopter power transfer systems or tilt rotor or tilt wing aircraft 
(9E003). Specifically, controls have been narrowed on technology for 
multiple domed combustors (9E003.a.2), the technology for gas bearing 
for gas turbine engine rotor assemblies (9E003.a.12), and the 
technology for helicopter, tilt rotor or tilt wing aircraft power 
transfer systems.
    All items removed from national security (NS) controls as a result 
of the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies will continue 
to be controlled for antiterrorism (AT) reasons.
    Numerous entries that are contained on the Wassenaar List of Dual-
Use Goods and Technologies are subject to the export licensing 
authority of the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Department of State. 
This rule will list all entries that are controlled on the Wassenaar 
List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies, but will specify that those 
entries are under the licensing authority of the Office of Defense 
Trade Controls, Department of State.
    On March 25, 1996 (61 FR 12714), BXA revised the Commerce Control 
List by adopting the European Union (EU) numbering system and converted 
our former ECCNs to correspond accordingly. The changes adopted by this 
rule attempts to further harmonize the CCL with the EU List. This 
ensures that identical ECCNs on the CCL and the EU List will identify 
the same item(s). From an enforcement or customs perspective, this 
common numbering system simplifies export controls for all countries 
that harmonize to this control list. As a result of this harmonization 
exercise, it was discovered that certain differences exist between the 
EU List and the CCL and among agencies within the U.S., in terms of 
MTCR related controls. These differences predominately exist in the 
area of technology and software controls. For most of the entries, the 
EU text was adopted or modified to ensure that it comported to the 
intent of the MTCR Annex. For those technology and software entries 
where differences could not be resolved at the interagency level, it 
was agreed to maintain the control text for those entries as published 
in the March 25 rule, until these differences are resolved.
    To ensure that no overlap in controls exists among the regimes and 
that the Wassenaar Arrangement list did not decontrol items that are 
currently controlled on the MTCR Annex, references to certain missile 
technology controlled entries were included and clarification notes 
were added to aid the exporter.
    In addition, this rule will include ECCN entries for those MTCR 
items that are under the licensing authority of the Department of 
State, Office of Defense Trade Controls. Those items are specifically 
listed on the CCL to inform the exporter that the corresponding EU list 
entry for such items are under the licensing authority of the 
Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls.
    BXA is continuing a comprehensive review of the Commerce Control 
List (CCL) to account for items controlled by the Nuclear Suppliers 
Group (NSG), the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), and the 
Australia Group (AG) and to correct errors published on March 25, 1996, 
and unavoidably reprinted in this version of the CCL. The review will 
be based in large part upon the comments received in response to the 
March 25 rule and upon ongoing efforts to harmonize the CCL with the 
EU's control list.

Saving Clause

    This rule revises the numbering and structure of certain entries on 
the Commerce Control List. For items under such entries and for April 
15, 1998, BXA will accept license applications for items described 
either by the entries in effect immediately before January 15, 1998 or 
the entries described in this rule. In addition, shipments of items 
removed from eligibility for export or reexport under a particular 
License Exception authorization or the designator NLR, as a result of 
this regulatory action, may continue to be exported or reexported under 
that License Exception authorization or designator until February 17, 
1998.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This interim rule has been determined to be significant for 
purposes of E.O. 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with a collection of information, subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), unless that 
collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control 
Number. This rule involves collections of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) These 
collections has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget 
under control numbers 0694-0073, 0694-0086, and 0694-0088. This rule 
also contains a new collection-of-information requirement subject to

[[Page 2455]]

the PRA that has received emergency approval under OMB control number 
0694-xxxx. The new information requirement and estimated public burden 
hours include: recording responses (5 minutes each); filing responses 
(1 minute each); and transmitting responses to BXA (10 minutes per 
exporter). These estimates include the time for reviewing instructions, 
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data 
needed, and completing and reviewing the collections of information. 
Send comments regarding these burden estimates or any other aspect of 
these collections of information, including suggestions for reducing 
the burden, to OMB Desk Officer, New Executive Office Building, 
Washington, DC 20503.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under 
Executive Order 12612.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for 
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable 
because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs 
function of the United States (Sec. 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no 
other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an 
opportunity for public comment be given for this interim rule. Because 
a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment 
are not required to be given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. or by any 
other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.
    However, because of the importance of the issues raised by these 
regulations, this rule is issued in interim form and comments will be 
considered in the development of final regulations.
    Accordingly, the Department encourages interested persons who wish 
to comment to do so at the earliest possible time to permit the fullest 
consideration of their views.
    The period for submission of comments will close February 17, 1998. 
The Department will consider all comments received before the close of 
the comment period in developing final regulations. Comments received 
after the end of the comment period will be considered if possible, but 
their consideration cannot be assured. The Department will not accept 
public comments accompanied by a request that a part or all of the 
material be treated confidentially because of its business proprietary 
nature or for any other reason. The Department will return such 
comments and materials to the person submitting the comments and will 
not consider them in the development of final regulations. All public 
comments on these regulations will be a matter of public record and 
will be available for public inspection and copying. In the interest of 
accuracy and completeness, the Department requires comments in written 
form.
    Oral comments must be followed by written memoranda, which will 
also be a matter of public record and will be available for public 
review and copying. Communications from agencies of the United States 
Government or foreign governments will not be made available for public 
inspection.
    The public record concerning these regulations will be maintained 
in the Bureau of Export Administration Freedom of Information Records 
Inspection Facility, Room 4525, Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230. Records in this 
facility, including written public comments and memoranda summarizing 
the substance of oral communications, may be inspected and copied in 
accordance with regulations published in Part 4 of Title 15 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations. Information about the inspection and copying of 
records at the facility may be obtained from Margaret Cornejo, Bureau 
of Export Administration Freedom of Information Officer, at the above 
address or by calling (202) 482-5653.

dissolving another substance to form a uniformly dispersed mixture 
(solution)''.
    <bullet> Solvents are liquids at standard temperature and 
pressure (STP).
    <bullet> In no instance is an AG controlled chemical considered 
a ``solvent''.
    <bullet> All ingredients of mixtures are expressed in terms of 
weight.
    <bullet> The solvent component of the mixture converts it into a 
solution.
    3. TRACE QUANTITIES: a. A license is required for mixtures 
containing any amount (including trace quantities) for the following 
chemicals: 0-Ethyl-2-diisopropylaminoethyl methyl phosphonite (QL)

Requirements Note, a license is not required under this entry for 
mixtures that contain a cumulative total concentration of no more 
than 10,000 parts by weight (pbw) per million of all precursor or 
intermediate chemicals listed in this entry. The calculation for 
this paragraph (3)(b) should not be done on a solvent-free basis 
(related ECCN: 1C995).
    c. Countries Not Eligible: The following countries are not 
eligible for exports under this Trace Quantities Note: Cuba, Iran, 
Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.
    4. COMPOUNDS: A license is not required under this entry for

Notes to Table on Deposition Techniques

    1. The term `coating process' includes coating repair and 
refurbishing as well as original coating.
    2. The term `alloyed aluminide coating' includes single or 
multiple-step coatings in which an element or elements are deposited 
prior to or during application of the aluminide coating, even if 
these elements are deposited by another coating process. It does 
not, however, include the multiple use of single-step pack 
cementation processes to achieve alloyed aluminides.
    3. The term `noble metal modified aluminide' coating includes 
multiple-step coatings in which the noble metal or noble metals are 
laid down by some other coating process prior to application of the 
aluminide coating.
    4. Mixtures consist of infiltrated material, graded 
compositions, co-deposits and multilayer deposits and are obtained 
by one or more of the coating processes specified in the Table.
    5. MCrAlX refers to a coating alloy where M equals cobalt, iron, 
nickel or combinations thereof and X equals hafnium, yttrium, 
silicon, tantalum in any amount or other intentional additions over 
0.01 weight percent in various proportions and combinations, except:
    a. CoCrAlY coatings which contain less than 22 weight percent of 
chromium, less than 7 weight percent of aluminum and less than 2 
weight percent of yttrium;
    b. CoCrAlY coatings which contain 22 to 24 weight percent of 
chromium, 10 to 12 weight percent of aluminum and 0.5 to 0.7 weight 
percent of yttrium; or
    c. NiCrAlY coatings which contain 21 to 23 weight percent of 
chromium, 10 to 12 weight percent of aluminum and 0.9 to 1.1 weight 
percent of yttrium.
    6. The term `aluminum alloys' refers to alloys having an 
ultimate tensile strength of 190 MPa or more measured at 293 K 
(20 deg. C).
    7. The term `corrosion resistant steel' refers to AISI (American 
Iron and Steel Institute) 300 series or equivalent national standard 
steels.
    8. Refractory metals consist of the following metals and their 
alloys: niobium (columbium), molybdenum, tungsten and tantalum.
    9. Sensor window materials, as follows: alumina, silicon, 
germanium, zinc sulphide, zinc selenide, gallium arsenide and the 
following metal halides: potassium iodide, potassium fluoride, or 
sensor window materials of more than 40 mm diameter for thallium 
bromide and thallium chlorobromide.
    10. ``Technology'' for single-step pack cementation of solid 
airfoils is not controlled by this Category.
    11. Polymers, as follows: polyimide, polyester, polysulfide, 
polycarbonates and polyurethanes.
    12. Modified zirconia refers to additions of other metal oxides, 
(e.g., calcia, magnesia, yttria, hafnia, rare earth oxides) to 
zirconia in order to stabilize certain crystallographic phases and 
phase compositions. Thermal barrier coatings made of zirconia, 
modified with calcia or magnesia by mixing or fusion, are not

Technical Note to Table on Deposition Techniques

    Processes specified in Column 1 of the Table are defined as 
follows:
    a. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is an overlay coating or 
surface modification coating process wherein a metal, alloy, 
``composite'', dielectric or ceramic is deposited upon a heated 
substrate. Gaseous reactants are decomposed or combined in the 
vicinity of a substrate resulting in the deposition of the desired 
elemental, alloy or compound material on the substrate. Energy for 
this decomposition or chemical reaction process may be provided by 
the heat of the substrate, a glow discharge plasma, or ``laser'' 
irradiation.

    Note 1: CVD includes the following processes: directed gas flow 
out-of-pack deposition, pulsating CVD, controlled nucleation thermal 
decomposition (CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted CVD 
processes.
    Note 2: Pack denotes a substrate immersed in a powder mixture.
    Note 3: The gaseous reactants used in the out-of-pack process 
are produced using the same basic reactions and parameters as the 
pack cementation process, except that the substrate to be coated is 
not in contact with the powder mixture.

    b. Thermal Evaporation-Physical Vapor Deposition (TE-PVD) is an 
overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum with a pressure less 
than 0.1 Pa wherein a source of thermal energy is used to vaporize 
the coating material. This process results in the condensation, or 
deposition, of the evaporated species onto appropriately positioned 
substrates. The addition of gases to the vacuum chamber during the 
coating process to synthesize compound coatings is an ordinary 
modification of the process. The use of ion or electron beams, or 
plasma, to activate or assist the coating's deposition is also a 
common modification in this technique. The use of monitors to 
provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and 
thickness of coatings can be a feature of these processes. Specific 
TE-PVD processes are as follows:
    1. Electron Beam PVD uses an electron beam to heat and evaporate 
the material which forms the coating;
    2. Resistive Heating PVD employs electrically resistive heating 
sources capable of producing a controlled and uniform flux of 
evaporated coating species;
    3. ``Laser'' Evaporation uses either pulsed or continuous wave 
``laser'' beams to heat the material which forms the coating;
    4. Cathodic Arc Deposition employs a consumable cathode of the 
material which forms the coating and has an arc discharge 
established on the surface by a momentary contact of a ground 
trigger. Controlled motion of arcing erodes the cathode surface 
creating a highly ionized plasma. The anode can be either a cone 
attached to the periphery of the cathode, through an insulator, or 
the chamber. Substrate biasing is used for non line-of-sight 
deposition.

    Note: This definition does not include random cathodic arc 
deposition with non-biased substrates.

    c. Ion Plating is a special modification of a general TE-PVD 
process in which a plasma or an ion source is used to ionize the 
species to be deposited, and a negative bias is applied to the 
substrate in order to facilitate the extraction of the species to be 
deposited from the plasma. The introduction of reactive species, 
evaporation of solids within the process chamber, and the use of 
monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical 
characteristics and thicknesses of coatings are ordinary 
modifications of the process.
    d. Pack Cementation is a surface modification coating or overlay 
coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in a powder mixture 
(a pack), that consists of:
    1. The metallic powders that are to be deposited (usually 
aluminum, chromium, silicon or combinations thereof);
    2. An activator (normally a halide salt); and
    3. An inert powder, most frequently alumina. The substrate and 
powder mixture is contained within a retort which is heated to 
between 1,030 K (757 deg. C) to 1,375 K (1,102 deg. C) for 
sufficient time to deposit the coating.
    e. Plasma Spraying is an overlay coating process wherein a gun 
(spray torch) which produces and controls a plasma accepts powder or 
wire coating materials, melts them and propels them towards a 
substrate, whereon an integrally bonded coating is formed. Plasma 
spraying constitutes either low pressure plasma spraying or high 
velocity plasma spraying carried out underwater.

    Note 1: Low pressure means less than ambient atmospheric 
pressure.
    Note 2: High velocity refers to nozzle-exit gas velocity 
exceeding 750 m/s calculated at 293 K (20 deg. C) at 0.1 MPa.

    f. Slurry Deposition is a surface modification coating or 
overlay coating process wherein a metallic or ceramic powder with an 
organic binder is suspended in a liquid and is applied to a 
substrate by either spraying, dipping or painting, subsequent air or 
oven drying, and heat treatment to obtain the desired coating.
    g. Sputter Deposition is an overlay coating process based on a 
momentum transfer phenomenon, wherein positive ions are accelerated 
by an electric field towards the surface of a target (coating 
material). The kinetic energy of the impacting ions is sufficient to 
cause target surface atoms to be released and deposited on an 
appropriately positioned substrate.

    Note 1: The Table refers only to triode, magnetron or reactive 
sputter deposition which is used to increase adhesion of the coating 
and rate of deposition and to radio frequency (RF) augmented sputter 
deposition used to permit vaporization of non-metallic coating 
materials.
    Note 2: Low-energy ion beams (less than 5 keV) can be used to 
activate the deposition.

    h. Ion Implantation is a surface modification coating process in 
which the element to be alloyed is ionized, accelerated through a 
potential gradient and implanted into the surface region of the 
substrate. This includes processes in which ion implantation is 
performed simultaneously with electron beam physical vapor 
deposition or sputter deposition.
