BIS removes Satori Corporation from Entity List (France and UAE entries)

Mechanism

This is a routine ERC housekeeping rule under 15 CFR Part 744. Satori Corporation had been placed on the Entity List on 22 December 2020 under two entries: one under France, one under the United Arab Emirates. The removal notice does not disclose the original national-security or foreign-policy rationale for the listing, nor the specific information that led the ERC to approve the removal.

The removal was driven by:

• A removal request submitted pursuant to EAR §744.16 procedures; and
• BIS review of information provided in response to that request.

Following the ERC decision, Satori Corporation's name was deleted from both the France and UAE entries in the supplement to 15 CFR Part 744, and export licence requirements arising from Entity List status no longer apply as of the effective date.

Why this matters (low severity)

This is a single-entity, two-entry administrative de-listing. It:

• Removes the licence requirement for exports, reexports, and transfers

to Satori Corporation under any entry on the Entity List;

• Does not alter any other Entity List entry, CCL control, or EAR

policy posture;

• Is consistent with the standard post-listing review pathway under

§744.16: parties may submit information demonstrating they no longer warrant listing, after which the ERC votes.

Severity is set at 1 (routine de-listing of one entity with no disclosed strategic significance or sector context).

Downstream implications

• De minimis compliance relief for counterparties of Satori Corporation

in France and the UAE: exports of EAR-controlled items to this entity no longer require an Entity List licence.

• No discernible policy signal beyond routine ERC case-by-case hygiene.

Open questions

• The original December 2020 listing rationale is not disclosed in the

public removal notice. The activities "contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States" that prompted the initial listing remain unspecified.

• Satori Corporation's industry sector is not identified in either the

addition or removal notices.
