[[Page 26923]]
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) provide that the
Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) may inform exporters,
individually or through amendment to the EAR, that a license is
required for exports or reexports to certain entities. The EAR contains
a list of such entities. This rule adds Bharat Electronics LTD, (aka
Baharat Electronics, Ltd.) located in India, to the entity list, and
requires a license for exports or reexports of all items subject to the
EAR.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective May 16, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eileen M. Albanese, Office of Exporter
Services, Bureau of Export Administration, Telephone: (202) 482-0436.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
General Prohibition Five (Sec. 736.2(b)(5) of the EAR) prohibits
exports to certain end-users or end-uses without a license. In the form
of Supplement No. 4 to part 744, BXA maintains an ``Entity List'' to
provide notice informing the public of certain entities subject to such
licensing requirements.
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.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, this rule involves a
collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This collection has been approved by the
Office of Management and Budget under control number 0694-0088.
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 (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 final 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. 553 or by any other
law, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.) are not applicable.
Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there
is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are
welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to Sharron
Cook, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Export Administration,
Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
