Correction to Revisions and Clarifications to the Export
Administration Regulations; Commerce Control List
AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 5, 1999, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA)
published a final rule (64 FR 10852) revising the Commerce Control List
(CCL) by making certain revisions and clarifications and, in some
cases, inserted material inadvertently omitted from the January 15,
1998 (63 FR 2452) interim rule that implemented the Wassenaar
Arrangement list of dual-use items.
This regulation amends the CCL by correcting two inadvertent
typographic errors in the Clarification regulation which appeared in
the Federal Register on March 5, 1999.
DATES: This rule is effective March 15, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Muldonian, Regulatory Policy
Division, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Export Administration,
Telephone: (202) 482-2440.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Although the Export Administration Act (EAA)
expired on August 20, 1994, the President invoked the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act and continued in effect the EAR and, to
the extent permitted by law, the provisions of the EAA in Executive
Order 12924 of August 19, 1994, as extended by the President's notices
of August 15, 1995 (60 FR 42767), August 14, 1996 (61 FR 42767), August
13, 1997 (62 FR 43629) and August 13, 1998 (63 FR 44121).
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
the purposes of Executive Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information
displays a current valid OMB Control Number. This rule involves
collections of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These collections have been approved by
the Office of Management and Budget under control numbers 0694-0086 and
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. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) or by any other law, under
section 3(a) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 603(a) and
604(a)) no initial or final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has to be
or will be prepared.
5. 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 or foreign affairs function
of the United States. No other law requires that a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this
rule.
Accordingly, it is issued in final form. However, comments from the
public are always welcome. Comments should be submitted to Patricia
Muldonian, Regulatory Policy Division, Office of Exporter Services,
Bureau of Export Administration, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273,
Washington, DC 20044.
