Corrections to Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations

AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On May 18, 1999, the Bureau of Export Administration published 
an interim rule (64 FR 27138 ) implementing the export control 
provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention. This rule corrects 
inadvertent errors that appeared in the May 18 rule.

DATES: This rule is effective May 28, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Crowe, Regulatory Policy 
Division, Bureau of Export Administration, at (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, extended by Presidential notice of 
August 13, 1998 (63 FR 55121, August 17, 1998).

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This interim rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of E.O. 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure 
to comply with a collection of information, subject to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a 
currently valid OMB Control Number. This rule involves a collection of 
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.). These collections have 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.

[[Page 28909]]

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 rule. Accordingly, it 
is issued in final form.
