[Docket No. 990811216-9216-01]
RIN 0694-AB81


Correction to Editorial Clarifications and Revisions to the 
Export Administration Regulations

AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: On August 30, 1999 (64 FR 47104), the Bureau of Export 
Administration published an interim rule revising the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR) by making certain editorial revisions 
and clarifications. Instruction No. 16 of that regulation inadvertently 
removed Firearms controls from ECCN 0A984.
    This regulation amends the Commerce Control List (CCL) by revising 
ECCN 0A984 to include Firearms controls for the entire entry.

DATES: This rule is effective August 30, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank J. Ruggiero, 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, as amended, 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 42527) August 13, 1997 (62 FR 43629), August 13, 1998 (63 FR 
44121), and August 10, 1999 (64 FR 44101).

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for 
the purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Not withstanding 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 collection has been approved by 
the Office of Management and Budget under control numbers 0694-0088, 
0694-0023, and 0694-0106. There are neither additions nor subtractions 
to these collections due to this rule.
    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 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 (see 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. Because a notice of proposed Rulemaking 
and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for 
this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553, or by any other law, the analytical 
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., 
are inapplicable.
    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 Frank J. 
Ruggiero, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Export Administration, 
Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
