SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    This rule makes the following corrections to the Export 
Administration Regulations.

Corrections to Citations in the EAR

    This rule makes corrections to citations to three different subject 
matters in the EAR. First, throughout the EAR, many sections refer 
readers to the General Prohibitions, which affirmatively state 
licensing requirements for transactions and activities subject to the 
EAR. The General Prohibitions can be found in part 736 of the EAR, but 
several locations in the EAR cite part 734 instead. This rule corrects 
inaccurate citations to the General Prohibitions in the note to Sec.  
740.12(a), in paragraphs (f) and (i) in Supplement No. 2 to part 748, 
and in Sec.  752.6(c).
    Next, Sec.  762.7 discusses the required period of retention for 
recordkeeping under the EAR, and paragraph (b) refers to ``Sec.  
765.5(c)(4)(ii)'' for recordkeeping related to voluntary disclosures. 
However, part 765 does not exist in the EAR. Thus, this rule replaces 
that reference with the correct citation, which is Sec.  
764.5(c)(4)(ii).
    Lastly, the definition for ``Hold Without Action (HWA)'' in Sec.  
772.1 refers to ``Sec.  750.4(c)'' for circumstances in which license 
applications may be held without action. However, Sec.  750.4(c) refers 
to initial processing of applications, so this rule replaces ``Sec.  
750.4(c)'' with the correct citation, which is Sec.  750.4(b).

Correction to the Removal of Indian Entities From the Entity List

    In accordance with the Next Steps in Strategic Partnership between 
the United States and India, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 
published a final rule on August 30, 2005 (70 FR 51251) removing 
certain Indian entities from the Entity List. One of the changes made 
concerned the removal of the second entry for the Department of Atomic 
Energy. The second entry for that entity contained the phrase ``balance 
of plant'', which was found in the column for License review policy. 
Prior to the August 30, 2005 final rule, a superscript ``1'' was 
located next to ``balance of plant'' to reference an endnote found at 
the end of Supplement No. 4 to Part 744, which further elaborated on 
the phrase. When the prior rule removed the second entry containing the 
superscript ``1'', it did not remove the endnote as well; thus, endnote 
1 has remained with no corresponding text. As a result, this rule 
removes endnote 1 for ``balance of plant'' from the end of Supplement 
No. 4 to Part 744.

Reinsertion of Grace Period Provision for Support Documents

    On June 19, 2007, BIS published a final rule (72 FR 33646) that 
inadvertently removed and reserved paragraph (a) in Sec.  748.12 
(special provisions for support documents), which should have remained 
in the EAR. Therefore, this rule corrects that removal by adding 
paragraph (a) back into Sec.  748.12.

Clarification on Filing an AES or SED Record for Exports Requiring a 
License

    Section 758.1 introduces the Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) and 
Automated Export System (AES), which are used by the Bureau of Census 
to compile data on trade statistics and used by BIS to collect data on 
export

[[Page 43530]]

controls. Paragraph (b) of Sec.  758.1 details when an SED or AES 
record is required when exporting an item subject to the EAR. Prior to 
this rule, paragraph (b)(2) stated that an exporter must file an SED or 
AES ``[f]or all exports subject to the EAR that require a license, 
regardless of value, or destination;''. This wording could cause 
ambiguity as to whether this paragraph requires an SED or AES record to 
be filed for the export of items having a license requirement that can 
be overcome by a license exception. The wording in paragraph (b)(2) is 
meant to apply only to those items having a license requirement that 
cannot be overcome by a license exception. Consequently, this rule 
changes the wording to read: ``[f]or all exports subject to the EAR 
that require submission of a license application, regardless of value 
or destination;''.

Addition of ``License Exceptions'' and ``List of Items Controlled'' 
Sections to ECCN 0A987, Addition of ``Reason for Control'' Paragraph to 
ECCNs 1C239 and 1C240, and Addition of ECCNs to ``Related Controls'' 
Paragraph of ECCN 1C239

    On April 13, 1999, BIS (then the Bureau of Export Administration, 
or BXA) published a final rule (64 FR 17968) that added Export Control 
Classification Number (ECCN) 0A987 to the Commerce Control List for 
optical sighting devices for firearms. Prior to that rule, optical 
sighting devices for firearms were controlled under ECCN 0A985 (then 
partially titled ``Optical sighting devices for firearms (including 
shotguns controlled by ECCN 0A984); discharge type arms * * *; and 
parts, n.e.s.''). In order to further clarity and consistency, BIS 
transferred optical sighting devices for firearms to a new ECCN. 
However, when ECCN 0A987 was added to the Commerce Control List, no 
License Exceptions section and no List of Items Controlled section were 
included. Since ECCN 0A985 previously controlled optical sighting 
devices for firearms, this rule adds a License Exceptions section and 
List of Items Controlled section to ECCN 0A987 that are identical to 
those respective sections in ECCN 0A985.
    In addition, ECCNs 1C239 (certain high explosives) and 1C240 
(certain nickel powder or porous nickel metal) currently list the 
applicable controls and country chart columns, but they do not list 
each reason for control at the beginning of the License Requirements 
section of each entry. Therefore, this rule adds the applicable reasons 
for control by adding nuclear nonproliferation (``NP'') and anti-
terrorism (``AT'') to both ECCNs 1C239 and 1C240.
    Lastly, this rule provides additional guidance by alerting readers 
of ECCN 1C239 to similar export controls found in related ECCNs. 
Specifically, this rule adds language to the ``Related Controls'' 
paragraph of ECCN 1C239 to refer readers to ECCNs 1C018 (commercial 
charges and devices containing energetic materials on the Wassenaar 
Arrangement Munitions List and certain chemicals) and 1C992 (certain 
commercial charges and devices containing energetic materials and 
nitrogen trifluoride in a gaseous state).

Removal of References to the International Munitions List

    This rule removes references to the International Munitions List 
found in various parts of the EAR and in three separate ECCNs. The 
International Munitions List was a term used by the Coordinating 
Committee on Multilateral Export Controls (CoCom). CoCom was a 
multilateral organization that restricted strategic exports to 
controlled countries. On March 31, 1994, CoCom disbanded and was later 
replaced by the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for 
Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. Due to the 
United States's membership in the Wassenaar Arrangement, this rule 
removes ``International Munitions List'' and replaces it with 
``Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List'' in Sec. Sec.  738.2(d)(1), 
744.17(d), 744.21(f), and 750.4(b)(6)(ii)(E), as well as in the 
headings of ECCNs 1B018, 2B018, and 8A018 on the Commerce Control List.

Removal of Nonexistent ECCN References Related to ``Space Qualified'' 
Items

    Section 740.2 details restrictions which prevent the use of any 
License Exceptions. One such restriction on the use of License 
Exceptions involves ``space qualified'' items, found in paragraph 
(a)(7) of Sec.  740.2. That paragraph lists ECCN 6D104 and ECCN 6E102 
as two ECCN entries for the ``software'' and ``technology'', 
respectively, for certain ``space qualified'' commodities. However, 
ECCNs 6D104 and 6E102 do not currently exist on the Commerce Control 
List; thus, this rule removes those references to ECCNs 6D104 and 6E102 
from Sec.  740.2(a)(7).
    Similarly, ECCN 6D001 also contains a reference to ECCN 6E102. In 
ECCN 6D001, the Related Controls paragraph instructs readers to ``[s]ee 
also 6D991, and ECCNs 6E001 (`development') and 6E102 (`use') for 
`technology' for items controlled under this entry.'' This rule revises 
that sentence to read ``See also 6D991, and ECCN 6E001 (`development') 
for `technology' for items controlled under this entry.''

Correction to the ECCN for Mobile Devices for Reexport to Sudan Under 
License Exception APR

    On July 23, 1999, BIS (then BXA) published a final rule (64 FR 
40106) that moved mobile communication devices from ECCN 5A991.f to 
ECCN 5A991.g. This renumbering of paragraphs in ECCN 5A991 was done 
pursuant to Wassenaar Arrangement review. Later, on May 26, 2000, BIS 
published another final rule (65 FR 34073) that reflected the 
classification change for mobile devices in Sec.  742.10(a)(2), which 
lists the ECCNs that are allowed for reexport to Sudan, under anti-
terrorism controls. However, that May 26, 2000, final rule did not 
update the classification change for mobile devices for Sec.  
740.16(i), which lists the ECCNs that are permitted for reexport to 
Sudan without a license under License Exception APR (additional 
permissive reexports). Prior to the May 26, 2000, final rule, the ECCNs 
listed in Sec.  742.10(a)(2) matched the ECCNs listed in Sec.  
740.16(i). To ensure conformity, this final rule updates Sec.  
740.16(i) to replace ``5A991.f'' with ``5A991.g'', which will make the 
requirements concerning reexports to Sudan under License Exception APR 
consistent with the list of items allowed for reexport to Sudan under 
Sec.  742.10.
    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001, 
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 3, 2006, 
71 FR 44551 (August 7, 2006), has continued the Export Administration 
Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers 
Act.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final 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 respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently 
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule 
involves a collection of information subject to the requirements of the 
PRA. This collection has previously been approved by OMB under control 
number 0694-0088 (Multi-Purpose

[[Page 43531]]

Application), which carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes to 
prepare and submit form BIS-748. Miscellaneous and recordkeeping 
activities account for 12 minutes per submission. BIS expects that this 
rule will not change that burden hour estimate.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined under E.O. 13132.
    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 the Administrative Procedure 
Act or by any other law, the analytical 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 Steven Emme, 
Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department 
of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.

12. Section 748.12 is amended by adding paragraph (a) to read as

Sec.  748.12  Special provisions for support documents.

    (a) Grace periods. Whenever the requirement for an Import 
Certificate or

[[Page 43532]]

End-User Statement or Statement by Ultimate Consignee or Purchaser is 
imposed or extended by a change in the regulations, the license 
application need not conform to the new support documentation 
requirements for a period of 45 days after the effective date of the 
regulatory change published in the Federal Register.
    (1) Requirements are usually imposed or extended by virtue of one 
of the following:
    (i) Addition or removal of national security controls over a 
particular item; or
    (ii) Development of an Import Certificate/Delivery Verification or 
End-User Certificate program by a foreign country; or
    (iii) Removal of an item from eligibility under the Special 
Comprehensive License described in part 752 of the EAR, when you hold 
such a special license and have been exporting the item under that 
license.
    (2) License applications filed during the 45 day grace period must 
be accompanied by any evidence available to you that will support 
representations concerning the ultimate consignee, ultimate 
destination, and end use, such as copies of the order, letters of 
credit, correspondence between you and ultimate consignee, or other 
documents received from the ultimate consignee. You must also identify 
the regulatory change (including its effective date) that justifies 
exercise of the 45 day grace period. Note that an Import Certificate or 
End-User Statement will not be accepted, after the stated grace period, 
for license applications involving items that are no longer controlled 
for national security reasons. If an item is removed from national 
security controls, you must obtain a Statement by Ultimate Consignee 
and Purchaser as described in Sec.  748.11 of this part. Likewise, any 
item newly controlled for national security purposes requires support 
of an Import Certificate or End-User Statement as described in Sec.  
748.10 of this part after expiration of the stated grace period.
