Amendment to the International Arms Traffic in Arms Regulations: 
The United States Munitions List; Correction

SUMMARY: The Department of State published a final rule in the Federal

restoring the language in the note.

DATES: Effective on April 24, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of State published a final 
rule (Public Notice 4723) in the Federal Register of May 21, 2004,
