SUMMARY: On October 12, 2011, notice was published on page 63341 of the 
Federal Register (volume 76, number 197) of determinations made by the 
Department of State pertaining to the exhibition ``The Dead Sea 
Scrolls: Life and Faith in Biblical Times.'' The referenced notice was 
corrected on October 19, 2012, by a notice published on pages 64373-
64374 of the Federal Register (volume 77, number 203) to change the 
exhibition name to ``The Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Ancient 
Times'' and to include additional objects as part of the exhibition. 
Today's notice is being issued to include an additional object in the 
exhibition. Notice is hereby given of the following determinations: 
Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Act of October 19, 1965 
(79 Stat. 985; 22 U.S.C. 2459), Executive Order 12047 of March 27, 
1978, the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (112 
Stat. 2681, et seq.; 22 U.S.C. 6501 note, et seq.), Delegation of 
Authority No. 234 of October 1, 1999, Delegation of Authority No. 236-3 
of August 28, 2000 (and, as appropriate, Delegation of Authority No. 
257 of April 15, 2003), I hereby determine that an additional object to 
be included in the exhibition ``The Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in 
Ancient Times,'' imported from abroad for temporary exhibition within 
the United States, is of cultural significance. The additional object 
is imported pursuant to loan agreements with the foreign owner or 
custodian. I also determine that the exhibition or display of the 
additional exhibit object at the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, 
OH, from on or about March 18, 2013, until on or about April 13, 2013, 
and at possible additional exhibitions or venues yet to be determined, 
is in the national interest. I have ordered that Public Notice of these 
Determinations be published in the Federal Register.
