SUMMARY: The Department of State is correcting a final rule that 
appeared in the Federal Register of July 1, 2014 (79 FR 37536) and 
making other, minor changes.

DATES: This rule is effective on December 30, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. C. Edward Peartree, Director, 
Office of Defense Trade Controls Policy, Department of State, telephone

Change, USML Category XI Final Rule, Correction. The Department of 
State's full retrospective plan can be accessed at http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/181028.pdf.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is correcting the rule, 
``Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: United 
States Munitions List Category XI (Military Electronics), and Other 
Changes'' published in the Federal Register of July 1, 2014 (79 FR 
37536), and effective on December 30, 2014. The changes in this rule 
are meant to clarify the regulation by revising certain text and 
providing conforming updates to Supplement No. 1 to part 126, taking 
into account revisions made to the USML categories in the rule 
published on July 1, 2014.
    Additionally, minor corrections are made to section 126.6, as 
follows: 1) subparagraph (c)(4) is deleted to account for a previous 
revision to section 126.1 that excepts section 126.6; 2) subparagraph 
(c)(6)(ii) is revised to replace the obsolete term, ``Shippers Export 
Declaration'' with the correct term, ``Electronic Export Information;'' 
and, subparagraph (c)(7)(iv) is deleted to remove reference to the 
obsolete ``Direct Shipment Verification Program.''
    Pursuant to ECR, the Department of Commerce has been publishing 
revisions to the Export Administration Regulations, including various 
revisions to the Commerce Control List (CCL). Revision of the USML and 
CCL are coordinated so there is uninterrupted regulatory coverage for 
items moving from the jurisdiction of the Department of State to that 
of the Department of Commerce.
    The following corrections are made to the rule, ``Amendment to the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations: United States Munitions List 
Category XI (Military Electronics), and Other Changes'' published in 
the Federal Register of July 1, 2014 (79 FR 37536), and effective on
