must comply with U.S. laws and regulations (including the ITAR).

(c) (1)Pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, the end-users or consignees can meet the above conditions, prior to access to defense articles, by requiring:

(i) A security clearance approved by the host nation government for its employees, or

(ii) The end-user or consignee have in place a process to screen its employees and to have executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement that provides assurances that the employee will not transfer any information to persons or entities unless specifically authorized by the consignee or end-user.

(2) The end-user or consignee must screen its employees for substantive contacts with restricted or prohibited countries listed in § 126.1. Substantive contacts include, but are not limited to, recent or regular travel to such countries, recent or continuing contact with agents and nationals of such countries, continued allegiance to such countries, or acts otherwise indicating a risk of diversion. Though nationality does not, in and of itself, prohibit access to defense articles or defense services, an employee that has substantive contacts with persons from countries listed in § 126.1(a) shall be presumed to raise a risk of diversion, unless DDTC determines otherwise. End-users and consignees must maintain a technology security/clearance plan that details its procedures for screening employees for such substantive contacts and maintain records of such screening. The technology security/clearance plan and screening records will be available to DDTC or its agents upon request.

**Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;**  **Maryland; Transportation Conformity Regulations; Withdrawal of Proposed**  **Rule**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Withdrawal of proposed rule.

**SUMMARY :**  On June 18, 2010 (75 FR 34669), EPA published a proposed rule to approve revisions to the Maryland State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions amended Maryland’s transportation conformity regulations and general conformity regulations. EPA’s approval did not include Maryland’s regulation regarding conflict resolution associated with conformity determinations (COMAR 26.11.26.06). EPA has determined that it cannot proceed with approval of these SIP revisions until and unless it also approves Maryland’s regulation regarding conflict resolution associated with conformity determinations. Therefore, EPA is withdrawing its proposed rule to approve Maryland’s conformity regulations. This withdrawal action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act.

**DATES :**  The proposed rule published June 18, 2010 (75 FR 34669) is withdrawn as of August 11, 2010.

**ADDRESSES :**  EPA has established docket number EPA–R03–OAR–2008–0871 for this action.

**Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;** **Delaware; Administrative and Non Substantive Changes to Existing**  **Delaware SIP Regulations**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule. **SUMMARY :**  EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Delaware consisting of administrative and non-substantive changes to the Delaware air pollution control regulations which EPA has previously approved as part of the Delaware State Implementation Plan (SIP). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register

, EPA is approving the State’s SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received in writing by September 10, 2010.
