Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 11, 2010 / Proposed Rules 48627 

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. The index to the docket is

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Delaware; Administrative and NonSubstantive 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.
