longer period as the Commission may 

designate up to ninety days of such date 

if it finds such longer period to be 

appropriate and publishes its reasons 

for so finding, the Commission shall 

either approve the proposed rule change 

or institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved. The 35th day for 

this filing was August 2, 2010.5 The 

Commission had received an extension 

of time from FINRA until August 16, 

2010.6

The Commission finds it appropriate 

to designate a longer period within 

which to take action on the proposed 

rule change so that it has sufficient time 

to consider this proposed rule change, 

relating to the amendment of clearly 

erroneous execution rules to provide 

greater transparency and certainty to the 

process of breaking trades, and the 

comment letters that have been 

submitted in connection with the filing. 

Accordingly, the Commission, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,7

designates August 30, 2010, as the date 

by which the Commission should either 

approve or institute proceedings to 

determine whether to disapprove the 

proposed rule change. 

By the Commission.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 7128] 

Bureau of Political-Military Affairs; 

Lifting of Policy of Denial Regarding 

ITAR Regulated Activities of Xe 

Services LLC, Formerly EP 

Investments, LLC (a/k/a Blackwater) 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Department of State is lifting the 

policy of denial regarding Xe Services 

LLC, formerly EP Investments, LLC (a/ 

k/a Blackwater) imposed on December 

18, 2008 (73 FR 77099) pursuant to 

section 38 of the Arms Export Control 

Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 2778) and section 

126.7 of the International Traffic in 

Arms Regulations (ITAR). 

DATES: Effective Date: August 17, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa 

V. Studtmann, Director, Office of 

Defense Trade Controls Compliance, 

Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, 

Department of State, (202) 663–2980. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

126.7 of the ITAR provides that any 

application for an export license or 

other approval under the ITAR may be 

disapproved, and any license or other 

approval or exemption granted may be 

revoked, suspended, or amended 

without prior notice whenever, among 

other things, the Department of State 

believes that 22 U.S.C. 2778, any 

regulation contained in the ITAR, or the 

terms of any U.S. Government export 

authorization (including the terms of a 

manufacturing license or technical 

assistance agreement, or export 

authorization granted pursuant to the 

Export Administration Act, as amended) 

has been violated by any party to the 

export or other person having a 

significant interest in the transaction; or 

whenever the Department of State 

deems such action to be in furtherance 

of world peace, the national security or 

the foreign policy of the United States, 

or is otherwise advisable. 

On December 2, 2008, the Department 

of State placed EP Investments, LLC, 

now Xe Services LLC (a/k/a Blackwater) 

(hereafter referred to as Xe), including 

its subsidiaries or associated companies, 

under a policy of denial to ensure that 

Xe is both capable of and willing to 

comply with the AECA and ITAR. 

The Department of State has 

determined that Xe has taken 

appropriate steps to address the causes 

of its ITAR violations, identify 

compliance problems, and resolve 

alleged violations. Xe replaced senior 

management; established, in October 

2008, an independent Export 

Compliance Committee to oversee its 

remedial compliance efforts; improved 

ITAR compliance procedures; 

conducted various ITAR training; and 

conducted a targeted ITAR audit to 

confirm the effectiveness of its 

compliance measures. Xe entered into a 

civil settlement with the Department to 

resolve outstanding violations, institute 

external compliance oversight, and 

continue and improve compliance 

measures. 

Therefore, the Department rescinds its 

denial policy against Xe and its 

subsidiaries and associated companies, 

effective August 17, 2010. 

Dated: August 18, 2010.

Assistant Secretary, Bureau of PoliticalMilitary Affairs, Department of State.
