(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.
