### 13672 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 23, 2010 / Rules and Regulations

creating additional controlled airspace at West Bend Municipal Airport (74 FR 68746) Docket No. FAA–2009–1149. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by adding additional Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to accommodate SIAPs at West Bend Municipal Airport, West Bend, WI. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.

The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is
not a ‘‘ significant regulatory action ’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘ significant rule ’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it amends controlled airspace at West Bend Municipal Airport, West Bend, WI. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is publishing this final rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the understandings reached at the September 2009 plenary meeting of the Australia Group (AG). This rule also amends the EAR to implement a decision recommended at the 2009 AG Plenary that was adopted under the AG intersessional silent approval procedures in October 2009.

Consistent with the understandings reached at the 2009 AG Plenary, this final rule amends the EAR to reflect the addition of technical notes to the AG

‘‘ Control List of Dual-Use Chemical Manufacturing Facilities and Equipment and Related Technology and Software. ’’ The purpose of the new technical notes is to: clarify the term ‘‘ alloys, ’’ as used in reference to the types of ‘‘ materials ’’ from which such equipment is made; and clarify the term ‘‘ nominal size, ’’ as used in reference to the valves described on this AG control list.

This final rule also amends the EAR to reflect the AG decision (recommended at the 2009 AG Plenary and adopted under the AG intersessional silent approval procedures) to remove ‘‘white pox’’ virus from the AG ‘‘ List of Biological Agents for Export Control. ’’

**DATES :**  This rule is effective March 23, 2010. Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome on a continuing basis.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may submit comments, identified by RIN 0694–AE85, by any of the following methods:

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the understandings reached at the annual plenary meeting of the Australia Group (AG) that was held in Paris, France, on September 21–25, 2009, as well as a decision recommended at the 2009 AG Plenary that was adopted under the AG intersessional silent approval procedures in October 2009. The AG is a multilateral forum, consisting of 40 participating countries, that maintains export controls on a list of chemicals, biological agents, and related equipment and technology that could be used in a chemical or biological weapons program. The AG periodically reviews items on its control list to enhance the effectiveness of participating governments’ national controls and to achieve greater harmonization among these controls.

Consistent with the understandings reached at the 2009 AG Plenary, this final rule amends the EAR to conform with certain changes to the AG ‘‘ Control List of Dual-Use Chemical Manufacturing Facilities and Equipment and Related Technology and Software. ’’ Specifically, this rule amends Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 2B350 (Chemical manufacturing facilities and equipment) on the Commerce Control List (CCL) (Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the EAR) by adding a new technical note and amending an existing technical note to clarify the use of the terms ‘‘ nominal size ’’ and ‘‘ alloy ’’ in connection with items controlled under this ECCN.

First, this rule adds a new technical note immediately following 2B350.g to clarify that, for purposes of the valves described therein, the term ‘‘ nominal size ’’ is defined as the smaller of the inlet and outlet port diameters. Second, this rule amends Technical Note 2 at the end of ECCN 2B350 to clarify that, with respect to the ‘‘ materials ’’ from which the equipment is made, the term ‘‘ alloy, ’’ when not accompanied by a specific elemental concentration, is understood as identifying those alloys where the identified metal is present in a higher percentage by weight than any other element.

Finally, this rule amends ECCN 1C351 on the CCL to reflect the AG decision (recommended at the 2009 AG Plenary and adopted under the AG intersessional silent approval procedures) to remove ‘‘white pox’’ virus from the AG ‘‘ List of Biological Agents for Export Control. ’’ Consistent with this change, this rule renumbers and/or reorders certain viruses listed in ECCN 1C351.a to conform with the format in the AG List of Biological Agents. The AG decision to remove this virus from its list of biological agents is based on the fact that the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses does not recognize ‘‘white pox’’ virus as a separate entity, since the virus has been determined to be a laboratory artifact resulting from sample contamination with the variola virus.

Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001, the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 13, 2009, 74 FR 41325 (August 14, 2009), has continued the Export Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Saving Clause

Shipments of items removed from eligibility for export or reexport under a license exception or without a license ( i.e., under the designator ‘‘ NLR’’ ) as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en route aboard a carrier to a port of export, on April 22, 2010, pursuant to actual orders for export or reexport to a foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previously applicable license exception or without a license (NLR) so long as they are exported or reexported before May 7, 2010. Any such items not actually exported or reexported before midnight, on May 7, 2010, require a license in accordance with this regulation.

‘‘Deemed ’’ exports of ‘‘technology ’’ and

‘‘ source code ’’ removed from eligibility for export under a license exception or without a license (under the designator

‘‘ NLR’’ ) as a result of this regulatory action may continue to be made under the previously available license exception or without a license (NLR) before May 7, 2010. Beginning at midnight on May 7, 2010, such

‘‘technology ’’ and ‘‘ source code ’’ may no longer be released, without a license, to a foreign national subject to the

‘‘ deemed ’’ export controls in the EAR when a license would be required to the home country of the foreign national in accordance with this regulation. Rulemaking Requirements

1. This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866.

2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ) (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule contains a collection of information subject to the requirements of the PRA. This collection has been approved by OMB under Control Number 0694–0088 (Multi-Purpose Application), which carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS–748. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Jasmeet Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and to the Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, as indicated in the

**ADDRESSES** section of this rule.

3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined in Executive Order
13132.

4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs function of the United


### 13674 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 23, 2010 / Rules and Regulations

States ( See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553 or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ) are not applicable.

Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome on a continuing basis. List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 774
