Corrections and Clarifications to the

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule; correcting 

amendments. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS) is correcting certain 

provisions of the Export Administration 

Regulations that were amended by two 

final rules appearing in the Federal 

Register on June 5, 2014 and on May 13, 

2014. Both rules amended a number of 

the same provisions of the Export 

Administration Regulations, and certain 

language was either removed or changed 

inadvertently. This final rule corrects 

those provisions to accurately reflect the 

revisions made by both rules. 

DATES: This rule is effective August 18, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Bureau of Industry and Security 

(BIS) publishes this final rule to make 

corrections to certain provisions of the 

Export Administration Regulations that 

were amended by two final rules 

appearing in the Federal Register on 

June 5, 2014 (79 FR 32612) and on May 

13, 2014 (79 FR 27417). These two rules 

were drafted and finalized 

simultaneously, however they 

separately revised some of the same 

provisions of the Export Administration 

Regulations and certain language was 

either removed or changed 

inadvertently. This final rule corrects 

those provisions to accurately reflect the 

revisions made by both rules. These 

corrections include reinserting two 

sentences inadvertently removed 

because of an incorrect instruction in 

the June 5 rule, and reinserting a phrase 

inadvertently removed by the May 13 

rule, which did not reflect a correction 

made in a final rule published on 

October 3, 2013 (78 FR 61745). 

Rulemaking Requirements 

1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distribute impacts, and equity). 

Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. This final rule, which is a 

consolidation of corrections and 

clarifications of final rules published in 

2013 and 2014, has been determined to 

be not significant for purposes of 

Executive Order 12866.

2. The Department of Commerce finds 

that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act otherwise 

requiring prior notice and the 

opportunity for public comment 

because they are unnecessary. The 

revisions made by this rule are technical 

corrections to provisions that have 

already been subject to public notice 

and the opportunity to comment. These 

revisions in this rule are important to 

get in place as soon as possible to avoid 

confusion by the public regarding the 

intent and meaning of recent changes to 

the EAR. In addition, BIS finds good 

cause to waive the 30-day delay in 

effectiveness under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). 

As mentioned previously, the revisions 

made by this rule are technical 

corrections that need to be in place as 

soon as possible to avoid confusion by 

the public regarding the intent and 

meaning of recent changes to the EAR. 

3. Because a notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

public comment are not required to be 

given for these amendments by 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.
