ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) amends the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR) to revise the existing 

authorization for Validated End User 

(VEU) Lam Research Service Co., Ltd. 

(Lam) in the People’s Republic of China 

(PRC). Specifically, BIS amends 

Supplement No. 7 to part 748 of the 

EAR to change two addresses for Lam’s 

eligible facilities (also known as 

‘‘eligible destinations’’), remove two 

existing facilities, and add eight eligible 

facilities. 

DATES: This rule is effective December 1, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Authorization Validated End-User 

Validated End Users (VEUs) are 

designated entities located in eligible 

destinations to which eligible items may 

be exported, reexported, or transferred 

(in-country) under a general 

authorization instead of a license. The 

names of the VEUs, as well as the dates 

they were so designated, and their 

respective eligible destinations and 

items are identified in Supplement No. 

7 to part 748 of the EAR. Under the 

terms described in that supplement, 

VEUs may obtain eligible items without 

an export license from BIS, in 

conformity with Section 748.15 of the 

EAR. Eligible items vary between VEUs 

and may include commodities, software, 

and technology, except those controlled 

for missile technology or crime control 

reasons on the Commerce Control List 

(CCL) (part 774 of the EAR). 

VEUs are reviewed and approved by 

the U.S. Government in accordance with 

the provisions of Section 748.15 and 

Supplement Nos. 8 and 9 to part 748 of 

the EAR. The End-User Review 

Committee (ERC), composed of 

representatives from the Departments of 

State, Defense, Energy, and Commerce, 

and other agencies, as appropriate, is 

responsible for administering the VEU 

program. BIS amended the EAR in a 

final rule published on June 19, 2007 

(72 FR 33646) to create Authorization 

VEU.

Amendments to Existing Validated EndUser Authorization in the People’s 

Republic of China (PRC) 

Revisions to the List of ‘‘Eligible 

Destinations’’ for Validated End User 

Lam Research Service Co., Ltd. (Lam) 

In this final rule, BIS amends 

Supplement No. 7 to part 748 of the 

EAR to revise Lam’s VEU authorization. 

BIS is not making these changes in 

response to activities of concern. BIS is 

making these changes at the request of 

the company. Specifically, this rule 

changes the address of two Lam 

facilities in the PRC to which eligible 

items may be exported, reexported or 

transferred (in-country) using 

Authorization VEU. The two facilities 

(‘‘Eligible destination’’) and their 

respective current and new addresses 

are as follows: 

Lam Research International Sarl (Lam 

Beijing Warehouse) 

Current Address: 

Lam Research International Sarl (Lam 

Beijing Warehouse), c/o Beijing Lam 

Electronics Tech Center, No. 8 Building 

No. 1, Disheng North Street, Beijing

Lam Research Service Co., Ltd. 

Beijing Branch, 6th Floor, Building 52, 

No.2, Jingyuan North Street, Beijing 

Economic & Technological Development 

Area, Beijing, China 100176. 

This rule does not change the eligible 

items, identified in Supplement No. 7 to 

part 748, that may be exported, 

reexported or transferred (in-country) to 

these two facilities. 

This rule also removes two of Lam’s 

existing eligible facilities. The facilities 

removed by this rule are as follows: 

Lam Research Semiconductor 

(Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (Suzhou) A Division 

of Lam Research International Sarl, 

A–2 Building, Export Processing Zone,

Lam Research (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., 

No.1 Jilong Road, Room 424–2, 

Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, Shanghai, 

China 200131. 

Finally, this rule adds eight facilities to 

Lam’s authorization. As a result of this 

rule, Lam’s total number of eligible 

facilities is 18. The eight new facilities 

and their respective eligible items 

(‘‘Eligible items (by ECCN)’’) are as

Export Administration Act 

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 amended by 

Executive Order 13637 of March 8, 

2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013) and 

as extended by the Notice of August 7, 

2014, 79 FR 46959 (August 11, 2014), 

has continued the Export 

Administration Regulations in effect 

under the International Emergency 

Economic Powers Act. 

BIS continues to carry out the 

provisions of the Export Administration 

Act, as appropriate and to the extent 

permitted by law, pursuant to Executive 

Order 13222 as amended by Executive 

Order 13637. 

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 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
71016 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 230 / Monday, December 1, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). Executive Order 13563 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, 

reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 

promoting flexibility. This rule has been 

determined to be not significant for 

purposes of Executive Order 12866. 

2. This rule involves collections 

previously approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

Control Number 0694–0088, ‘‘MultiPurpose Application,’’ which carries a 

burden hour estimate of 43.8 minutes to 

prepare and submit form BIS–748; and 

for recordkeeping, reporting and review 

requirements in connection with 

Authorization VEU, which carries an 

estimated burden of 30 minutes per 

submission. This rule is expected to 

result in a decrease in license 

applications submitted to BIS. Total 

burden hours associated with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA) and OMB 

Control Number 0694–0088 are not 

expected to increase significantly as a 

result of this rule. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions 

of law, no person is required to respond 

to, nor be subject to a penalty for failure 

to comply with a collection of 

information subject to the requirements 

of the PRA, unless that collection of 

information displays a currently valid 

OMB Control Number. 

3. This rule does not contain policies 

with Federalism implications as that 

term is defined under Executive Order 

13132. 

4. Pursuant to the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), BIS finds good cause to waive 

requirements that this rule be subject to 

notice and the opportunity for public 

comment because they are unnecessary. 

In determining whether to grant VEU 

designations, a committee of U.S. 

Government agencies evaluates 

information about and commitments 

made by candidate companies, the 

nature and terms of which are set forth 

in 15 CFR part 748, Supplement No. 8. 

The criteria for evaluation by the 

committee are set forth in 15 CFR 

748.15(a)(2). 

The information, commitments, and 

criteria for this extensive review were 

all established through the notice of 

proposed rulemaking and public 

comment process (71 FR 38313 (July 6, 

2006) (proposed rule), and 72 FR 33646 

(June 19, 2007) (final rule)). Given the 

similarities between the authorizations 

provided under the VEU program and 

export licenses (as discussed further 

below), the publication of this 

information does not establish new 

policy. In publishing this final rule, BIS 

updates addresses, adds eligible 

destinations, and removes eligible 

destinations of that VEU. These changes 

have been made within the established 

regulatory framework of the VEU 

program. Further, this rule does not 

abridge the rights of the public or 

eliminate the public’s option to export 

under any of the forms of authorization 

set forth in the EAR. 

Publication of this rule in other than 

final form is unnecessary because the 

authorizations granted in the rule are 

consistent with the authorizations 

granted to exporters for individual 

licenses (and amendments or revisions 

thereof), which do not undergo public 

review. In addition, as with license 

applications, VEU authorization 

applications contain confidential 

business information, which is 

necessary for the extensive review 

conducted by the U.S. Government in 

assessing such applications. This 

information is extensively reviewed 

according to the criteria for VEU 

authorizations, as set out in 15 CFR 

748.15(a)(2). Additionally, just as the 

interagency reviews license 

applications, the authorizations granted 

under the VEU program involve 

interagency deliberation and result from 

review of public and non-public 

sources, including licensing data, and 

the measurement of such information 

against the VEU authorization criteria. 

Given the nature of the review, and in 

light of the parallels between the VEU 

application review process and the 

review of license applications, public 

comment on this authorization and 

subsequent amendments prior to 

publication is unnecessary. Moreover, 

because, as noted above, the criteria and 

process for authorizing and 

administering VEUs were developed 

with public comments, allowing 

additional public comment on this 

amendment to individual VEU 

authorizations, which was determined 

according to those criteria, is 

unnecessary. 

Section 553(d) of the APA generally 

provides that rules may not take effect 

earlier than thirty (30) days after they 

are published in the Federal Register. 

BIS finds good cause to waive the 30- 

day delay in effectiveness under 5 

U.S.C. 553(d)(3) because the delay 

would be contrary to the public interest. 

BIS is simply amending the 

authorization of an existing VEU by 

updating two addresses, removing two 

existing facilities, and adding eight 

additional facilities, consistent with 

established objectives and parameters 

administered and enforced by the 

responsible designated departmental 

representatives to the End-User Review 

Committee. Delaying this action’s 

effectiveness could cause confusion 

regarding which facilitates and items are 

authorized by the U.S. Government and 

in turn stifle the purpose of the VEU 

Program. Accordingly, it is contrary to 

the public interest to delay this rule’s 

effectiveness. 

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 under the APA or by any other 

law, the analytical requirements of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.) are not applicable. As a result, 

no final regulatory flexibility analysis is 

required and none has been prepared.

PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY 

CORPORATION 

29 CFR Part 4044 

Allocation of Assets in SingleEmployer Plans; Valuation of Benefits 

and Assets; Expected Retirement Age 

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Pension 

Benefit Guaranty Corporation’s 

regulation on Allocation of Assets in 

Single-Employer Plans by substituting a 

new table for determining expected 

retirement ages for participants in 

pension plans undergoing distress or 

involuntary termination with valuation 

dates falling in 2015. This table is 

needed in order to compute the value of 

early retirement benefits and, thus, the 

total value of benefits under a plan. 

DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Catherine B. Klion (Klion.Catherine@

pbgc.gov), Assistant General Counsel for 

Regulatory Affairs, Pension Benefit 

Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street 

NW., Washington, DC 20005, 202–326– 

4024. (TTY/TDD users may call the 

Federal relay service toll-free at 1–800– 

877–8339 and ask to be connected to 

202–326–4024.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation 

(PBGC) administers the pension plan 

termination insurance program under 

Title IV of the Employee Retirement 

Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). 

PBGC’s regulation on Allocation of 

Assets in Single-Employer Plans (29 

CFR part 4044) sets forth (in subpart B) 

the methods for valuing plan benefits of 

terminating single-employer plans 

covered under Title IV. Guaranteed 

benefits and benefit liabilities under a 

plan that is undergoing a distress 

termination must be valued in 

accordance with subpart B of part 4044. 

In addition, when PBGC terminates an 

underfunded plan involuntarily 

pursuant to ERISA section 4042(a), it 

uses the subpart B valuation rules to 

determine the amount of the plan’s 

underfunding. 

Under § 4044.51(b) of the asset 

allocation regulation, early retirement 

benefits are valued based on the annuity 

starting date, if a retirement date has 

been selected, or the expected 

retirement age, if the annuity starting 

date is not known on the valuation date. 

Sections 4044.55 through 4044.57 set 

forth rules for determining the expected 

retirement ages for plan participants 

entitled to early retirement benefits. 

Appendix D of part 4044 contains tables 

to be used in determining the expected 

early retirement ages. 

Table I in appendix D (Selection of 

Retirement Rate Category) is used to 

determine whether a participant has a 

low, medium, or high probability of 

retiring early. The determination is 

based on the year a participant would 

reach ‘‘unreduced retirement age’’ (i.e., 

the earlier of the normal retirement age 

or the age at which an unreduced 

benefit is first payable) and the 

participant’s monthly benefit at 

unreduced retirement age. The table 

applies only to plans with valuation 

dates in the current year and is updated 

annually by the PBGC to reflect changes 

in the cost of living, etc. 

Tables II–A, II–B, and II–C (Expected 

Retirement Ages for Individuals in the 

Low, Medium, and High Categories 

respectively) are used to determine the 

expected retirement age after the 

probability of early retirement has been 

determined using Table I. These tables 

establish, by probability category, the 

expected retirement age based on both 

the earliest age a participant could retire 

under the plan and the unreduced 

retirement age. This expected retirement 

age is used to compute the value of the 

early retirement benefit and, thus, the 

total value of benefits under the plan. 

This document amends appendix D to 

replace Table I–14 with Table I–15 in 

order to provide an updated correlation, 

appropriate for calendar year 2015, 

between the amount of a participant’s 

benefit and the probability that the 

participant will elect early retirement. 

Table I–15 will be used to value benefits 

in plans with valuation dates during 

calendar year 2015. 

PBGC has determined that notice of, 

and public comment on, this rule are 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. Plan administrators need to be 

able to estimate accurately the value of 

plan benefits as early as possible before 

initiating the termination process. For 

that purpose, if a plan has a valuation 

date in 2015, the plan administrator 

needs the updated table being 

promulgated in this rule. Accordingly, 

the public interest is best served by 

issuing this table expeditiously, without 

an opportunity for notice and comment, 

to allow as much time as possible to 

estimate the value of plan benefits with 

the proper table for plans with valuation 

dates in early 2015. 

PBGC has determined that this action 

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under the criteria set forth in Executive 

Order 12866. 

Because no general notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required for this 

regulation, the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act of 1980 does not apply (5 U.S.C. 

601(2)).
