Revisions to the Export Administration 

Regulations Based on U.S. 

Recognition of Montenegro as a 

Sovereign State; Correction 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Correcting amendment. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS) published a final rule in 

the Federal Register on Monday, 

November 27, 2006 (71 FR 68438) that 

amended the Export Administration 

Regulations (EAR) to add ‘‘Montenegro’’

and ‘‘Serbia’’ as separate countries in 

the EAR and to establish separate export 

licensing requirements for Montenegro 

and Serbia. The November 27, 2006, 

final rule omitted a conforming 

amendment to the list of States Parties 

to the Chemical Weapons Convention in 

the EAR. This document corrects that 

rule by listing Serbia and Montenegro as 

separate countries on that list. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is 

effective March 19, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Although this is a final rule, 

comments are welcome and should be 

sent to publiccomments@bis.doc.gov, 

fax (202) 482–3355, or to Regulatory 

Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Room H2705, U.S. Department 

of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This document corrects an 

inadvertent omission in the final rule 

that was published by the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) on 

November 27, 2006 (71 FR 68438). The 

November 27, 2006 final rule did not 

include a conforming amendment to 

Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the 

EAR to amend the reference to ‘‘Serbia 

and Montenegro’’. This document 

corrects Supplement No. 2 to part 745 

by removing ‘‘Serbia and Montenegro’’

and adding ‘‘Montenegro’’ and ‘‘Serbia’’. 

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 3, 2006, 71 FR 44551 

(August 7, 2006), has continued the 

Export Administration Regulations in 

effect under the International 

Emergency Economic Powers Act. 

Rulemaking Requirements 

1. This final rule has been determined 

to be not significant for purposes of E.O. 

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 previously 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. This rule is 

not expected to result in any change for 

collection purposes. 

3. This rule does not contain policies 

with Federalism implications as that 

term is defined under E.O. 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 

States (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 

the Administrative Procedure Act 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. Comments should be submitted to

Division, Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Department of Commerce, P.O.
