Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore: (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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Import Restrictions Imposed on 

Archaeological and Ethnological 

Material From Libya 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection; Department of Homeland 

Security; Department of the Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This document amends the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) regulations to continue the import 

restrictions on archaeological and 

ethnological material from Libya 

previously imposed on an emergency 

basis in a final rule published on 

December 5, 2017. These restrictions are 

being imposed pursuant to an agreement 

between the United States and Libya 

that has been entered into under the 

authority of the Convention on Cultural 

Property Implementation Act. The 

document also contains the Designated 

List of Archaeological and Ethnological 

Material of Libya that describes the 

articles to which the restrictions apply. 

Accordingly, this document amends the 

CBP regulations by removing Libya from 

the listing of countries for which 

emergency actions imposed the import 

restrictions, and adding Libya to the list 

of countries for which an agreement has 

been entered into for imposing import 

restrictions. 

DATES: Effective Date: July 9, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Pursuant to the Convention on 

Cultural Property Implementation Act, 

Pub. L. 97–446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. 

(hereinafter, ‘‘the Cultural Property 

Implementation Act’’ or ‘‘the Act’’), 

which implements the 1970 United 

Nations Educational, Scientific and 

Cultural Organization (UNESCO) 

Convention on the Means of Prohibiting 

and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export 

and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural 

Property (hereinafter, ‘‘1970 UNESCO 

Convention’’ or ‘‘the Convention’’ (823 

U.N.T.S. 231 (1972))), the United States 

may enter into international agreements 

with another State Party to the 1970 

UNESCO Convention to impose import 

restrictions on eligible archaeological 

and ethnological material under 

procedures and requirements prescribed 

by the Act. In certain limited 

circumstances, the Cultural Property 

Implementation Act authorizes the 

imposition of restrictions on an 

emergency basis (19 U.S.C. 2603). The 

emergency restrictions are effective for 

no more than five years from the date 

of the State Party’s request and may be 

extended for three years where it is 

determined that the emergency 

condition continues to apply with 

respect to the covered material (19 

U.S.C. 2603(c)(3)). These restrictions 

may also be continued pursuant to an 

agreement concluded within the 

meaning of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

2603(c)(4)). 

Libya has been one of the countries 

whose archaeological and ethnological 

material has been afforded emergency 

protection. On December 5, 2017, U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

published a final rule, CBP Dec. 17–19, 

in the Federal Register (82 FR 57346) 

which amended CBP regulations in 19 

CFR 12.104g(b) to reflect that 

archaeological material and ethnological 

material from Libya received import 

protection under the emergency 

protection provisions of the Act. 

Import restrictions are now being 

imposed on the same categories of 

archaeological and ethnological material 

from Libya as a result of a bilateral 

agreement entered into between the 

United States and Libya. This agreement 

was entered into on February 23, 2018, 

pursuant to the provisions of 19 U.S.C. 

2602. Protection of the archaeological 

and ethnological material from Libya 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 131 / Monday, July 9, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 31655 

previously reflected in § 12.104g(b) will 

be continued through the bilateral 

agreement without interruption. 

Accordingly, § 12.104g(a) of the CBP 

regulations is being amended to indicate 

that restrictions have been imposed 

pursuant to the agreement between the 

United States and Libya, and the 

emergency import restrictions on certain 

categories of archaeological and 

ethnological material from Libya are 

being removed from § 12.104g(b) as 

those restrictions are now encompassed 

in § 12.104g(a). 

In reaching the decision to 

recommend that negotiations for an 

agreement with Libya should be 

undertaken to continue the imposition 

of import restrictions on certain 

archaeological and ethnological material 

of Libya, the Acting Under Secretary for 

Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, 

State Department, after consultation 

with and recommendations by the 

Cultural Property Advisory Committee, 

determined that the cultural heritage of 

Libya is in jeopardy from pillage of 

certain categories of archaeological and 

ethnological material, and that import 

restrictions should be imposed for a 

five-year period until February 23, 2023. 

Importation of such material continues 

to be restricted through that date unless 

the conditions set forth in 19 U.S.C. 

2606 and 19 CFR 12.104c are met. 

Designated List 

The bilateral agreement between 

Libya and the United States covers the 

material set forth below in a Designated 

List of Archaeological and Ethnological 

Material of Libya. Importation of 

material on this list is restricted unless 

the material is accompanied by 

documentation certifying that the 

material left Libya legally and not in 

violation of the export laws of Libya. 

The Designated List covers 

archaeological material of Libya and 

Ottoman ethnological material of Libya 

(as defined in section 302 of the 

Convention on Cultural Property 

Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2601)), 

including, but not limited to, the 

following types of material. The 

archaeological material represents the 

following periods and cultures: 

Paleolithic, Neolithic, Punic, Greek, 

Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and Ottoman 

dating approximately 12,000 B.C. to 

1750 A.D. The ethnological material 

represents categories of Ottoman objects 

derived from sites of Islamic cultural 

importance, made by a nonindustrial 

society (Ottoman Libya), and important 

to the knowledge of the history of 

Islamic Ottoman society in Libya from 

1551 A.D. through 1911 A.D.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Virginia Department of Transportation, 

owner and operator of the SR 175 Bridge 

that carries SR 175 across the Black 

Narrows and Lewis Creek Channel, mile 

0.0, at Chincoteague Island, VA, has 

requested a temporary deviation from 

the current operating regulations to 

ensure the safety of the participants and 

spectators associated with the 2018 

Annual Pony Run and Auction on July 

25, 2018, and July 26, 2018. This bridge 

is a single-span bascule drawbridge, 

with a vertical clearance of 15 feet above 

mean high water in the closed position 

and unlimited vertical clearance in the 

open position. 

The current operating regulation is set 

out in 33 CFR 117.5. Under this 

temporary deviation, the bridge will be 

maintained in the closed-to-navigation 

position from 6 a.m. through 6 p.m. on 

July 25, 2018, and July 26, 2018. 

The Black Narrows and Lewis Creek 

Channel is used by a variety of vessels 

including recreational vessels. The 

Coast Guard has carefully coordinated 

the restrictions with waterway users in 

publishing this temporary deviation. 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed-to-navigation 

position may do so at anytime. The 

bridge will not be able to open for 

emergencies and there is no immediate 

alternative route for vessels unable to 

pass through the bridge in the closed 

position. The Coast Guard will also 

inform the users of the waterway 

through our Local and Broadcast 

Notices to Mariners of the change in 

operating schedule for the bridge so that 

vessel operators can arrange their 

transits to minimize any impact caused 

by the temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: July 2, 2018.

Synopsis 

I. Introduction 

1. Removing regulatory barriers 

causing unnecessary costs or delay 

when carriers seek to transition from 

legacy networks and services to 

broadband networks and services is an 

important piece of our work to 

encourage deployment of nextgeneration networks and to close the 

digital divide. In this Report and Order, 

we continue to act on our commitment 

by further reforming regulatory 

processes that unnecessarily stand in 

the way of this important transition that 

benefits the American public. 

2. The actions we take today focus on 

further streamlining our processes by 

which carriers discontinue outdated 

services, eliminating unnecessary and 

burdensome or redundant requirements, 

and helping ensure that our network
