Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 210 / Monday, October 31, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 67059 

Municipal Airport, Sturgis, SD. 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 for Sturgis 

Municipal Airport, Sturgis, SD.

adding fifteen persons to the Entity List 

(Supplement No. 4 to Part 744) on the 

basis of section 744.11 of the EAR. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Entity List provides notice to the 

public that certain exports, reexports, 

and transfers (in-country) to parties 

identified on the Entity List require a 

license from the Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS), and that availability of 

license exceptions in such transactions 

is limited. Persons are placed on the 

Entity List on the basis of criteria set 

forth in certain sections of part 744 

(Control Policy: End-User and End-Use 

Based) of the EAR. 

The End-User Review Committee 

(ERC), composed of representatives of 

the Departments of Commerce (Chair), 

State, Defense, Energy and, where 

appropriate, the Treasury, makes all 

decisions regarding additions to, 

removals from or changes to the Entity 

List. The ERC makes all decisions to add 

an entry to the Entity List by majority 

vote, and all decisions to remove or 

modify an entry by unanimous vote. 

ERG Entity List Decisions 

Additions to the Entity List 

The ERC made a determination to add 

fifteen persons under twenty-five entries 

to the Entity List on the basis of section 

744.11 (License Requirements that 

Apply to Entities Acting Contrary to the 

National Security or Foreign Policy 

Interests of the United States) of the 

EAR. The twenty-five entries added to 

the Entity List consist of five new 

entries in China, seven new entries in 

Hong Kong, three new entries in Iran, 

and ten new entries in Singapore. Ten 

of the entries are for persons with 

addresses in more than one of the 

countries (Iran, China, Hong Kong, and 

Singapore) at issue. 

The ERC reviewed the criteria for 

revising the Entity List (section 

744.11(b) of the EAR) in making the 

determination to add these persons to 

the Entity List. These criteria establish 

how to add to the Entity List those 

entities that, based on specific and 

articulable facts there is reasonable 

cause to believe, have been involved, 

are involved, or pose a significant risk 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

67060 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 210 / Monday, October 31, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

of being or becoming involved in 

activities that are contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States, and those 

acting on behalf of such entities. 

(section 744.11 of the EAR). Paragraphs 

(b)(1)–(b)(5) of section 744.11 of the 

EAR (detailed below) include an 

illustrative list of activities that could be 

contrary to the national security or 

foreign policy interests of the United 

States. The persons being added to the 

Entity List under this rule have been 

determined by the ERC to be involved 

in activities that could be contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. 

Examples of the specific activities 

these persons were involved in that are 

contrary to the national security or 

foreign policy interests of the United 

States pursuant to section 744.11 are, as 

follows: Eight of the fifteen persons are 

being added based on evidence that they 

have engaged in actions that could 

enhance the military capability of Iran, 

a country designated by the U.S. 

Secretary of State as having repeatedly 

provided support for acts of 

international terrorism, and of militant 

insurgents operating in Iraq against the 

U.S. military. These persons are also 

added because their overall conduct 

poses a risk of ongoing EAR violations. 

These persons are as follows: Corezing 

International, Hia Soo Gan Benson, 

Hossein Ahmad Larijani, Lim Kow 

Seng, Lim Yong Nam, NEL Electronics 

Pte Ltd, Paya Electronic Complex, and 

Wong Yuh Lan. These parties 

participate in a complex and layered 

network that has engaged in 

complicated and long-term schemes to 

divert U.S.-origin items through 

deceptive actions, including shifting/ 

circuitous routes and false or omitted 

information on shipping 

documentation, and to conceal these 

deceptive activities. The parties, while 

not all under the same ownership and 

management, are interrelated and work 

toward the same objective: Obtaining 

items that are subject to the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) for 

shipment to Iran and/or to China 

without the required Department of 

Commerce licenses, and obtaining items 

subject to the International Traffic in 

Arms Regulations (ITAR), which require 

licenses to all foreign destinations, for 

shipment without license. Among other 

activities, this procurement network 

arranged for the transhipment of EARcontrolled radio frequency modules 

from the United States through 

Singapore to Iran, for use in Improvised 

Explosive Devices (IED) found in Iraq. 

The procurement network also obtained 

ITAR-controlled antennas, designed for 

use in military radars and aircraft, and 

exported them to Singapore and Hong 

Kong. Additionally, the procurement 

network transhipped a range of U.S.- 

origin goods, including acrylic polymers 

and fiberglass tape, through Hong Kong 

to Iran. In the case of many of the eight 

individuals, they engaged in the 

described activities despite information 

indicating that they had knowledge of 

U.S. export control laws and 

regulations. 

The remaining seven persons (Action 

Global, Amaze International, Luo Jie, 

OEM Hub Co Ltd., Parto System Tehran, 

Surftech Electronics, and Zhou 

Zhenyong) are being added based on 

evidence that they have engaged in 

actions facilitating the activities of the 

procurement network, as described in 

the paragraph above. Specific examples 

of each of the eight persons’ activities 

are described in the paragraphs below. 

Action Global, Amaze International 

and OEM Hub Co., Ltd., all Hong Kong 

entities, are being added based on 

specific information indicating that they 

serve as front companies for other 

entities named in this rule, including 

Corezing International, and therefore 

pose an imminent risk of violating the 

EAR. Action Global is also being added 

on the basis of information indicating 

that it was involved with the diversion 

of U.S.- origin items from Hong Kong to 

Iran. 

Luo Jie, a Chinese national and a 

director of Corezing International, 

Action Global and Amaze International, 

is being added on the basis of 

information indicating that she was 

specifically involved in the 

procurement and attempted 

procurement of U.S. power amplifiers 

intended for end-users in China, as well 

as in the diversion of various U.S.-origin 

goods through Hong Kong to Iran. Luo’s 

involvement in these activities is in 

contrast to her demonstrated knowledge 

of U.S. export control laws and 

regulations. 

Parto Systems Tehran, an Iranian 

freight forwarder, is being added based 

on information indicating that it was 

involved in the diversion of U.S.-origin 

items to Iran. BIS also has information 

indicating that Parto Systems Tehran is 

closely associated with Hossein Ahmad 

Larijani. 

Surftech Electronics, a Singapore 

corporation established by Hia Soo Gan 

Benson, is co-located with Corezing 

International. BIS has information 

indicating that Surftech Electronics 

sought to purchase certain U.S.-origin 

items for shipment to Iran, a country 

designated by the U.S. Secretary of State 

as having repeatedly provided support 

for acts of international terrorism. The 

illustrative criteria included in section 

744.11 under paragraph (b)(2) for adding 

persons to the Entity List includes 

actions that could enhance the military 

capability of, or the ability to support 

terrorism of governments that have been 

designated by the Secretary of State as 

having repeatedly provided support for 

acts of international terrorism. 

Zhou Zhenyong, who is believed to be 

a Chinese national or from Hong Kong 

and a director of Corezing International, 

is being added based on information 

that he was specifically involved in the 

procurement and attempted 

procurement of U.S.-origin items, 

including U.S.-origin munitions items 

destined for end-users in China and/or 

Iran, and contrary to the national 

security or foreign policy interests of the 

United States. BIS’s information 

indicates that Zhou engaged in these 

activities despite knowledge of U.S. 

export control laws and regulations. 

This rule implements the decision of 

the ERC to add fifteen persons under 

twenty-five entries to the Entity List on 

the basis of section 744.11 of the EAR. 

For all of the fifteen persons under 

twenty-five entries added to the Entity 

List, the ERC specified a license 

requirement for all items subject to the 

EAR and established a license 

application review policy of a 

presumption of denial. A BIS license is 

required to export, reexport or transfer 

(in-country) any item subject to the EAR 

to any of the persons listed above and 

described below in further detail, 

including any transaction in which any 

of the listed persons will act as 

purchaser, intermediate consignee, 

ultimate consignee, or end-user of the 

items. This listing of these persons also 

prohibits the use of license exceptions 

(see part 740 of the EAR) for exports, 

reexports and transfers (in-country) of 

items subject to the EAR involving such 

persons. 

Specifically, this rule adds the 

following fifteen persons under twentyfive entries to the Entity List:

necessary, to select regulatory 

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, of 

reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, 

and of promoting flexibility. 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 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 regulation 

involves collections previously 

approved by the OMB under control 

numbers 0694–0088, ‘‘Multi-Purpose 

Application,’’ which carries a burden 

hour estimate of 43.8 minutes for a 

manual or electronic submission. Total 

burden hours associated with the PRA 

and OMB control number 0694–0088 

are not expected to increase as a result 

of this rule. You may send comments 

regarding the collection of information 

associated with this rule, including 

suggestions for reducing the burden, to 

Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), by 

email to Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.

eop.gov, or by fax to (202) 395–7285. 

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 or foreign 

affairs function of the United States. (see 

5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS implements this 

rule to prevent items from being 

exported, reexported or transferred (in 

country) to the persons being added to 

the Entity List. If this rule were delayed 

to allow for notice and comment and a 

delay in effective date, then entities 

being added to the Entity List by this 

action would continue to be able to 

receive items without a license and to 

conduct activities contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. Further, 

no other law requires that a notice of 

proposed rulemaking and an 

opportunity for public comment be 

given for this rule. Because a notice of 

proposed rulemaking and an 

opportunity for public comment are not 

required to be given for this rule 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.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Iowa: 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration; 

Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule 

Revision 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is approving an Iowa 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision relating to regulation of 

Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) under Iowa’s 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

(PSD) program. This revision was 

submitted by the Iowa Department of 

Natural Resources (IDNR) to EPA on 

December 22, 2010. It is designed to 

align Iowa’s regulations with the ‘‘PSD 

and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring 

Final Rule’’ published June 3, 2010, in 

the Federal Register. EPA is approving 

the revision because the Agency has 

determined that the SIP revision, 

already adopted by Iowa as a final 

effective rule, is in accordance with the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA 

regulations regarding PSD permitting for 

GHGs. 

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule 

will be effective November 30, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket 

Identification No. EPA–R07–OAR– 

2011–0470. All documents in the docket 

are listed on the http:// 

www.regulations.gov index. Although

I. What final action is EPA taking in 

this final rule? 

On December 22, 2010, IDNR 

submitted a request to EPA to approve 

revisions to the State’s SIP and Title V 

program to incorporate recent rule 

amendments adopted by the Iowa 

Environmental Protection Commission. 

These amendments establish thresholds 

for GHG emissions in Iowa’s PSD and 

Title V regulations at the same 

emissions thresholds and in the same 

time-frames as those specified by EPA 

in the ‘‘PSD and Title V Greenhouse Gas 

Tailoring Final Rule’’ (75 FR 31514), 

hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Tailoring 

Rule,’’ ensuring that smaller GHG 

sources emitting less than these 

thresholds will not be subject to 

permitting requirements for GHGs that 

they emit. The amendments to the SIP 

clarify the applicable thresholds in the 

Iowa SIP, address the flaw discussed in 

the ‘‘Limitation of Approval of 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

Provisions Concerning Greenhouse Gas 

Emitting-Sources in State 

Implementation Plans Final Rule,’’ 75 

FR 82536 (December 30, 2010) (the 

‘‘PSD SIP Narrowing Rule’’), and 

incorporate state rule changes adopted 

at the state level into the Federallyapproved SIP. 

On August 11, 2011, EPA published a 

proposed rulemaking to approve Iowa’s 

SIP revision. See 76 FR 49708. EPA did 

not receive any public comments on this 

proposal. In this final rule, pursuant to 

section 110 of the CAA, EPA is 

approving these revisions into the Iowa 

SIP.1

II. What is the background for the PSD 

SIP approval by EPA in this final rule? 

This section briefly summarizes EPA’s 

recent GHG-related actions that provide 

the background for this final action. 

More detailed discussion of the 

background is found in the preambles 

for those actions. In particular, the 

background is contained in what we call 

the PSD SIP Narrowing Rule,2 and in the 

preambles to the actions cited therein. 

A. GHG-Related Actions 

EPA has recently undertaken a series 

of actions pertaining to the regulation of 

GHGs that, although for the most part 

distinct from one another, establish the 

overall framework for this final action 

on the Iowa SIP. Four of these actions 

include, as they are commonly called, 

the ‘‘Endangerment Finding’’ and 

‘‘Cause or Contribute Finding,’’ which 

EPA issued in a single final action,3 the 

‘‘Johnson Memo Reconsideration,’’ 4 the 

‘‘Light-Duty Vehicle Rule,’’ 5 and the 

‘‘Tailoring Rule.’’ Taken together and in 

conjunction with the CAA, these actions 

established regulatory requirements for 

GHGs emitted from new motor vehicles 

and new motor vehicle engines; 

determined that such regulations, when 

they took effect on January 2, 2011, 

subjected GHGs emitted from stationary 

sources to PSD requirements; and 

limited the applicability of PSD 

requirements to GHG sources on a 

phased-in basis. EPA took this last 

action in the Tailoring Rule, which, 

more specifically, established 

appropriate GHG emission thresholds 

for determining the applicability of PSD 

requirements to GHG-emitting sources. 

In many states, such as Iowa, PSD is 

implemented through the SIP and so in 

December 2010, EPA promulgated 

several rules to implement the new GHG 

PSD SIP program. Recognizing that 

some states had approved SIP PSD 

programs that did not apply PSD to
