Export and Reexport License 

Requirements for Certain Microwave 

and Millimeter Wave Electronic 

Components: Correction 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule: Correction. 

SUMMARY: This correction adds a 

compliance date of February 9, 2012, to 

a final rule published on January 9, 

2012 (77 FR 1017). That final rule 

imposed a license requirement on 

exports and reexports to all destinations 

other than Canada of two types of 

microwave and millimeter wave 

electronic components. The two 

components are packaged high electron 

mobility transistors and packaged 

microwave ‘‘monolithic integrated 

circuits’’ power amplifiers that meet 

certain criteria with respect to frequency 

range, size and output power. BIS is 

publishing this correction to make sure 

exporters and reexporters have 

sufficient time to comply with the rule. 

DATES: Effective date: January 24, 2012. 

Compliance date: All exports and 

reexports on or after February 9, 2012, 

for which the rule published at 77 FR 

1017, January 9, 2012, creates a new 

license requirement must be in 

compliance with the terms of that rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 9, 2012, BIS published a final 

rule imposing a license requirement on 

exports and reexports to all destinations 

other than Canada of two types of 

microwave and millimeter wave 

electronic components (77 FR 1017, 

January 9, 2012, FR Doc. 2012–135). The 

two components are packaged high 

electron mobility transistors (HEMT) 

and packaged microwave ‘‘monolithic 

integrated circuits’’ (MMIC) power 

amplifiers that meet certain criteria with 

respect to frequency range, size and 

output power. That rule was effective 

upon publication and did not provide 

for any delay in compliance. This 

correction adds a compliance date of 

February 9, 2012, to provide time for 

exporters and reexporters upon whom 

this rule imposes a new license 

requirement to apply for any necessary 

licenses. This correction makes no other 

changes to the rule.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Pennsylvania; Clean Vehicles Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the Commonwealth of 

Pennsylvania. This SIP revision 

contains Pennsylvania’s Clean Vehicle 

Program, which adopts California’s 

second generation low emission vehicle 

program for light-duty vehicles (LEV II). 

The Clean Air Act (CAA) contains 

specific authority allowing any state to 

adopt new motor vehicle emissions 

standards that are identical to 

California’s standards in lieu of 

applicable Federal standards. 

Pennsylvania has adopted a Clean 

Vehicle Program that incorporates by 

reference provisions of California’s LEV 

II rules and specifies a transition 

mechanism for compliance with these 

clean vehicle standards in 

Pennsylvania. EPA is approving this SIP 

revision, in accordance with the 

requirements of the CAA, which will 

help Pennsylvania to achieve and 

maintain attainment of the National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) 

for ozone. 

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is 

effective on February 23, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

Number EPA–R03–OAR–2011–0605. All 

documents in the docket are listed in 

the www.regulations.gov Web site.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Throughout this document, whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. On November 4, 2011 (76 FR 

68381), EPA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The 

NPR proposed approval of 

Pennsylvania’s Clean Vehicle Program 

rule, in which the Commonwealth 

adopted California’s Low Emission 

Vehicle Program (California LEV), under 

authority of section 177 of the CAA. The 

formal SIP Clean Vehicle SIP revision 

was submitted by Pennsylvania on May 

31, 2007. 

II. Summary of SIP Revision 

Pennsylvania adopted its revised 

Clean Vehicles Program rule and 

published it as a final rule in December 

9, 2006 edition of the Pennsylvania 

Bulletin (36 Pa.B. 7424). The Clean 

Vehicle Program rule was meant to 

formalize cessation of Pennsylvania’s 

participation of the National Low 

Emission Vehicle (NLEV) program. The 

Commonwealth had participated in the 

NLEV program prior to implementation 

by EPA of its second general Federal 

motor vehicle emissions standards 

under the 1990 CAA (i.e., Tier 2 

standards). By model year 2006, Federal 

Tier 2 standards had superseded prior 

NLEV standards, except where states 

had adopted California emission 

standards as an alternative to Federal 

emission standards, under authority 

granted under section 177 of the CAA. 

Pennsylvania had adopted California 

LEV program as a ‘‘backstop’’ to its 

NLEV program, to take effect upon the 

expiration of the NLEV program. 

Pennsylvania’s May 2007 Clean 

Vehicles SIP revision reiterated the 

Commonwealth’s participation in the 

California LEV program, updated its 

incorporation by reference to include 

the most recent version of California’s 

program, delayed the start date for the
