SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final 

rule adds Kosovo to the EAR for export 

licensing purposes. The United States 

recognized Kosovo as a sovereign state 

on February 18, 2008. Specifically, this 

rule amends the EAR as follows: 

1. In Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of 

the EAR, the Commerce Country Chart 

is amended by adding ‘‘Kosovo’’. 

2. In Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of 

the EAR (Country Groups), Country 

Group B is amended by adding 

‘‘Kosovo’’. 

3. Section 740.7(d)(1) of the EAR 

(Computer Tier 3 destinations) is 

amended by adding ‘‘Kosovo’’ for 

License Exception APP purposes. 

This rule does not amend Supplement 

No. 2 to part 745, ‘‘States Parties to the 

Convention on the Prohibition of the 

Development, Production, Stockpiling, 

and Use of Chemical Weapons and on 

Their Destruction,’’ to include Kosovo, 

because Kosovo is not currently a State 

Party to the Convention. 

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 most 

recently by the Notice of July 23, 2008, 

72 FR 43603 (July 25, 2008), 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 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. Send comments regarding this 

burden estimate or any other aspect of 

this collection of information, including 

suggestions for reducing the burden, to 

David Rostker, Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB), and to the 

Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of 

Industry and Security, Department of 

Commerce, as indicated in the 

ADDRESSES section of this rule. 

3. This rule does not contain policies 

with Federalism implications as this 

term is defined under 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 and 

foreign affairs function of the United 

States (see 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, 

no other law requires that a notice of 


erowe on PROD1PC64 with RULES
51218 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 2, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

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. 

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 Jeffery Lynch, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, Bureau of 

Industry and Security, Regulatory Policy 

Division, 14th St. & Pennsylvania 

Avenue, NW., Room 2705, Washington, 

DC 20230.
