[Public Notice: 8942]
 AGENCY: Department of State.
 ACTION: Final rule, correction.
 SUMMARY: On May 24, 2013, the Department of State published a rule (78 FR 31444) proposing to amend the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) by revising Category XV of the U.S Munitions List (USML) as part of the President's Export Control Reform (ECR) effort. After review of comments to the proposed rule, on May 13, 2014, the Department published an interim final rule that allowed a final comment period until June 27, 2014. The Department is now making final the interim final rule and correcting the interim final rule that appeared in the 
                        **Federal Register**
                         of May 13, 2014.
 DATES: This rule is effective November 10, 2014.

                         ATTN: Regulatory Change, Category XV Final Rule.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department provides the following modification and corrections to the rule, “Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Revision of U.S. Munitions List Category XV,” published on May 13, 2014, and effective on November 10, 2014 (79 FR 27180). The changes in this rule are meant to clarify the regulation by revising certain text and providing conforming updates to Supplement No. 1 to part 126, taking into account revisions made to the USML categories in the rule published on May 13, 2014. Additionally, supplement No. 1 to part 126 is amended by adding a note regarding the use of the exemptions for transactions that require congressional notification (Note 17) due to confusion as to when the exemptions may be used in furtherance of properly notified agreements. Pursuant to ECR, the Department of Commerce has been publishing revisions to the Export Administration Regulations, including various revisions to the Commerce Control List (CCL). Revision of the USML and CCL are coordinated so there is uninterrupted regulatory coverage for items moving from the jurisdiction of the Department of State to that of the Department of Commerce. The Department of Commerce's companion to this notice (
                    *see*
                     “Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations: Control of Spacecraft Systems and Related Items That the President Determines No Longer Warrant Control Under the United States Munitions List,” 79 FR 27418) is also published in this edition of the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    . The following modifications and corrections are made to the rule, FR Doc. 2014-10806, published on May 13, 2014 (79 FR 27180): PART 121 [CORRECTED] § 121.1
