Regulations concerning exports and sales prohibited by United Nations Security Council embargoes are amended to add a list of the countries subject to such United Nations embargoes. United Nations Arms Embargoes include, but are not necessarily limited to the following countries: Cote d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Liberia, North Korea, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, and Sudan. Regulatory Analysis and Notices Administrative Procedure Act This amendment involves a foreign affairs function of the United States and, therefore, is not subject to the procedures required by 5 U.S.C. 553 and 554. Regulatory Flexibility Act This rule does not require analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995 This rule does not require analysis under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 This amendment has been found not to be a major rule within the meaning of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. It will not have substantial direct effects on the States, the relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Executive Orders 12372 and 13132 It is determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant application of the consultation provisions of Executive Orders 12372 and 13132. Executive Order 12866 This amendment is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866, but has been reviewed internally by the Department of State to ensure consistency with the purposes thereof. Paperwork Reduction Act This rule does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35. Start List of Subjects
