[Docket No. PF14-14-000]

Rover Pipeline LLC, Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for the Planned Rover Pipeline Project, Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Meetings

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) that
will discuss the environmental impacts of the planned Rover Pipeline
Project (Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by
Rover Pipeline LLC (Rover) in multiple counties in Michigan, Ohio, West
Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The Commission will use this EIS in its
decision-making process to determine whether the Project is in the
public convenience and necessity.
    This notice, which is being sent to the Commission's current
environmental mailing list for the Project, announces the opening of
the scoping process that will be used to gather input about the Project
from the public and other interested stakeholders. State and local
government representatives should notify their constituents about this
process and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
Scoping comments will help the Commission staff determine what issues
will need to be evaluated in the EIS. Please note that the scoping
period will close on December 18, 2014.
    Comments about the Project may be submitted in written form or
verbally. The Public Participation section of this notice describes how
to submit written comments. Verbal comments can be given at the public
scoping meetings to be held in the Project area as scheduled below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of these scoping meetings is to provide the public an
opportunity to learn more about the Commission's environmental review
process, and to verbally comment on the Project. Each scoping meeting
will start at 6:00 p.m. and representatives from Rover will be present
one hour prior to each scoping meeting to answer questions about the
Project. Affected landowners and other interested parties are
encouraged to attend the scoping meetings and to give their comments on
the issues they believe should be addressed in the EIS. A transcript of
each meeting will be added to the Commission's administrative record to
ensure that your comments are accurately recorded.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the planned pipeline facilities. The
company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement.
However, if the Commission approves the Project, that approval conveys
with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an agreement, a condemnation proceeding
could be initiated where compensation would be determined in accordance
with state law.
    The ``For Citizens'' section of the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov)
provides more information about the FERC and the environmental review
process. This section also includes information about getting involved
in FERC jurisdictional projects, and a citizens' guide entitled ``An
Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need to Know?''
This guide addresses a number of frequently asked questions, including
the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's
proceedings.

Summary of the Planned Project

    Rover plans to use about 621 miles of operational right-of-way to
construct and operate about 820 miles of interstate natural gas
transmission pipeline and associated facilities in Michigan, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The Project would originate near Cadiz
in Harrison County, Ohio; would extend about 210 miles west to an
interconnection with the Mid-west Hub; and then head northeast for
about 209 miles to the Canadian/United States Border. The remaining 199
miles would be associated with eight supply laterals to service areas
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Specifically, the Project
would consist of the following components:

 Eight 24-, 30-, 36-, and 42-inch-diameter pipeline supply
laterals (199.3 miles), in Washington County, Pennsylvania; Doddridge,
Hancock, Tyler, and Wetzel Counties, West Virginia; and Belmont,
Carroll, Harrison, Jefferson, Marshall, Monroe, and Noble Counties,
Ohio;
 two collocated 42-inch-diameter pipelines, Mainline A (209.5
miles) and Mainline B (202.1 miles), in Ashland, Carroll, Crawford,
Defiance, Hancock, Harrison, Henry, Richland, Seneca, Stark,
Tuscarawas, Wayne, and Wood Counties, Ohio;
 one 42-inch-diameter pipeline, Market Segment (209.4 miles),
in Defiance, Fulton, and Henry Counties, Ohio; and Genesee, Lapeer,
Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Shiawassee, St. Clair, and
Washtenaw Counties, Michigan;
 ten new compressor stations (CS):
    [cir] Cadiz CS in Harrison County, Ohio;
    [cir] Clarington CS in Monroe County, Ohio;
    [cir] Seneca CS in Noble County, Ohio;
    [cir] Burgettstown CS in Washington County, Pennsylvania;
    [cir] Majorsville CS in Marshall County, West Virginia;
    [cir] Sherwood CS in Doddridge County, West Virginia;
    [cir] Defiance CS in Defiance County, Ohio;
    [cir] Mainline CS 1 in Carroll County, Ohio;
    [cir] Mainline CS 2 in Wayne County, Ohio;
    [cir] Mainline CS 3 in Crawford County, Ohio; and
 four new metering and regulating stations in Doddridge County,
West Virginia; Monroe County, Ohio; and Washtenaw and Shiawassee
Counties, Michigan.

    The general location of the Project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the Additional Information section
at the end of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the planned Project facilities would disturb about
12,147 acres of land. The typical construction right-of-way for
pipeline facilities would vary between 125- and 150-feet-wide in
uplands and 75- and 95-feet-wide in wetlands, with additional workspace
needed in some locations due to site-specific conditions and
activities. Following construction, approximately 4,567 acres of land
would be retained for permanent operation of the facilities. Land
affected by construction but not required for operation would generally
be allowed to revert to former uses.

The EIS Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity under Section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act. NEPA also requires us \2\ to discover and address
concerns the public may have about proposals. This discovery process is
commonly referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of the scoping
process is to focus the analysis in the EIS on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to be addressed in the EIS. All
comments received will be considered during the preparation of the EIS,
and addressed as appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EIS we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned Project under these
general headings:

 Geology and soils;
 water resources, including surface waters and groundwater;
 wetlands;
 vegetation, fisheries, and wildlife;
 threatened and endangered species;
 land use;
 socioeconomics;
 cultural resources;
 air quality and noise;
 public safety and reliability; and
 cumulative impacts.

    We will also evaluate alternatives to the Project, Project
components, pipeline routes, and aboveground facility locations; and
make recommendations on how to avoid or minimize impacts on the various
resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing process.
The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early involvement
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before
the FERC receives an application. As part of our pre-filing review, we
have begun to contact federal and state agencies to discuss their
involvement in the scoping process and the preparation of the EIS.
    The EIS will present our independent analysis of the issues. We
will publish and distribute a draft EIS for public comment. After the
comment period, we will consider all timely comments and revise the
document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. To ensure we have
the opportunity to consider and address your comments, please carefully
follow the instructions in the Public Participation section below.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues
related to the Project to formally cooperate with us in the preparation
of the EIS.\3\ Agencies that would like to request cooperating agency
status should follow the instructions for filing comments provided
under the Public Participation section of this notice. Currently, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(COE), and Ohio EPA have expressed their intent to participate as
cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EIS to satisfy their
NEPA responsibilities related to this Project. The COE has
jurisdictional authority pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act, which governs the discharge of dredged or fill material into
waters of the United States, and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors
Act, which regulates any work or structures that potentially affect the
navigability of a waterway.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Sec.  1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia State Historic
Preservation Offices (SHPOs), and to solicit their views and those of
other government agencies, interested Indian tribes, and the public on
the Project's potential effects on historic properties.\4\ We will
define the Project-specific Area of Potential Effects (APE) in
consultation with the SHPOs as the Project develops. On natural gas
facility projects, the APE at a minimum encompasses all areas subject
to ground disturbance (examples include the construction right-of-way,
contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor stations, meter stations, and
access roads). Our EIS for the Project will document our findings on
the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of
consultations under Section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    Based on our preliminary review of the Project; information
provided by Rover; and public comments filed in the Commission's
administrative record and submitted to staff at the applicant-sponsored
open houses; we have identified numerous issues that we think deserve
attention. This preliminary list of issues may change based on your
comments and our ongoing environmental analysis. These issues are:

 Purpose and need for the Project;
 impacts of clearing forested areas and other vegetation;
 impacts on water resources including sensitive springs,
groundwater, and wetlands;
 impacts on land use including agricultural lands and
associated drainage systems;
 the use of eminent domain to obtain Project easements;
 impacts on property values and recreational resources;
 impacts from construction noise;
 pipeline integrity and public safety;
 alternatives; and
 cumulative impacts.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your comments about
the Project. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental
impacts of the Project, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid
or lessen these environmental impacts. The more specific your comments,
the more useful they will be. To ensure that your comments are
considered in a timely manner and properly recorded, please send your
comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or
before December 18, 2014.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please refer to the
Project docket number (PF14-14-000) with your submission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert
staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature located on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the
Documents and Filings heading. This is an easy method for interested
persons to submit brief, text-only comments on a Project;
    (2) You can also file your comments electronically using the
eFiling feature located on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov)
under the Documents and Filings heading. With eFiling, you can provide
comments in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking
on ``eRegister.'' You must select the type of filing you are making. If

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries

and newspapers. This list also includes all affected landowners (as
defined in the Commission's regulations) who are potential right-of-way
grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for Project purposes,
or who own homes within certain distances of aboveground facilities,
and anyone who has submitted comments on the Project in the
Commission's administrative record. We will update the environmental
mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the
information related to this environmental review to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially
affected by the planned Project.
    Copies of the draft EIS will be sent to the environmental mailing
list for review and comment. If you would prefer to receive a paper
copy of the EIS instead of the compact disc version or if you would
like to remove your name from the mailing list, please return the
attached Information Request (appendix 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once Rover files an application with the Commission, you may want
to become an ``intervenor,'' which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the
process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard
by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a
request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor can be
found under the ``Getting Involved'' heading of the ``For Citizens''
section on the FERC Web site. Please note that the Commission will not
accept requests for intervenor status at this time. You must wait until
the Commission receives a formal application for the Project.

Additional Information

    Additional information about the Project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs at (866) 208-FERC or on the
FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link (http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp). Click on the eLibrary link,
click on ``General Search,'' and enter the docket number, excluding the
last three digits (PF14-14). Be sure you have selected an appropriate

Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations Based Upon a
Systematic Review of the Commerce Control List: Additional Changes

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
to make revisions to the EAR as a result of a systematic review of the
Commerce Control List (CCL) that was conducted by the Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS). This rule is the third phase of the
regulatory implementation of the results of a review of the CCL that
was conducted by BIS starting in 2007. The BIS CCL review benefited
from input received from BIS's Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) and
comments that were received from the interested public in response to
the publication of a BIS notice of inquiry on July 17, 2007.
    The revisions in this rule include clarifications to existing
controls; eliminating redundant or outdated controls; and establishing
more focused and rationalized controls. This rule also makes CCL
related changes to other parts of the EAR, including CCL related
definitions and license exceptions.

DATES: This rule is effective: June 28, 2010. Although there is no
formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome
on a continuing basis.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by RIN 0694-AE56, by any
of the following methods:
    E-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Include ``RIN 0694-AE56'' in
the subject line of the message.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This rule amends the EAR to make various revisions as a result of a
systematic review of the Commerce Control List (CCL) that was conducted
by BIS. This rule is the third phase of the regulatory implementation
of the results of that systematic review of the CCL that was conducted
by BIS beginning in 2007. The CCL review benefited from input received
from BIS's Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) and public comments
received in response to a notice of inquiry (July 17, 2007, 72 FR
39052).
    On April 18, 2008, BIS published the first phase of the regulatory
implementation of the CCL review in a rule titled, ``Technical
Corrections to the Export Administration Regulations based upon a
Systematic Review of the CCL'' (73 FR 21035). The first CCL review rule
made needed technical corrections and clarifications to the CCL. The
second CCL review rule made substantive revisions to the EAR, including
the CCL (October 6, 2008, 73 FR 58033).
    The revisions to the CCL in this third CCL review rule are divided
into three types of revisions: (I) Clarifications to Existing Controls;
(II) Eliminating Redundant or Outdated Controls; and (III) Establishing
More Focused and Rationalized Controls. The changes in this third CCL
review rule are typically additional changes from the 2007 review that
required further U.S. Government review and/or interagency discussions
before they could be implemented. This rule also makes certain
revisions to other parts of the EAR related to the CCL that were
recommended during the 2007 CCL review.
    As a part of the implementation phase of the CCL review, BIS has
also taken other non-regulatory actions to improve the public's
understanding of the CCL. These actions have involved publishing
certain advisory opinions and creating new web guidance to provide
greater clarity to exporters and reexporters regarding existing
provisions of the CCL. BIS has also created a new process whereby it
has stated its intention to conduct similar types of systematic reviews
of the CCL in the future in order to continuously improve the CCL.
    This rule makes the following revisions to the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR):
    In Sec.  734.4(b)(1), this rule adds paragraph (a)(9) of ECCN 5A002
to the list of 5A002 classified commodities that are subject to the
special de minimis requirements for certain encryption items. ECCN
5A002.a.9 is controlled for Encryption Items (EI) reasons, so it should
be included in paragraph (b)(1) because that paragraph is intended to
include all of the ``items'' paragraphs of 5A002 that are controlled
for EI reasons.
    In Sec.  734.4 (De minimis U.S. content) paragraph (a)(4) and Sec.
742.14 (Significant items: hot section technology for the development,

production or overhaul of commercial aircraft engines, components and
systems) paragraph (a), this rule updates the provisions in these two
sections that apply to ``items'' controlled for Significant Items (SI)
reasons in ECCN 9E003 to conform these two sections to the intended
paragraphs of ECCN 9E003 (i.e., 9E003.a.1 through a.10 and h). These
changes are needed because when 9E003 was revised the related
provisions in Sec. Sec.  734.4(a)(4) and 742.14(a) were not updated
(July 12, 2000, 65 FR 43130). This rule updates those provisions to
conform to the updates made to the items controlled under 9E003. This
rule also makes changes to the SI reason for control under 9E003 to
conform that reason for control to the SI items controlled under that
ECCN entry, as described below.
    In Sec.  740.7 (Computers (APP)) under paragraph
(b)(2)(i)(Computers and software), this rule removes and reserves this
paragraph because the restrictions refer to a supplement of the EAR
that is currently reserved. Supplement No. 3 to part 742 was removed
and reserved in the EAR on April 24, 2006 (71 FR 20876). Paragraph
(b)(2)(i) is also reserved because restricting physical access to areas
housing the computer is no longer necessary in protecting U.S. export
control interests in a distributed computing environment.
    Also in Sec.  740.7, this rule revises the Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT)
level in paragraphs (c)(3)(ii) from 0.1 WT to 0.5 WT. This change is
being made to address advances in technology levels that justify an
adjustment for what level of ``development'' and ``production''
technology and source code should be authorized under these provisions
of License Exception APP.
    In Sec.  772.1 (Definitions of terms as used in the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR)), this rule revises the definition of
``reasons for control'' to conform that definition to the reasons for
control listed in Sec.  738.2(d)(2)(i)(A) of the EAR. Specifically,
this rule removes the control ``High Performance Computers (XP)''
because that control is no longer in the EAR, and adds five reasons for
control that were in the EAR but were not included in the ``reasons for
control'' definition prior to this rule being published. Specifically,
this rule adds ``Chemical Weapons Convention (CW)'', ``Encryption Items
(EI)'', ``Firearms Convention (FC)'', ``Significant Items (SI)'', and
``Surreptitious Listening (SL)'' to the ``reasons for control''
definition.
    This rule makes various substantive revisions to the CCL, divided
below into three types of revisions: (I) Clarifications to Existing
Controls; (II) Eliminating Redundant or Outdated Controls; and (III)
Establishing More Focused and Rationalized Controls.

I. Clarifications to Existing Controls

    1. Revisions to the ``headings'' of existing CCL entries.
    This rule makes revisions to the headings of three (3) CCL entries:
0E018, 4E992 and 4E993 to clarify the items controlled under those CCL
entries.
    ECCN 0E018 is amended by removing the phrase ``0A018.a through
0A018.c'' and replacing that with ``0A018'' for consistency with the
International Munitions List (IML) 22.
    ECCNs 4E992 and 4E993 are amended by revising the headings to
conform to the removal of ECCNs 4B994 and 4C994 from the CCL. The
changes in the headings of ECCNs 4E992 and 4E993 remove references to
``technology'' applicable to the ECCNs 4B994 and 4C994 that are removed
from the CCL with this rule, as described in the next two paragraphs.
The removal of ECCNs 4B994 and 4C994 are described below under the
discussion on ``Eliminating Redundant or Outdated Controls.''
    ECCN 4E992 is amended by revising the heading to remove the
reference to 4B994 and materials controlled by 4C994. The heading will
be revised to specify the technology controlled under this ECCN entry
is ``technology'' other than that controlled in 4E001 for the
``development,'' ``production,'' or ``use'' of equipment controlled by
4A994, or ``software'' controlled by 4D993 or 4D994.
    ECCN 4E993 is amended by revising the heading to remove the
reference to technology required for the development or production of
graphic accelerators and magnetic disk drives. The heading is being
revised to specify the technology controlled under this ECCN entry is
``technology'' for the ``development'' or ``production'' of equipment
for ``multi-data stream processing.'' As described below, this rule
also revises the ``items'' paragraph in the List of Items of controlled
to conform to this change to the heading.
    2. Revisions to ``Items'' paragraphs in CCL entries. This rule
makes revisions to the ``Items'' paragraphs under two (2) CCL entries,
4E993 and 9A991, to provide greater clarity regarding the items
controlled under those CCL entries. Specifically, these revisions
include the following:
    ECCN 4E993 is amended by removing the ``items'' paragraph (a), (b)
and (c) and replacing it with a sentence stating, ``The list of items
controlled is contained in the ECCN heading.'' As described above, the
technology described in paragraphs (a) and (c) is being removed from
this entry, and the only items that this entry will now control are
listed in the entry's heading.
    ECCN 9A991 is amended by making two clarifications. First, this
rule revises ``items'' paragraph (b) to remove the word ``and'' because
this word is not needed. Second, this rule amends the Note to paragraph
(c) of the ``items'' paragraph, to specify that for aero gas turbine
engines that are destined for use in civil ``aircraft'' and have been
in use in bona fide civil ``aircraft'' for more than eight years, such
engines are controlled under 9A991.d. This is not a change in the
control parameter, but rather a clarification regarding the original
intent of that Note to paragraph (c).
    3. Clarifications to ``Items'' paragraphs to conform to
multilateral regimes. This action revises the ``items'' paragraphs in
two (2) CCL entries, 8A018 and 9A018, to clarify what items are
controlled under those entries and to better conform those entries to
the language used in multilateral control lists, such as the IML.
    ECCN 8A018 is amended by revising paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2),
(b)(3), (b)(4) and (b)(5) of the ``Items'' paragraph, to conform to IML
9.b.3, 9.d and b.1-4, respectively. Specifically, under paragraph
(b)(1), this rule adds the phrase ``and specially designed components
therefor'' to conform to IML 9.b.1. Under paragraph (b)(2), this rule
adds the phrase ``and specially designed components therefor'' to
conform to IML 9.b.2. Under paragraph (b)(3), this rule revises the
``items'' paragraph to specify that the commodities controlled under
this paragraph are ``nonmagnetic diesel engines, 50 hp and over,
specially designed for military purposes with nonmagnetic content in
excess of 75 percent of total mass and specially designed components
therefor.'' This change is being made to conform to IML 9.b.2.
Paragraph (b)(5) is removed from the CCL entry because the components,
parts, accessories, and attachments for the above are now controlled
under paragraphs (b)(1)-(b)(4) with the publication of this rule. This
change is being made to conform to the IML 9 portion that was moved to
(b)(1)-(b)(4) of the ``items'' paragraph of this CCL entry.
    ECCN 9A018 is amended by revising paragraphs (c) and (d) of the
``items'' paragraphs to clarify the items controlled under this CCL
entry. Specifically, under paragraph (c) this rule adds quotes around
the term ``aircraft'' and removes the phrase ``and helicopters,'' to
conform to IML 10.f. Under paragraph (d), this rule adds quotes around
the term ``aircraft'' and

removes the term ``helicopter'' to conform to IML 10.f. This rule also
removes the reference to helicopters under paragraphs (c) and (d)
because the definition of ``aircraft'' includes helicopters, so
helicopters do not need to be specifically identified in the control
parameter. This rule also removes ``parts, attachments'' under
paragraph (f) to conform to IML 14.
    4. Other assorted clarifications to existing controls.
    ECCN 4A003 is amended by making a correction in the Anti-Terrorism
(AT) control in the License Requirements section of this ECCN. This
correction is made to conform to a change made on October 6, 2008 (73
FR 58040) in the Adjusted Peak Performance (APP) level in ECCN 4A994.
To conform to the October 2008 change, this rule updates the AT control
cross reference in the License Requirements section of ECCN 4A003 that
refers to the ``Adjusted Peak Performance'' level in 4A994.
Specifically, this rule corrects the AT control cross reference to
inform the public to ``refer to 4A994 for controls on `digital
computer' with an APP > 0.0128 but <= to 0.75 WT).''
    This rule amends ECCN 4A994 by revising the Related Definitions
paragraph of the List of Items Controlled to read ``N/A'' because the
definition for ``two dimensional vector rate'' applied to items
controlled by ECCN 4A994.g, which was removed and reserved on October
6, 2008 (73 FR 58040).
    ECCN 5A001 is amended to revise the Technical Note (2) to 5A001.b.6
to remove the redundant phrase, ``samples of human voice and then
convert these.'' This same phrase only needs to be stated once in this
technical note, so this rule is removing the redundant phrasing.
    ECCN 7A008 is amended by revising the License Exceptions section by
removing ``TSR: N/A'' because this ECCN is not a technology or software
entry and adding License Exceptions ``GBS: N/A'' and ``LVS: N/A'' to
indicate these license exceptions are not eligible for this entry.
    ECCN 9E003 is amended by revising the SI control under the
``License Requirements'' section to conform the SI reason for control
to the hot section technology for the development, production or
overhaul of commercial aircraft engines, components and systems that
are currently controlled in the ``items'' paragraphs of ECCN 9E003
(i.e., 9E003.a.1 through a.10 and h). These changes are needed because
when the ``items'' paragraph of ECCN 9E003 was amended on July 12, 2000
(65 FR 43130), the conforming change to the SI reason for control in
that same ECCN entry was not updated. This rule updates this ECCN's SI
license requirement to conform to the previous updates made to ECCN
9E003. This rule also makes conforming changes to Sec. Sec.
734.4(a)(4) and 742.14(a) to conform to these same changes in 9E003, as
described above.

II. Eliminating Redundant or Outdated Controls

    ECCN 3A992 is amended by removing License Exception LVS eligibility
for Syria. Syria is not eligible to receive commodities authorized by
License Exception LVS under the EAR. This rule clarifies Syria's
ineligibility by revising the LVS paragraph in the License Exceptions
section of this ECCN to make it N/A.
    ECCNs 4B994 and 4C994 are removed from the CCL because storage
equipment previously controlled under ECCN 4A994 was removed from
control on October 8, 2008 (73 FR 58033). Because the storage equipment
is no longer controlled under 4A994, equipment for the ``development''
and ``production'' of magnetic and optical storage equipment no longer
needs to be controlled under ECCN 4B994. In addition, for the same
reason, materials specially formulated and required for the fabrication
of head/disk assemblies for controlled magnetic and magneto-optical
hard disk drives no longer needs to be controlled under ECCN 4C994. To
conform to the removal of ECCNs 4B994 and 4C994, this rule also makes
revisions to ECCNs 4E992 and 4E993 to remove references to
``technology'' applicable to these ECCNs 4B994 and 4C994 that are
removed from the CCL with this rule. The changes to ECCNs 4E992 and
4E993 are described above under the discussion on ``Revisions to the
`headings' of existing CCL entries.''
    ECCN 8A018 is amended by removing ``items'' paragraph (b)(5) to
conform to a change to the IML. The IML 9 control that was under
8A018.b.5, prior to the publication of this rule, has been moved to
paragraphs 8A018.b.1 through 8A018.b.4.

III. Establishing More Focused and Rationalized Controls

Changes for Greater Consistency in National Security, Regional
Stability and Encryption Licensing
    In Supplement No. 1 to part 738 (Commerce Country Chart), this rule
removes the license requirement for Regional Stability (RS 2) from
Austria, Finland, Ireland, Sweden and Switzerland (i.e., this rule
removes the ``X'' in the box in the RS 2 column for these five
destinations). This change is made to create more consistency in what
destinations require a license for RS column 2, NS column 2, and
countries listed in Supplement No. 3 to part 740 (License Exception ENC
Favorable Treatment Countries). Thirty-seven countries are in one of
these three groupings. Twenty-four of the thirty-seven are in all three
groupings (i.e., these destinations do not require a license for RS
column 2, NS column 2 and are listed in Supplement No. 3 to part 740).
Nine of these thirty-seven countries require a license for RS column 2.
Austria, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, and Switzerland all require a
license for RS column 2 even though these countries are in Supplement
No. 3 to Part 740 and do not require a license for NS column 2 reasons.
Because these five countries are the only five countries that are
listed in Supplement No. 3 to Part 740 and also do not require a
license for NS column 2 reasons, these countries were the most
appropriate destinations to remove the RS 2 license requirement from in
order to create greater uniformity in these license requirements. This
change is also made because Austria, Finland, Ireland, Sweden and
Switzerland are not countries that contribute to regional instability
that would be contrary to the foreign policy interests of the United
States.
    Removing the RS column 2 license requirement that applied to these
countries is consistent with the stated purpose of regional stability
controls in Sec.  742.6(b), which is to prevent ``export[s] or
reexport[s] that could contribute directly or indirectly to any
country's military capability in a manner that would alter or
destabilize a region's military balance contrary to the foreign policy
interests of the United States.'' This removal raises the number of
countries that are in all three groups from 24 to 29 and creates more
consistency in these EAR license requirements.
Savings Clause
    Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception
or export or reexport without a license (NLR) as a result of this
regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden
aboard an exporting or reexporting carrier, or en route aboard a
carrier to a port of export or reexport, on June 28, 2010, pursuant to
actual orders for export or reexport to a foreign destination, may
proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility for a
License Exception or export or reexport NLR so long as they are
exported or reexported July 28, 2010. Any such items not actually

exported or reexported before midnight, on July 28, 2010, require a
license in accordance with this rule.
    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 by the Notice of August 13,
2009, 74 FR 41325 (August 14, 2009), has continued the EAR in effect
under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be 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, unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget
Control Number. This rule contains a collection of information subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This
collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under control number 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which
carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes for a manual or electronic
submission.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under E.O. 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 (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other
law requires that a notice of 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 the Administrative Procedure
Act 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.
    5. The other changes made under this rule are nonsubstantive
changes that would not meet the criteria noted in the preceding
paragraph. For these nonsubstantive changes described in this
paragraph, the Department of Commerce finds that there is good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative
Procedure Act requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public
comment because they are unnecessary and contrary to the public
interest. The changes made by this rule described under this paragraph
are not substantive changes, but rather are clarifications to existing
controls. These nonsubstantive changes are described under Part I:
Clarifications to Existing Controls in the Background section of this
rule. These nonsubstantive changes include: revisions to the headings
of existing CCL entries; and removal of an outdated ``Related
Controls'' reference in one CCL entry. This rule does not alter any
right, obligation or prohibition that applies to any person under the
Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Additionally, if the previous
rules were left in place, public confusion may result because the rules
would refer to outdated references and headings. Because these
revisions are not substantive changes, it is unnecessary to provide
notice and opportunity for public comment. In addition, the 30-day
delay in effectiveness required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d) is not applicable
because this rule is not a substantive rule.
