DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2011-N-0076]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on requirements governing the
acceptance of electronic records and electronic signatures.

DATES: Submit either written or electronic comments on the collection
of information by May 27, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to: http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50-400B, Rockville,
MD 20850<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or

provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed extension of an existing
collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of
the proposed collection of information listed set forth in this
document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures--(OMB Control Number 0910-
0303)--Extension

    FDA regulations in part 11 (21 CFR part 11) provide criteria for
acceptance of electronic records, electronic signatures, and
handwritten signatures executed to electronic records as equivalent to
paper records. Under these regulations, records and reports may be
submitted to FDA electronically provided the Agency has stated its
ability to accept the records electronically in an Agency-established
public docket and that the other requirements of part 11 are met.
    The recordkeeping provisions in part 11 (Sec. Sec.  11.10, 11.30,
11.50, and 11.300) require the following standard operating procedures
to assure appropriate use of, and precautions for, systems using
electronic records and signatures: (1) Sec.  11.10 specifies procedures
and controls for persons who use closed systems to create, modify,
maintain, or transmit electronic records; (2) Sec.  11.30 specifies
procedures and controls for persons who use open systems to create,
modify, maintain, or transmit electronic records; (3) Sec.  11.50
specifies procedures and controls for persons who use electronic
signatures; and (4) Sec.  11.300 specifies controls to ensure the
security and integrity of electronic signatures based upon use of
identification codes in combination with passwords. The reporting
provision (Sec.  11.100) requires persons to certify in writing to FDA
that they will regard electronic signatures used in their systems as
the legally binding equivalent of traditional handwritten signatures.
    The burden created by the information collection provision of this
regulation is a one-time burden associated with the creation of
standard operating procedures, validation, and certification. The
Agency anticipates the use of electronic media will substantially
reduce the paperwork burden associated with maintaining FDA required
records. The respondents are businesses and other for-profit
organizations, State or local governments, Federal Agencies, and
nonprofit institutions.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Administration regulations covering management of Federal advisory
committees, 41 CFR Part 102-3, this notice announces a meeting of the
National Task Force to Develop Model Contingency Plans to Deal with
Lengthy Airline On-Board Ground Delays. The Meeting will be held on

Transportation (U.S. DOT), 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC,
in the Oklahoma City Conference Room on the lobby level of the West
Building.
    DOT's Office of Inspector General recommended, in its audit report,
entitled ``Actions Needed to Minimize Long, On-Board Flight Delays,''
issued on September 25, 2007, that the Secretary of Transportation
establish a national task force of airlines, airports, and the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) to coordinate and develop contingency
plans to deal with lengthy delays, such as working with carriers and
airports to share facilities and make gates available in an emergency.
To effectuate this recommendation, on January 3, 2008, the Department,
consistent with the requirements of the FACA, established the National
Task Force to Develop Model Contingency Plans to Deal with Lengthy
Airline On-Board Ground Delays. The first meeting of the Task Force
took place on February 26, 2008.
    The agenda topics for the April 29, 2008, meeting will include the

perspective on air traffic holds and ground delays and uncertainties in
the system; (2) a presentation on the regional airline perspective of
tarmac delays; (3) one or more presentations on recent tarmac delay
events and efforts to avoid them; (4) a briefing by the Passenger Needs
Working Group, the working group that studied the common needs of
significantly delayed passengers on aircraft and passengers who
returned to the terminal after disembarking from such aircraft; (5) a
briefing by the Delays Causes Working Group, the working group that
examined the possible causes of lengthy tarmac delays; and (6) a
discussion of whether additional working groups should be established
to achieve the objectives of the Task Force and if so, what the purpose
of these working groups should be.
    Attendance is open to the public, and time will be provided for
comments by members of the public. Since access to the U.S. DOT

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change To Extend the Pilot Regarding the Use of Multiple
MPIDs on the Trade Reporting Facilities and the Alternative Display
Facility

December 30, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on December 29, 2008, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. (``FINRA'') (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (``NASD'')) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has
designated the proposed rule change as constituting a ``non-
controversial'' rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 under
the Act,\3\ which renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this
filing by the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to extend through January 29, 2010, the current
rules regarding the use of multiple Market Participant Symbols
(``MPIDs'') in FINRA Rules 6160 (with respect to Trade Reporting
Facilities (``TRFs'')) and 6170 (with respect to the Alternative
Display Facility (``ADF'')).
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal offices of FINRA and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of those statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
(a) FINRA Rule 6160
    Rule 6160 (Multiple MPIDs for Trade Reporting Facility
Participants) provides that any Trade Reporting Facility Participant
that wishes to use more than one MPID for purposes of reporting trades
to a TRF must submit a written request to, and obtain approval from,
FINRA Operations for such additional MPIDs. In addition, Supplementary
Material to the rule states that FINRA considers the issuance of, and
trade reporting with, multiple MPIDs to be a privilege and not a right.
A Trade Reporting Facility Participant must identify the purpose(s) and
system(s) for which the multiple MPIDs will be used. If FINRA
determines that the use of multiple MPIDs is detrimental to the
marketplace, or that a Trade Reporting Facility Participant is using
one or more additional MPIDs improperly or for other than the
purpose(s) identified by the Participant, FINRA staff retains full
discretion to limit or withdraw its grant of the additional MPID(s) to
such Trade

Reporting Facility Participant for purposes of reporting trades to a
TRF. FINRA believes that Rule 6160 is necessary to consolidate the
process of issuing, and tracking the use of, multiple MPIDs used to
report trades to TRFs.
    The Commission initially approved Rule 6160 (formerly NASD Rule
5140 and IM-5140) on a pilot basis on November 6, 2006.\4\ By its
terms, the pilot period expired on January 26, 2007. In 2007 and 2008,
the pilot period was extended for additional one-year periods until
January 25, 2008 and January 30, 2009, respectively.\5\ FINRA believes
that an additional one-year extension until January 29, 2010, is
necessary to provide additional time to analyze the use of multiple
MPIDs on the TRFs. FINRA is not proposing any other changes to the
pilot as this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54715 (November 6,
2006), 71 FR 66354 (November 14, 2006); see also Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 54715A (November 14, 2006), 71 FR 67183 (November
20, 2006) (correcting original approval order).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55206 (January 31,
2007), 72 FR 5479 (February 6, 2007) and Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 57217 (January 28, 2008), 73 FR 6234 (February 1, 2008),
respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) FINRA Rule 6170
    Rule 6170 (Primary and Additional MPIDs for Alternative Display
Facility Participants) provides that a Registered Reporting ADF ECN may
request additional MPIDs for displaying quotes and orders and reporting
trades through the ADF trade reporting facility, TRACS, for any ADF-
Eligible Security. Registered Reporting ADF ECNs that are permitted the
use of additional MPIDs for displaying quotes and orders are subject to
the same rules applicable to the member's first quotation (i.e., ECNs
that display one or more additional quotes/orders are required to
comply with all rules applicable to ECNs in their display of quotes/
orders). Registered Reporting ADF ECNs also are prohibited from using
an additional MPID to accomplish indirectly what they are prohibited
from doing directly through their Primary MPID. In addition, FINRA
staff retains full discretion to determine whether a bona fide
regulatory and/or business need exists for being granted an additional
MPID privilege and to limit or withdraw the additional MPID display
privilege at any time. The procedures for requesting, and the
restrictions surrounding the use of, multiple MPIDs are set forth in
Supplementary Material to the rule.
    Rule 6170 (formerly NASD Rule 4613A(b) and IM-4613A-1) was adopted
on a pilot basis on August 11, 2006.\6\ By its terms, the initial pilot
period expired on January 26, 2007.\7\ In 2007 and 2008, the pilot
period was extended for additional one-year periods until January 25,
2008 and January 30, 2009, respectively.\8\ FINRA believes that an
additional one-year extension until January 29, 2010, is necessary to
provide additional time to analyze the use of multiple MPIDs on the
ADF. FINRA is not proposing any other changes to the pilot as this
time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54307 (August 11,
2006), 71 FR 47551 (August 17, 2006).
    \7\ The expiration of the pilot period coincided with the
expiration of the ADF pilot period. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 53699 (April 21, 2006), 71 FR 25271 (April 28, 2006). On
January 26, 2007, the Commission approved a proposed rule change to

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

    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. The implementation date of the proposed rule change will
be January 30, 2009.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\9\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with these requirements because it will provide a process by
which ECNs (in the case of the ADF) and Trade Reporting Facility
Participants (in the case of TRFs) can request, and FINRA can properly
allocate, the use of additional MPIDs for displaying quotes and orders
through the ADF or reporting trades to a TRF.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing. FINRA complied
with this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Renewal of an
Existing Collection and Request for Comment; Request for Contractor
Access to Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Confidential Business
Information (CBI)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this
document announces the availability of and solicits public comment on
the following Information Collection Request (ICR) that EPA is planning
to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB): ``Request for
Contractor Access to TSCA Confidential Business Information (CBI),''
identified by EPA ICR No. 1250.12 and OMB Control No. 2070-0075. This
ICR represents the renewal of an existing ICR that is currently
approved through October 31, 2022. Before submitting the ICR to OMB for
review and approval under the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments on
specific aspects of the proposed information collection that is
summarized in this document. The ICR and accompanying material are
available in the docket for public review and comment.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 25, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2017-0318, through the Federal eRulemaking

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)),
EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What information collection activity or ICR does this action apply
to?

    Title: Request for Contractor Access to TSCA Confidential Business
Information (CBI).
    EPA ICR No.: 1250.12.
    OMB Control No.: 2070-0075.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently approved through October 31,
2022. Under the PRA, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person
is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers
for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are
displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: EPA procures contract support to facilitate the
performance of certain duties that may require contractors to handle
TSCA CBI. Each contractor employee who will use TSCA CBI in the
performance of his or her duties must be authorized for access to TSCA
CBI through a multi-step process. The TSCA CBI Protection Manual
provides Federal and contractor employees with guidelines and operating
procedures for handling TSCA CBI while performing their official
duties, as well as the procedures to obtain authorization for access to
TSCA CBI.
    Specifically, for purposes of this information collection,
contractor personnel must submit to EPA the form entitled ``TSCA CBI
Access Request, Agreement, and Approval'' (EPA Form 7740-6). EPA uses
Form 7740-6 to collect information about contractor personnel so that
EPA can evaluate their suitability for access to TSCA CBI. EPA stores
the information on the OPPT Chemical Information System.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.6
hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related
materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities
and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here:
    Respondents/affected entities: The following North American
Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes have been provided to
assist in determining whether this action might apply to certain
entities: NAICS codes 514 (Information Services) and 561
(Administrative and Support Services).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory; 15 U.S.C. 2614.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated number of potential respondents: 23.
    Total estimated average number of responses for each respondent:
214.
    Total estimated annual burden hours: 340.8 hours.
    Total estimated annual costs: $19,740. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $19,740 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is no increase in number of hours in the estimated total
annual burden and costs compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This increase in estimates results from an
increase in the hourly wages and a change in the methodology to
calculate loaded wages (wages plus fringe benefits and overhead). This
change is an adjustment.
    In addition, OMB has requested that EPA move towards using the 18-
question format for ICR Supporting Statements used by other federal
agencies and departments and is based on the submission instructions

established by OMB in 1995, replacing the alternate format developed by
EPA and OMB prior to 1995. The Agency does not expect this change in
format to result in substantive changes to the information collection
activities or related estimated burden and costs.

IV. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    l. The existing Muddy Run Pumped Storage Project consists of four
dams. The main dam is a rock-filled structure across the Muddy Run
ravine with a central impervious core, a maximum height of
approximately 260 feet and a total length of 4,800 feet. The east dike
is a zoned-earth and rock-filled embankment with a maximum height of
approximately 12 feet and a total length of 800 feet. The recreation
pond dike is a zoned-earth and rock-filled embankment with a maximum
height of approximately 90 feet and a total length of 750 feet. The
canal embankment has a maximum height of approximately 35 feet. Total
storage in the 900-acre Muddy Run reservoir (upper reservoir) is
approximately 60,000 acre-feet and the total useable storage is
approximately 35,500 acre-feet at the maximum pool elevation of 520
feet.\1\ The maximum pool elevation is approximately 411 feet above the
normal elevation of Conowingo pond. Conowingo pond (lower reservoir)
has a surface area of 9,000 acres and design storage of approximately
310,000 acre-feet at the normal full pool elevation of 109.2 feet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ All elevations are referenced to National Geodetic Vertical
Datum (NGVD) 1929.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The main spillway is a non-gated concrete ogee-type structure that
is 200 feet long, 20 feet high and with a crest elevation of 521 feet,
which is directed to a vegetated natural ravine. The recreation pond
spillway is a rock-cut channel approximately 140 feet wide and with a
crest elevation of 520 feet.
    The power intake facilities consist of four cylinder gates with
trash racks in a cylindrical tower. Each intake supplies two units.
Each intake leads to a 430-foot-deep vertical shaft then to a
horizontal power tunnel, which divides into two sections. The power
tunnel sections transition to a penstock that

leads to one of the eight reversible pump-turbine units in the
powerhouse. The power plant is constructed of concrete and is 133 feet
wide and 600 feet long. It houses eight Francis turbines each equipped
with a 100-megawatt (MW) generator. The powerhouse turbines each have a
hydraulic capacity of 4,000 cubic feet per second (cfs), for a total
discharge capacity from the powerhouse of 32,000 cfs. The pumping
capacity of the pump turbines is 3,500 cfs each for a total powerhouse
pumping capability of 28,000 cfs. Water flowing through the turbines is
discharged via the draft tubes into the Susquehanna River adjacent to
the powerhouse. The units are equipped with trash racks between the
draft tube outlet and the river.
    Electricity generated at the project is transmitted by two
individual 220-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines extending from the
project switching station approximately 4.25 miles to the Peach Bottom
Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) North Substation located in York County.
    The Muddy Run Project has an authorized nameplate generating
capacity of 800 MW and generates an average of 1,610,611 megawatt hours
annually. Exelon is not proposing any new or upgraded facilities or
structural changes to the project at this time. Also, Exelon has
engaged interested stakeholders to participate in the development of a
comprehensive settlement agreement based on collaborative negotiation
of specific terms and conditions for the new Muddy Run license.
    m. A copy of the application is available for review at the
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the

adopted pursuant to the AG silent approval procedure, and the
recommendations made at the June 2017 AG Plenary Implementation Meeting
and adopted by the AG Plenary. Among other changes, the April 2, 2018,
final rule amended ECCN 1C350 by renumbering paragraphs .b through .d
in alphabetical order. Following the publication of that rule, however,
certain references to ECCN 1C350.c and 1C350.d in the description of
items eligible under the validated end-user authorization (VEU)
provisions of the EAR no longer identified the correct subparagraphs in
ECCN 1C350 because the rule inadvertently failed to update the
references to ECCN 1C350.c and 1C350.d in the description of eligible
items for three of the validated end-users identified in Supplement No.
7 to part 748 (Authorization Validated End-User (VEU)) of the EAR. This
final rule amends the VEU provisions to provide the correct references
to eligible items in ECCN 1C350 for three validated end-users.

DATES: This rule is effective June 4, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 2, 2018, the Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) published a final rule titled ``Implementation of the
February 2017 Australia Group (AG) Intersessional Decisions and the
June 2017 AG Plenary Understandings; Addition of India to the AG'' (83
FR 13849), which amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to
implement the recommendations presented at the Australia Group (AG)
Intersessional Implementation Meeting held in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
on February 15, 2017, and adopted pursuant to the AG silent approval
procedure in April 2017, and the recommendations presented at the
Implementation Meeting of the 2017 AG Plenary held in Paris, France,
from June 26-30, 2017, and adopted by the AG Plenary. In addition, that
final rule amended the EAR to reflect the addition of India as a
participating country in the AG, as of January 19, 2018.
    The amendments to the April 2, 2018, final rule included revisions
to Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 1C350, among which were
the renumbering of certain items listed in paragraph .b, .c, or .d of
this ECCN. However, that final rule inadvertently omitted updates to
the references to ECCN 1C350.c and 1C350.d in the description of
eligible items for three of the validated end-users identified in
Supplement No. 7 to part 748 (Authorization Validated End-User (VEU))
of the EAR. Consequently, these descriptions no longer identified the
correct subparagraphs for eligible items in ECCN 1C350. This final rule
amends the references to ECCN 1C350 in Supplement No. 7 to part 748 to
identify the correct subparagraphs for eligible items in ECCN 1C350,
consistent with the amendments to ECCN 1C350 contained in the April 2,
2018, final rule.
    Specifically, this final rule amends Supplement No. 7 to part 748
to correctly identify which items in ECCN 1C350 are eligible for each
of the following validated end-users: (1) The description of eligible
ECCN 1C350 items in the entry for ``CSMC Technologies Corporation'' is
revised to reference 1C350.c.4 (Phosphorus oxychloride, C.A.S. #10025-
87-3) and 1C350.c.12 (Trimethyl phosphite, C.A.S. #121-45-9); (2) the
description of eligible ECCN 1C350 items in the entry for ``Samsung
China Semiconductor Co. Ltd.'' is revised to reference 1C350.c.4 and
1C350.d.10 (Hydrogen fluoride, C.A.S. #7664-39-3); and (3) the
description of eligible ECCN 1C350 items in the entry for ``Shanghai
Huahong Grace Semiconductor

Manufacturing Corporation'' is revised to reference 1C350.c.4 and
1C350.d.10. These conforming amendments do not change the scope of
eligible items for any of the three validated end-users indicated
above--they merely update the ECCN references in Supplement No. 7 to
part 748 to correctly identify which ECCN 1C350 items are eligible for
each of these validated end-users. Because this rule does not add or
remove any validated end-users or revise the scope of eligible items,
the citation for this rule is not indicated in the ``Federal Register
Citation'' column of Supplement No. 7.

Export Administration Act

    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 amended by Executive Order 13637 of March
8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013), and as extended by the Notice of
August 15, 2017 (82 FR 39005 (August 16, 2017)), has continued the
Export Administration Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). BIS continues
to carry out the provisions of the Export Administration Act, as
appropriate and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive
Order 13222 as amended by Executive Order 13637.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866. This rule is not an Executive Order
13771 regulatory action because this rule is not significant under
Executive Order 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, Simplified Network Application Processing System. This
collection includes license applications, among other things, and
carries a burden estimate of 29.6 minutes per manual or electronic
submission for a total burden estimate of 31,833 hours. This rule is
not expected to result in any change in the burden hours associated
with this collection. Specifically, this rule updates references to
ECCN 1C350 in Supplement No. 7 to part 748 (Authorization Validated
End-User (VEU)) to reflect the amendments to this ECCN made by a final
rule, titled ``Implementation of the February 2017 Australia Group (AG)
Intersessional Decisions and the June 2017 AG Plenary Understandings;
Addition of India to the AG,'' that was published in the Federal
Register on April 2, 2018 (83 FR 13849). These corrections to
Supplement No. 7 to part 748 are not expected to change the number of
license applications that will have to be submitted for items
controlled under ECCN 1C350. Send comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Jasmeet Seehra,
Office of Management and Budget, by email to
[email protected] or by fax to<PHONE_NUMBER>; and to the
Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department
of Commerce, 14th Street & Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 2705,
Washington, DC 20230 or by email to [email protected].
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking and the opportunity for
public participation are waived for good cause because they are
unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. (See 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B)). The provision of the Administrative Procedure Act requiring
a 30-day delay in effectiveness is also waived for good cause. (5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). The changes contained in this rule are non-
substantive technical corrections of a previously published rule that
has already been exempted from notice and comment. This rule is
necessary to ensure clarity in the regulations and accuracy regarding
the scope of VEU-eligible items in Supplement No. 1 to part 748 of the
EAR. If this rule were delayed to allow for notice and comment and a
delay in effective date, it would result in further confusion caused by
the incorrect cross-references to ECCN 1C350 contained in this
Supplement. These changes are also essential to ensuring the accurate
and complete implementation of the April 2, 2018, final rule.
    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. Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is
required and none has been prepared.
