14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2017-1246; Product Identifier 2017-NM-086-AD; Amendment
39-19297; AD 2018-11-09]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-02-01,
which applied to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional
Jet Series 700, 701, & 702), Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series
705), and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. AD
2014-02-01 required repetitive inspections of the rudder travel limiter
(RTL) return springs and primary actuator, and corrective actions if
necessary; and replacement of certain RTL return springs. This AD
requires an inspection of the RTL return springs for signs of chafing;
an inspection of the casing of the primary actuator for signs of
chafing or missing paint; replacement of the RTL return springs; and an
inspection of the lugs of the RTL limiter arm assembly for cracks, and
modification or replacement, as applicable; and applicable corrective
actions. This AD also adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD was
prompted by reports that when installing the RTL return springs, the
RTL limiter arm assembly lug(s) can become deformed. We are issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective July 10, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 10,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2014-02-01, Amendment 39-17729 (79 FR 7382,
February 7, 2014) (``AD 2014-02-01''). AD 2014-02-01 applied to certain
Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, &
702), Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and Model CL-600-
2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on January 16, 2018 (83 FR 2090). The NPRM was
prompted by reports that when installing RTL return spring part number
BA-670-93468-1, the RTL limiter arm assembly lug(s) can become deformed
when the RTL return spring attachment bolt is torqued; and the
determination that additional airplanes are affected by the unsafe
condition. The NPRM proposed to require an inspection of the RTL return
springs for signs of chafing; an inspection of the casing of the
primary actuator for signs of chafing or missing paint; replacement of
the RTL return springs; and an inspection of the lugs of the RTL
limiter arm assembly for cracks, and modification or replacement, as
applicable; and applicable corrective

actions. The NPRM also proposed to add airplanes to the applicability.
We are issuing this AD to prevent deformed RTL limiter arm assembly
lug(s), which can lead to failure of the RTL limiter arm assembly
lug(s). In combination with failure of the RTL, failure of the RTL
limiter arm assembly lug(s) could result in reduced controllability of
the airplane.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2017-19, dated June 6,
2017 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700,
701, & 702), Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and Model CL-
600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Transport Canada AD CF-2010-18R1 [which corresponds to FAA AD
2014-02-01] mandated a repetitive inspection and introduced a new
rudder travel limiter (RTL) return spring, part number (P/N) BA670-
93468-1, to correct the potential dormant RTL spring failure. This
[Canadian] AD is issued to supersede the repetitive inspection and
the replacement of the RTL spring due to discoveries made after the
issuance of [Canadian] AD CF-2010-18R1.
    When installing the RTL return spring P/N BA670-93468-1 as
mandated by [Canadian] AD CF-2010-18R1, it was found that it is
possible for the RTL limiter arm assembly lug to be deformed. The
lugs become bent when the RTL return spring attachment bolt is
torqued. This condition, if not corrected, can lead to failure of
the limiter arm assembly lug. In combination with failure of the
RTL, failure of the limiter arm assembly lug could affect the
controllability of the aeroplane.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the inspection for cracked RTL
limiter arm lugs and modification of the RTL limiter arm to prevent
the RTL limiter arm lugs from bending during RTL assembly.

    Required actions include: A detailed visual inspection of the RTL
return springs for signs of chafing; a detailed visual inspection of
the casing of the primary actuator for signs of chafing or missing
paint; replacement of the RTL return springs; an eddy current
inspection of the lugs of the RTL limiter arm assembly for cracks, and
modification or replacement of the RTL limiter arm assembly, as
applicable; and applicable corrective actions. Corrective actions
include: replacement of the RTL return springs, repair of the primer
and topcoat of the primary actuator, and replacement of the primary
actuator. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at
http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2017-1246.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received. The Air Line Pilots
Association, International supported the NPRM.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-27-070,
Revision B, dated March 31, 2017. This service information describes
procedures for an inspection of the RTL return springs for signs of
chafing; an inspection of the casing of the primary actuator for signs
of chafing or missing paint; replacement of the RTL return springs; and
an inspection of the lugs of the RTL limiter arm assembly for cracks,
and modification or replacement, as applicable; and applicable
corrective actions. This service information is reasonably available
because the interested parties have access to it through their normal
course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

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

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);

    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

[Docket No. 151209999-5999-01]
RIN 0694--AG81

Addition of Certain Persons and Modification of Certain Entries
to the Entity List; and Removal of Certain Persons From the Entity List

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
by adding eight persons under eight entries to the Entity List. The
eight persons who are added to the Entity List have been determined by
the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national

security or foreign policy interests of the United States. These eight
persons will be listed on the Entity List under the destination of the
United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). This final rule also removes nine
persons from the Entity List, as the result of a request for removal
submitted by these persons, a review of information provided in the
removal request in accordance with the procedure for requesting removal
or modification of an Entity List entity and further review conducted
by the End-User Review Committee (ERC). Finally, this rule is also
revising six existing entries in the Entity List. One entry under Iran
is modified to correct the entry by updating the Federal Register
citation. Five entries on the Entity List under the destinations of
Armenia, Greece, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom (U.K.) are
modified to reflect a removal from the Entity List.

DATES: This rule is effective February 23, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744) identifies entities
and other persons reasonably believed to be involved in or to pose a
significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities that are
contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the
United States. The EAR imposes additional license requirements on, and
limits the availability of most license exceptions for exports,
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to those persons or entities
listed on the Entity List. The ``license review policy'' for each
listed entity or other person is identified in the License Review
Policy column on the Entity List and the impact on the availability of
license exceptions is described in the Federal Register notice adding
entities or other persons to the Entity List. BIS places entities and
other persons on the Entity List pursuant to sections of part 744
(Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and part 746 (Embargoes
and Other Special Controls) of the EAR.
    The ERC, composed of representatives of the Departments of Commerce
(Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where appropriate, the Treasury,
makes all decisions regarding additions to, removals from, or other
modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes all decisions to add an
entry to the Entry List by majority vote and all decisions to remove or
modify an entry by unanimous vote.

ERC Entity List Decisions

Additions to the Entity List

    This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add eight persons
under eight entries to the Entity List. These eight persons are being
added on the basis of Sec.  744.11 (License requirements that apply to
entities acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States) of the EAR. The eight entries added to
the entity list are located in the U.A.E.
    The ERC reviewed Sec.  744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity
List) in making the determination to add these eight persons to the
Entity List. Under that paragraph, persons and those acting on behalf
of such persons may be added to the Entity List if there is reasonable
cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that they
have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being
or becoming involved in, activities that are contrary to the national
security or foreign policy interests of the United States. Paragraphs
(b)(1) through (b)(5) of Sec.  744.11 include an illustrative list of
activities that could be contrary to the national security or foreign
policy interests of the United States. Pursuant to Sec.  744.11 of the
EAR, the ERC determined that the eight entities, located in the
destination of the U.A.E., be added to the Entity List for actions
contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the
United States.
    Specifically, the ERC determined that two entities located in the
U.A.E., Euro Vision Technology LLC and Noun Nasreddine, should be be
added to the Entity List on the basis of their attempts to procure
U.S.-origin technology on behalf of designated persons, contrary to the
national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.
Specifically, these persons in the U.A.E. have been involved in
supplying U.S.-origin items to persons designated by the Secretary of
State as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and present a risk of
supplying U.S.-origin items to embargoed destinations without the
required authorizations. An additional two entities located in the
U.A.E., Dow Technology and Hassan Dow, are also being added to the
Entity List on the basis of their procurements of U.S.-origin
technology on behalf of persons that have been involved in supplying
U.S.-origin items to persons designated by the Secretary of State as
FTOs.
    Pursuant to Sec.  744.11 of the EAR, the ERC determined that the
conduct of these four persons raises sufficient concern that prior
review of exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) of items subject
to the EAR involving these persons, and the possible imposition of
license conditions or license denials on shipments to the persons, will
enhance BIS's ability to prevent violations of the EAR.
    In addition, the ERC has determined that for four other entities
located in the U.A.E., FWS Trading FZE, Rainbow General Trading
Company, Hamed Kianynejad and Mojtaba Alikhani, there is reasonable
cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that they
prevented the successful accomplishment of end-use checks by BIS
officials. Prevention of an end-use check is one of the criteria for
addition to the Entity List in the illustrative list of activities
contrary to U.S. national security and foreign policy found in Sec.
744.11 of the EAR.
    Pursuant to Sec.  744.11 (b)(4) of the EAR, the ERC determined that
the conduct of these four persons (FWS Trading, Rainbow General,
Kianynejad and Alikhani) raises sufficient concern that prior review of
exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) of items subject to the
EAR involving these persons, and the possible imposition of license
conditions or license denials on shipments to the persons, will enhance
BIS's ability to prevent violations of the EAR.
    For the eight persons added to the Entity List, BIS imposes a
license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and a license
review policy of presumption of denial. The license requirements apply
to any transaction in which items are to be exported, reexported, or
transferred (in-country) to any of the persons or in which such persons
act as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-
user. In addition, no license exceptions are available for exports,
reexports, or transfers (in-country) to the persons being added to the
Entity List in this rule. The acronym ``a.k.a.'' (also known as) is
used in entries on the Entity List to help exporters, reexporters and
transferors better identify listed persons on the Entity List.
    This final rule adds the following eight persons under eight
entries to the Entity List:

United Arab Emirates

(1) Dow Technology,
    W-38 Musalla Tower, Dubai, U.A.E.; and P.O. Box 5780, Dubai,
U.A.E.;

(2) Euro Vision Technology LLC,
    #701 Damas Tower, 702 Al Maktoum St, Dubai, U.A.E.; and 701 Attar
Tower, Maktoum St, Dubai, U.A.E.; and City Tower, Al Maktoum St. Office

Office #2004, Dubai, U.A.E.;
(4) Hamed Kianynejad,
    Rainbow No. 1212, Ajman Free Zone, Ajman, U.A.E.; and City Tower 2,
Office #2004, Dubai, U.A.E.; and City Tower 2, 20th Floor, Office
#2005, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, U.A.E.;
(5) Hassan Dow,
    W-38 Musalla Tower, Dubai, U.A.E.; and P.O. Box 5780, Dubai,

(7) Noun Nasreddine, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --N.A. Nasreddine.
    #701 Damas Tower, 702 Al Maktoum St, Dubai, U.A.E.; and 701 Attar
Tower, Maktoum St, Dubai, U.A.E.; and City Tower, Al Maktoum St. Office
No. 701, Dubai U.A.E.; and P.O. Box 40595, Dubai, U.A.E.; and Warehouse
No. 8, Plot No. 238, Rashidiya, Dubai, U.A.E.; and
(8) Rainbow General Trading Company,
    City Tower 2, 20th Floor, Office #2005, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai,
U.A.E.

Removals From the Entity List

    This rule implements a decision of the ERC to remove the following
nine persons from the Entity List based on a removal request submitted
by Indira, Jaideep and Nitin Mirchandani and their six companies:
Agneet Sky Limited, located in Ireland; and Aeolus FZE, Aerospace
Company FZE, Aircon Beibars FZE, Group Sky One, and Veteran Avia LLC,
all located in the U.A.E. These entities were added to the Entity List
on September 28, 2014 (79 FR 55999) pursuant to Sec.  744.11 (b)(5) of
the EAR. Jaideep Mirchandani and his family members, Indira Mirchandani
and Nitin Mirchandani, and the entities owned, operated or controlled
by them, were found to be involved in activities supporting the Syrian
regime and attempting to export a U.S.-origin aircraft to Syria that
would be used to further support the Syrian regime. The ERC's decision
to remove these nine persons from the Entity List was based on
information provided by the entities in their appeal request pursuant
to Sec.  744.16 (Procedure for requesting removal or modification of an
Entity List entity) and further review conducted by the ERC.
    In accordance with Sec.  744.16(c), the Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Export Administration has sent written notification informing these
persons of the ERC's decision.
    This final rule implements the decision to remove the following
nine entities located in Ireland and the U.A.E. from the Entity List.

Ireland

(1) Agneet Sky Limited,
    12, Fitzwilliam Place Dublin, 2 Ireland.

United Arab Emirates

(1) Aeolus FZE, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Aeolus Air Group.
    Sharjah Airport Saif Zone, P.O. Box 120435 Sharjah, U.A.E.;
(2) Aerospace Company FZE, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Aerospace Consortium.
    18, Fujairah Free Zone, P.O. Box 1729, Fujairah, U.A.E.; and
Fujairah Free Zone, P.O. Box 7168, Fujairah, U.A.E.;
(3) Aircon Beibars FZE,
    Plot of Land L4--03, 04, 05, 06, P.O. Box 121095, Sharjah, U.A.E.;
(4) Indira Mirchandani,
    Town House 1033 Uptown Mirdif, Mirdif, Algeria Street, Dubai,
U.A.E.;
(5) Jaideep Mirchandani, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Jaidip Mirchandani.
    Villa No. W10 Emirates Hills, Dubai, U.A.E.;
(6) Nitin Mirchandani, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Nithin Merchandani.
    H2601 Executive Towers, Business Bay, Dubai, U.A.E.;
(7) Group Sky One, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Sky One FZE.
    Q4 76, Sharjah Airport Free Zone, Sharjah, U.A.E., and Executive
Desk, Q1-05, 030/C, P.O. Box 122849, Sharjah, U.A.E.; and
(8) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    Sharjah SAIF Zone, Sharjah, U.A.E.; and Y2-307, Saif Zone, Sharjah
International Airport, P.O. Box 122598, Sharjah, U.A.E. (See also
addresses under Armenia, Greece, India, Pakistan, and U.K., which have
been revised to reflect this removal).
    The removal of the nine persons referenced above, which was
approved by the ERC, eliminates the existing license requirements in
Supplement No. 4 to part 744 for exports, reexports and transfers (in-
country) to these entities. However, the removal of these nine persons
from the Entity List does not relieve persons of other obligations
under part 744 of the EAR or under other parts of the EAR. Neither the
removal of an entity from the Entity List nor the removal of Entity
List-based license requirements relieves persons of their obligations
under General Prohibition 5 in Sec.  736.2(b)(5) of the EAR which
provides that, ``you may not, without a license, knowingly export or
reexport any item subject to the EAR to an end-user or end-use that is
prohibited by part 744 of the EAR.'' Additionally, these removals do
not relieve persons of their obligation to apply for export, reexport
or in-country transfer licenses required by other provisions of the
EAR. BIS strongly urges the use of Supplement No. 3 to part 732 of the
EAR, ``BIS's `Know Your Customer' Guidance and Red Flags,'' when
persons are involved in transactions that are subject to the EAR.

Corrections and Conforming Changes to the Entity List

    This final rule implements corrections and conforming changes for
six existing entries on the Entity List. Under the destination of Iran,
the entry for Simin Neda Industrial and Electrical Parts is amended by
correcting the Federal Register citation. Under the destinations of
Armenia, Greece, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom, the five
entries for the entity Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., Veteran Airline, are
amended to reflect the removal of the Veteran Avia LLC entity located
in the U.A.E.
    Correction for Federal Register citation. The original citation for
the final rule that added Simin Neda Industrial and Electrical Parts to
the Entity list was erroneously listed as 72 FR 38008, 7/12/07 in the
following rule: Addition of Certain Persons to the Entity List; and
Implementation of Entity List Annual Review Changes, April 25, 2012 (72
FR 24590). Simin Neda Industrial and Electrical Parts was added to the
Entity List in the following rule: Addition of Certain Persons to the
Entity List; Removal of General Order From the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR), September 22, 2008 (73 FR 54507). This final rule
corrects the original Federal Register citiation for this entity to
correctly reference the Federal Register citation for the September 22,
2008 final rule. This final rule does not make any other changes to
this Iranian entity. The entity name remains the same, the license

requirement remains for all items subject to the EAR, and the license
application review policy remains a presumption of denial.
    Conforming changes for an approved removal. This final rule revises
five entries in the in the Entity List for the entity Veteran Avia LLC
to remove all references to the U.A.E. location of Veteran Avia LLC. As
described above, the U.A.E. location of Veteran LLC was approved for
removal from the Entity List. Therefore, this final rule makes
conforming changes to the remaining five entries for the entity Veteran
Avia LLC to remove the cross reference to the U.A.E. This final rule
does not make any other changes to these five entries. The license
requirement remains for all items subject to the EAR, and the license
application review policy remains a presumption of denial.
    This final rule makes the following revisions to six entries on the
Entity List:

Armenia

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    64, Baghramyam Avenue, Apt 16, Yerevan 0033, Armenia; and 1 Eervand
Kochari Street Room 1, 375070 Yerevan, Armenia (See also addresses
under Greece, India, Pakistan, and U.K.).

Greece

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    24, A. Koumbi Street, Markopoulo 190 03, Attika, Greece (See also
addresses under Armenia, India, Pakistan, and U.K.).

India

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    A-107, Lajpat Nagar--I New Delhi 110024, India; and Room No. 34
Import Cargo, IGI Aiport Terminal--II, New Delhi 110037, India; and
25B, Camac Street 3E, Camac Court Kolkatta, 700016, India; and Ali's

(1) Simin Neda Industrial and Electrical Parts, a.k.a., the following
alias:
    --TTSN.
    No. 22, Second Floor, Amjad Bldg., Jomhoori Ave., Tehran, Iran.

Pakistan

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    Room No. 1, ALC Building, PIA Cargo Complex Jiap, Karachi, Pakistan
(See also addresses under Armenia, Greece, India, and U.K.).

United Kingdom

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    1 Beckett Place, South Hamptonshire, London, U.K. (See also
addresses under Armenia, Greece, India, and Pakistan).

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 en route aboard a carrier to a port of
export or reexport, on February 23, 2016 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 without a license (NLR).

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 7, 2015, 80 FR 48233 (August 11, 2015), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act. 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.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to nor 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 regulation involves
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088,
Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among
other things, license applications and carries a burden estimate of
43.8 minutes for a manual or electronic submission.
    Total burden hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number
0694-0088 are not expected to increase as a result of this rule. You
may send comments regarding the collection of information associated
with this rule, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to
Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by fax to<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. For the eight persons added to the Entity List in this final
rule, the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553)
requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public
comment and a delay in effective date are inapplicable because this
regulation involves a military or foreign affairs function of the
United States. (See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS implements this rule to
protect U.S. national security or foreign policy interests by
preventing items from being exported, reexported, or transferred (in
country) to the persons being added to the Entity List. If this rule
were delayed to allow for notice and comment and a delay in effective
date, the entities being added to the Entity List by this action would
continue to be able to receive items without a license and to conduct
activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States. In addition, publishing a proposed rule
would give these parties notice of the U.S. Government's intention to
place them on the Entity List and would create an incentive for these
persons to either accelerate receiving items subject to the EAR to
conduct activities that are contrary to the national security or
foreign policy

interests of the United States, and/or to take steps to set up
additional aliases, change addresses, and other measures to try to
limit the impact of the listing on the Entity List once a final rule
was published. Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this
rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 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. Accordingly,
no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none has been
prepared.
    5. For the nine removals from the Entity List in this final rule,
pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B),
BIS finds good cause to waive requirements that this rule be subject to
notice and the opportunity for public comment because it would be
contrary to the public interest.
    In determining whether to grant removal requests from the Entity
List, a committee of U.S. Government agencies (the End-User Review
Committee (ERC)) evaluates information about and commitments made by
listed persons requesting removal from the Entity List, the nature and
terms of which are set forth in 15 CFR part 744, Supplement No. 5, as
noted in 15 CFR 744.16(b). The information, commitments, and criteria
for this extensive review were all established through the notice of
proposed rulemaking and public comment process (72 FR 31005 (June 5,
2007) (proposed rule), and 73 FR 49311 (August 21, 2008) (final rule)).
These nine removals have been made within the established regulatory
framework of the Entity List. If the rule were to be delayed to allow
for public comment, U.S. exporters may face unnecessary economic losses
as they turn away potential sales because the customer remained a
listed person on the Entity List even after the ERC approved the
removal pursuant to the rule published at 73 FR 49311 on August 21,
2008. By publishing without prior notice and comment, BIS allows the
applicant to receive U.S. exports immediately because the applicant
already has received approval by the ERC pursuant to 15 CFR part 744,
Supplement No. 5, as noted in 15 CFR 744.16(b).
    The removals from the Entity List granted by the ERC involve
interagency deliberation and result from review of public and non-
public sources, including sensitive law enforcement information and
classified information, and the measurement of such information against
the Entity List removal criteria. This information is extensively
reviewed according to the criteria for evaluating removal requests from
the Entity List, as set out in 15 CFR part 744, Supplement No. 5 and 15
CFR 744.16(b). For reasons of national security, BIS is not at liberty
to provide to the public detailed information on which the ERC relied
to make the decisions to remove these nine entities. In addition, the
information included in the removal request is information exchanged
between the applicant and the ERC, which by law (section 12(c) of the
Export Administration Act), BIS is restricted from sharing with the
public. Moreover, removal requests from the Entity List contain
confidential business information, which is necessary for the extensive
review conducted by the U.S. Government in assessing such removal
requests.
    Section 553(d) of the APA generally provides that rules may not
take effect earlier than thirty (30) days after they are published in
the Federal Register. BIS finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in
effectiveness under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1) because this rule is a
substantive rule which relieves a restriction. This rule's removal of
nine persons from the Entity List removes a requirement (the Entity-
List-based license requirement and limitation on use of license
exceptions) on these nine persons being removed from the Entity List.
The rule does not impose a requirement on any other person for these
nine removals from the Entity List.
    In addition, the Department finds that there is good cause under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) requiring prior notice and the opportunity for
public comment for the six corrections and conforming changes included
in this rule because they are either unnecessary or contrary to the
public interest. The following six corrections and conforming changes
are non-substantive or are limited to ensure consistency with a past
rulemaking, and thus prior notice and the opportunity for public
comment is unnecessary. One correction is limited to correcting the
Federal Register citation to ensure consistency with a past rulemaking.
The other five conforming changes are limited to making a conforming
change to reflect the removal of the Veteran Avia LLC entity located in
the U.A.E. These five conforming changes are needed to correct the
cross reference parenthetical phrase included in each of these five
entries.
    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 under the APA or by any other law, the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
are not applicable. As a result, no final regulatory flexibility
analysis is required and none has been prepared.

EPA Workshop for Communities with Environmental Justice Concerns on Proposed Rule to Reduce Carbon Pollution from Existing Power Plants

                               October 30, 2014
                              9:00 am  -  4:30 pm
                           Crystal Gateway Marriott
                         1700 Jefferson Davis Highway
                              Arlington, VA 22202

On June 2, 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency issued the proposed Clean Power Plan (CPP) rule. This rule proposes state-specific goals for reducing carbon dioxide from the power sector; states will then need to make plans to to meet the goal. The proposed rule also promotes clean and renewable energy options. This is a federal rule that will have important implications for state air and energy policies. Therefore, we welcome stakeholders who have environmental justice concerns to participate and share perspectives about how the rule can be reflective and responsive to the needs of environmentally overburdened, underserved, and economically distressed communities across the country.

If you are interested in learning how you can help your state achieve cleaner air, reduce the impacts of climate change, and promote renewable energy sources, it is important that you understand the Clean Power Plan. You have an opportunity to help shape this rule...come learn how!

We encourage you to take advantage of this 1-day workshop, which will:
 Provide an overview of the Clean Power Plan proposed rule.
 Prepare participants to engage effectively in the public participation process.
 Provide EPA staff with a better understanding of key community concerns about the CPP.
 Provide information about the elements of the CPP that are important to communities with environmental justice concerns.
 Provide information about how to participate in the public comment process, which is open until December 1, 2014.

We look forward to your participation!

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and feedback on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited with my more then full time job. I and many other fellow citizens have a vested interest and have already spent many time hours researching and dissecting these issues as best as possible, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the citizens a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they gave me the ability to preserve my health and reallocate finances from what was a hefty financial burden to myself and many other formerly addicted smokers into a better quality of life.

I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I very sincerely appreciate your consideration of my request.
