[Docket No. USCG-2008-0174]

Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Sacramento River, Rio Vista,
CA, Drawbridge Maintenance

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard District, has issued a
temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the
Rio Vista Drawbridge across the Sacramento River, mile 12.8, at Rio
Vista, CA. The deviation is necessary to allow the bridge owner, the
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), to conduct required
maintenance of the drawspan. This deviation allows for a 4-hour notice
for openings during nighttime.

DATES: This deviation is effective between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., from
March 24, 2008 through April 24, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2008-0174 and are available online
at http://www.regulations.gov. They are also available for inspection
or copying two locations: The Docket Management Facility (M-30), U.S.
Department of Transportation, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140,
1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5
p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays, and Commander
(dpw), Eleventh Coast Guard District, Building 50-2, Coast Guard
Island, Alameda, CA 94501-5100, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David H. Sulouff, Chief, Bridge
Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Caltrans requested a temporary change to the
operation of the Rio Vista Drawbridge, mile 12.8, Sacramento River, at
Rio Vista, CA. The Rio Vista Drawbridge navigation span provides a
vertical clearance of 17 feet above Mean High Water in the closed-to-
navigation position. The draw opens on signal as required by 33 CFR
117.5. Navigation on the waterway consists of both commercial and
recreational vessels.
    The 4-hour notice for openings during the maintenance period,
between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., from March 24, 2008 through April 24, 2008,
will allow Caltrans to clear the drawspan of maintenance equipment so
as not to delay approaching vessels. This temporary deviation has been
coordinated with all affected waterway users. No objections to the
proposed temporary deviation were raised.
    Vessels that can transit the bridge, while in the closed-to-
navigation position, may continue to do so at any time.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: March 20, 2008.
C.E. Bone,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard
District.

14 CFR Part 73

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0201; Airspace Docket No. 10-ASO-19]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Using Agency for Restricted Areas R-3005A, R-3305B,
R-3005C, R-3005D and R-3005E; Fort Stewart, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action changes the using agency of restricted areas R-
3005A, R-3005B, R-3005C, R-3005D and R-3005E, Fort Stewart, GA, to
``Commander, U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Stewart, GA.'' There are no
changes to the boundaries; designated altitudes; time of designation;
or activities conducted within the affected restricted area.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, June 3, 2010. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Airspace and Rules
Group, Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 29, 2009, the U.S. Army requested that the FAA change
the name of the using agency for restricted areas R-3005A, R-3005B, R-
3005C, R-3005D and R-3005E at Fort Stewart, GA, to ``Commander, U.S.
Army Garrison, Fort Stewart, GA.'' This change is required due to the
reorganization of the Fort Stewart Installation command structure.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 73 by amending the using agency for restricted areas R-3005A, R-
3005B, R-3005C, R-3005D and R-3005E at Fort Stewart, GA to reflect
current organizational management responsibilities. This is an
administrative change and does not affect the boundaries, designated
altitudes, or activities conducted within the restricted area;
therefore, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
unnecessary.
    The FAA has determined that this action only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with 311d., FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures. This airspace action is an administrative change to the
descriptions of the affected restricted areas to update the using
agency name. It does not alter the dimensions, altitudes, or times of
designation of the airspace; therefore, it is not expected to cause any
potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment.

Implementation in the Export Administration Regulations of the
United States' Rescission of Sudan's Designation as a State Sponsor of
Terrorism

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the
rescission of Sudan's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism
(SSOT). The Secretary of State rescinded this designation effective
December 14, 2020 in accordance with established statutory procedures,
including the President's October 26, 2020 submission to Congress of a
report justifying the rescission and certifying Sudan had not provided
any support for acts of international terrorism during the preceding
six month period and that Sudan had provided assurances that it would
not support acts of international terrorism in the future. Accordingly,
BIS amends the EAR by removing Anti-Terrorism (AT) controls on the
country and by removing Sudan from Country Group E:1 (Terrorist
supporting countries). These actions render the country eligible for a
general 25 percent de minimis level. As a consequence of these actions,
as well as the addition of the country to Country Group B, Sudan is
also potentially eligible for several new license exceptions under the
EAR. However, pursuant to this rule, two license exceptions will be
unavailable for exports and reexports to Sudan. BIS also makes
conforming amendments in other applicable EAR provisions as part of
this rule.

DATES: This rule is effective January 14, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

I. Brief History of Anti-Terrorism Controls on Sudan

A. Overview

    Sections 1753, 1754, and 1768 of the Export Control Reform Act of
2018 (ECRA), 50 U.S.C. Sections 4801-4852, provide the legal authority
for BIS's AT controls on SSOT destinations. On August 12, 1993, in
accordance with Section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979,
then codified at 50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j), the Secretary of State
designated Sudan as a SSOT, citing his determination that Sudan, then
led by Omar al-Bashir, had repeatedly provided support for acts of
international terrorism. See 58 FR 52523 (Oct. 8, 1993). Consistent
with this designation, BIS imposed AT controls on Sudan in accordance
with the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, formerly
codified at 50 U.S.C. Sections 4601-4623, the legal authority at the
time for BIS's export control regime. 61 FR 12714 (March 25, 1996).
Pursuant to Sec.  742.10 (Anti-Terrorism) of the EAR, a license was
also required for the export or reexport to Sudan of nearly all items
on the Commerce Control List (CCL), Supp. No. 1 to part 774 of the EAR.
License applications for such exports and reexports were reviewed under
a general policy of denial. Consistent with Sudan's designation as a
SSOT, the country was also placed in Country Group E (now Country Group
E:1): (terrorist-supporting countries) in Supplement No. 1 to part 740
of the EAR and made subject to a 10 percent de minimis threshold for
controlled U.S.-origin content (see Sec.  734.4 of the EAR). Most
license exceptions were also unavailable for exports and reexports of
CCL items destined for Sudan due to its status as an ``E:1'' country.

B. Changes to Certain Licensing Policies and License Exceptions

    Notwithstanding the general policy of denial set forth in Sec.
742.10 of the EAR, prior to the publication of this rule, BIS reviewed
certain categories of CCL items proposed for export or reexport to
Sudan under less stringent review policies. In particular, applications
for the export and reexport of medical items to Sudan were subject to
case-by-case review. Over time, consistent with U.S. foreign policy
initiatives, BIS instituted case-by case review or a general policy of
approval for additional categories of items. For example, acting in
coordination with the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC), in order to promote the free flow of
communications among the Sudanese people, in February 2015, BIS amended
Sec.  742.10 to establish a case-by-case review policy for
telecommunication equipment and associated items for civil end use,
including items useful for the development of civil telecommunications
infrastructure. See 80 FR 8520 (Feb. 18, 2015). Two years later, in
January 2017, in response to positive developments in the U.S.-Sudan
bilateral relationship, BIS amended Sec.  742.10, again in coordination
with OFAC, to institute a general policy of approval for certain items,
including parts, components, and equipment, that are controlled on the
CCL solely for AT reasons and are intended to ensure the safety of
civil aviation or the safe operation of fixed-wing commercial passenger
aircraft, as well as items controlled on the CCL solely for AT reasons
intended for use in the inspection and repair, among other activities,
of railroads in Sudan. See 82 FR 4781 (Jan. 17, 2017).
    BIS also made changes to license exception eligibility in
connection with foreign policy considerations and developments. In
February 2005, BIS amended License Exception Temporary imports,
exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) (TMP) to permit
temporary exports to Sudan of certain computers, communication devices,
and global positioning devices as ``tools of trade'' by employees and
staff of certain organizations engaged in humanitarian work in Sudan.
See 70 FR 8257 (Feb. 18, 2005) and 70 FR 9703 (Feb. 28, 2005). In
February 2008, BIS amended TMP again in connection with exports and
reexports destined for Sudan, including by expanding the number of
activities and commodities eligible under the ``tools of trade''
category, an action taken in part to reflect the changing nature of
humanitarian work undertaken in the country by nongovernmental
organizations. See 73 FR 10668 (Feb. 28, 2008). In January 2017, as
part of the same regulatory action described above that created a more
favorable license review policy for certain items for use in civil
aviation and railroad infrastructure in Sudan, BIS made License
Exception Consumer Communications Devices (CCD) eligible for the export
and reexport of certain consumer communications devices to Sudan.

C. Dual Licensing--BIS and OFAC

    For nearly twenty years, licenses from both BIS and OFAC were
required to export and reexport items on the CCL to Sudan as a
consequence of broad trade restrictions imposed in November 1997,

including restrictions on U.S. persons' exports of U.S.-origin items to
Sudan. Pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13067 of November 3, 1997,
the U.S. Government imposed a comprehensive trade embargo in response
to the Government of Sudan's policies and activities, including its
support for terrorism, efforts to destabilize neighboring governments,
and the prevalence of human rights violations. Specifically, this E.O.
blocked the property of the Government of Sudan subject to U.S.
jurisdiction and imposed restrictions on U.S. persons' activities with
respect to Sudan. On July 1, 1998, OFAC published the Sudanese
Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 538 (SSR), implementing these
restrictions. See 63 FR 35809 (July 1, 1998). Notably, as implemented
in the SSR, E.O. 13067 required the Department of the Treasury to
restrict the export or reexport to Sudan of goods, technology, or
services from the U.S. or by a U.S. person, wherever located, or
``requiring the issuance of a license by a Federal agency.'' See
Section 2(b) of E.O. 13067 and 31 CFR 538.205 (2017). This language
provided the basis for a dual licensing regime pursuant to which the
export and reexport of CCL items to Sudan required authorization by
both BIS and OFAC.
    On October 13, 2006, President George W. Bush issued E.O. 13412
following the enactment of the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act of
2006, a response to continuing atrocities in Sudan's Darfur Region.
This E.O. exempted certain regions in Sudan from several prohibitions
established pursuant to E.O. 13067, including those applicable to
exports, thereby effectively narrowing the scope of exports and
reexports of CCL items subject to dual licensing.

D. Termination of the Embargo

    In recognition of positive actions sustained by the Government of
Sudan in several areas, including enhanced cooperation with the U.S. on
counterterrorism efforts, effective October 12, 2017, President Donald
J. Trump revoked Sections 1 and 2 of E.O. 13067, along with E.O. 13412
in its entirety, pursuant to E.O. 13761 of January 13, 2017, as amended
by E.O. 13804 of July 11, 2017. Consequently, as of October 12, 2017,
U.S. persons were no longer prohibited from engaging in transactions
with respect to Sudan, including exports and reexports of items
destined for Sudan, or with the Government of Sudan, that had been
prohibited by the SSR. These actions generally established BIS as the
sole licensing agency for exports and reexports of items subject to the
EAR to Sudan. To reflect the revocation of these authorities, OFAC
removed the SSR from the Code of Federal Regulations on June 29, 2018.
OFAC only retained jurisdiction over certain exports and reexports of
agricultural commodities, medicine, and medical devices destined for
Sudan pursuant to the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act
of 2000, 22 U.S.C. Section 7201 et seq., and authorized the export and
reexport of such items through a general license incorporated into
Section 596.506 of the Terrorism List Governments Sanctions
Regulations, 31 CFR part 596.

II. Rescission-Related Developments

    Once a country is designated a State Sponsor of Terrorism, the
designation remains in effect until it is rescinded in accordance with
applicable law. On October 26, 2020, the President submitted to
Congress the statutorily-required report justifying the rescission, and
certifying that Sudan had not provided any support for acts of
international terrorism during the preceding six month period and that
Sudan had provided assurances that it would not support acts of
international terrorism in the future. Effective December 14, 2020, the
Secretary of State rescinded Sudan's designation as a SSOT, in
accordance with Sections 1754(c) and 1768(c) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (50 U.S.C. 4813(c) and 4826(c)),
and in satisfaction of the provisions of Section 620A(c) of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 (22. U.S.C. 2371(c)), Section 40(f) of the Arms
Export Control Act of 1976 (22 U.S.C. 2708(f)), and, to the extent
applicable, section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 (50
U.S.C. App. 2405(j)), as continued in effect by Executive Order 13222
of August 17, 2001. BIS is publishing this rule amending the EAR to
implement the rescission.
    On October 23, 2020, the date that President Trump notified
Congress of his intention to rescind the SSOT designation, the White
House heralded the development as marking the advancement of the United
States' bilateral relationship with Sudan and the ongoing efforts of
the civilian-led Sudanese transitional government toward democracy and
the achievement of regional peace. See October 23, 2020 Statement of
the Press Secretary on Sudan, available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-press-secretary-sudan/. As noted by
Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, President's Trump decision
``reflect[ed] the . . . transitional government's sustained efforts to
make sure there is no support for acts of international terrorism.''
See November 2, 2020 State Department Press Statement, ``Sudan Making
Progress,'' available at https://www.state.gov/sudan-making-progress/.

III. Specific Amendments in This Rule

A. Overview

    Consistent with the Secretary of State's rescission of Sudan's
designation as a SSOT, effective December 14, 2020, this rule removes
AT controls on the country and makes conforming changes to various EAR
provisions. First, this rule removes Sudan from Country Group E:1 in
Supplement No. 1 to part 740, the Country Group placement for terrorist
supporting countries. This action raises the de minimis level from 10
percent to 25 percent for most foreign-origin items located abroad that
are destined for Sudan. These changes make Sudan potentially eligible
for new license exceptions under the EAR. Second, this rule removes EAR
Sec.  742.10 (Anti-Terrorism: Sudan) in its entirety. Additionally, it
adds Sudan to Country Group B in Supplement No. 1 to part 740. As a
general matter, countries in Country Group B are eligible for a greater
number of license exceptions, and they are subject to relatively less
stringent license review policies. However, pursuant to this rule, two
license exceptions, License Exception Shipments to Country Group B
countries (GBS) (Sec.  740.4) and License Exception Technology and
software under restriction (TSR) (Sec.  740.6), will be unavailable for
exports and reexports to Sudan. Moreover, Sudan's continued placement
in Country Group D:5 (U.S. Arms Embargoed Countries) impacts the
availability of certain license exceptions in connection with items
controlled under certain Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs).
Finally, this rule makes conforming amendments to parts 734, 738, 748,
750, 772 and 774 of the EAR, and additional amendments to parts 740 and
742, consistent with the removal of AT controls, the country's removal
from Country Group E:1, and addition to Country Group B. Other
previously-existing license requirements remain intact.
    Conforming changes include the removal of all references to Sudan
from Supplement No. 2 to part 742, which specifies contract sanctity
dates and related licensing review policies for certain items destined
for countries subject to AT controls. This rule also amends License
Exceptions GBS and

TSR set forth in part 740 (License Exceptions) to state that they are
not available for Sudan. Additionally, it amends part 740 to remove
references to Sudan from three license exceptions. As detailed below,
these license exceptions had authorized exports and reexports of
certain CCL items to Sudan notwithstanding the imposition of AT
controls and the country's related placement in Country Group E:1.

B. Highlights of Key Changes

1. Changes to the Applicable De Minimis Level for Controlled U.S.-
Origin Content
    The EAR apply to foreign-made items located outside the United
States that contain more than a de minimis amount of controlled U.S.-
origin content by value. For most items, the de minimis level is 10
percent if the destination of the foreign-made item is in Country Group
E:1 and 25 percent if the destination is in any other Country Group.
The removal of Sudan from Country Group E:1 raises the de minimis level
to 25 percent for most items destined for Sudan. Additionally, this 25
percent de minimis level will apply to certain foreign-made encryption
items destined for Sudan that meet the criteria specified in Sec.
734.4(b)(1) of the EAR. Foreign-made items destined for Sudan that
incorporate U.S.-origin 9x515 or ``600 series'' paragraphs a. through
.x content will continue to be subject to the EAR regardless of the
level of U.S.-origin content, i.e., there is no de minimis level for
such items when they are destined for Sudan.
2. Applicable Controls and Related Licensing Policies
    Sudan will be subject to licensing requirements that apply to the
export and reexport of items on the multilateral export control regime
lists (the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the
Australia Group and the Missile Technology Control Regime) and
sensitive items controlled unilaterally for Crime Control (CC) or
Regional Stability (RS) reasons. These license requirements are set
forth in part 742 of the EAR and are reflected in the relevant columns
of the Country Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR. (See
``Xs'' reflecting the applicability of various multilateral and
unilateral controls on Sudan.) Other categories of items that are
controlled for reasons not included on the Country Chart (e.g.,
encryption (EI) and Chemical Weapons (CW)) will also require a license
for export or reexport to Sudan. End User and End-Use-based controls
set forth in part 744 of the EAR will also continue to apply. BIS will
review license applications for exports or reexports to Sudan on a
case-by-case basis pursuant to applicable licensing policies set forth
in parts 742 and 744, or elsewhere in the EAR. Exporters should also be
aware that the United States continues to maintain an arms embargo on
Sudan, as implemented in Country Group D:5, which also implements the
United Nations arms embargo, imposed in 2004, that applies to certain
items controlled for United Nations (UN) reasons that are destined for
the Darfur region in Sudan, as implemented in Sec.  746.1 of the EAR.
3. Changes to License Exceptions
    Consistent with the removal of AT controls on Sudan (and the
related removal of the country from Country Group E:1), BIS is amending
four license exceptions that make specific reference to Sudan or to
Sudanese nationals. Through revising three of these license exceptions
to reflect policy changes that occurred following Sudan's designation
as a SSOT, BIS had authorized certain categories of transactions that
were destined for Sudan notwithstanding the imposition of AT controls
and the country's related placement in Country Group E:1. BIS also
removes restrictions on releases to Sudanese nationals of technology
and source code pertaining to computers from a fourth license
exception.
License Exception Computers (APP)
    Sudan is removed from Sec.  740.7, paragraph (b)(2)(ii), which
restricts technology and source code from release to nationals of
Country Groups E:1 and E:2. The country is added to paragraph (d)(1)
(Computer Tier 3 destinations), which will permit the release of
technology and source code to Sudanese nationals up to the prescribed
limit.
License Exception Temporary Imports, Exports, Reexports, and Transfers
(In-Country) (TMP)
    Paragraph (a)(2) of Sec.  740.9, which referred to tools of the
trade (as identified in Sec.  740.19(b)) as exempted from paragraph
(a)(1) restrictions on Country Group E:1 when destined for Sudan, is no
longer applicable and is deleted.
License Exception Additional Permissive Reexports (APR)
    Paragraph (i) of Sec.  740.16, which authorized certain exports and
reexports of Anti-Terrorism controlled items to Sudan, is no longer
applicable and is deleted.
License Exception Consumer Communications Devices (CCD)
    Section 740.19 (Consumer Communications Devices) no longer requires
any reference to Sudan, as the eligible commodities and software
specified therein may now be exported and reexported (barring end-use
or end-user restrictions) to Sudan, including to the Sudanese
Government. In light of the U.S. Government's ``unblocking'' of the
Government of Sudan effective October 2017, the license exception's
reference to restrictions on the Government of Sudan is inapplicable.
This rule consequently removes the reference to Sudan in paragraph (a),
and in the introductory text to paragraph (b), which identified Sudan
as an eligible destination for this license exception. It also removes
paragraph (c)(iii), which identified the Government of Sudan as an
ineligible end-user for the license exception. Additionally, this rule
removes altogether paragraph (b)(18), which permitted the export and
reexport of items controlled under Export Control Classification Number
7A994 to Sudan only.
4. Availability of Other License Exceptions
    As an E:1 country, Sudan was eligible for only a limited number of
license exceptions. Many license exceptions contain restrictions that
apply to countries in Country Group E:1 or to nationals of such
countries. As a consequence of Sudan's removal from Country Group E:1,
Sudan and/or Sudanese nationals are newly eligible for several license
exceptions. No changes are required to the text of these license
exceptions, as they do not refer specifically to Sudan or to Sudanese
nationals. Additionally, as noted above, Sudan's addition to Country
Group B by this rule makes the country potentially available for a
broader range of license exceptions. However, BIS has determined that
exports and reexports to Sudan are not eligible for License Exceptions
GBS and TSR. This rule makes conforming changes in part 740 consistent
with that policy. Specifically, amendments in Sec. Sec.  740.4 and
740.6 clearly set forth that License Exceptions GBS and TSR,
respectively, are unavailable for Sudan. As with all license
exceptions, a specific transaction must meet all enumerated criteria,
and persons should ensure that the restrictions set forth in Sec.
740.2 (Restrictions on all license exceptions) do not apply. In
particular, persons should be aware of limitations on the availability
of license exceptions for exports and reexports to Sudan of items

in a 9x515 or ``600 series'' ECCN as set forth in paragraphs (a)(12)
and (13) of Sec.  740.2 that stem from Sudan's placement in Country
Group D:5.
5. Other U.S. Government Regulatory Obligations
    The amendments to the EAR made in this final rule do not apply to
regulatory requirements administered by other U.S. Government agencies,
such as OFAC and the Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade
Controls. In particular, U.S. persons should be aware of restrictions
that may apply to transactions involving the Darfur region of Sudan. On
October 30, 2020, President Trump continued in effect the national
emergency initially declared with respect to the Government of Sudan in
E.O. 13067, as expanded by subsequent E.O.s, including E.O. 13400 of
April 26, 2006, due to violence in Sudan's Darfur region. See
Presidential Notice, 85 FR 69463 (Nov. 2, 2020). OFAC administers
sanctions on individuals and entities in connection with the conflict
in Darfur based on this national emergency. See Darfur Sanctions
Regulations, 31 CFR part 546. OFAC may also designate Sudanese persons
under authorities apart from E.O. 13067 and E.O. 13400 and add such
persons to the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked
Persons (SDN List), available at https://www.treasury.gov/ofac.
Additional information regarding OFAC's sanctions programs may be
located at https://www.treasury.gov/ofac.

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S.
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which
included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA), 50 U.S.C.
Sections 4801-4852. ECRA provides the legal basis for BIS's principal
authorities and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this
rule.

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, distribute 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 final rule has been designated a ``significant
regulatory action'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.
    2. This final rule is not subject to the requirements of E.O. 13771
(82 FR 9339 (February 3, 2017)) because it is issued with respect to a
national security function of the United States. In particular, this
rule implements an important U.S. foreign policy change, the rescission
of Sudan's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, that is closely
linked with U.S. national security and regional security objectives.
The amendments to the EAR made by this rule are consistent with the
rescission and therefore serve U.S. foreign policy and national
security interests.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    4. Pursuant to section 1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of
2018 (50 U.S.C. 4821), this action is exempt from the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of proposed
rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in
effective date.
    5. 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.
    6. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person may be
required to respond to or 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 a
collection currently approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088,
Simplified Network Application Processing System. The collection
includes, among other things, license applications, and carries a
burden estimate of 42.5 minutes for a manual or electronic submission
for a total burden estimate of 31,878 hours. BIS expects the burden
hour estimates associated with this collection to decrease slightly, as
the removal of Anti-terrorism controls on Sudan should result in the
submission of fewer license applications. Any comments regarding the
collection of information associated with this rule, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, should be sent within 30 days of
publication of this notice to http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
Find this particular information collection by selecting ``Currently
under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search
function.

                Control(s)                         1 to part 738)

CB applies to entire entry................  CB Column 2

    CW applies to 1C350 .b, and .c. The Commerce Country Chart is
not designed to determine licensing requirements for items
controlled for CW reasons. A license is required, for CW reasons, to
export or reexport Schedule 2 chemicals and mixtures identified in
1C350.b to States not Party to the CWC (destinations not listed in
Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the EAR). A license is required, for
CW reasons, to export Schedule 3 chemicals and mixtures identified
in 1C350.c to States not Party to the CWC, unless an End-Use
Certificate issued by the government of the importing country has
been obtained by the exporter prior to export. A license is
required, for CW reasons, to reexport Schedule 3 chemicals and
mixtures identified in 1C350.c from a State not Party to the CWC to
any other State not Party to the CWC. (See Sec.  742.18 of the EAR
for license requirements and policies for toxic and precursor
chemicals controlled for CW reasons. See Sec.  745.2 of the EAR for
End-Use Certificate requirements that apply to exports of Schedule 3
chemicals to countries not listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of
the EAR.)
    AT applies to entire entry. The Commerce Country Chart is not
designed to determine licensing requirements for items controlled
for AT reasons in 1C350. A license is required, for AT reasons, to
export or reexport items controlled by 1C350 to a country in Country
Group E:1 of Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR. (See part 742
of the EAR for additional information on the AT controls that apply
to Iran, North Korea, and Syria. See part 746 of the EAR for
additional information on sanctions that apply to Iran, North Korea,
and Syria.)

License Requirement Notes

    1. SAMPLE SHIPMENTS: Subject to the following requirements and
restrictions, a license is not required for sample shipments when
the cumulative total of these shipments does not exceed a 55-gallon
container or 200 kg of a single chemical to any one consignee during
a calendar year. A consignee that receives a sample shipment under
this exclusion may not resell, transfer, or reexport the sample
shipment, but may use the sample shipment for any other legal
purpose unrelated to chemical weapons.
    a. Chemicals Not Eligible:
    A. [Reserved]
    B. CWC Schedule 2 chemicals (States not Party to the CWC). No
CWC Schedule 2 chemical or mixture identified in 1C350.b is eligible
for sample shipment to States not Party to the CWC (destinations not
listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the EAR) without a
license.
    b. Countries Not Eligible: Countries in Country Group E:1 of
Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR are not eligible to receive
sample shipments of any chemicals controlled by this ECCN without a
license.
    c. Sample shipments that require an End-Use Certificate for CW
reasons: No CWC Schedule 3 chemical or mixture identified in 1C350.c
is eligible for sample shipment to States not Party to the CWC
(destinations not listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the EAR)
without a license, unless an End-Use Certificate issued by the
government of the importing country is obtained by the exporter
prior to export (see Sec.  745.2 of the EAR for End-Use Certificate
requirements).
    d. Sample shipments that require a license for reasons set forth
elsewhere in the EAR: Sample shipments, as described in this Note 1,
may require a license for reasons set forth elsewhere in the EAR.
See, in particular, the end-use/end-user restrictions in part 744 of
the EAR, and the restrictions that apply to embargoed countries in
part 746 of the EAR.
    e. Annual report requirement. The exporter is required to submit
an annual written report for shipments of samples made under this
Note 1. The report must be on company letterhead stationery (titled
``Report of

Sample Shipments of Chemical Precursors'' at the top of the first
page) and identify the chemical(s), Chemical Abstract Service
Registry (C.A.S.) number(s), quantity(ies), the ultimate consignee's
name and address, and the date of export for all sample shipments
that were made during the previous calendar year. The report must be
submitted no later than February 28 of the year following the
calendar year in which the sample shipments were made, to: U.S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, 14th Street
and Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Room 2099B, Washington, DC 20230, Attn:
``Report of Sample Shipments of Chemical Precursors.''
    2. MIXTURES:
    a. Mixtures that contain precursor chemicals identified in ECCN
1C350, in concentrations that are below the levels indicated in
1C350.b through .d, are controlled by ECCN 1C395 or 1C995 and are
subject to the licensing requirements specified in those ECCNs.
    b. A license is not required under this ECCN for a mixture, when
the controlled chemical in the mixture is a normal ingredient in
consumer goods packaged for retail sale for personal use. Such
consumer goods are designated EAR99. However, a license may be
required for reasons set forth elsewhere in the EAR.

    Note to Mixtures: Calculation of concentrations of AG-controlled
chemicals:
    a. Exclusion. No chemical may be added to the mixture (solution)
for the sole purpose of circumventing the Export Administration
Regulations;
    b. Percent Weight Calculation. When calculating the percentage,
by weight, of ingredients in a chemical mixture, include all
ingredients of the mixture, including those that act as solvents.

    3. COMPOUNDS. Compounds created with any chemicals identified in
this ECCN 1C350 may be shipped NLR (No License Required), without
obtaining an End-Use Certificate, unless those compounds are also
identified in this entry or require a license for reasons set forth
elsewhere in the EAR.
    4. TESTING KITS: Certain medical, analytical, diagnostic, and
food testing kits containing small quantities of chemicals
identified in this ECCN 1C350, are excluded from the scope of this
ECCN and are controlled under ECCN 1C395 or 1C995. (Note that
replacement reagents for such kits are controlled by this ECCN 1C350
if the reagents contain one or more of the precursor chemicals
identified in 1C350 in concentrations equal to or greater than the
control levels for mixtures indicated in 1C350.)

    Technical Notes:
    1. For purposes of this entry, a ``mixture'' is defined as a
solid, liquid or gaseous product made up of two or more ingredients
that do not react together under normal storage conditions.
    2. The scope of this control applicable to Hydrogen Fluoride
(see 1C350.d.14 in the List of Items Controlled) includes its
liquid, gaseous, and aqueous phases, and hydrates.
    3. Precursor chemicals in ECCN 1C350 are listed by name,
Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number and CWC Schedule (where
applicable). Precursor chemicals of the same structural formula
(e.g., hydrates) are controlled by ECCN 1C350, regardless of name or
CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying whether a
particular precursor chemical or mixture is controlled under ECCN
1C350, irrespective of nomenclature. However, CAS numbers cannot be
used as unique identifiers in all situations because some forms of
the listed precursor chemical have different CAS numbers, and
mixtures containing a precursor chemical listed in ECCN 1C350 may
also have different CAS numbers.

License Requirements

Reason for Control: CW, AT.
Control(s)

    CW applies to entire entry. The Commerce Country Chart is not
designed to determine licensing requirements for items controlled
for CW reasons. A license is required to export or reexport CWC
Schedule 2 chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C355.a to States
not Party to the CWC (destinations not listed in Supplement No. 2 to
part 745 of the EAR). A license is required to export CWC Schedule 3
chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C355.b to States not Party to
the CWC, unless an End Use Certificate issued by the government of
the importing country is obtained by the exporter, prior to export.
A license is required to reexport CWC Schedule 3 chemicals and
mixtures identified in 1C355.b from a State not Party to the CWC to
any other State not Party to the CWC. (See Sec.  742.18 of the EAR
for license requirements and policies for toxic and precursor
chemicals controlled for CW reasons.)
    AT applies to entire entry. The Commerce Country Chart is not
designed to determine licensing requirements for items controlled
for AT reasons in 1C350. A license is required, for AT reasons, to
export or reexport items controlled by 1C350 to a country in Country
Group E:1 of Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR. (See part 742
of the EAR for additional information on the AT controls that apply
to Iran, North Korea, and Syria. See part 746 of the EAR for
additional information on sanctions that apply to Iran, North Korea,
and Syria.)

License Requirements Notes:

    1. MIXTURES:
    a. Mixtures containing toxic and precursor chemicals identified
in ECCN 1C355, in concentrations that are below the control levels
indicated in 1C355.a and .b, are controlled by ECCN 1C995 and are
subject to the license requirements specified in that ECCN.
    b. Mixtures containing chemicals identified in this entry are
not controlled by ECCN 1C355 when the controlled chemical is a
normal ingredient in consumer goods packaged for retail sale for
personal use or packaged for individual use. Such consumer goods are
classified as EAR99.

    Note to mixtures: Calculation of concentrations of CW-controlled
chemicals:
    a. Exclusion. No chemical may be added to the mixture (solution)
for the sole purpose of circumventing the Export Administration
Regulations;
    b. Percent Weight Calculation. When calculating the percentage,
by weight, of ingredients in a chemical mixture, include all
ingredients of the mixture, including those that act as solvents.

    2. COMPOUNDS: Compounds created with any chemicals identified in
this ECCN 1C355 may be shipped NLR (No License Required), without
obtaining an End-Use Certificate, unless those compounds are also
identified in this entry or require a license for reasons set forth
elsewhere in the EAR.

    Technical Notes: For purposes of this entry, a ``mixture'' is
defined as a solid, liquid or gaseous product made up of two or more
ingredients that do not react together under normal storage
conditions.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31490; Amdt. No. 4063]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective June 21, 2023. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of June 21, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30. 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Information Services, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, email
[email protected] or go to: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed
on FAA form documents which are incorporated by reference in this
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20.
The applicable FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B,
when required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the typed of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
