SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Throughout this document, whenever ``we,'' ``us,'' or ``our'' is
used, we mean EPA. On July 3, 2012 (77 FR 39456), EPA published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Delaware. The NPR
proposed approval of Delaware's submittal that provides the basic
elements specified in section 110(a)(2) of the CAA, or portions
thereof, necessary to implement, maintain, and enforce the 2008 lead
NAAQS.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    On October 17, 2011, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources
and Environmental Control submitted a SIP revision that addresses the
infrastructure elements specified in section 110(a)(2) of the CAA,
necessary to implement, maintain and enforce the 2008 lead NAAQS. This
submittal addressed the following infrastructure elements of section
110(a)(2): (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), (I), (J), (K), (L),
and (M).
    Specific requirements of section 110(a)(2) of the CAA and the
rationale for EPA's proposed action to approve the SIP submittal are
explained in the NPR and the technical support document (TSD) and will
not be restated here. No public comments were received on the NPR.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving Delaware's submittal which provides the basic
program elements specified in section 110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E),
(F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L), and (M) of the CAA, or portions thereof,
necessary to implement, maintain, and enforce the 2008 lead NAAQS, as a
revision to the Delaware SIP. This action is being taken under section
110 of the CAA. This action does not include the sections, or portions
thereof, of 110(a)(2)(C) and 110(a)(2)(I) of the CAA which pertain to
the nonattainment requirements of part D, Title I of the CAA, since
these two elements are not required to be submitted by the 3-year
submission deadline of CAA section 110(a)(1), and will be addressed in
a separate process. Additionally, EPA is taking separate action on the
portions of CAA section 110(a)(2) infrastructure elements for the 2008
lead NAAQS as they relate to Delaware's Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) program, as required by part C of Title I of the
CAA which include the following infrastructure elements: CAA section
110(a)(2)(C), (D) and (J). See 77 FR 45527 (August 1, 2012).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office

of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 9, 2012. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action.
    This action pertaining to Delaware's section 110(a)(2)
infrastructure elements for the 2008 lead NAAQS, may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 906-006]

Virginia Electric & Power Company; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment

August 23, 2007.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for
the Cushaw Hydroelectric Project, located on the James River, near the
Town of Glasgow, Virginia, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA). In the EA, Commission staff, analyze potential environmental
effects of relicensing the project and conclude that issuing a new
license for the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available
for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's
Web site at  http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online
Support at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676,

Amendment 39-17428; AD 2013-08-11]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 737-900 and -900ER series airplanes. This AD
was prompted by reports of early fatigue cracks at chem-mill areas on
the crown skin panels. This AD requires repetitive inspections for
cracking of the fuselage skin along chem-mill steps at certain crown
skin and shear wrinkle areas, and repair if necessary. We are issuing
this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the skin panel at the
specified chem-mill step locations, which could result in rapid
decompression of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective May 30, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of May 30, 2013.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact
Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Attention: Data & Services Management,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 18, 2012 (77
FR 57539). That NPRM proposed to require repetitive inspections for
cracking of the fuselage skin along chem-mill steps at certain crown
skin and shear wrinkle areas, and repair if necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(77 FR 57539, September 18, 2012) and the FAA's response to each
comment.

Request to Revise Federal Aviation Regulations Citations

    Boeing stated that references to section 129.109(c)(2) of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 129.109(c)(2)) are incorrect,
since that paragraph does not exist in the current revision of the
Federal Aviation Regulations and that the correct paragraph reference
is section 129.109(b)(2). Boeing noted that this error occurred in the
second paragraph of the ``Differences Between the Proposed AD and the
Service Information'' section, and in Note 1 to paragraph (l) of the
proposed AD (77 FR 57539, September 18, 2012).
    We agree that the specified references are incorrect. We agree that
the citation in the proposed AD (77 FR 57539, September 18, 2012) is
inaccurate, but since that section of the preamble does not reappear in
this AD, no corresponding change to this AD is necessary. We have
corrected the citation in Note 1 to paragraph (l) of this AD.

Winglet Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Comment

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that the installation of winglets
per STC ST00830SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory--and--Guidance--
Library/

rgstc.nsf/0/
408E012E008616A7862578880060456C?OpenDocument&Highlight=st00830se) does
not affect the actions specified in the NPRM (77 FR 57539, September
18, 2012).
    We concur. We have added paragraph (c)(2) to this AD to state that
installation of STC ST00830SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/408E012E008616A7862578880060456C?OpenDocument&Highlight=st00830se) does
not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD.
Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST00830SE is installed, a
``change in product'' alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval
request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR
39.17.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 57539, September 18, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 57539, September 18, 2012).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 58 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    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.

Regulatory Findings

    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 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.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

2012-0935; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-256-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective May 30, 2013.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-900 and -
900ER series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified
in Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1312, dated October 21, 2011, as

does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by
this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST00830SE is
installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association
(ATA) of America Code 53; Fuselage.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of early fatigue cracks at chem-
mill areas on the crown skin panels. We are issuing this AD to
detect and correct fatigue cracking of the skin panel at the
specified chem-mill step locations, which could result in rapid
decompression of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

[Docket No. 120416415-2415-01]
RIN 0694-AF57

Addition of Certain Persons to the Entity List; and
Implementation of Entity List Annual Review Changes

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
by adding to the Entity List two persons who 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 persons will be
listed on the Entity List under the country of France.
    This rule also amends the Entity List on the basis of the annual
review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee
(ERC). The ERC conducts the annual review to determine if any entries
on the Entity List should be removed or modified. This rule reflects
the results of the ERC's annual review of fifteen countries, i.e.
Armenia, Belarus, Egypt, Germany, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Kuwait,
Lebanon, Norway, Russia, South Korea, Syria, the United Arab Emirates
(U.A.E.), and the United Kingdom (U.K.). As a result of these reviews,
this rule makes amendments to the Entity List including: The removal of
three entries (one each in Germany, South Korea, and the United Arab
Emirates (U.A.E.)); the addition of four entities (one each in Canada,
Egypt, France and the United Kingdom); and the amendments of seventeen
entries to provide alternate addresses, alternate spellings of names,
and/or aliases for listed persons. The amended entries are in Armenia,
Germany, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and the U.A.E. sections of the Entity
List.
    The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports,
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to entities identified on the
Entity List require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS) and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions
is limited.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective April 25, 2012.

Review Committee, Office of the Assistant Secretary, Export
Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744) provides notice to
the public that certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country)
to entities identified on the Entity List require a license from the
Bureau of Industry and Security and that the availability of license
exceptions in such transactions is limited. Entities are placed on the
Entity List on the basis of certain sections of part 744 (Control
Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) of the EAR.
    The ERC, composed of representatives of the Departments of Commerce
(Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, when 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 Entity 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 two persons,
located in France, to the Entity List on the basis of Section 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 ERC reviewed Section 744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the
Entity List) in making the determination to add the two persons located
in France to the Entity List. Under that paragraph, persons for which
there is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable
facts, that the persons 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 and those acting on behalf of such persons may be added
to the Entity List pursuant to Section 744.11. Paragraphs (b)(1)-(b)(5)
of Section 744.11 include an illustrative list of activities that could
be contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the
United States.
    The ERC has reasonable cause to believe that the two persons in
France (one company and one individual, an employee of the company)
have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being
or becoming involved in, activities that could be contrary to the
national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.
Specifically, BIS's investigation of the company, Toulouse Air Spares
SAS, indicates direct physical and corporate nexus with Aerotechnic
France SAS, an Entity List person (76 FR 37632, 6/28/2011). Therefore,
pursuant to Section 744.11(b)(5) of the EAR, the ERC determined that
the company Toulouse Air Spares SAS and Laurence Mattiucci, the
company's president, are engaging in conduct that poses a risk of
violating the EAR and that such conduct raises sufficient concern that
prior review of exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) of items
subject to the EAR involving either of the two persons, and the
possible imposition of license conditions or license denials, will
enhance BIS's ability to prevent violations of the EAR.
    For both of the persons added to the Entity List, the ERC specified
a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and established
a license application review policy of a presumption of denial. The
license requirement applies to any transaction in which items are to be
exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) to such 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 those
persons being added to the Entity List.
    This final rule adds the following two persons to the Entity List:

France

    (1) Toulouse Air Spares SAS, 8 Rue de la Bruyere, 31120 Pinsaguel,
Toulouse, France; and
    (2) Laurence Mattiucci, 8 Rue de la Bruyere, 31120 Pinsaguel,
Toulouse, France.

Annual Review of the Entity List

    This rule also amends the Entity List on the basis of the annual
review of the

Entity List conducted by the ERC, in accordance with the procedures
outlined in Supplement No. 5 to part 744 (Procedures for End-User
Review Committee Entity List Decisions). The changes from the annual
review of the Entity List that are approved by the ERC are implemented
in stages as the ERC completes its review of entities listed under
different destinations on the Entity List. This rule implements the
results of the annual review for entities listed under Armenia,
Germany, Iran, Lebanon, South Korea, Syria, and the U.A.E.
A. Removals From the Entity List Based on the Annual Review
    This rule removes two entities from the Entity List, consisting of
one entity from Germany and one entity from South Korea, on the basis
of the annual review of the Entity List. Specifically, this rule
implements the decision of the ERC to remove the following two
entities:

Germany

    (1) Akbar Ashraf Vaghefi, Koburgerstr 10, D-10825, Berlin, Germany.

South Korea

    (1) WASTEC, Inc., a.k.a., With Advanced Systemic Technology, Room
3303, 3304, Na-Dong Chungang Circulation Complex, 1258,
Gurobon-Dong, Guro-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
    The removal of the above-referenced two entities from the Entity
List eliminates the existing license requirements in Supplement No. 4
to part 744 for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to the
two entities. However, the removal of these two entities 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 section 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.
    This rule, pursuant to the ERC's annual review, also removes a
third entity from the Entity List, consisting of one entry from the
U.A.E. However, this person's name will be added as an alias for
another person listed on the Entity List, also under the U.A.E.
Therefore, this removal does not remove license requirements for this
person. Instead, the addition of the entry as an alias to another
listed entity will more clearly identify the relationship between these
two persons listed on the Entity List. Specifically, this rule
consolidates the entry for ``S. Basheer'' (i.e., removes and adds to
another entry on the Entity List) as a new alias for the revised
``Shaji Muhammed Basheer'' entry, as follows:

United Arab Emirates

    (1) Shaji Muhammed Basheer, a.k.a., the following alias:

--S. Basheer.
Shop No. 3 & 4, Sharafia Ahmed Ali Bldg., Al Nakheel St., Deira, P.O.
Box 171978, Dubai, U.A.E.

B. Modifications to the Entity List Based on the Annual Review

    On the basis of decisions made by the ERC during the annual review,
in addition to modifying the U.A.E. entry as described above, this rule
amends sixteen entries currently on the Entity List, consisting of one
entry under Armenia, three entries under Germany, ten entries under
Iran, one entry under Lebanon, and one entry under Syria, to provide
alternate addresses, alternate spellings for the names of the listed
persons, and/or aliases, as follows:

C. Additions to the Entity List on the Basis of the Annual Review and
Section 744.11

    Finally, on the basis of decisions made by the ERC during the
annual review, this rule adds four persons to the Entity List,
consisting of one person in Canada, one person in Egypt, one person in
France, and one person in the U.K. The decision to add these four
persons was made during the annual review and is based on Section
744.11 of the EAR. Similar to the process outlined above for the other
Section 744.11 additions described in this rule, the ERC as part of the
annual review process reviewed Section 744.11(b) in making the
determination to add these four persons.
    These four persons are believed to have been involved in activities
described under paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of Section 744.11.
Specifically, the two persons located in Canada and Egypt are being
added because of their affiliation with EKT Electronics, a person
currently listed on the Entity List under Lebanon and Syria. BIS first
included EKT Electronics as a listed person under General Order No. 3,
which was first published on June 5, 2006, and subsequently amended on
September 6, 2006. General Order No. 3 listed persons concerning whom
the U.S. Government possessed information regarding the acquisition or
attempted acquisition of electronic components and devices capable of
being used in improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used against
Coalition Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. These two persons being added
are not aliases of EKT Electronics, but are believed to be affiliated
and involved in the same types of activities of concern under
paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of Section 744.11 and therefore also
warrant being added to the Entity List.
    Similarly, the two persons located in France and the U.K. are being
added to the Entity List as a result of their affiliation with IKCO
Trading GmbH (IKCO), a person currently on the Entity List under
Germany. The French and the U.K. persons are involved in the same types
of Section 744.11 activities that resulted in IKCO being added to the
Entity List on September 22, 2008 (73 FR 54507). BIS first included
IKCO as a listed person under General Order No. 3, which was first
published on June 5, 2006, and subsequently amended on September 6,
2006. As noted above, General Order No. 3 listed persons concerning
whom the U.S. Government possessed information regarding the
acquisition or attempted acquisition of electronic components and
devices capable of being used in IEDs used against Coalition Forces in
Iraq and Afghanistan. These two persons being added are not aliases of
IKCO, but are believed to be affiliated and involved in the same types
of activities of concern under paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of Section
744.11 and therefore also warrant being added to the Entity List.
    For the four persons added to the Entity List on the basis of the
annual review, the ERC specified a license requirement for all items
subject to the EAR and established a license application review policy
of a presumption of denial. The license requirement applies to any
transaction in which items are to be exported, reexported, or
transferred (in-country) to such 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 those persons being added to
the Entity List.
    This final rule adds the following four persons to the Entity List:

Canada

    (1) EKT 2, Inc.,

371 Renforth Drive, Etobicoke M9C 2L8, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Egypt

    (1) AL-AMIR ELECTRONICS,

46 Falaki St. BabLouk Area, Cairo, Egypt.

France

    (1) IKCO France,

147 Avenue Charles de Gaulle, 92200, Neuilly-Sur-Seine, France.

United Kingdom

    (1) IKCO Finance,

6 Lothbury, London, England, EC2R 7HH.

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 April 25, 2012, 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).
    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 12,
2011, 76 FR 50661 (August 16, 2011), 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.

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 the OMB under control numbers 0694-
0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour
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. 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, then 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, because these parties may
receive notice of the U.S. Government's intention to place these
entities on the Entity List once a final rule was published, it 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54948; File No. S7-12-01]

Order Extending Temporary Exemption of Banks From the Definition
of ``Broker'' Under Section 3(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934

December 18, 2006.

I. Background

    The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (``GLBA'') repealed the blanket
exception of banks from the definitions of ``broker'' and ``dealer''
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') \1\ and
replaced it with functional exceptions incorporated in amended
definitions of ``broker'' and ``dealer.'' Under the GLBA, banks that
engage in securities activities either must conduct those activities
through a registered broker-dealer or ensure that their securities
activities fit within the terms of a functional exception to the
amended definition of ``broker.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ As defined in Exchange Act Sections 3(a)(4) and 3(a)(5) [15
U.S.C. 78c(a)(4) and 78c(a)(5)].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The GLBA provided that the amended definitions of ``broker'' and
``dealer'' were to become effective May 12, 2001. Starting on May 11,
2001, in connection with various rulemaking proposals,\2\ the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') extended, most
recently until January 15, 2007, a temporary exemption that gave banks
time to come into full compliance with the more narrowly-tailored
exceptions from broker-dealer registration under the GLBA.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Definition of Terms in and Specific Exemptions for
Banks, Savings Associations, and Savings Banks Under Sections
3(a)(4) and 3(a)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Exchange
Act Release No. 44291 (May 11, 2001), 66 FR 27760 (May 18, 2001)
(the ``Interim Rules''). See also Exchange Act Release No. 49879
(June 17, 2004), 69 FR 39682 (June 30, 2004) (``Regulation B''). In
the Interim Rules, the Commission adopted Exchange Act Rule 15a-7,
17 CFR 240.15a-7, which, as proposed to be amended, would provide
banks and other financial institutions until January 1, 2006, to
begin complying with the GLBA. In proposing Regulation B, the
Commission proposed Rule 781 as a re-designation of Rule 15a-7. See
17 CFR 242.781.
    \3\ See Exchange Act Release No. 44570 (July 18, 2001); Exchange
Act Release No. 45897 (May 8, 2002); Exchange Act Release No. 46751
(Oct. 30, 2002); Exchange Act Release No. 47649 (April 8, 2003);
Exchange Act Release No. 50618 (Nov. 1, 2004); Exchange Act Release
No. 51328 (March 8, 2005); Exchange Act Release No. 52405 (Sept. 9,
2005); and Exchange Act Release No. 54544 (September 29, 2006), 71
FR 58891 (October 5, 2006) (extending the exemption from the
definition of ``broker'' until January 15, 2006); During this time,
the Commission also extended the temporary exemption from the
definition of ``dealer'' to September 30, 2003. See Exchange Act
Release No. 47366 (Feb. 13, 2003). On February 13, 2003, the
Commission adopted amendments to certain parts of the Interim Rules
that define terms used in the dealer exceptions, as well as certain
dealer exemptions (``Dealer Release''), see Exchange Act Release No.
47364 (Feb. 13, 2003), 68 FR 8686 (Feb. 24, 2003). Therefore, this
order is limited to an extension of the temporary exemption from the
definition of ``broker.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 13, 2006, President Bush signed into law the ``Financial
Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 (``Regulatory Relief
Act'').''\4\ Among other things, the Regulatory Relief Act requires the
Commission and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
(``Board'') jointly to adopt final rules implementing the bank broker
exceptions in Section 3(a)(4) of the Exchange Act. It also requires
that within 180 days of passage of the Regulatory Relief Act, the
Commission and the Board jointly issue proposed rules.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Pub. L. 109-351, 120 Stat. 1966 (2006).
    \5\ Under the Regulatory Relief Act, a final single set of rules
or regulations jointly adopted in accordance with that Act shall
supersede any other proposed or final rule issued by the Commission
on or after the date of enactment of Section 201 of the GLBA with
regard to the definition of ``broker'' under Exchange Act Section
3(a)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with the Regulatory Relief Act, the Commission today
proposes implementing rules jointly with the Board.\6\ As a result, the
Commission is also granting banks \7\ an exemption from compliance with
the definition of broker until July 2, 2007, to permit the Commission
and the Board time to receive comments, evaluate the comments on the
implementing rules, and to take final action on the implementing rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Exchange Act Release No. 54946 (Dec. 18, 2006).
    \7\ Section 401 of the Regulatory Relief Act also amended the
definition of ``bank'' in Section 3(a)(6) of the Exchange Act to
include any Federal savings association or other savings association
the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC. Accordingly, as used
in this order, the term ``bank'' includes any savings association
that qualifies as a ``bank'' under Section 3(a)(6) of the Exchange
Act, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Extension of Temporary Exemption From Definition of ``Broker'

    In connection with the proposal of the implementing rules pursuant
to the Regulatory Relief Act, the Commission finds that extending the
temporary exemption for banks from the definition of ``broker'' is
necessary and appropriate in the public interest, and is consistent
with the protection of investors. In connection with this extension,
the Commission notes that the implementing rules are being proposed
with a request for comment and that the Commission and the Board will
need time to give careful consideration to the comments and determine
what changes, if any, should be made to the implementing rules.
Recognizing that banks will need substantial time to come into
compliance with final rules adopted by the Commission and the Board, we
believe that extending the exemption from the definition of ``broker''
for banks until July 2, 2007, will prevent banks from unnecessarily
incurring costs to comply before final implementing rules are jointly
adopted. Further, the extension will give the Commission and the Board
time to consider fully comments received on the implementing rules and
take any final action on the proposal as necessary.

III. Conclusion

    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 36 of the Exchange Act,\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78mm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is hereby ordered that banks are exempt from the definition of
the term ``broker'' under the Exchange Act until July 2, 2007.

    By the Commission.
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.
