RIN 0694-AB67
Corrections to Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations
AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 18, 1999, the Bureau of Export Administration published
an interim rule (64 FR 27138 ) implementing the export control
provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention. This rule corrects
inadvertent errors that appeared in the May 18 rule.
DATES: This rule is effective May 28, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Crowe, Regulatory Policy
Division, Bureau of Export Administration, at (202) 482-2440.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Although the Export Administration Act (EAA)
expired on August 20, 1994, the President invoked the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act and continued in effect the EAR, and, to
the extent permitted by law, the provisions of the EAA in Executive
Order 12924 of August 19, 1994, extended by Presidential notice of
August 13, 1998 (63 FR 55121, August 17, 1998).
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This interim rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of E.O. 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure
to comply with a collection of information, subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number. This rule involves a collection of
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.). These collections have been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget under control number 0694-0088.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under
Executive Order 12612.
4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
[[Page 28909]]
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable
because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs
function of the United States (Sec. 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no
other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an
opportunity for public comment be given for this rule. Accordingly, it
is issued in final form.
