Abstract of proposed collection: The
export, temporary import, and brokering
of defense articles, defense services, and
related technical data are licensed by
the Directorate of Defense Trade
Controls (DDTC) in accordance with the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (‘‘ITAR,’’ 22 CFR 120–130)
and Section 38 of the Arms Export
Control Act.
ITAR § 126.18 eliminates, subject to
certain conditions, the requirement for
an approval by DDTC of the transfer of
unclassified defense articles, which
includes technical data, within a foreign
business entity, foreign governmental
entity, or international organization,
that is an approved or otherwise
authorized end-user or consignee
(including transfers to approved sublicensees) for defense articles, including
the transfer to dual nationals or thirdcountry nationals who are bona fide
regular employees directly employed by
the foreign consignee or end-user.
To use ITAR § 126.18, effective
procedures must be in place to prevent
diversion to any destination, entity, or
for purposes other than those authorized
by the applicable export license or other
authorization. Those conditions can be
met by requiring a security clearance
approved by the host nation government
for its employees, or the end-user or
consignee have in place a process to
screen all its employees and to have
executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement
that provides assurances that the
employee will not transfer any defense
articles to persons or entities unless
specifically authorized by the consignee
or end-user. ITAR § 126.18 also provides
that the technology security/clearance
plan, screening records, and NonDisclosure Agreements will be made
available to DDTC or its agents for law
enforcement purposes upon request.
Methodology: This information
collection may be sent to the Directorate
of Defense Trade Controls via the
following methods: electronically or
mail.

Council, requests expert review of the
draft World Ocean Assessment.
The United Nations (UN) has
embarked on a regular process for global
reporting on, and assessment of, the
state of the marine environment,
including socioeconomic aspects, the
product of which is called the World
Ocean Assessment (WOA). The
projected completion date for the first
WOA is December 2014. Subsequent
WOAs are expected to be generated
every five years in order to document
trends in the state of the marine
environment. The WOA includes more
than fifty subjects grouped within four
main themes: marine environment and
understanding of the ocean’s role in the
global integrated Earth system; food
security and food safety; human
activities that influence the ocean or are
influenced by the ocean; and marine
biological diversity. A scientific and
technical summary will integrate
content to show linkages through
interdisciplinary subjects such as
human impacts, ecosystem services, and
habitats. More information regarding the
evolution and methodology of the WOA
can be found at
www.worldoceanassessment.org.
This fall, UN Member States will have
an opportunity to review the draft
WOA, which is expected to be
comprised of 50 chapters
(approximately 15 pages each) and a 70page technical summary; the outline
illustrates the very wide range of
expertise needed for such review. The
Department of State invites experts in
relevant fields of expertise to participate
in the U.S. Government review of the
draft WOA. Beginning on 1 August
2014, experts may register to review the
draft WOA at review.globalchange.gov, a
Web-based review and comment system.
Registered experts will have access to
the draft WOA on 2 September 2014 and
will have until midnight 30 September
2014 to submit their review comments
using the Web-based review and
comment system. Detailed instructions
for review and submission of comments
are available at review.globalchange.gov.
A Review Coordination Team
comprised of Federal scientists and
program managers will develop a
consolidated U.S. Government review
submission. Only comments received
via the Web-based review and comment
system within the comment period will
be considered by the Review
Coordination Team for inclusion in the
U.S. Government review submission.
This certification will be published in
the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
EIS for the proposed Space Exploration
Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) Texas
Launch Site evaluates the potential
environmental impacts that may result
from the FAA Proposed Action of
issuing launch licenses and/or
experimental permits that would allow
SpaceX to launch the Falcon 9, Falcon
Heavy, and a variety of reusable
suborbital launch vehicles from a
launch site on privately owned property
in Cameron County, Texas. SpaceX
would be required to apply to the FAA
for the appropriate launch licenses and/
or experimental permits. Under the
Proposed Action, which is the Preferred
Alternative, SpaceX proposes to
construct a vertical launch area and a
control center area to support up to 12
commercial launch operations per year
with a maximum of two Falcon Heavy
launches. Launch operations include
not only launches, but also pre-flight
activities such as mission rehearsals and
static fire engine tests. The
environmental analysis in the EIS
focuses on proposed construction and
operational activities associated with
the FAA’s Proposed Action (issuing
launch licenses and/or experimental
permits to SpaceX) and includes all
related actions considered connected to
the Proposed Action. Alternatives under
consideration include the Proposed
Action and the No Action Alternative.
Under the No Action Alternative, the
FAA would not issue licenses and/or
experimental permits to SpaceX, and
Space X would not construct the
