ATTN: Regulatory Change, Exports to
Fiji.
SUMMARY:
The
Department of State is amending the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) to update the
defense trade policy regarding Fiji. On
September 17, 2014, Fiji’s acting
government followed through on its
longstanding commitment to hold
democratic elections. A Multinational
Observer Group of over 90 international
observers, representing 14 countries
including the United States,
characterized the election as credible
and having represented the will of the
people of Fiji. The Department has
determined that is in the best interests
of U.S. foreign policy, national security,
and human rights concerns to rescind
the previous policy of denying the
export of defense articles and defense
services to Fiji.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Analysis and Notices

The Department of State is of the
opinion that controlling the import and
export of defense articles and services is
a foreign affairs function of the United
States government and that rules

implementing this function are exempt
from sections 553 (rulemaking) and 554
(adjudications) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(a)(1). Since the Department
is of the opinion that this rule is exempt
from 5 U.S.C 553, it is the view of the
Department that the provisions of
Section 553(d) do not apply to this
rulemaking. Therefore, this rule is
effective upon publication. The
Department also finds that, given the
national security issues surrounding
U.S. policy toward Fiji, notice and
public procedure on this rule would be
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest; for this reason, the
rule is effective upon publication.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Since the Department is of the
opinion that this rule is exempt from the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553, there is no
requirement for an analysis under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
defense articles and services is a foreign
affairs function of the United States
government and that rules governing the
conduct of this function are exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 12866. However, the Department
has reviewed the rule to ensure its
consistency with the regulatory
philosophy and principles set forth in
the Executive Order.

This rulemaking does not involve a
mandate that will result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
in any year and it will not significantly
or uniquely affect small governments.
Therefore, no actions were deemed
necessary under the provisions of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995.
Executive Orders 12372 and 13132
This rulemaking will not have
substantial direct effects 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. Therefore, in
accordance with Executive Order 13132,
it is determined that this rulemaking
does not have sufficient federalism
implications to require consultations or
warrant the preparation of a federalism
summary impact statement. The
regulations implementing Executive
Order 12372 regarding
intergovernmental consultation on
Federal programs and activities do not
apply to this rulemaking.

The Department of State has
determined that this rulemaking will
not have tribal implications, will not
impose substantial direct compliance
costs on Indian tribal governments, and
will not pre-empt tribal law.
Accordingly, the provisions of
Executive Order 13175 do not apply to
this rulemaking.
