Specifically, the proposed rule states that it is the policy of the United States Government to prevent exports that would make a material contribution to the military capability of the PRC, while facilitating U.S. exports to legitimate civil end-users in the PRC. Consistent with this policy, BIS proposes to amend the EAR by revising and clarifying United States licensing requirements and licensing policy on exports and reexports of goods and technology to the PRC. The proposed amendments include a revision to the licensing review policy for items controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL) for reasons of national security, including a new control based on knowledge of a military end-use on exports to the PRC of certain CCL items that otherwise do not require a license to the PRC. The items subject to this license requirement will be set forth in a list. This rule further proposes to revise the licensing review policy for items controlled for reasons of chemical and biological proliferation, nuclear nonproliferation, and missile technology for export to the PRC, requiring that applications involving such items be reviewed in conjunction with the revised national security licensing policy. This rule proposes the creation of a new authorization for validated endusers in certain destinations, including the PRC, to whom certain, specified items may be exported or reexported. Such validated end-users would be placed on a list in the EAR after review and approval by the United States Government. Finally, this rule proposes to require exporters to obtain End-User Certificates, issued by the PRC Ministry of Commerce, for all items that both require a license to the PRC for any reason and exceed a total value of $5,000. The current PRC End-Use Certificate applies only to items controlled for national security reasons. This rule also proposes to eliminate the current requirement that exporters submit PRC End-User Certificates to BIS with their license applications but provides that they must retain them for five years.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to determine that the Rillito moderate PM– 10 nonattainment area in Arizona attained the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM10) by the applicable attainment date. In addition, EPA proposes to find that the Rillito area is currently attaining the PM10 standards, and based on this latter finding, EPA is proposing to determine that certain Clean Air Act requirements are not applicable for so long as the Rillito area continues to attain the PM10 NAAQS. Lastly, EPA is proposing to correct an error in a previous rulemaking that involved the classification of PM10 nonattainment areas within the State of Arizona.

Background

    On July 6, 2006, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 
published a rule in the Federal Register that proposed amendments to 
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that would revise and 
clarify the United States' policy for exports and reexports of dual-use 
items to the People's Republic of China (PRC). Specifically, the 
proposed rule states that it is the policy of the United States 
Government to prevent exports that would make a material contribution 
to the military capability of the PRC, while facilitating U.S. exports 
to legitimate civil end-users in the PRC. Consistent with this policy, 
BIS proposes to amend the EAR by revising and clarifying United States 
licensing requirements and licensing policy on exports and reexports of 
goods and technology to the PRC.
    The proposed amendments include a revision to the licensing review 
policy for items controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL) for 
reasons of national security, including a new control based on 
knowledge of a military end-use on exports to the PRC of certain CCL 
items that otherwise do not require a license to the PRC. The items 
subject to this license requirement will be set forth in a list. This 
rule further proposes to revise the licensing review policy for items 
controlled for reasons of chemical and biological proliferation, 
nuclear nonproliferation, and missile technology for export to the PRC, 
requiring that applications involving such items be reviewed in 
conjunction with the revised national security licensing policy.
    This rule proposes the creation of a new authorization for 
validated end-users in certain destinations, including the PRC, to whom 
certain, specified items may be exported or reexported. Such validated 
end-users would be placed on a list in the EAR after review and 
approval by the United States Government.
    Finally, this rule proposes to require exporters to obtain End-User 
Certificates, issued by the PRC Ministry of Commerce, for all items 
that both require a license to the PRC for any reason and exceed a 
total value of $5,000. The current PRC End-Use Certificate applies only 
to items controlled for national security reasons. This rule also 
proposes to eliminate the current requirement that exporters submit PRC 
End-User Certificates to BIS with their license applications but 
provides that they must retain them for five years.

    Dated: August 3, 2006.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration, Bureau of 
Industry and Security.
