ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) is amending the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) to
add ‘‘Montenegro’’ and ‘‘Serbia’’ as
separate countries in the EAR and to
establish separate export licensing
requirements for Montenegro and
Serbia. BIS is taking this action to
update the EAR to reflect the United
States’ recognition of Montenegro as a
sovereign state by the United States.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective
November 27, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Although this is a final rule,
comments are welcome and should be
sent to publiccomments@bis.doc.gov, by
fax to (202) 482–3355, or to Jeffery
Lynch, Regulatory Policy Division,

This final
rule deletes ‘‘Serbia and Montenegro’’
and adds ‘‘Montenegro’’ and ‘‘Serbia’’ as
separate entries on the Commerce
Country Chart in Supplement No. 1 to
part 738 of the EAR for export licensing
purposes. In a press release dated June
13, 2006, the U.S. Department of State
announced that the United States
recognized Montenegro as a sovereign
state based on an internationally
recognized May 21, 2006 referendum.
See Press Release, U.S. Department of
State, U.S. Recognizes Montenegro as
Independent State (June 13, 2006),
available at https://www.state.gov/
secretary/rm/2006/67839.htm.
Previously, the EAR referred to ‘‘Serbia
and Montenegro’’ as one country. This
final rule also updates references to
‘‘Serbia and Montenegro’’ in part 740 of
the EAR to reflect Montenegro’s legal
separation from the state union of Serbia
and Montenegro.
Specifically, this rule amends the EAR
as follows:
1. In Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of
the EAR, the Commerce Country Chart
is amended by removing ‘‘Serbia and
Montenegro’’ and by adding
‘‘Montenegro’’ and ‘‘Serbia.’’ This
amendment does not affect any of the
license requirements indicated on the
Commerce Country Chart, since the
Commerce Control List based license
requirements that apply to
‘‘Montenegro’’ and ‘‘Serbia’’ are the
same as those that applied to ‘‘Serbia
and Montenegro’’ prior to the
publication of this rule.
2. In Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of
the EAR (Country Groups), Country
Group B is amended by removing
‘‘Serbia and Montenegro’’ and adding
‘‘Montenegro’’ and ‘‘Serbia’’.
3. Section 740.7(d)(1) of the EAR
(Computer Tier 3 destinations) is
amended by removing ‘‘Serbia and
Montenegro’’ and adding ‘‘Montenegro’’
and ‘‘Serbia’’ for License Exception APP
purposes.
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 3, 2006, 71 FR 44551
(August 7, 2006), has continued the
Export Administration Regulations in

Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final 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 respond to, nor shall any person 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 rule
contains a collection of information
subject to the requirements of the PRA.
This collection has previously been
approved by OMB under Control
Number 0694–0088 (Multi-Purpose
Application), which carries a burden
hour estimate of 58 minutes to prepare
and submit form BIS–748. This rule is
not expected to result in any change for
collection purposes. Send comments
regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including suggestions for
reducing the burden, to David Rostker,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), and to the Regulatory Policy
Division, Bureau of Industry and
Security, Department of Commerce, as
indicated in the ADDRESSES section of
this rule.
3. This rule does not contain policies
with Federalism implications as this
term is defined under 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
participation, and a delay in effective
date, are inapplicable because this
regulation involves a military and
foreign affairs function of the United
States (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 final rule. Because a
notice of proposed rulemaking and an
opportunity for public comment are not
required to be given for this rule under
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.
Therefore, this regulation is issued in
final form. Although there is no formal
comment period, public comments on
this regulation are welcome on a
continuing basis. Comments should be
submitted to
publiccomments@bis.doc.gov, by fax to
(202) 482–3355, or to Jeffery Lynch,
Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of
Industry and Security, Department of
Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington,

Before Commissioners: Joseph T.
Kelliher, Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly,
Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller, and
Jon Wellinghoff.
1. On July 20, 2006, the Commission
issued a Final Rule in this proceeding.1
In the Final Rule, the Commission
amended its regulations to require each
transmission organization that is a
public utility with one or more
organized electricity markets to make
available long-term firm transmission
rights that satisfy each of the guidelines
established by the Commission in this
Final Rule. We took this action pursuant
to section 1233 of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 (EPAct 2005), which added new
section 217 to the Federal Power Act
(FPA).2 The Final Rule required each
transmission organization subject to its
requirements to file with the
Commission, no later than January 29,
2007, either (1) tariff sheets and rate
schedules that make available long-term
firm transmission rights that satisfy each
of the guidelines set forth in the final
regulations, or (2) an explanation of how
its current tariff and rate schedules
already provide for long-term firm
transmission rights that satisfy each of
the guidelines. A transmission
organization approved by the
Commission for operation after January
29, 2007 will be required to satisfy the
requirements of the Final Rule.
2. The guidelines adopted in the Final
Rule give transmission organizations the
flexibility to propose designs for longterm firm transmission rights that reflect
regional preferences and accommodate
their regional market designs, while also
ensuring that the objectives of Congress
expressed in new section 217(b)(4) of
the FPA are met. The Commission
allowed regional flexibility in setting
the terms of the rights, but required that
long-term firm transmission rights be
made available with terms (and/or rights
to renewal) that are sufficient to meet
the reasonable needs of load serving
entities to support long-term power
supply arrangements used to satisfy
their service obligations.
3. In this order, the Commission
denies rehearing and upholds its
determinations in the Final Rule. We
also offer certain clarifications.

I. Background
A. The Development of ISOs and RTOs
4. In both our Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NOPR) 3 and the Final
Rule, we discussed the development of
Independent System Operators (ISOs)
and Regional Transmission
Organizations (RTOs). In Order No. 888,
the Commission found that undue
discrimination and anticompetitive
practices existed in the provision of
electric transmission service in
interstate commerce.4 Accordingly, the
Commission required all public utilities
that own, control or operate facilities
used for transmitting electric energy in
interstate commerce to file open access
transmission tariffs (OATTs) containing
certain non-price terms and conditions
and to ‘‘functionally unbundle’’
wholesale power services from
transmission services.5 In addition, the
Commission found in Order No. 888
that ISOs had the potential to aid in
remedying undue discrimination and
accomplishing comparable access.6
5. In light of the creation of ISOs and
other changes in the electric industry,
the Commission issued Order No.
2000.7 In that order, the Commission
concluded that traditional management
of the transmission grid by vertically
integrated electric utilities was
inadequate to support the efficient and
reliable operation of transmission
facilities necessary for continued
development of competitive electricity

is required to: (1) Take wholesale transmission
services under the same tariff of general
applicability as it offers its customers; (2) state
separate rates for wholesale generation,
transmission and ancillary services; and (3) rely on
the same electronic information network that its
transmission customers rely on to obtain
information about the utility’s transmission system.

Chart is amended by removing ``Serbia and Montenegro'' and by adding
``Montenegro'' and ``Serbia.'' This amendment does not affect any of
the license requirements indicated on the Commerce Country Chart, since
the Commerce Control List based license requirements that apply to
``Montenegro'' and ``Serbia'' are the same as those that applied to
``Serbia and Montenegro'' prior to the publication of this rule.
2. In Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR (Country Groups),
Country Group B is amended by removing ``Serbia and Montenegro'' and
adding ``Montenegro'' and ``Serbia''.
3. Section 740.7(d)(1) of the EAR (Computer Tier 3 destinations) is
amended by removing ``Serbia and Montenegro'' and adding ``Montenegro''
and ``Serbia'' for License Exception APP purposes.
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 3, 2006,
71 FR 44551 (August 7, 2006), has continued the Export Administration
Regulations in
[[Page 68439]]
effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final 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 respond to, nor shall any person 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 rule
contains a collection of information subject to the requirements of the
PRA. This collection has previously been approved by OMB under Control
Number 0694-0088 (Multi-Purpose Application), which carries a burden
hour estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748. This
rule is not expected to result in any change for collection purposes.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the
burden, to David Rostker, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and to
the Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security,
Department of Commerce, as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this
rule.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as this term is defined under 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 participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable
because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs
function of the United States (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 final rule. Because a notice of
proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not
required to be given for this rule under 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.
Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there
is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are
welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to
publiccomments@bis.doc.gov, by fax to (202) 482-3355, or to Jeffery
Lynch, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security,
Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
