SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:00 Feb 23, 2007 Jkt 211001 8315 Background Request for Comment The Department of Commerce seeks to address the threat to national security caused by the illicit transshipment, reexport, and diversion in international trade of items subject to the EAR. Through government-to-government and government-to-industry outreach, the Department of Commerce encourages transshipment countries to strengthen their international export control practices. This effort includes both governmentto-government cooperation and U.S. Government cooperation and information-sharing with the private sector. To strengthen government-togovernment cooperation, the Department of Commerce has worked with its counterpart agencies to: (1) Develop or strengthen export control regimes, (2) promote information and data exchanges, and (3) strengthen cooperation and facilitate enforcement. Specific initiatives to develop export control capabilities have included technical assistance in the areas of legal framework and licensing procedures and practices, enforcement training, and industry outreach. To strengthen cooperation and facilitate enforcement, the Department of Commerce has posted ´ export control attaches to serve as liaisons in many of these areas, and has sought agreements and other government-to-government cooperation in certain destinations. The Department of Commerce has also concentrated on outreach to key companies involved in forwarding, processing, and transporting goods through transshipment points, i.e., freight forwarders, integrators, air cargo carriers, and shipping lines. The Department of Commerce has sought to enhance cooperation with these private sector entities via informal meetings, the establishment of communication channels to facilitate information sharing, the establishment and sharing of ‘‘best practices,’’ and by working with the foreign trade zone board to address transshipment issues. The diversion of items subject to the EAR could augment the capabilities of terrorists and state sponsors of terrorism, and significantly undermine international counterproliferation efforts. The illegal diversion of such items could also compromise the effectiveness of U.S. export control laws. In recent years, diversions have contributed to a number of major cases involving the violation of U.S. export control laws for dual-use goods. Consideration of designating Country Group C to identify ‘‘Destinations of Diversion Concern’’ is part of the Department of Commerce’s effort to strengthen the trade compliance and export control systems of countries that are transshipment hubs. By working to strengthen those systems, the Department of Commerce seeks to enhance international security and confidence in international trade flows. Country Group C would identify those countries of diversion concern, based on certain criteria including, but not limited to: • Transit and transshipment volume; • Inadequate export/reexport controls; • Demonstrated inability to control diversion activities in this destination; • Government not directly involved in diversion activities; and • Government unwilling or unable to cooperate with the U.S. in interdiction efforts. As a result of being placed into Country Group C, the licensing policy would likely change for items going to any country designated as a ‘‘Destination of Diversion Concern.’’ Such changes could include changes in License Exception eligibility (Part 740 of the EAR), License Requirements and Licensing Policy (Part 742 of the EAR), and End-User and End-Use Based Controls (Part 744 of the EAR). The result of these changes could mean that more license applications might be required; more stringent license review policies might be implemented, which could result in less approvals or more conditions on licenses; authorizations may be delayed because of increased end-user checks; or authorizations may decrease because of diversion risks for such countries.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E5 airspace at 
Middlesboro, KY. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 
are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9P, dated September 
16, 2006, and effective September 16, 2006, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in 
this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the 
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
