SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final
rule adds Kosovo to the EAR for export
licensing purposes. The United States
recognized Kosovo as a sovereign state
on February 18, 2008. 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 adding ‘‘Kosovo’’.
2. In Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of
the EAR (Country Groups), Country
Group B is amended by adding
‘‘Kosovo’’.
3. Section 740.7(d)(1) of the EAR
(Computer Tier 3 destinations) is
amended by adding ‘‘Kosovo’’ for
License Exception APP purposes.
This rule does not amend Supplement
No. 2 to part 745, ‘‘States Parties to the
Convention on the Prohibition of the
Development, Production, Stockpiling,
and Use of Chemical Weapons and on
Their Destruction,’’ to include Kosovo,
because Kosovo is not currently a State
Party to the Convention.
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 most

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 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 (see 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further,
no other law requires that a notice of
E:\FR\FM\02SER1.SGM
02SER1
51218
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 2, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
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 Jeffery Lynch, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Industry and Security, Regulatory Policy
Division, 14th St. & Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW., Room 2705, Washington,
DC 20230.
