Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 174 / Monday, September 8, 2008 / Notices
The REA grants flexibility to
Recreation RACs by stating that the
Secretaries:
• May have as many additional
Recreation RACs in a State or region as
the Secretaries consider necessary;
• Shall not establish a Recreation
RAC in a State if the Secretaries
determine, in consultation with the
Governor of the State, that sufficient
interest does not exist to ensure that
participation on the committee is
balanced in terms of the points of view
represented and the functions to be
performed; or
• May use a resource advisory
committee established pursuant to
another provision of law and in
accordance with that law.
The Forest Service and BLM elected
to jointly use existing BLM RACs in the
States of Arizona, Idaho, the Dakotas,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and
Utah. The Forest Service also chartered
new Recreation RACs for the Forest
Service Pacific Northwest, Pacific
Southwest, Eastern, and Southern
Regions, and for the State of Colorado.
The Forest Service is using an existing
advisory board for the Black Hills
National Forest in South Dakota. In
addition, the Governors of three States—
Alaska, Nebraska, and Wyoming—
requested that their states be exempt
from the Recreation RAC requirement,
and the Secretary concurred with the
exemptions.
Members were appointed to the Forest
Service established Recreation RACs in
February 2007 for three regions (Pacific
Northwest, Eastern, and Southern), and
July 2007 for one region (Pacific
Southwest) and one State (State of
Colorado).
The Secretaries have signed an
Interagency Agreement that authorizes
the Forest Service to using existing BLM
RACs and the BLM to use Forest Service
established Recreation RACs for the
purposes stated in the REA.
Dated: September 2, 2008.
Boyd K. Rutherford,
Assistant Secretary for Administration.

CLOSED MEETING: The members of the
Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG)
will meet in closed session to review
and discuss a number of issues relating
to U.S. Government-funded nonmilitary international broadcasting.
They will address internal procedural,
budgetary, and personnel issues, as well
as sensitive foreign policy issues
relating to potential options in the U.S.
international broadcasting field. This
meeting is closed because if open it
likely would either disclose matters that
would be properly classified to be kept
secret in the interest of foreign policy
under the appropriate executive order (5
U.S.C. 552b.(c)(1)) or would disclose
information the premature disclosure of
which would be likely to significantly
frustrate implementation of a proposed
agency action. (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B)).
In addition, part of the discussion will
relate solely to the internal personnel
and organizational issues of the BBG or
the International Broadcasting Bureau.
(5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(2) and (6))

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Foreign
policy-based controls in the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) are
implemented pursuant to section 6 of
the Export Administration Act of 1979,
as amended. The current foreign policybased export controls maintained by the
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
are set forth in the EAR, including in
parts 742 (CCL Based Controls), 744
(End-User and End-Use Based Controls)
and 746 (Embargoes and Special
Country Controls). These controls apply
to a range of countries, items, activities
and persons, including: Certain general
purpose microprocessors for ‘‘military
end-uses’’ and ‘‘military end-users’’
(§ 744.17); significant items (SI): Hot
section technology for the development,
production, or overhaul of commercial
aircraft engines, components, and
systems (§ 742.14); encryption items
(§§ 742.15 and 744.9); crime control and
detection commodities (§ 742.7);
specially designed implements of
torture (§ 742.11); certain firearms
included within the Inter-American
Convention Against the Illicit
Manufacturing of and Trafficking in
Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and
Other Related Materials (§ 742.17);
regional stability items (§ 742.6);
equipment and related technical data
used in the design, development,
production, or use of certain rocket
systems and unmanned air vehicles
(§§ 742.5 and 744.3); chemical

chemicals included in those controlled
pursuant to the Chemical Weapons
Convention (§ 742.18); nuclear
propulsion (§ 744.5); aircraft and vessels
(§ 744.7); communication intercepting
devices (software and technology)
(§ 742.13); embargoed countries (part
746); countries designated as supporters
of acts of international terrorism
(§§ 742.8, 742.9, 742.10, 742.19, 746.2,
746.4, 746.7, and 746.9); certain entities
in Russia (§ 744.10); individual
terrorists and terrorist organizations
(§§ 744.12, 744.13 and 744.14); certain
persons designated by Executive Order
13315 (‘‘Blocking Property of the
Former Iraqi Regime, Its Senior Officials
and Their Family Members’’) (§ 744.18);
and certain sanctioned entities
(§ 744.20). Attention is also given in this
context to the controls on nuclearrelated commodities and technology
(§§ 742.3 and 744.2), which are, in part,
implemented under section 309(c) of the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act.
Under the provisions of section 6 of
the Export Administration Act of 1979,
as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 2401–2420
(2000)) (EAA), export controls
maintained for foreign policy purposes
require annual extension. Section 6 of
the EAA requires a report to Congress
when foreign policy-based export
controls are extended. The EAA expired
on August 20, 2001. Executive Order
13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001
Comp., p. 783 (2002)), which has been
extended by successive Presidential
Notices, the most recent being that of
July 23, 2008, 73 FR 43603 (July 25,
2008), continues the EAR and, to the
extent permitted by law, the provisions
of the EAA, in effect under the
International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706
(2000)). The Department of Commerce,
insofar as appropriate, is following the
provisions of section 6 by reviewing its
foreign policy-based export controls,
requesting public comments on such
controls, and preparing a report to be
submitted to Congress.
In January 2008, the Secretary of
Commerce, on the recommendation of
the Secretary of State, extended for one
year all foreign policy-based export
controls then in effect.
To assure maximum public
participation in the review process,
comments are solicited on the extension
or revision of the existing foreign
policy-based export controls for another
year. Among the criteria considered in
determining whether to continue or
revise U.S. foreign policy-based export
controls are the following:
1. The likelihood that such controls
will achieve the intended foreign policy
purpose, in light of other factors,
