The port of entry description of St. Louis, Missouri, will be revised as proposed in the NPRM. III. Port Description of St. Louis, Missouri The port limits of St. Louis, Missouri, are as follows: Beginning at the point where Federal Interstate Highway 270 crosses the Mississippi River; thence west, southwest, south and southeast, along Federal Interstate Highway 270 to the point where it becomes Federal Interstate Highway 255; thence southeast on Federal Interstate Highway 255 across the Mississippi River; thence north and east to the point where Federal Interstate Highway 255 intersects with Federal Interstate Highway 270; thence west along Federal Interstate Highway 270 to the Mississippi River, the point of beginning. IV. Authority This change is made under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301; 19 U.S.C. 2, 66, and 1624; and 6 U.S.C. 203. cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with RULES B. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires Federal agencies to examine the impact a rule would have on small entities. A small entity may be a small business (defined as any independently owned and operated business not dominant in its field that qualifies as a small business per the Small Business Act), a small notfor-profit organization, or a small governmental jurisdiction (locality with fewer than 50,000 people). This rule does not directly regulate small entities. The change is part of CBP’s continuing program to more Jkt 217001 The signing authority for this document falls under 19 CFR 0.2(a), because the port extension is not within the bounds of those regulations for which the Secretary of the Treasury has retained sole authority. Accordingly, this final rule may be signed by the Secretary of Homeland Security (or his or her delegate). Customs duties and inspection, Customs ports of entry, Exports, Imports, Organization and functions (Government agencies). A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review This rule is not considered to be an economically significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, because it will not result in the expenditure of over $100 million in any one year. The change is intended to expand the geographical boundaries of the Port of St. Louis, Missouri, and make it more easily identifiable to the public. There are no new costs to the public associated with this rule. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under Executive Order 12866. 13:54 May 15, 2009 VI. Signing Authority List of Subjects in 19 CFR Part 101 V. Statutory and Regulatory Reviews VerDate Nov<24>2008 efficiently utilize its personnel, facilities, and resources, and to provide better service to carriers, importers, and the general public. To the extent that all entities are able to more efficiently or conveniently access the facilities and resources within the expanded geographical area of the new port limits, this rule should confer benefits to CBP, carriers, importers, and the general public. Because this rule does not directly regulate small entities, CBP certifies that this rule does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Amendments to CBP Regulations For the reasons set forth above, part 101, CBP Regulations (19 CFR part 101) are amended as set forth below. ■ PART 101—GENERAL PROVISIONS 1.

Background Section 321 of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, 18 U.S.C. 2332d (the ‘‘Act’’), makes it a criminal offense for United States persons, except as provided in regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with the Secretary of State, to engage in financial transactions with the governments of countries designated under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, 50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j) (the ‘‘EAA’’), as supporting international terrorism. To implement section 321 of the Act, OFAC promulgated the Terrorism List Governments Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 596 (the E:\FR\FM\18MYR1.SGM 18MYR1 23112 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 94 / Monday, May 18, 2009 / Rules and Regulations ‘‘Regulations’’), effective August 22, 1996. 61 FR 43462 (Aug. 23, 1996). Section 596.201 of the Regulations provides that, except as authorized by regulations, orders, directives, licenses, or otherwise, no United States person, knowing or having reasonable cause to know that a country is designated under section 6(j) of the EAA as a country supporting international terrorism, shall engage in a financial transaction with the government of such country. A schedule following section 596.201 listed those countries that were designated under section 6(j) as of the effective date of the Regulations (i.e., as of August 22, 1996). Since that date, the Secretary of State has issued Public Notices rescinding the designations of Iraq [69 FR 61702 (Oct. 20, 2004)], Libya [71 FR 39696 (July 13, 2006)], and North Korea [73 FR 63540 (Oct. 24, 2008)]. Accordingly, OFAC is amending section 596.201 of the Regulations so that the schedule that follows in new paragraph (b) of this section lists countries that are designated under section 6(j) as supporting international terrorism as of May 18, 2009. The schedule itself is being updated by the removal of Iraq, Libya, and North Korea, which are no longer so designated. Public Participation Because the amendment of the Regulations involves a foreign affairs function, the provisions of Executive Order 12866 and the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date are inapplicable. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612) does not apply. cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with RULES Paperwork Reduction Act The collections of information related to the Regulations are contained in 31 CFR part 501 (the ‘‘Reporting, Procedures and Penalties Regulations’’). Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), those collections of information have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 1505– 0164.

Terrorism List Governments Sanctions Regulations

AGENCY: Office of Foreign Assets Control, Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of 
the Treasury (``OFAC'') is amending the Terrorism List Governments 
Sanctions Regulations so that the schedule to which a prohibition 
section refers lists those countries that are currently designated as 
supporting international terrorism, instead of the countries that were 
designated as of the effective date of these regulations. This 
amendment also removes Iraq, Libya, and North Korea from the schedule, 
because these countries are no longer designated as state sponsors of 
terrorism.

DATES: Effective Date: May 18, 2009.

Outreach & Implementation, tel.: 202/622-2490, Assistant Director for 
Licensing, tel.: 202/622-2480, Assistant Director for Policy, tel.:

facsimile through a 24-hour fax-on-demand service, tel.: 202/622-0077.

Background

    Section 321 of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 
1996, 18 U.S.C. 2332d (the ``Act''), makes it a criminal offense for 
United States persons, except as provided in regulations issued by the 
Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with the Secretary of State, 
to engage in financial transactions with the governments of countries 
designated under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, 
50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j) (the ``EAA''), as supporting international 
terrorism. To implement section 321 of the Act, OFAC promulgated the 
Terrorism List Governments Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 596 (the

[[Page 23112]]

``Regulations''), effective August 22, 1996. 61 FR 43462 (Aug. 23, 
1996).
    Section 596.201 of the Regulations provides that, except as 
authorized by regulations, orders, directives, licenses, or otherwise, 
no United States person, knowing or having reasonable cause to know 
that a country is designated under section 6(j) of the EAA as a country 
supporting international terrorism, shall engage in a financial 
transaction with the government of such country. A schedule following 
section 596.201 listed those countries that were designated under 
section 6(j) as of the effective date of the Regulations (i.e., as of 
August 22, 1996). Since that date, the Secretary of State has issued 
Public Notices rescinding the designations of Iraq [69 FR 61702 (Oct. 
20, 2004)], Libya [71 FR 39696 (July 13, 2006)], and North Korea [73 FR 
63540 (Oct. 24, 2008)]. Accordingly, OFAC is amending section 596.201 
of the Regulations so that the schedule that follows in new paragraph 
(b) of this section lists countries that are designated under section 
6(j) as supporting international terrorism as of May 18, 2009. The 
schedule itself is being updated by the removal of Iraq, Libya, and 
North Korea, which are no longer so designated.

Public Participation

    Because the amendment of the Regulations involves a foreign affairs 
function, the provisions of Executive Order 12866 and the 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of 
proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in 
effective date are inapplicable. Because no notice of proposed 
rulemaking is required for this rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 
U.S.C. 601-612) does not apply.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The collections of information related to the Regulations are 
contained in 31 CFR part 501 (the ``Reporting, Procedures and Penalties 
Regulations''). Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3507), those collections of information have been approved by 
the Office of Management and Budget under control number 1505-0164. An 
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of 
information displays a valid control number.
