creating a new authorization for
‘‘validated end-users’’ (VEUs) located in
eligible destinations to which eligible
items (commodities, software and

conformance with Section 748.15 of the
EAR. In a final rule published in the
Federal Register on October 1, 2007 (72

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Bureau
of Industry and Security (BIS) amends
the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) to include the initial list of endusers for India approved to receive
exports, reexports and transfers of
certain items under Authorization
Validated End-User (VEU). Specifically,
this rule amends the EAR to authorize
one VEU in India and identify the
respective eligible items for export and
reexport to that VEU’s facilities.
DATES: This rule is effective July 2,
2009. Although there is no formal

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 126 / Thursday, July 2, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
Authorization VEU would facilitate
increased high-technology exports to
companies in India that have a record of
using such items responsibly. VEUs may
obtain eligible items that are on the
Commerce Control List without having
to wait for their suppliers to obtain
export licenses from BIS. A wide range
of items are eligible for shipment under
Authorization VEU. In addition to U.S.
exporters, Authorization VEU may be
used by foreign reexporters. Finally,
while a VEU authorization may be
revised, suspended or revoked pursuant
to Section 748.15(a)(3), it does not have
an expiration date, unlike the two-year
validity period of an export license.
Approved VEU India and Its Respective
‘‘Eligible Items (By ECCN)’’ and
‘‘Eligible Destinations’’
This final rule amends Supplement
No. 7 to Part 748 of the EAR to identify
a company, with eligible facilities, in
India as a VEU and to identify the items
that may be exported, reexported or
transferred to it and its approved
facilities under Authorization VEU. This
new entry is for GE India. Below are the
specific Export Control Classification
Numbers (ECCNs) defining the
materials, material and aerospace
technologies, and explosive detection
equipment, software and technology
matched to the respective GE India
facility names and addresses.
Supplement 7 to Part 748 identifies the
ECCNs and facilities under the headings
‘‘Eligible Items (By ECCN)’’ and
‘‘Eligible Destinations’’, respectively:

and Supplement Nos. 8 and 9 to Part
748 of the EAR.
Approving this new end-user as a
VEU is expected to further facilitate
exports to civil end-users in India.
Approval of this company also
represents a significant savings of time
for suppliers and end-users.
Authorization VEU will eliminate the
burden on exporters and reexporters of
preparing license applications and on
BIS for processing such applications, as
exports and reexports will be made
under general authorization instead of
under a license. These savings will
enable exporters and reexporters to
supply VEUs much more quickly, thus
enhancing the competitiveness of U.S.
exporters, as well as reexporters, and
end-users in India.
To ensure appropriate facilitation of
exports and reexports, on-site reviews of
the VEUs may be warranted pursuant to
paragraph 748.15(a)(2) and Section 7(iv)
of Supplement No. 8 to Part 748 of the
EAR. If such reviews are warranted, BIS
will inform the Government of India, as
appropriate.
Since August 21, 2001, the Export
Administration Act has been in lapse
and the President, through Executive
Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002)), as extended
most recently by the Notice of July 23,
2008 (73 FR 43603, July 25, 2008), has
continued the EAR in effect under the
International Emergency Economic
Powers Act. BIS continues to carry out
the provisions of the Act, as appropriate
and to the extent permitted by law,
pursuant to Executive Order 13222.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined
to be not significant for the purposes of
Executive Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, no person is required
to respond to nor 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
involves collections previously
approved by the 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; and for
recordkeeping, reporting and review
requirements in connection with
Authorization Validated End-User,
which carries an estimated burden of 30
minutes per submission. This rule is
expected to result in a decrease in
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

license applications submitted to BIS.
Total burden hours associated with the
Paperwork Reduction Act and Office of
Management and Budget control
number 0694–0088 are not expected to
increase significantly as a result of this
rule.
3. This rule does not contain policies
with Federalism implications as that
term is defined under Executive Order
13132.
4. The provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act 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 the
Administrative Procedure Act 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 Sheila Quarterman,

regulations at 45 CFR part 612. No
comments were received. Accordingly,
NSF is revising its FOIA regulations by
adopting the revisions as proposed. This
revision of Part 612 implements the new
provisions of the Openness Promotes
Effectiveness in our National
Government Act of 2007, or the OPEN
Government Act of 2007, Public Law
110–175. No changes to the Act’s nine
exemptions were made. The
amendments address a range of
procedural issues impacting FOIA
administration, including the
codification of several provisions of
Executive Order 13392, Improving
Agency Disclosure of Information.
Clarifications or minor procedural
changes are found at § 612.3(a), (b), (f)
and (g) (Requirements for making
requests), § 612.4(a) (Responding to
requests), § 612.5 (c)(1) and (2) (Timing
of Response to Requests), § 612.6 (a), (b),
(c)(1) (Processing requests) and
§ 612.10(c)(iii) (Fees).
For purposes of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601), the rule
will not have a significant economic
effect on a substantial number of small
entities; the rule addresses the
procedures to be followed when
submitting or responding to requests for
information under the Freedom of
Information Act. For purposes of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–4) the rule would not
significantly or uniquely affect small
governments and would not result in
increased expenditures by State, local,
and tribal governments, or by the

For purposes of Executive Order 12866,
the rule is not a significant regulatory
action requiring review by the Office of
Management and Budget. For the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 35) it has been
determined that this rulemaking does
not impose any reporting or

responsibly. VEUs may obtain eligible items that are on the Commerce
Control List without having to wait for their suppliers to obtain
export licenses from BIS. A wide range of items are eligible for
shipment under Authorization VEU. In addition to U.S. exporters,
Authorization VEU may be used by foreign reexporters. Finally, while a
VEU authorization may be revised, suspended or revoked pursuant to
Section 748.15(a)(3), it does not have an expiration date, unlike the
two-year validity period of an export license.
Approved VEU India and Its Respective ``Eligible Items (By ECCN)'' and
``Eligible Destinations''
This final rule amends Supplement No. 7 to Part 748 of the EAR to
identify a company, with eligible facilities, in India as a VEU and to
identify the items that may be exported, reexported or transferred to
it and its approved facilities under Authorization VEU. This new entry
is for GE India. Below are the specific Export Control Classification
Numbers (ECCNs) defining the materials, material and aerospace
technologies, and explosive detection equipment, software and
technology matched to the respective GE India facility names and
addresses. Supplement 7 to Part 748 identifies the ECCNs and facilities
under the headings ``Eligible Items (By ECCN)'' and ``Eligible
Destinations'', respectively:

The VEUs listed in Supplement No. 7 to Part 748 were reviewed and
approved by the U.S. Government in accordance with the provisions of
Section 748.15 and Supplement Nos. 8 and 9 to Part 748 of the EAR.
Approving this new end-user as a VEU is expected to further
facilitate exports to civil end-users in India. Approval of this
company also represents a significant savings of time for suppliers and
end-users. Authorization VEU will eliminate the burden on exporters and
reexporters of preparing license applications and on BIS for processing
such applications, as exports and reexports will be made under general
authorization instead of under a license. These savings will enable
exporters and reexporters to supply VEUs much more quickly, thus
enhancing the competitiveness of U.S. exporters, as well as
reexporters, and end-users in India.
To ensure appropriate facilitation of exports and reexports, on-
site reviews of the VEUs may be warranted pursuant to paragraph
748.15(a)(2) and Section 7(iv) of Supplement No. 8 to Part 748 of the
EAR. If such reviews are warranted, BIS will inform the Government of
India, as appropriate.
Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act has been in
lapse and the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17,
2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002)), as extended most recently by
the Notice of July 23, 2008 (73 FR 43603, July 25, 2008), has continued
the EAR in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act. BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the Act, as
appropriate and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive
Order 13222.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
the purposes of Executive Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person is
required to respond to nor 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 involves
collections previously approved by the 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; and for
recordkeeping, reporting and review requirements in connection with
Authorization Validated End-User, which carries an estimated burden of
30 minutes per submission. This rule is expected to result in a
decrease in license applications submitted to BIS. Total burden hours
associated with the Paperwork Reduction Act and Office of Management
and Budget control number 0694-0088 are not expected to increase
significantly as a result of this rule.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act 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 the Administrative Procedure Act 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 Sheila Quarterman, Regulatory Policy Division,
Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th
Street & Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 2705, Washington, DC 20230
