ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This action removes Federal Airway V–328, and modifies three Federal Airways, V–319, V–333 and V– 480, in Alaska. This action revises the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) airway and route structure in Alaska to account for the pending decommissioning from the National Airspace System (NAS) of the Kipnuk Very High Omni-directional Range (VOR), at Kipnuk, AK. The FAA is taking this action to enhance safety and improve the management of air traffic operations in the State of Alaska. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, August 27, 2009. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On December 10, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to remove V–328 and modify V–319, V– 333 and V–480 (73 FR 75013). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on this proposal. No comments were received in response to the NPRM. VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(b) of FAA Order 7400.9S, signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal Airways listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The Rule The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by revoking one Federal Airway V–328, and modifying three Federal Airways, V–319, V–333, and V–480 in Alaska. The FAA is taking this action to remove all airways off the Kipnuk, Very High Omni-directional Range (VOR), Kipnuk, AK, in preparation for the VOR’s eventual decommissioning from the National Airspace System (NAS). The Kipnuk VOR decommissioning proposal was publicly advertised in nonrulemaking notice numbers 02–AAL– 31NR and 06–AAL–32NR. After reviewing public comment, the FAA PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 decided that keeping or moving the Kipnuk VOR was not feasible and should be decommissioned. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of Transportation (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. Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Polices and Procedures,’’ paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is publishing this final rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the 2008 Australia Group (AG) intersessional decisions, which were recommended at the Intersessional Implementation Meeting held at The Hague on October 8–9, 2008, and adopted under the AG intersessional silent approval procedures in December 2008. This final rule amends the EAR to reflect changes to the AG ‘‘Control List of Dual-Use Chemical Manufacturing Facilities and Equipment and Related Technology and Software’’ affecting valves and toxic gas monitoring systems. Consistent with these changes, this rule expands the EAR controls on valves to include those having contact surfaces lined with certain ceramic materials. In addition, this rule clarifies the types of dedicated detecting components that are subject to the EAR controls on toxic gas monitoring systems and expands these controls to include dedicated software for such systems. This rule also amends the EAR to reflect changes to the AG ‘‘Control List of Dual-Use Biological Equipment and Related Technology and Software’’ affecting cross (tangential) flow filtration equipment. Consistent with these changes, the rule clarifies the EAR controls on such equipment to specifically identify equipment using disposable or single-use filtration components. In addition, this rule amends the EAR to reflect changes to the AG ‘‘Guidelines for Transfers of Sensitive Chemical or Biological Items.’’ Consistent with these changes, the rule amends the AG-related software entries in the EAR to include references to several definitions that were recently added to the AG ‘‘Guidelines.’’ Finally, this rule amends the list of countries that currently are States PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Parties to the CWC by adding ‘‘Bahamas,’’ ‘‘Dominican Republic,’’ ‘‘Iraq,’’ and ‘‘Lebanon,’’ which recently became States Parties. As a result of this change, the CW (Chemical Weapons) license requirements and policies in the EAR that apply to these countries now conform with those applicable to other CWC States Parties. However, because of the special EAR controls that apply to Iraq, items controlled under the EAR for CW reasons continue to require a license for export or reexport to Iraq, or for transfer within Iraq. DATES: This rule is effective July 6, 2009. Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome on a continuing basis. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by RIN 0694–AE55, by any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: https:// www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 10, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to remove V-328 and modify V-319, 
V-333 and V-480 (73 FR 75013). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
this proposal. No comments were received in response to the NPRM.
    VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(b) of FAA Order 
7400.9S, signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal Airways 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR 
part 71) by revoking one Federal Airway V-328, and modifying three 
Federal Airways, V-319, V-333, and V-480 in Alaska. The FAA is taking 
this action to remove all airways off the Kipnuk, Very High Omni-
directional Range (VOR), Kipnuk, AK, in preparation for the VOR's 
eventual decommissioning from the National Airspace System (NAS). The 
Kipnuk VOR decommissioning proposal was publicly advertised in non-
rulemaking notice numbers 02-AAL-31NR and 06-AAL-32NR. After reviewing 
public comment, the FAA decided that keeping or moving the Kipnuk VOR 
was not feasible and should be decommissioned. The FAA has determined 
that this regulation only involves an established body of technical 
regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to 
keep them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not 
a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is 
not a ``significant rule'' under Department of Transportation (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.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Polices and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to 
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
