Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Section 125.4(b)(9) Export Exemption for Technical Data, 61292-61294 [E9-28181]

Download as PDF 61292 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 24, 2009 / Proposed Rules established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed 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. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it proposes to amend times of designation for restricted area airspace at Oliktok Point, Alaska. Environmental Review This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Also, § 125.4(b)(9)(iii) will be amended to add the words ‘‘or taken’’ after the word ‘‘sent.’’ As stated in section 22 CFR 125.4(a), this exemption does not apply to exports to proscribed destinations under 22 CFR 126.1.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Concerning these proposed regulations, Barbara Pettoni, (202) 622–4910; concerning submissions of comments or the public hearing, Regina Johnson, (202) 622–7180 (not toll-free numbers). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background This document contains proposed amendments to 26 CFR Part 1 relating to information reporting under sections 6041, 6050W, and 6051 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). This document also contains proposed amendments to 26 CFR Part 31 relating to backup withholding under section 3406, and to 26 CFR Part 301 relating to information reporting penalties under sections 6721 and 6722. A new reporting requirement, section 6050W, was added to the Code by section 3091(a) of the Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008, Div. C of Public Law 110–289, 122 Stat. 2654 (the Act), enacted on July 30, 2008. Section 6050W requires merchant acquiring entities and third party settlement organizations to file an information return for each calendar year reporting all payment card transactions and third party network transactions with participating payees occurring in that calendar year. This requirement to file information returns applies to returns for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2010. This section also requires statements to be furnished to participating payees on or before January 31st of the year following the year for which the return is required. The Act also amended section 3406(b)(3) to provide that amounts reportable under section 6050W are subject to backup withholding PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 requirements. Section 3406(a)(1) requires certain payors to perform backup withholding by deducting and withholding income tax from a reportable payment (as defined in section 3406(b)(1)) if the payee fails to furnish the payee’s taxpayer identification number (TIN) to the payor on a required return, or if the Secretary notifies the payor that the TIN furnished by the payee is incorrect. Backup withholding for amounts reportable under section 6050W applies to amounts paid after December 31, 2011. Prior to making an information return, a payor may check the TIN furnished by the payee against the name/TIN combination contained in the IRS’s database maintained for the program, and the IRS will inform the participant whether or not the name/TIN combination furnished by the payee matches a name/TIN combination in the database. The matching information provided to participants will help avoid TIN errors and reduce the number of backup withholding notices required under section 3406(a)(1)(B) of the Code. A verified TIN/name match will also provide participants with reasonable cause relief from penalties under section 6724(a). The Act further provides that, solely for purposes of carrying out TIN matching under section 3406, section 6050W is effective on the date of enactment, July 30, 2008. The TIN matching program described in Rev. Proc. 2003–9, 2003–1 CB 516, permits program participants to verify the payee TINs required to be reported on information returns and payee statements. On February 6, 2009, the IRS announced that persons who will be required to make returns under section 6050W may match TINs under the procedures established by Rev. Proc. 2003–9. See Announcement 2009–6, ‘‘Taxpayer Identification Number (‘‘TIN’’) Matching Program is Available to Persons Required to Make Returns Under New Section 6050W of the Internal Revenue Code’’ (Announcement 2009–6, 2009–9 IRB 643 (March 2, 2009)). See § 601.601(d)(2)(ii)(b). The Act also amended section 6724(d) by adding returns required by section 6050W to the definition of information return for purposes of penalties for failure to comply with certain information reporting requirements. The amendments to section 6724(d) apply to returns for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2010. Notice 2009–19 invited public comments regarding guidance under section 6050W.

Section 125.4(b)(9) Export Exemption for Technical Data

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

[[Page 61293]]

SUMMARY: The Department of State is proposing to amend the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) regarding an exemption 
for technical data, to clarify that the exemption covers technical 
data, regardless of media or format, sent or taken by a U.S. person who 
is an employee of a U.S. corporation or a U.S. Government agency to a 
U.S. person employed by that U.S. corporation or to a U.S. Government 
agency outside the United States.

DATES: The Department of State will accept comments on this proposed 
rule until January 25, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may submit comments within 60 days of the 
date of the publication by any of the following methods:
     E-mail: DDTCResponseTeam@state.gov with an appropriate 
subject line.
     Mail: Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade 
Controls, Office of Defense Trade Controls Policy, Attn: Regulatory 
Change, Section 125.4, SA-1, 12th Floor, Washington, DC 20522-0112.

Attn: Regulatory Change, Section 125.4.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed export exemption at 22 CFR 
125.4(b)(9) is amended to allow technical data, including classified 
information, and regardless of media or format, sent or taken by a U.S. 
person who is an employee of a U.S. corporation or a U.S. Government 
agency to a U.S. person employed by that U.S. corporation or to a U.S. 
Government agency outside the United States under certain specified 
circumstances reflected in 22 CFR 125.4(b)(9)(i) through (iii). This 
amendment will add after the word ``information'' the words ``and 
regardless of media or format.'' Also, the words ``sent by a U.S. 
corporation to a U.S. person employed by that corporation overseas or 
to a U.S. Government agency'' has been replaced by ``sent or taken by a 
U.S. person who is an employee of a U.S. corporation or a U.S. 
Government agency to a U.S. person employed by that corporation or to a 
U.S. Government agency outside the United States.'' Thus, the exemption 
will explicitly allow hand carrying technical data by a U.S. person 
employed by a U.S. corporation or a U.S. Government agency to a U.S. 
person employed by that U.S. corporation or to a U.S. Government agency 
outside the United States as long as certain criteria in Sec.  
125.4(b)(9) and 125.4(b)(9)(i) through (iii) are met. The word 
``overseas'' will be replaced by ``outside the United States'' at Sec.  
125.4(b)(9), 125.4(b)(9)(i), 125.4(b)(9)(ii), and 125.4(b)(9)(iii). 
Also, Sec.  125.4(b)(9)(iii) will be amended to add the words ``or 
taken'' after the word ``sent.'' As stated in section 22 CFR 125.4(a), 
this exemption does not apply to exports to proscribed destinations 
under 22 CFR 126.1.

Regulatory Analysis and Notices

Administrative Procedure Act

    This proposed amendment involves a foreign affairs function of the 
United States and, therefore, is not subject to the procedures 
contained in 5 U.S.C. 553 and 554.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Since this proposed amendment involves a foreign affairs function 
of the United States, it does not require analysis under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    This proposed amendment does not involve a mandate that will result 
in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the 
aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any 
year and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small 
governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary under the 
provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996

    This proposed amendment has been found not to be a major rule 
within the meaning of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996.

Executive Orders 12372 and 13132

    This proposed amendment will not have substantial direct effects on 
the States, on the relationship between the national government and the 
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive 
Order 13132, it is determined that this amendment does not have 
sufficient federalism implications to require consultations or warrant 
the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. The 
regulations implementing Executive Order 12372 regarding 
intergovernmental consultation on Federal programs and activities do 
not apply to this amendment.

Executive Order 12866

    This proposed amendment is exempt from review under Executive Order 
12866 but has been reviewed internally by the Department of State to 
ensure consistency with the purposes thereof.

Executive Order 12988

    The proposed Department of State has reviewed the proposed 
regulations in light of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 
12988 to eliminate ambiguity, minimize litigation, establish clear 
legal standards, and reduce burden.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This proposed rule does not impose any new reporting or 
recordkeeping requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35.

List of Subjects in 22 CFR Part 125

outside the United States. This exemption is subject to the limitations 
of Sec.  125.1(b) of this subchapter and may be used if:
