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 (5 U.S.C. 553) 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.

(2) This entry does not control test, calibration or alignment equipment for ‘Maintenance level I’ or ‘Maintenance Level II’. Related Definition: (1) ‘‘Maintenance Level I’’: The failure of an inertial navigation unit is detected on the aircraft by indications from the Control and Display Unit (CDU) or by the status message from the corresponding subsystem. By following the manufacturer’s manual, the cause of the failure may be localized at the level of the malfunctioning Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). The operator then removes the LRU and replaces it with a spare. (2) ‘Maintenance Level II’: The defective LRU is sent to the maintenance workshop (the manufacturer’s or that of the operator responsible for level II maintenance). At the maintenance workshop, the malfunctioning LRU is tested by various appropriate means to verify and localize the defective Shop Replaceable Assembly (SRA) module responsible for the failure. This SRA is removed and replaced by an operative spare. The defective SRA (or possibly the complete LRU) is then shipped to the manufacturer. ‘Maintenance Level II’ does not include the removal of controlled accelerometers or gyro sensors from the SRA. * * * * * 49.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Task Force on Editorial Issues (TFEI)

    The Wassenaar Arrangement Task Force on Editorial Issues (TFEI) 
made revisions, editorial in nature, to clarify, remove extraneous text 
or correct text that appears in the Wassenaar Dual-Use List. This was 
assigned to the TFEI by the Wassenaar Arrangement in order to bring the 
Wassenaar Dual-Use List into conformity with TFEI guidelines. The TFEI 
revisions (over 2,000) were agreed upon by the WA in December 2007. 
Some of these revisions were made on October 14, 2008 (73 FR 60910) in 
the rule entitled ``Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Agreements 
Implementation: December 2007 Categories 1, 2, 3, 5 Parts I and II, 6, 
7, and 9 of the Commerce Control List, Definitions; December 2006 Solar 
Cells.'' More of these revisions are made in the rule entitled 
``Wassenaar Arrangement 2008 Plenary Agreements Implementation: 
Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Parts I and II, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Commerce 
Control List, Definitions, Reports.'' This rule implements the 
remaining TFEI revisions not included in either of the aforementioned 
rules.

    Since August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse. However, the 
President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 
2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has been extended by successive 
Presidential Notices, the most recent being that of August 13, 2009 (74 
FR 41,325 (August 14, 2009)), has continued the Regulations in effect 
under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-
1707).

Saving Clause

    Shipments of items removed from license exception eligibility or 
eligibility for export without a license as a result of this regulatory 
action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an 
exporting carrier, or en route aboard a carrier to a port of export, on 
December 10, 2009, pursuant to actual orders for export to a foreign 
destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous license 
exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have been 
exported from the United States before February 8, 2010. Any such items 
not actually exported before midnight, on February 8, 2010, require a 
license in accordance with this regulation.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person 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 two collections of information subject to the PRA. One of the 
collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694 0088, 
``Multi Purpose Application,'' and carries a burden hour estimate of 58 
minutes for a manual or electronic submission. The other of the 
collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694 0106, 
``Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements under the Wassenaar 
Arrangement,'' and carries a burden hour estimate of 21 minutes for a 
manual or electronic submission. Send comments regarding these burden 
estimates or any other aspect of these collections of information, 
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to OMB Desk Officer, New 
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; and to Jasmeet Seehra, 
OMB Desk Officer, by e-mail at jseehra@omb.eop.gov or by fax to (202) 
395-7285; and to the Office of Administration, Bureau of Industry and 
Security, Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 
Room 6622, Washington, DC 20230.
    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 (5 U.S.C. 
553) 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 Sharron Cook, Office 
of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of 
Commerce,
