Inspections will vary based on the rate of excavation, the materials excavated, and the presence and abundance of artifacts and features. The frequency and location of inspections will be determined by the Qualified Archaeologist in consultation with the Native American monitor. • Monitoring of cutting of previously disturbed deposits will be determined by the Principal Investigator. • In the event that previously unidentified potentially significant cultural resources are discovered, the archaeological monitor(s) shall have the authority to divert or temporarily halt ground disturbance operations in the area of discovery to allow evaluation of potentially significant cultural resources. For significant cultural resources, a Research Design and Data Recovery Program to mitigate impacts shall be prepared by the Principal Investigator and then carried out using professional archaeological methods. Before construction activities are allowed to resume in the affected area, the artifacts shall be recovered and features recorded using professional archaeological methods. The Principal Investigator shall determine the amount of material to be recovered for an adequate artifact sample for analysis. • If any human bones are discovered, the Principal Investigator shall contact the County Coroner. In the event that the remains are determined to be of Native America origin, the Most Likely Descendant (MLD), as identified by the Native American Heritage Commission, shall be contacted by the Principal Investigator in order to determine proper treatment and disposition of the remains. • In the event that previously unidentified cultural resources are discovered, all cultural material collected during the grading monitoring program shall be processed and curated at a San Diego facility that meets federal VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:15 Jul 22, 2010 Jkt 220001 standards per 36 CFR part 79 and, therefore, would be professionally curated and made available to other archaeologists/researchers for further study. The collections and associated records shall be transferred, including title, to an appropriate curation facility within San Diego County, to be accompanied by payment of the fees necessary for permanent curation. Evidence shall be in the form of a letter from the curation facility identifying that archaeological materials have been received and that all fees have been paid. 6. Traffic: Because the Proposed Action is part of the City of San Diego’s Otay Mesa Community Plan, the project sponsor would be responsible for participating in the Facilities Benefit Assessment (FBA) and Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) to fund the cost of the community-wide road and intersection improvements. All intersections and roadways planned in the Otay Mesa Community Plan area are forecast to operate at acceptable level of service in the future. The City is in the process of updating the Community Plan. Determination Consistent with NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1500–1508), and the Department’s implementing regulations (22 CFR Part 161, and in particular 22 CFR 161.7(c)), I find that issuance of a Presidential permit authorizing the construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of the Cross Border Facility, including an international pedestrian bridge, would not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. No Environmental Impact Statement will be prepared. A complete analysis of environmental impacts is contained within the EA, as supplemented by subsequent correspondence.

Regarding Activities of Presidential Airways, Inc. and its 
Subsidiaries/Affiliates Regulated Under the International Traffic in 
Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR Parts 120-130)

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of State is lifting 
the policy of denial regarding Presidential Airways, Inc. and its 
subsidiaries/affiliates imposed on December 18, 2008 (73 FR 77099) 
pursuant to section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 
2778) and section 126.7 of the International Traffic in Arms 
Regulations (ITAR).

DATES: Effective Date: July 7, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa V. Studtmann, Director, Office of 
Defense Trade Controls Compliance, Bureau of Political-Military 
Affairs, Department of State (202) 663-2980.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 126.7 of the ITAR provides that any 
application for an export license or other approval under the ITAR may 
be disapproved, and any license or other approval or exemption granted 
may be revoked, suspended, or amended without prior notice whenever, 
among other things, the Department of State believes that 22 U.S.C. 
2778, any regulation contained in the ITAR, or the terms of any U.S. 
Government export authorization (including the terms of a manufacturing 
license or technical assistance agreement, or export authorization 
granted pursuant to the Export Administration Act, as amended) has been 
violated by any party to the export or other person having a 
significant interest in the transaction; or whenever the Department of 
State deems such action to be in furtherance of world peace, the 
national security or the foreign policy of the United States, or is 
otherwise advisable.
    On December 2, 2008, the Department of State placed EP Investments, 
LLC, now Xe Services LLC (a/k/a Blackwater) (hereafter referred to as 
Xe), including its subsidiaries or associated companies, under a policy 
of denial to ensure that Xe is both capable of and willing to comply 
with the AECA and ITAR.
    On April 7, 2010, AAR International, Inc. (AAR) acquired some of 
Xe's former subsidiaries, including Presidential Airways, Inc.; 
Aviation Worldwide Services, LLC; Air Quest, Inc.; STI Aviation, Inc.; 
and EP Aviation, LLC

(together referred to as ``Presidential''). The Department of State has 
determined that AAR has taken appropriate steps to resolve 
Presidential's alleged violations. AAR has improved ITAR compliance 
procedures within Presidential and has entered into a civil settlement 
with the Department to resolve outstanding alleged violations, 
institute external compliance oversight, and continue and improve 
compliance measures involving Presidential.
    Therefore, the Department rescinds its denial policy against 
Presidential, effective July 15, 2010.

    Dated: July 15, 2010.
Andrew J. Shapiro,
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Department 
of State.
