Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 83 / Friday, April 29, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
would supersede and replace the
previous two IRPSs on the Committee.
The Board also made the following
minor changes in the interim final IRPS:
Inclusion of current position titles;
deletion of the requirement for quarterly
meetings (meetings will be held on an
as needed basis); and to make timing of
appeal of Committee decisions to the
NCUA Board consistent, inclusions of a
statement that all decisions appealable
to the Board are from the date of receipt
of decision.1
C. Summary of Comments
NCUA received three comments, two
from credit union trade associations and
one from a state credit union
association. All three commenters
generally supported the rule, but did
request additional changes. All three
commenters requested that appeals to
the Supervisory Review Committee be
more transparent. Ideas suggested by the
commenters included publishing on
NCUA’s website the names of the
committee members, the agenda and
dates of committee meetings, an annual
report of the committee’s actions, and
the decisions of the committee. NCUA
is considering ways to make the appeals
process more transparent, including
adding information about the
Committee and its functions to the
NCUA website. The Board, however,
does not believe it is necessary to
include any actions related to
transparency in this IRPS. The purpose
of the IRPS is to inform credit unions of
their rights of appeal to the Committee.
One commenter also requested that
NCUA clarify how credit unions can
appeal other supervisory and
examination matters that are outside the
scope of the Committee’s review.
Section B of this IRPS lists various
NCUA regulations addressing
procedures for other appealable issues.
In addition, Section B notes that the
Board serves as the final administrative
decision maker for major disputes not
covered by those other regulations or
this IRPS. Such matters should first be
pursued through the appropriate
Regional Office or the Office of
Corporate Credit Unions.

unions. For purposes of this analysis,
credit unions under $1 million in assets
are considered small credit unions.
This final IRPS expands the types of
determinations that credit unions may
appeal to the NCUA’s Supervisory
Review Committee and combines two
previous IRPS. This final IRPS imposes
no additional financial, regulatory or
other burden on credit unions. NCUA
has determined and certifies that this
final IRPS will not have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small
credit unions. Accordingly, NCUA has
determined that a Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis is not required.
Paperwork Reduction Act
NCUA has determined that this final
IRPS does not increase paperwork
requirements under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 and regulations
of the Office of Management and
Budget.
Executive Order 13132
Executive Order 13132 encourages
independent regulatory agencies to
consider the impact of their regulatory
actions on state and local interests. In
adherence to fundamental federalism
principles, NCUA, an independent
regulatory agency as defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(5), voluntarily complies
with the executive order. This final
IRPS applies to all credit unions that
appeal NCUA material supervisory
determinations before the NCUA
Supervisory Committee, but does not
have substantial direct effect 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. NCUA has
determined that this final IRPS does not
constitute a policy that has federalism
implications for purposes of the
executive order.
Assessment of Federal Regulations and
Policies on Families
NCUA has determined that this final
IRPS will not affect family well-being
within the meaning of Section 654 of
the Treasury and General Government
Appropriations Act, 1999, Public Law
105–277, 112 Stat. 2681 (1998).
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act
The Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub.
L. 104–121) provides generally for
congressional review of agency rules. A
reporting requirement is triggered in
instances where NCUA issues a final
rule as defined by Section 551 of the

3674 on January 20, 2011, is adopted as
a final IRPS without change.

Editorial Corrections to the Export
Administration Regulations
Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) publishes this final rule
to implement editorial corrections to the
Export Administration Regulations
(EAR). In particular, this rule corrects
the country entry for Syria on the
Commerce Country Chart to ensure that
the license requirements are accurately
represented. In addition, this rule
corrects other errors in the Commerce
Control List such as inaccurate
references, spelling and technical errors,
and removes superfluous wording to
ensure accuracy in the EAR.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is
effective: April 29, 2011.

SUMMARY:
This final
rule implements editorial corrections to
four parts of the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR), including several
Export Control Classification Number
(ECCN) entries. In particular, the Bureau
of Industry and Security (BIS) publishes
this rule to correct the country entry for
Syria on the Commerce Country Chart to
more clearly identify for exporters the
licensing requirements that apply to this
destination. In addition, this final rule
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
E:\FR\FM\29APR1.SGM
29APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 83 / Friday, April 29, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
corrects inaccurate references, spelling
and technical errors, and removes
superfluous wording to ensure accuracy
in the Commerce Control List (CCL).
The revisions made by this rule are
described more fully below in Code of
Federal Regulations part number order.
Part 732
On October 3, 2008 (73 FR 57495),
BIS published an interim final rule
entitled ‘‘Encryption Simplification,’’
which inadvertently removed
subparagraphs (1), (2), and (3) from
paragraph (b) of section 732.2. These
subsections discussed the scope of the
EAR in relation to publicly available
technology and software. This rule
restores those subparagraphs to section
732.2(b).
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
Part 738
On May 14, 2004 (69 FR 26766), BIS
added General Order No. 2 to
Supplement No. 1, Part 736 pursuant to
Section 5(a)(1) of the Syria
Accountability and Lebanese
Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003,
which requires a prohibition on the
export to Syria of all items on the CCL.
However, the May 14, 2004 rule
inaccurately represented the license
requirements for Syria on the Commerce
Country Chart (Supplement No. 1 to
part 738). This rule revises those
controls to ensure accurate licensing
information is provided to improve
compliance to the EAR. This rule
removes the ‘‘X’s’’ under all the reasons
for control, and adds in their place ‘‘See
General Order No. 2 in Supplement
No. 1 to Part 736 of the EAR to
determine whether a license is required
to export or reexport to this
destination.’’ Adding this notation to the
Commerce Country Chart does not
substantively change existing controls
related to Syria; it only serves to more
accurately cite the applicable regulatory
controls as set forth in the EAR.
Part 770
This rule revises section 770.2 to
remove inaccurate ECCN references in
paragraph (a)(1), which provides:
‘‘Interpretation 1: Anti-friction bearing
or bearing systems and specially
designed parts.’’ The references to the
five ECCNs in section 770.2 were
inadvertently retained in the regulations
when BIS removed the ECCNs from the
Commerce Control List (CCL) in an
interim rule published on January 15,
1998 rule (63 FR 2452). This rule
amends this error by removing the
references to ECCNs: 2A002, 2A003,
2A004, 2A005, and 2A006. This
amendment is being made to ensure
consistency with the EAR.

Jkt 223001
23873
Part 774
Category 2—Materials Processing
This rule revises a number of entries
with errors on the CCL to provide a
complete and more accurate description
of controls in certain ECCNs. A
description of the specific amendments
to the CCL is provided below. As
described below, the amendments apply
to ECCNs 0B002, 1B233, 1C006, 1E201,
1E355, 2B005, 6A995, 6D993, 7D001,
9D001, and 9D002.
ECCN 2B005 is amended to correct a
reference error made in a final rule
published on April 18, 2008 (73 FR
21035, 21039). This rule corrects the
misprint in ‘‘(3)’’ of the Related Controls
paragraph of ‘‘2B104’’ to read ‘‘2B105’’ to
make the reference accurate and
consistent with the EAR.
Category 0—Nuclear Materials,
Facilities, and Equipment [And
Miscellaneous Items]
ECCN 6A995 is amended to correct an
inadvertent error made in a final rule
published on November 5, 2007 (72 FR
62524, 62547). This rule corrects the
spelling of the word ‘‘or’’ after the word
‘‘than’’ and before the word ‘‘equal’’ in
the Note directly following paragraph
6A995.e.2.b. This change will ensure
consistency and accuracy in the EAR.
ECCN 6D993 is amended to correct a
technical error made in an interim rule
published on January 15, 1998 (63 FR
2452, 2535). This rule corrects the Unit
paragraph in the Lists of Items
Controlled to correctly coincide with
the nature of the controlled software by
removing the text ‘‘Equipment in
number; parts and accessories in’’ so
that the only remaining text is ‘‘$ value.’’
ECCN 0B002 is amended to
redesignate paragraphs that were not
correctly designated in an interim rule
published on January 15, 1998 (63 FR
2452, 2462–3). To revise the error, this
rule redesignates paragraphs f.1, f.2, g,
g.1, g.2, g.3, and g.4, as paragraphs e.1,
e.2, f, f.1, f.2, f.3, and f.4, respectively.
Category 1—Systems, Equipment, and
Components
ECCN 1B233 is amended to move a
paragraph that was misplaced below the
License Requirements section in a final
rule published on August 29, 2002 (67
FR 55594, 55602). This rule moves the
paragraph, ‘‘Facilities and plants
described in 1B233.a are subject to the
export licensing authority of the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (see 10 CFR
part 110)’’ from directly below the
License Requirement section and
relocates it to paragraph 2 in Related
Controls in the List of Items Controlled
section. This correction will ensure
accuracy and consistency within the
EAR.
ECCN 1C006 is amended to remove a
paragraph inadvertently left after the
technical note was removed in an
interim rule published on January 15,
1998 (63 FR 2452, 2471). This rule
removes paragraph ‘‘e’’ under the Items
paragraph of the Lists of Items
Controlled.
ECCN 1E201 is amended to correct an
inaccurate reference in the heading
published in an interim rule on January
15, 1998 (63 FR 2452, 2483). This rule
corrects an inaccurate reference in the
heading by revising the reference
‘‘1C002.a.2.c or .d’’ to read ‘‘1C002.b.3
and b.4.’’
ECCN 1E355 is amended to remove
superfluous wording published in an
interim rule on May 18, 1999 (64 FR
27138, 27150). Specifically, this rule
removes a redundant reference to the
acronym ‘‘CWC,’’ which stands for the
Chemical Weapons Convention, at the
end of paragraph ‘‘b.’’ under the Items
paragraph of the Lists of Items
Controlled.

Category 7—Navigation and Avionics
ECCN 7D001 is amended to correct a
grammatical error made in a final rule
published on November 5, 2007 (72 FR
62524, 62549). This rule adds a comma
between the words ‘‘systems’’ and
‘‘inertial’’ in the RS paragraph of the
License Requirements section to ensure
grammatical accuracy in the EAR.
Category 9—Aerospace and Propulsion
ECCN 9D001 is amended to correct a
technical error made in an interim rule
published on March 25, 1996 (61 FR
12713, 13032). This rule revises the
description of the software to which the
NS control applies in the License
Requirements section by adding the
phrase ‘‘and technology controlled by’’
to ensure accuracy in the application of
these controls. This additional language
ensures that 9E003 technology is not
improperly referred to as equipment.
ECCN 9D002 is amended to correct a
technical error made in a final rule
published on March 5, 2003 (68 FR
10586, 10608). This rule revises the
description of the software to which the
NS control applies in the License
Requirements section to ensure
accuracy in the application of these
controls. This additional wording
ensures that 9E003 technology is not
improperly referred to as equipment.

Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined
to be not significant for purposes of E.O.
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 Paperwork
Reduction Act, unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
Control Number. This rule does not
affect any paperwork collection. This
rule does not contain policies with
Federalism implications as that term is
defined under E.O. 13132.
3. The Department finds that there is
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to
waive the provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act requiring
prior notice and the opportunity for
public comment because it is
unnecessary. The revisions made by this
rule are administrative in nature and do
not affect the rights and obligations of
the public. Because these revisions are
not substantive changes to the EAR, it
is unnecessary to provide notice and
opportunity for public comment. In
addition, the 30-day delay in
effectiveness required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d)
is not applicable because this rule is not
a substantive rule. Notice of proposed
rulemaking and opportunity for public
comment are not required for this rule
under the Administrative Procedure Act
or by any other law, and the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are
not applicable.

Changes To Implement the Prioritized
Examination Track (Track I) of the
Enhanced Examination Timing Control
Procedures
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective and
applicability dates.
AGENCY:
On April 4, 2011, the United
States Patent and Trademark Office
(Office) published a final rule that
revises the rules of practice in patent
cases to implement a procedure under
which applicants may request
prioritized examination at the time of
filing of an application upon payment of
appropriate fees and compliance with
certain requirements (Track I final rule).
The prioritized examination procedure
is the first track (Track I) of a 3-Track
examination process designed to
provide applicants with greater control
over when their nonprovisional utility
and plant applications are examined
and to promote greater efficiency in the
patent examination process. The Track
I final rule states that the effective date
is May 4, 2011, and that a request for
prioritized examination may be
submitted with any original utility or
plant application filed on or after May
4, 2011. The Office is hereby notifying
the public that the Track I final rule
effective date and applicability date
have been delayed until further notice.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
for the amendments to 37 CFR 1.17 and
1.102 published at 76 FR 18399, April
4, 2011 (the Track I final rule) is delayed
until further notice. The Office will
publish a document in the Federal
Register announcing the new effective
date.
Applicability date: No request for
prioritized examination will be accepted
until further notice.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:27 Apr 28, 2011
Jkt 223001
On April
4, 2011, the Office published a final rule
that revises the rules of practice in
patent cases to implement a procedure
under which applicants may request
prioritized examination at the time of
filing of an application upon payment of
appropriate fees and compliance with
certain requirements (Track I final rule).
See Changes to Implement the
Prioritized Examination Track (Track I)
of the Enhanced Examination Timing
Control Procedures, 76 FR 18399 (Apr.
4, 2011). The Office set an aggregate goal
for the prioritized examination
procedure of providing a final
disposition within twelve months of
prioritized status being granted. See
Changes to Implement the Prioritized
Examination Track (Track I) of the
Enhanced Examination Timing Control
Procedures, 76 FR at 18401. The Office,
however, has found it necessary to
revise its patent examiner hiring plan
due to funding limitations. The revised
hiring plan does not permit the Office
to hire new examiners. With the current
level of resources, the Office will not be
able to meet the twelve-month
pendency goal in prioritized
examination applications without
impacting the non-prioritized
examination applications at this time.
Therefore, the Office is delaying the
effective date and applicability date of
the Track I final rule until further
notice. When the funding limitations are
resolved, the Office will issue a
subsequent notice identifying a revised
effective date and applicability date on
which the final rule shall apply.

Editorial Corrections to the Export Administration Regulations
AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) publishes this final
rule to implement editorial corrections to the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR). In particular, this rule corrects the country entry
for Syria on the Commerce Country Chart to ensure that the license
requirements are accurately represented. In addition, this rule
corrects other errors in the Commerce Control List such as inaccurate
references, spelling and technical errors, and removes superfluous
wording to ensure accuracy in the EAR.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective: April 29, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter
Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, by telephone at (202) 482-
4890 or by e-mail at sharron.cook@bis.doc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule implements editorial
corrections to four parts of the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR), including several Export Control Classification Number (ECCN)
entries. In particular, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
publishes this rule to correct the country entry for Syria on the
Commerce Country Chart to more clearly identify for exporters the
licensing requirements that apply to this destination. In addition,
this final rule
[[Page 23873]]
corrects inaccurate references, spelling and technical errors, and
removes superfluous wording to ensure accuracy in the Commerce Control
List (CCL). The revisions made by this rule are described more fully
below in Code of Federal Regulations part number order.
Part 732
On October 3, 2008 (73 FR 57495), BIS published an interim final
rule entitled ``Encryption Simplification,'' which inadvertently
removed subparagraphs (1), (2), and (3) from paragraph (b) of section
732.2. These subsections discussed the scope of the EAR in relation to
publicly available technology and software. This rule restores those
subparagraphs to section 732.2(b).
Part 738
On May 14, 2004 (69 FR 26766), BIS added General Order No. 2 to
Supplement No. 1, Part 736 pursuant to Section 5(a)(1) of the Syria
Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, which
requires a prohibition on the export to Syria of all items on the CCL.
However, the May 14, 2004 rule inaccurately represented the license
requirements for Syria on the Commerce Country Chart (Supplement No. 1
to part 738). This rule revises those controls to ensure accurate
licensing information is provided to improve compliance to the EAR.
This rule removes the ``X's'' under all the reasons for control, and
adds in their place ``See General Order No. 2 in Supplement No. 1 to
Part 736 of the EAR to determine whether a license is required to
export or reexport to this destination.'' Adding this notation to the
Commerce Country Chart does not substantively change existing controls
related to Syria; it only serves to more accurately cite the applicable
regulatory controls as set forth in the EAR.
Part 770
This rule revises section 770.2 to remove inaccurate ECCN
references in paragraph (a)(1), which provides: ``Interpretation 1:
Anti-friction bearing or bearing systems and specially designed
parts.'' The references to the five ECCNs in section 770.2 were
inadvertently retained in the regulations when BIS removed the ECCNs
from the Commerce Control List (CCL) in an interim rule published on
January 15, 1998 rule (63 FR 2452). This rule amends this error by
removing the references to ECCNs: 2A002, 2A003, 2A004, 2A005, and
2A006. This amendment is being made to ensure consistency with the EAR.
Part 774
This rule revises a number of entries with errors on the CCL to
provide a complete and more accurate description of controls in certain
ECCNs. A description of the specific amendments to the CCL is provided
below. As described below, the amendments apply to ECCNs 0B002, 1B233,
1C006, 1E201, 1E355, 2B005, 6A995, 6D993, 7D001, 9D001, and 9D002.
Category 0--Nuclear Materials, Facilities, and Equipment [And
Miscellaneous Items]
ECCN 0B002 is amended to redesignate paragraphs that were not
correctly designated in an interim rule published on January 15, 1998
(63 FR 2452, 2462-3). To revise the error, this rule redesignates
paragraphs f.1, f.2, g, g.1, g.2, g.3, and g.4, as paragraphs e.1, e.2,
f, f.1, f.2, f.3, and f.4, respectively.
Category 1--Systems, Equipment, and Components
ECCN 1B233 is amended to move a paragraph that was misplaced below
the License Requirements section in a final rule published on August
29, 2002 (67 FR 55594, 55602). This rule moves the paragraph,
``Facilities and plants described in 1B233.a are subject to the export
licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (see 10 CFR
part 110)'' from directly below the License Requirement section and
relocates it to paragraph 2 in Related Controls in the List of Items
Controlled section. This correction will ensure accuracy and
consistency within the EAR.
ECCN 1C006 is amended to remove a paragraph inadvertently left
after the technical note was removed in an interim rule published on
January 15, 1998 (63 FR 2452, 2471). This rule removes paragraph ``e''
under the Items paragraph of the Lists of Items Controlled.
ECCN 1E201 is amended to correct an inaccurate reference in the
heading published in an interim rule on January 15, 1998 (63 FR 2452,
2483). This rule corrects an inaccurate reference in the heading by
revising the reference ``1C002.a.2.c or .d'' to read ``1C002.b.3 and
b.4.''
ECCN 1E355 is amended to remove superfluous wording published in an
interim rule on May 18, 1999 (64 FR 27138, 27150). Specifically, this
rule removes a redundant reference to the acronym ``CWC,'' which stands
for the Chemical Weapons Convention, at the end of paragraph ``b.''
under the Items paragraph of the Lists of Items Controlled.
Category 2--Materials Processing
ECCN 2B005 is amended to correct a reference error made in a final
rule published on April 18, 2008 (73 FR 21035, 21039). This rule
corrects the misprint in ``(3)'' of the Related Controls paragraph of
``2B104'' to read ``2B105'' to make the reference accurate and
consistent with the EAR.
Category 6--Sensors and Lasers
ECCN 6A995 is amended to correct an inadvertent error made in a
final rule published on November 5, 2007 (72 FR 62524, 62547). This
rule corrects the spelling of the word ``or'' after the word ``than''
and before the word ``equal'' in the Note directly following paragraph
6A995.e.2.b. This change will ensure consistency and accuracy in the
EAR.
ECCN 6D993 is amended to correct a technical error made in an
interim rule published on January 15, 1998 (63 FR 2452, 2535). This
rule corrects the Unit paragraph in the Lists of Items Controlled to
correctly coincide with the nature of the controlled software by
removing the text ``Equipment in number; parts and accessories in'' so
that the only remaining text is ``$ value.''
Category 7--Navigation and Avionics
ECCN 7D001 is amended to correct a grammatical error made in a
final rule published on November 5, 2007 (72 FR 62524, 62549). This
rule adds a comma between the words ``systems'' and ``inertial'' in the
RS paragraph of the License Requirements section to ensure grammatical
accuracy in the EAR.
Category 9--Aerospace and Propulsion
ECCN 9D001 is amended to correct a technical error made in an
interim rule published on March 25, 1996 (61 FR 12713, 13032). This
rule revises the description of the software to which the NS control
applies in the License Requirements section by adding the phrase ``and
technology controlled by'' to ensure accuracy in the application of
these controls. This additional language ensures that 9E003 technology
is not improperly referred to as equipment.
ECCN 9D002 is amended to correct a technical error made in a final
rule published on March 5, 2003 (68 FR 10586, 10608). This rule revises
the description of the software to which the NS control applies in the
License Requirements section to ensure accuracy in the application of
these controls. This additional wording ensures that 9E003 technology
is not improperly referred to as equipment.
[[Page 23874]]
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of E.O. 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 Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget
Control Number. This rule does not affect any paperwork collection.
This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as
that term is defined under E.O. 13132.
3. The Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act
requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public comment because
it is unnecessary. The revisions made by this rule are administrative
in nature and do not affect the rights and obligations of the public.
Because these revisions are not substantive changes to the EAR, it is
unnecessary to provide notice and opportunity for public comment. In
addition, the 30-day delay in effectiveness required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d)
is not applicable because this rule is not a substantive rule. Notice
of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for public comment are not
required for this rule under the Administrative Procedure Act or by any
other law, and the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.
