SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of State is amending the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) to implement
section 520 of the Consolidated and
Further Continuing Appropriations Act
2012 (Pub. L. 112–55), which applies to
fiscal year 2012 appropriations, as
carried forward for fiscal year 2013 by
the Full Year Continuing
Appropriations Act 2013 (Pub. L. 113–
6). The Department has the authority to
regulate the export control program
pursuant to the Arms Export Control
Act, 22 U.S.C. 2778.
Pursuant to section 520, the
Department cannot require a license for
the export of certain firearms and
firearms components for end-use by the
Canadian government with a total
transaction value not exceeding $500
wholesale, and cannot require a license
for the export of certain firearms
components for end-use in Canada with
a total transaction value not exceeding
$500 wholesale. ITAR § 123.17 is
revised accordingly. In addition, ITAR
§ 123.16(b)(6) is amended to remove the
words ‘‘for personal use,’’ as the
firearms exemption at ITAR § 123.17
includes use of the exemption for an
end-use other than personal use.
This rule implements a statutory
mandate, and concerns a foreign affairs
function of the United States. Therefore,
the Department is publishing this as a

Regulatory Analysis and Notices
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Administrative Procedure Act
The Department of State is of the
opinion that controlling the import and
export of defense articles and services is
a foreign affairs function of the United
States Government and that rules
implementing this function are exempt
from sections 553 (rulemaking) and 554
(adjudications) of the Administrative
Procedure Act. Since the Department is
of the opinion that this rule is exempt
from 5 U.S.C. 553, it is the view of the
Department that the provisions of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:01 Jul 05, 2013
Jkt 229001
§ 553(d) do not apply to this
rulemaking. Therefore, this rule is
effective upon publication.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Since the Department is of the
opinion that this rule is exempt from the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553, there is no
requirement for an analysis under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rulemaking 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.
Executive Order 13175
The Department of State has
determined that this rulemaking will
not have tribal implications, will not
impose substantial direct compliance
costs on Indian tribal governments, and
will not pre-empt tribal law.
Accordingly, the provisions of
Executive Order 13175 do not apply to
this rulemaking.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996
This rulemaking 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 rulemaking 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 rulemaking
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 rulemaking.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is

(including potential economic,

These executive orders stress the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has been
designated ‘‘significant regulatory
actions,’’ although not economically
significant, under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly,
this rule has been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
Executive Order 12988
The Department of State has reviewed
this rulemaking 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of State is amending the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to implement section
520 of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act 2012
(Pub. L. 112-55), which applies to fiscal year 2012 appropriations, as
carried forward for fiscal year 2013 by the Full Year Continuing
Appropriations Act 2013 (Pub. L. 113-6). The Department has the
authority to regulate the export control program pursuant to the Arms
Export Control Act, 22 U.S.C. 2778.
Pursuant to section 520, the Department cannot require a license
for the export of certain firearms and firearms components for end-use
by the Canadian government with a total transaction value not exceeding
$500 wholesale, and cannot require a license for the export of certain
firearms components for end-use in Canada with a total transaction
value not exceeding $500 wholesale. ITAR Sec. 123.17 is revised
accordingly. In addition, ITAR Sec. 123.16(b)(6) is amended to remove
the words ``for personal use,'' as the firearms exemption at ITAR Sec.
123.17 includes use of the exemption for an end-use other than personal
use.
This rule implements a statutory mandate, and concerns a foreign
