zero during the time when respondents
will not be completing and submitting
the forms during the seven-year
suspension. Should any changes
become necessary, they would be
submitted to OMB for approval.
This final rule does not impose any
additional reporting or recordkeeping
requirements on either small or large
California dried prune handlers. As
with all Federal marketing order
programs, reports and forms are
periodically reviewed to reduce
information requirements and
duplication by industry and public
sector agencies.
AMS is committed to complying with
the E-Government Act, to promote the
use of the internet and other
information technologies to provide
increased opportunities for citizen
access to Government information and
services, and for other purposes.
AMS has not identified any relevant
Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or
conflict with this action.
A proposed rule concerning this
action was published in the Federal
Register on October 12, 2023 (88 FR
70608). Copies of the proposed rule
were also mailed or sent via email to
California prune handlers. A copy of the
proposed rule was made available
through the internet by AMS via https://
www.regulations.gov. A 30-day
comment period ending November 13,
2023, was provided for interested
persons to respond to the proposal.
AMS received two comments. The first
comment was in support of the
proposal. The second commenter
presented an alternative to the proposed
suspension to transfer all remaining
marketing order provisions over to the
State of California Department of Food
and Agriculture. In response to the
second comment, the Committee
determined, and AMS agrees, that there
is no value in funding the
administrative duties prescribed under
the Order when the handling
regulations and reserve control
provisions are not in effect.
Additionally, AMS determined that the
suspension period, as established
herein, will provide ample time for the
consideration of other marketing
programs should the prune industry
choose to seek out such alternatives and
request that AMS terminate the Order
prior to the end of the suspension
period. However, if no such request to
terminate early is submitted or,
conversely, a petition for reinstatement
is not received during the suspension
period, AMS will proceed with
terminating the Order at end of the
2029–2030 crop year.

about the compliance guide should be
sent to Richard Lower at the previously
mentioned address in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
After consideration of all relevant
material presented, including the
information and recommendations
submitted by the Committee and other
available information, AMS has
determined that this rule tends to
effectuate the declared policy of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The European Union Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) submitted an
application to the FAA, on behalf of
Blackshape S.p.A., on February 10,
2020, for a type certificate for the Model
BK160–200 VLA. Under 14 CFR
21.17(b), VLA are a special class of
aircraft that utilize airworthiness criteria
the FAA finds to be appropriate to the
specific type design.
The BK160–200 is a single
reciprocating engine airplane (Lycoming
IO–320–D1B with constant speed
Hartzell propeller), full carbon
composite low wing design, with a
retractable tri-cycle landing gear. It has
conventional control systems (elevator,
aileron, rudder, flaps, and longitudinal
trim) and provides seats for two persons
in a tandem seat configuration with a
maximum takeoff gross weight (MTGW)
of 850 kilograms (kg) (1,874 pounds). It
also has advanced avionic displays, a
stall speed of 50 knots, a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery, and will perform
night visual flight rules (VFR)
operations.

These airworthiness criteria,
established under the provisions of
§ 21.17(b), are applicable to the
Blackshape S.p.A. Model BK160–200
VLA. Should Blackshape S.p.A. apply at
a later date for a change to the type
certificate to include another model,
these airworthiness criteria would apply
to that model as well, provided the FAA
finds them appropriate in accordance
with the requirements of subpart D to
part 21.
Revision of License Requirements of
Certain Cameras, Systems, or Related
Components
Conclusion
This action affects only the
airworthiness criteria for the Blackshape
S.p.A. Model BK160–200 VLA. It is not
a rule of general applicability.
Authority Citation
The authority citation for these
airworthiness criteria is as follows:

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
With this final rule, the
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
amends the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR), which it maintains,
by revising license requirements for
certain cameras, systems, and related
components. These revisions will better
align controls with technological and
commercial developments, such as the
items’ global commercial availability,
while recognizing the cooperative
strategic relationship the United States
has with our closest allies. In addition
to these changes, BIS is adding controls
on certain cameras that are not already
controlled by either export control
classification number (ECCN) 6A003 or
6A203. These new controls are detailed
under new ECCN 6A293, which is a
classification for temporary controls for
which BIS is seeking multilateral
agreement.
SUMMARY:
DATES:
This rule is effective March 8,
2024.

questions on the part 744 changes,
contact John Varesi at (202) 482–1114 or

or steven.clagett@bis.doc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
BIS is amending the EAR (15 CFR
parts 730–774) by revising the license
requirements for cameras in part 744
and by adding an ECCN that controls
additional cameras to part 774.
Background regarding these changes is
detailed below.
Part 744
Modification to Existing Camera License
Requirements
This rule revises paragraph (a)(1) to
§ 744.9 of the EAR. Prior to the effective
date of this rule, paragraph (a)(1) was
divided into (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii). To
help ensure the restrictions in this
paragraph are easily understood, this
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
rule restructures the paragraph by
adding (a)(1)(iii). The introductory text
of (a)(1) will retain the same background
information regarding applicable
reasons for control, but the specific
items discussed will be divided among
(a)(1)(i) through (iii).
Paragraph (a)(1)(i) will pertain to
commodities controlled by ECCN
6A003.a.3, 6A003.a.4, or 6A003.a.6 that
will be or are intended to be used by a
‘military end-user,’ as defined in
paragraph (d) of § 744.9, in all
destinations except Canada. This is a
structural change to the paragraph only;
the policy regarding these items remains
the same. Similarly, this rule does not
remove the license requirement forth in
new paragraph § 744.9(a)(1)(iii) for
cameras, systems and related
components being exported for
incorporation into foreign ‘‘military
commodities’’ specified in ECCN
0A919.
Paragraph (a)(1)(ii) will revise the
policy pertaining to the original items
(other than those controlled in
6A003.a.3, 6A003.a.4, and 6A003.a.6) by
adding the phrase ‘‘in all destinations
except countries specified in Country
Group A:1.’’ This change will thereby
more specifically focus the license
requirement for the export, reexport,
and transfer (in-country) on certain
cameras, systems, and related
components when destined for some of
our closest allies. With this revision, BIS
no longer requires a license for the
cameras, systems, and related
components described in ECCNs 0A504
(incorporating commodities controlled
by ECCNs 6A002 or 6A003, or
commodities controlled by 6A993.a that
meet the criterion of Note 3.a to
6A003.b.4), 6A002, 6A003 (other than
6A003.a.3, 6A003.a.4, and 6A003.a.6),
or 6A993.a (having a maximum frame
rate equal to or less than 9 Hz and thus
meeting the criteria of Note 3.a to
6A003.b.4), or 8A002.d when the items
are intended to be used by a military
end user in Country Group A:1
countries. Prior to publication of this
rule, a license was required for such
transactions to all destinations except
Canada.
With the effective date of this rule,
focal plane arrays will continue to
require a license to countries specified
in Country Groups A:1 under other
provisions of the EAR; these items are
controlled for Regional Stability (RS)
reasons to countries specified in RS
Column 1 on the Commerce Country
Chart in supplement no. 1 to part 738
of the EAR, as well as other parts of the
EAR (e.g., other sections in part 744 or
sanctions provisions in part 746). BIS
does not allow the use of License
