This rule updates the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) legal authority paragraphs in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to cite a Presidential notice extending an emergency declared pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and also to remove one obsolete citation. This is a procedural rule that only updates authority paragraphs of the EAR to make them current and to avoid confusion. It does not alter any right, obligation or prohibition that applies to any person under the EAR.

Updated Statements of Legal Authority for the Export 
Administration Regulations

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule updates the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) legal 
authority paragraphs in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to 
cite a Presidential notice extending an emergency declared pursuant to 
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and also to remove one 
obsolete citation. This is a procedural rule that only updates 
authority paragraphs of the EAR to make them current and to avoid 
confusion. It does not alter any right, obligation or prohibition that 
applies to any person under the EAR.

DATES: The rule is effective July 11, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The authority for parts 730, 736 and 746 of the EAR (15 CFR parts 
730, 736 and 744) rests, in part, on Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 
2004--Blocking Property of Certain Persons and Prohibiting the Export 
of Certain Goods to Syria (69 FR 26751, 3 CFR, 2004 Comp., p. 168) and 
on annual notices by the President continuing that emergency. This rule 
updates the authority paragraphs in 15 CFR parts 730, 736 and 746 to 
cite the Notice of May 3, 2016, 81 FR 27293 (May 5, 2016), which 
continues that emergency.
    This rule also removes the citation to 30 U.S.C. 185(s), 185(u), 
which imposed certain restrictions on exports of crude oil, from the 
authority paragraph of 15 CFR part 738 because, as a result of Division 
O, Title 1, Section 101, subsection (b) of Public Law 114-113, the EAR 
no longer imposes a license requirement on exports of crude oil.
    This rule is purely procedural and makes no changes other than to 
revise CFR authority citations to make them current. It does not change 
the text of any section of the EAR, nor does it alter any right, 
obligation or prohibition that applies to any person under the EAR.

Export Administration Act

    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001, 
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by Executive Order 13637, 78 FR 
16129, 3 CFR, 2014 Comp., p. 223 and as extended by the Notice of 
August 7, 2015, 80 FR 48233 (August 11, 2015), has continued the Export 
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701). BIS continues to carry out the 
provisions of the Export Administration Act, as appropriate and to the 
extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222 as amended 
by Executive Order 13637.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). This rule 
does not impose any regulatory burden on the public and is consistent 
with the goals of Executive Order 13563. This 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 
does not involve any collection of information.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    4. The Assistant Secretary for Export Administration 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 they are unnecessary. This rule 
only updates legal authority citations. It clarifies information and is 
non-discretionary. This rule does not alter any right, obligation or 
prohibition that applies to any person under the EAR. Because these 
revisions are not substantive changes, it is unnecessary to provide 
notice and opportunity for public comment. In addition, the 30-day 
delay in effectiveness otherwise required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d) is not 
applicable because this rule is not a substantive rule. Because neither 
the Administrative Procedure Act nor any other law requires that notice 
and an opportunity for public comment be given for this rule, the 
analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 
et seq.) are not applicable.
