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 the most recent Presidential notice extending an emergency 
declared pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. 
This is a procedural rule that only updates authority paragraphs of the 
EAR. It does not alter any right, obligation or prohibition that 
applies to any person under the EAR.

DATES: The rule is effective September 1, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Arvin, Regulatory Policy 
Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Telephone: (202) 482-2440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Authority for all parts of the EAR other than part 745 rests, in 
part, on Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001--National Emergency 
with Respect to Export Control Regulations, 66 FR 44025, 3 CFR, 2001 
Comp., p. 783 and on annual notices extending the emergency declared in 
that executive order. This rule revises the authority paragraphs for 
the affected parts of the EAR to cite the most recent such notice, 
which the President signed on August 4, 2016.
    This rule is purely procedural and makes no changes other than to 
revise CFR authority paragraphs for the purpose of making the authority 
citations 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.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory

[[Page 60255]]

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 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 
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 of proposed rulemaking 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. Accordingly, no Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is 
required and none has been prepared.
