Amendment to the Export Administration Regulations: Removal of 
Special Iraq Reconstruction License

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 
amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing the 
Special Iraq Reconstruction License (SIRL) from the EAR. This action 
furthers the objectives of the Retrospective Regulatory Review 
Initiative that directs BIS and other federal agencies to streamline 
regulations and reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens on the public. 
Specifically, the SIRL is outdated and seldom used by exporters, who 
now have more efficient options for exports and reexports to Iraq and 
transfers (in-country) in Iraq. This rule also makes conforming 
changes.

DATES: This rule is effective January 4, 2017.

Management and Compliance Division, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau 
of Industry and Security, by telephone at (202) 482-6396 or by email at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issues this final rule to 
remove the Special Iraq Reconstruction License (SIRL) provisions from 
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), consistent with the 
Retrospective Regulatory Review Initiative. In the preamble to the 
proposed rule published in the Federal Register on June 7, 2016 (81 FR 
36481) (hereinafter ``the June 7 proposed rule'' or ``the June 7 
rule''), BIS reviewed the origins of the SIRL, established in 2004 (69 
FR 46070, July 30, 2004) to supplement options to facilitate exports 
and reexports to Iraq and transfers within Iraq of items in furtherance 
of civil reconstruction and other projects in Iraq funded by specified 
entities, including the United States government. BIS also reviewed the 
record of related transactions since the SIRL was established.
    The record indicates that exporters supplying items used in support 
of the civil reconstruction efforts in Iraq have not relied on the SIRL 
to advance those efforts, apparently because of its complexity and 
narrowness. Further, since 2004, BIS processed only three applications 
for the SIRL and approved only one, as compared to over 400 approved 
individual license applications for the export of items to Iraq between 
2012 and 2015. Finally, with the implementation of updates to the EAR, 
the relative advantages of the SIRL have been offset by changes to 
individual licenses and other types of authorizations offered by BIS 
that provide less complex alternatives to the SIRL.
    Thus, consistent with the President's Retrospective Regulatory 
Review Initiative to streamline regulations and reduce unnecessary 
regulatory burdens on the public (see ``Improving Regulatory Review'' 
(Executive Order 13563 of January 18, 2011)), BIS

[[Page 87425]]

concluded that the SIRL proved not to be useful.
    BIS received no comments in response to the June 7 rule. BIS, 
therefore, publishes in final form the amendments to the EAR to remove 
the SIRL as described initially in the June 7 rule.

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 of March 
8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013) and as extended by the Notice of 
August 4, 2016, 81 FR 52587 (August 8, 2016), has continued the Export 
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act. 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). Executive 
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. 
This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of 
Executive Order 12866.
    2. This rule amends collections previously approved by the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) under Control Numbers 0694-0088, 
``Simplified Network Application Processing + System (SNAP+) and the 
Multi-Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour estimate of 
43.8 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748; and 0694-0137, 
``License Exemptions and Exclusions.''
    The total burden hours associated with the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA) and the aforementioned OMB 
Control Numbers are not expected to decrease significantly as a result 
of this removal of part 747 of the EAR because of the infrequent use of 
part 747 of the EAR by exporters.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of the 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 PRA, unless that collection of information displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    4. The Chief Counsel for Regulation at the Department of Commerce 
certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy at the Small Business 
Administration that this rule, if adopted, would not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The factual 
basis was published in the proposed rule and is not repeated here. BIS 
received no comments, which means there were no comments that addressed 
the economic impact of this rule on small entities. Therefore, a final 
regulatory flexibility analysis is not required and one was not 
prepared.
