Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 23, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 68149

Rulemaking Requirements

This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866.
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 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. This regulation involves information collections previously approved by the OMB under control number 0694–0088, ‘‘MultiPurpose Application’’, which carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS–748, and which involves requirements in connection with Authorization Validated End-User. This rule is expected to result in an increase in license applications submitted to BIS. Total burden hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694– 0088 are not expected to increase significantly as a result of this rule.
This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined under Executive Order
The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable to this rule because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs function of the United States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under the Administrative Procedure Act or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., are not applicable. Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome on a continuing basis. Comments may be submitted to Sheila Quarterman, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 14th St. & Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 2705, Washington, DC 20230.
