#  [Corrected]

**AGENCY:**

Department of State.

**ACTION:**

Final rule, correction.

**SUMMARY:**

The Department of State is correcting a final rule that appeared in the *Federal Register* of January 2, 2014 (79 FR 34). The final rule amended the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) as part of the President's Export Control Reform (ECR) effort.

**DATES:**

This rule is effective July 1, 2014.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Mr. C. Edward Peartree, Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls Policy, Department of State, telephone (202) 663-2792; email *[email protected].* ATTN: Regulatory Change, Corrections to Third ECR Final Rule.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

The Department provides the following corrections to the rule, “Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Third Rule Implementing Export Control Reform,” published on January 2, 2014, and effective on July 1, 2014 (79 FR 34). As part of the President's Export Control Reform (ECR) effort, the Department of State is amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to revise five more U.S. Munitions List (USML) categories and provide other changes.

The changes in this rule are meant to clarify the regulation by revising certain text and providing conforming updates to Supplement No. 1 to part 126, taking into account revisions made to the USML categories in the rule published on January 2, 2014. Additionally, supplement No. 1 to part 126 is amended by removing the note pertaining to cluster munitions (previously, Note 16) because its presence created unnecessary confusion with respect to U.S. policy on cluster munitions.

Pursuant to ECR, the Department of Commerce has been publishing revisions to the Export Administration Regulations, including various revisions to the Commerce Control List (CCL). Revision of the USML and CCL are coordinated so there is uninterrupted regulatory coverage for items moving from the jurisdiction of the Department of State to that of the Department of Commerce. However, the Department of Commerce's companion to the rule corrected in this notice ( *see* “Control of Military Training Equipment, Energetic Materials, Personal Protective Equipment, Shelters, Articles Related to Launch Vehicles, Missiles, Rockets, Military Explosives, and Related Items,” 79 FR 264) is not being corrected in this edition of the *Federal Register* .

The following corrections are made to the rule, “Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Third Rule Implementing Export Control Reform,” FR Doc. 2013-31323, published on January 2, 2014 (79 FR 34):
