Final rule.
SUMMARY:
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) is amending a number of its regulations by making minor, non-substantive revisions.

The rule also establishes a new part that implements Ex-Im Bank's authority, found at 12 U.S.C. 635(a)(1), to collect reasonable fees to cover the cost of conferences, seminars and publications.
DATES:
The effective date for this final is November 27, 2007.

End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Ex-Im Bank recently reviewed its existing regulations to ensure that they accurately reflect the Bank's current operating procedures. The review revealed that minor, nonsubstantive revisions are necessary to part 407 (governing the public observation of Ex-Im Bank meetings) and part 403 (governing the procedures for handling and safeguarding classified information). The review also indicated the need for a regulation implementing the Bank's statutory authority to collect conference and publication fees.
B. Regulatory Changes
Part 407
This Part contains Ex-Im Bank's regulations governing the public observation of its Board of Director meetings, promulgated in part under the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(g). Several provisions within this part make reference to the “Executive Committee of the Board of Directors,” an entity that no longer exists. The amendment deletes these references. A couple of provisions also make reference to regularly scheduled Board meetings as being held on Thursdays at 9 a.m. The meetings are now held at 9:30 a.m., and the amendments reflect this change.
Section 403.11
This section concerns classification, declassification and safeguarding of national security information and details enforcement and investigation procedures. Subsection 403.11(b)(12) currently requires Ex-Im Bank to consult with the Department of Justice's Criminal Division prior to taking action against an employee in connection with an unauthorized disclosure of classified information. Disclosures of classified information are now handled by the Department of Justice's National Security Division, and the amendment reflects this change.
Section 414
This new section is created to implement Ex-Im Bank's authority, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 635(a)(1), to collect reasonable fees to cover the costs of conferences, seminars and publications.
