SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Task Force on Editorial Issues (TFEI)
The Wassenaar Arrangement Task Force on Editorial Issues (TFEI)
made revisions, editorial in nature, to clarify, remove extraneous text
or correct text that appears in the Wassenaar Dual-Use List. This was
assigned to the TFEI by the Wassenaar Arrangement in order to bring the
Wassenaar Dual-Use List into conformity with TFEI guidelines. The TFEI
revisions (over 2,000) were agreed upon by the WA in December 2007.
Some of these revisions were made on October 14, 2008 (73 FR 60910) in
the rule entitled ``Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Agreements
Implementation: December 2007 Categories 1, 2, 3, 5 Parts I and II, 6,
7, and 9 of the Commerce Control List, Definitions; December 2006 Solar
Cells.'' More of these revisions are made in the rule entitled
``Wassenaar Arrangement 2008 Plenary Agreements Implementation:
Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Parts I and II, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Commerce
Control List, Definitions, Reports.'' This rule implements the
remaining TFEI revisions not included in either of the aforementioned

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
involves two collections of information subject to the PRA. One of the
collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694 0088,
``Multi Purpose Application,'' and carries a burden hour estimate of 58
minutes for a manual or electronic submission. The other of the
collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694 0106,
``Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements under the Wassenaar
Arrangement,'' and carries a burden hour estimate of 21 minutes for a
manual or electronic submission. Send comments regarding these burden
estimates or any other aspect of these collections of information,
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to OMB Desk Officer, New
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; and to Jasmeet Seehra,
OMB Desk Officer, by e-mail at [email protected] or by fax to (202)
395-7285; and to the Office of Administration, Bureau of Industry and
Security, Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,
Room 6622, Washington, DC 20230.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable
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 should be submitted to Sharron Cook, Office
of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of
Commerce,

Category 4--Computers is amended by revising Technical Note on
``Adjusted Peak Performance'' (``APP''), located at the end of Category
4, to read as follows:
Technical Note on ``Adjusted Peak Performance'' (``APP'')
``APP'' is an adjusted peak rate at which ``digital computers''
perform 64-bit or larger floating point additions and
multiplications.
Abbreviations used in this Technical Note
n number of processors in the ``digital computer''
I processor number (i,....n)
ti processor cycle time (ti = 1/Fi)
Fi processor frequency
Ri peak floating point calculating rate
Wi architecture adjustment factor
``APP'' is expressed in Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT), in units of
1012 adjusted floating point operations per second,
[[Page 65672]]
Outline of ``APP'' Calculation Method
1. For each processor i, determine the peak number of 64-bit or
larger floating-point operations, FPOi, performed per cycle for each
processor in the ``digital computer''.
Note: In determining FPO, include only 64-bit or larger floating
point additions and/or multiplications. All floating point
operations must be expressed in operations per processor cycle;
operations requiring multiple cycles may be expressed in fractional
results per cycle. For processors not capable of performing
calculations on floating-point operands of 64-bits or more the
effective calculating rate R is zero.
2. Calculate the floating point rate R for each processor.
Ri = FPOi/ti.
3. Calculate ``APP'' as
``APP'' = W1 x R1 + W2 x R2 + * * * + Wn x Rn.
4. For `vector processors', Wi = 0.9. For non-`vector
processors', Wi = 0.3.
Note 1: For processors that perform compound operations in a
cycle, such as an addition and multiplication, each operation is
counted.
Note 2: For a pipelined processor the effective calculating rate
R is the faster of the pipelined rate, once the pipeline is full, or
the non-pipelined rate.
Note 3: The calculating rate R of each contributing processor is
to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before
the ``APP'' of the combination is derived. Simultaneous operations
are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims
concurrent, parallel, or simultaneous operation or execution in a
manual or brochure for the computer.
Note 4: Do not include processors that are limited to input/
output and peripheral functions (e.g., disk drive, communication and
video display) when calculating ``APP''.
Note 5: ``APP'' values are not to be calculated for processor
combinations (inter)connected by ``Local Area Networks'', Wide Area
Networks, I/O shared connections/devices, I/O controllers and any
communication interconnection implemented by ``software''.
Note 6: ``APP'' values must be calculated for (1) processor
combinations containing processors specially designed to enhance
performance by aggregation, operating simultaneously and sharing
memory; or (2) multiple memory/processor combinations operating
simultaneously utilizing specially designed hardware.
Note 7: A `vector processor' is defined as a processor with
built-in instructions that perform multiple calculations on
floating-point vectors (one-dimensional arrays of 64-bit or larger
numbers) simultaneously, having at least 2 vector functional units
and at least 8 vector registers of at least 64 elements each.

Related Controls: (1) See also 7B101, 7B102 and 7B994. (2) This
entry does not control test, calibration or alignment equipment for
`Maintenance level I' or `Maintenance Level II'.
Related Definition: (1) ``Maintenance Level I'': The failure of
an inertial navigation unit is detected on the aircraft by
indications from the Control and Display Unit (CDU) or by the status
message from the corresponding sub-system. By following the
manufacturer's manual, the cause of the failure may be localized at
the level of the malfunctioning Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). The
operator then removes the LRU and replaces it with a spare. (2)
`Maintenance Level II': The defective LRU is sent to the maintenance
workshop (the manufacturer's or that of the operator responsible for
level II maintenance). At the maintenance workshop, the
malfunctioning LRU is tested by various appropriate means to verify
and localize the defective Shop Replaceable Assembly (SRA) module
responsible for the failure. This SRA is removed and replaced by an
operative spare. The defective SRA (or possibly the complete LRU) is
then shipped to the manufacturer. `Maintenance Level II' does not
include the removal of controlled accelerometers or gyro sensors
from the SRA.
