Abstract of proposed collection: The
export, temporary import, and brokering
of defense articles, defense services, and
related technical data are licensed by
the Directorate of Defense Trade
Controls (DDTC) in accordance with the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (‘‘ITAR,’’ 22 CFR Parts 120–
130) and Section 38 of the Arms Export
Control Act (AECA). Those who
manufacture or export defense articles,
defense services, and related technical
data, or the brokering thereof, must
register with the Department of State.
Persons desiring to engage in export,
temporary import, and brokering
activities must submit an application or
written request to conduct the
transaction to the Department to obtain
a decision whether it is in the interests
of U.S. foreign policy and national
security to approve the transaction.
Also, registered brokers must submit
annual reports regarding all brokering
activity that was transacted, and
registered manufacturers and exporter
must maintain records of defense trade
activities for five years.
ITAR § 126.18 eliminates, subject to
certain conditions, the requirement for
an approval by DDTC of the transfer of
unclassified defense articles, which
includes technical data, within a foreign
business entity, foreign governmental
entity, or international organization,
that is an approved or otherwise
authorized end-user or consignee
(including transfers to approved sublicensees) for those defense articles,
including the transfer to dual nationals
or third-country nationals who are bona
fide regular employees, directly
employed by the foreign consignee or
end-user. The conditions are that
effective procedures must be in place to
prevent diversion to any destination,
entity, or for purposes other than those
authorized by the applicable export
license or other authorization. Those
conditions can be met by requiring a
security clearance approved by the host
nation government for its employees, or
the end-user or consignee have in place
a process to screen all its employees and
to have executed a Non-Disclosure
Agreement that provides assurances that
the employee will not transfer any
defense articles to persons or entities
unless specifically authorized by the
consignee or end-user. ITAR § 126.18
also provides that the technology
security/clearance plan, screening

records, and Non-Disclosure
Agreements will be made available to

purposes upon request.

collection may be sent to the Directorate
of Defense Trade Controls via the
following methods: electronically or

Designation and Determination under
the Foreign Missions Act
Pursuant to the authority vested in the
Secretary of State by the laws of the
United States, including the Foreign
Missions Act (codified at 22 U.S.C.
4301–4316) (hereinafter ‘‘the Act’’), and
delegated by the Secretary to me as the
Under Secretary of State for
Management in Delegation of Authority
No. 198, dated September 16, 1992, and
consistent with the Taiwan Relations
Act (codified at 22 U.S.C. 3301–3316), I
hereby determine that the Taipei
Economic and Cultural Representative
Office in the United States (hereinafter,
‘‘TECRO’’), including its real property
and personnel, is a ‘‘foreign mission’’
within the meaning of section 202(a)(3)
of the Act (22 U.S.C. 4302(a)(3)).
TECRO consists of its primary office,
located in the District of Columbia, and
its subsidiary offices known as Taipei
Economic and Cultural Offices, located
in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Guam,
Honolulu, Houston, Kansas City, Los
Angeles, Miami, New York, San
Francisco, Seattle, and such additional
locations as may be agreed upon
between the American Institute in
Taiwan (hereinafter, ‘‘AIT’’) and
TECRO.
I further determine that TECRO’s
primary office in the District of
Columbia used for the performance of
TECRO’s authorized functions, and
annexes to such office (including
ancillary offices and support facilities),
and including the site and any building
on such site which is used for such
functions, is a ‘‘chancery’’ for purposes
of 22 U.S.C. 4306.
After due consideration of the
benefits, privileges, and immunities
provided to AIT, as well as matters
related to the protection of the interests
of the United States, on the basis of
reciprocity between AIT and TECRO, I
hereby designate the following as
benefits for purposes of the Act:
• For TECRO designated employees,
exemption from all taxes and dues
imposed by state, county, municipality

and territorial authorities in the United
States in connection with the ownership
or operation of a motor vehicle;
• For qualifying dependents of a
TECRO designated employee,
exemption from state, county,
municipality and territorial sales or
other similarly imposed consumption
taxes in the United States, except those
normally included in the price of goods
and services, or charges for specific
services rendered; and
• Exemption from state, county,
municipal and territorial taxes in the
United States (‘‘real estate taxes’’)—
including, but not limited to, annual
property tax, recordation tax, transfer
tax, and the functional equivalent of
deed registration charges and stamp
duties—on the basis of real property’s
authorized use for the performance of
TECRO’s authorized functions and for
which TECRO would otherwise be
liable.
For purposes of this determination,
the term ‘‘TECRO designated
employees’’ means persons duly
notified to and accepted by AIT as
designated employees of TECRO at its
primary office or one of its subsidiary
offices, including the heads of such
offices. It shall not apply with respect to
any person who is a national of, or is
permanently resident in, the United
States.
I determine that TECRO is required to
obtain the exemption of real estate taxes
through the Department of State’s Office
of Foreign Missions (OFM) and that any
tax exemption designated as a benefit in
this determination shall be provided on
such terms and conditions as OFM may
approve. The manner in which an
exemption from real estate taxes shall be
extended by states, counties,
municipalities, and territories shall also
be subject to such terms and conditions
as OFM may approve.
Following are the current terms and
conditions governing the provision of
exemptions from real estate taxes to
TECRO on the basis of a property’s
authorized use for the performance of
TECRO’s authorized functions:
• Such property must be:
Æ the premises of TECRO’s primary
office or one of its subsidiary offices,
that is owned by TECRO’s primary
office, one of its subsidiary offices, the
head of such an office, a component of
such an office, or the authorities on
Taiwan;
Æ the primary residence of the head
of TECRO primary office or one of its
subsidiary offices, that is owned by
TECRO’s primary office, one of its
subsidiary offices, the head of such an
office, a component of such an office, or
the authorities on Taiwan;

Æ the primary residence of a member
of the staff of TECRO’s primary office or
one of its subsidiary offices, that is
owned by TECRO’s primary office, one
of its subsidiary offices, a component of
such an office, or the authorities on
Taiwan;
Æ a residence for temporarily lodging
representatives or employees of the
authorities on Taiwan who visit the
United States in connection with the
performance of TECRO’s authorized
functions, that is owned by TECRO’s
primary office, one of its subsidiary
offices, a component of such an office,
or the authorities on Taiwan; or
Æ owned by TECRO’s primary office,
one if its subsidiary offices, a
component of such an office, or the
authorities on Taiwan for the purpose of
constructing or renovating facilities that
will be used for the performance of
TECRO’s authorized functions, provided
that OFM authorized the acquisition of
such property.
• The determination of TECRO’s
entitlement to an exemption from real
estate taxes associated with a property
of a type described above, on the basis
of the property’s authorized use for the
performance of TECRO’s authorized
functions, is committed to the discretion
of the Department of State, in
consultation with AIT. Such
determinations are made by OFM and
are communicated by letter to the
relevant state, county, municipal or
territorial revenue authorities.
• All such letters will be signed by
the Director of OFM’s Office of
Diplomatic Property, Taxes, Services
and Benefits (OFM/PTSB), or a
successor office.
• Such letters serve as official notice
to the relevant state, county,
municipality, or territory that the
described property, or acquisition or
disposition thereof, is or is not entitled
to an exemption from real estate taxes
on the basis of the property’s authorized
use for the performance of TECRO’s
authorized functions.
• States, counties, municipalities, and
territories are prohibited from extending
to TECRO an exemption from real estate
taxes associated with a property on the
basis of the property’s authorized use
for the performance of TECRO’s
authorized functions, except on the
basis of written authorization from
OFM.
• Conversely, on the basis of a letter
as described above, states, counties,
municipalities, and territories are
required to extend to TECRO an
exemption from real estate taxes to
which OFM determines TECRO is
entitled. If a state, county, municipality
or territory has concerns regarding the
