Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
requests for the export or retransfer of
lethal defense articles to Indonesia (and
defense services related to such lethal
defense articles) pursuant to section 38
of the Arms Export Control Act will be
considered on a case-by-case basis.
DATES: Effective Date: March 29, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
James Juraska, Office of Defense Trade
Controls Policy, Department of State,
Telephone (202) 663–22860 or Fax (202)
261–8199.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is the
policy of the U.S. Government, effective
as of March 17, 2006, to consider on a
case-by-case basis applications for the
export of lethal defense articles and
related defense services to Indonesia.
Section 599F(b) of the FY 2006 Foreign
Operations, Export Financing and
Related Programs Appropriations Act
allows for the issuance of licenses for
the export of lethal defense articles for
the Indonesian Armed Forces should
the Secretary of State waive, as being in
the national security interest of the
United States, legislative requirements
for certification of certain conditions
pertaining to Indonesia. Such a waiver
was signed on November 16, 2005. The
Department has also determined that it
shall be U.S. Government policy to
consider on a case-by-case basis
applications for the export of lethal

defense articles and related defense
services to Indonesia.
Previously, Federal Register Notices
were published on October 14, 1999 (64
FR 55805), January 25, 2001 (66 FR
7836), and March 22, 2001 (66 FR
16085), that set forth a policy of denial
for new export requests for Indonesia
and suspended all licenses and
approvals to export or otherwise transfer
defense articles and defense services to
Indonesia, except for certain exports
related to commercial communication
satellites and Y2K compliance activities
that were not for the Indonesian
military; permitted review, on a case-bycase basis, of requests for the export of
C–130 spare parts to Indonesia,
including for the Government of
Indonesia; and, expanded the review, on
a case-by-case basis, to defense articles/
defense services exported to Indonesia
for ultimate end-use by a third-country,
respectively.
Further changes to the export policy
toward Indonesia were reflected in a
Federal Register Notice published on
December 18, 2001 (66 FR 65235) that
expanded the categories of defense
articles/defense services eligible for
consideration for export/transfer to
Indonesia, on a case-by-case basis, to
include: (a) Non-lethal defense articles
and spare parts; and (b) non-lethal,
safety-of-use spare parts for lethal enditems. For purposes of that Notice,
‘‘non-lethal defense articles’’ meant an
item not a weapon, ammunition, or
other equipment or material designed to
inflict serious bodily harm or death (see,
e.g., 10 U.S.C. 2557). Examples of safetyof-use items were cartridge actuated
devices, propellant actuated devices,
and technical manuals for military
aircraft for purposes of enhancing the
safety of the aircraft crew. No
distinction was made between
Indonesia’s existing and new inventory.
This Notice expands what may be
authorized for export to Indonesia to
include lethal defense articles
controlled on the U.S. Munitions List, as
well as defense services related to the
export of such lethal defense articles.
Applications for such exports will be
considered on a case-by-case basis in
accordance with standard practice.
This action is taken pursuant to
Sections 38 and 42 of the Arms Export
Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778, 2791) and
§ 126.7 of the ITAR in furtherance of the
foreign policy of the United States.
Dated: March 22, 2006.

Acting Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Political
Military Affairs, Department of State.
