SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This collection of information is
required by the Defense Production Act
(DPA). The DPA requires U.S. firms to
furnish information (15 CFR 701) to the
Department of Commerce regarding
offset agreements exceeding $5,000,000
in value associated with sales of weapon
systems or defense-related items to
foreign countries or foreign firms.
Offsets are industrial or commercial
compensation practices required as a
condition of purchase in either
government-to-government or
commercial sales of defense articles
and/or defense services as defined by
the Arms Export Control Act and the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations. Such offsets are required
by most major trading partners when
purchasing U.S. military equipment or
defense related items. An annual report
based on offset agreements and offset
transactions data reported to BIS by
industry is submitted to Congress on the
impact of offsets in defense trade on the
United States.
