The Department of State is
correcting a final rule that appeared in
the Federal Register of July 8, 2013 (78
FR 40922). That rule amended the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) to revise four U.S.
Munitions List (USML) categories and
provide new and revised definitions.
DATES: This rule is effective January 6,
2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department provides the following
corrections to the rule, ‘‘Amendment to
SUMMARY:

the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations: Continued Implementation
of Export Control Reform,’’ published
on July 8, 2013 and effective on January
6, 2014 (78 FR 40922). As part of the
President’s Export Control Reform (ECR)
effort, that rule amended the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) to revise four U.S.
Munitions List (USML) categories and
provide new and revised definitions.
The changes in this rule are meant to
clarify the regulation by correcting
punctuation, providing exact effective
dates for the paragraphs regarding
developmental articles, and providing a
revised Supplement No. 1 to part 126,
which takes into account the changes
made to the USML categories revised in
the rule published on July 8, 2013.
Pursuant to ECR, the Department of
Commerce has been publishing
revisions to the Export Administration
Regulations, including various revisions
to the Commerce Control List (CCL).
Revision of the USML and CCL are
coordinated so there is uninterrupted
regulatory coverage for items moving
from the jurisdiction of the Department
of State to that of the Department of
Commerce. The Department of
Commerce’s companion to the rule
corrected in this notice (see ‘‘Revisions
to the Export Administration
Regulations: Military Vehicles; Vessels
of War; Submersible Vessels,
Oceanographic Equipment; Related
Items; and Auxiliary and Miscellaneous
Items That the President Determines No
Longer Warrant Control Under the
United States Munitions List,’’ 78 FR
40892) is also corrected in this edition
of the Federal Register.
The following corrections are made to
the rule, ‘‘Amendment to the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations: Continued Implementation
of Export Control Reform,’’ published
on July 8, 2013:
■ 1. On page 40924, in the third column,
in the second from last paragraph, after
‘‘introduction,’’ add the following: ‘‘The
Department also notes that paragraph
(d)(1) controls ablative materials,
articles the subject of unrevised USML
Category IV(f). The Department
reiterates the principle provided in the
first rule implementing Export Control
Reform (see 78 FR 22740): where there
is overlap in control regarding a
particular article, the control of the
revised USML category supersedes that
of the unrevised USML category.’’

ACTION:
As part of the President’s
Export Control Reform (ECR) effort, the
Department of State is amending the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) to revise five more
U.S. Munitions List (USML) categories
and provide other changes. The
revisions contained in this rule are part
of the Department of State’s
retrospective plan under E.O. 13563.
DATES: This rule is effective July 1,
2014.

Third ECR Final Rule. The Department
of State’s full retrospective plan can be
accessed at https://www.state.gov/
documents/organization/181028.pdf.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls
(DDTC), U.S. Department of State,
administers the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR parts
120–130). The items subject to the
jurisdiction of the ITAR, i.e., ‘‘defense
articles’’ and ‘‘defense services,’’ are
identified on the ITAR’s U.S. Munitions
List (USML) (22 CFR 121.1). With few
exceptions, items not subject to the
export control jurisdiction of the ITAR
are subject to the jurisdiction of the
Export Administration Regulations
(‘‘EAR,’’ 15 CFR parts 730–774, which
includes the Commerce Control List
(CCL) in Supplement No. 1 to part 774),
administered by the Bureau of Industry
and Security (BIS), U.S. Department of
Commerce. Both the ITAR and the EAR
impose license requirements on exports,
reexports, and retransfers. Items not
subject to the ITAR or to the exclusive
licensing jurisdiction of any other set of
regulations are subject to the EAR.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:09 Dec 31, 2013
Jkt 232001
All references to the USML in this
rule are to the list of defense articles
controlled for the purpose of export or
temporary import pursuant to the ITAR,
and not to the defense articles on the
USML that are controlled by the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives (ATF) for the purpose of
permanent import under its regulations.
See 27 CFR part 447. Pursuant to section
38(a)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act
(AECA), all defense articles controlled
for export or import are part of the
USML under the AECA. For the sake of
clarity, the list of defense articles
controlled by ATF for the purpose of
permanent import is the U.S. Munitions
Import List (USMIL). The transfer of
defense articles from the ITAR’s USML
to the EAR’s CCL for the purpose of
export control does not affect the list of
defense articles controlled on the
USMIL under the AECA for the purpose
of permanent import.
Export Control Reform Update
Pursuant to the President’s Export
Control Reform (ECR) initiative, the
Department published proposed
revisions to thirteen USML categories—
and upon the effective date of this rule
will have revised fifteen USML
categories—to create a more positive
control list and eliminate, where
possible, ‘‘catch all’’ controls in the
USML. The Department, along with the
Departments of Commerce and Defense,
reviewed the public comments the
Department received on the proposed
rules and, where appropriate, revised
the rules. A discussion of the comments
relevant to the USML categories that are
part of this rule is included later on in
this rule. The Department continues to
review the remaining USML categories
and will publish them as proposed rules
in the coming months.
Discussions of the public comments
relevant to six of the USML categories
that have been published as final rules
are in ‘‘Amendment to the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations: Initial
Implementation of Export Control
Reform,’’ published April 16, 2013 (78
FR 22740), and ‘‘Amendment to the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations: Continued Implementation
of Export Control Reform,’’ published
July 8, 2013 (78 FR 40922). These rules
also contain policies and procedures
regarding the licensing of items moving
from the export jurisdiction of the
Department of State to the Department
of Commerce, a definition for specially
designed, responses to public
comments, and changes to other
sections of the ITAR that affect the
categories discussed in this rule.

Pursuant to ECR, the Department of
Commerce has been publishing
revisions to the EAR, including various
revisions to the CCL. Revision of the
USML and CCL are coordinated so there
is uninterrupted regulatory coverage for
items moving from the jurisdiction of
the Department of State to that of the
Department of Commerce. The
Department of Commerce’s companion
to this rule is, ‘‘Control of Military
Training Equipment, Energetic
Materials, Personal Protective
Equipment, Shelters, Articles Related to
Launch Vehicles, Missiles, Rockets,
Military Explosives, and Related Items.’’
It is published elsewhere in this edition
of the Federal Register.
Changes in This Rule
The following changes are made to
the ITAR with this final rule: (i)
Revision of U.S. Munitions List (USML)
Categories IV (Launch Vehicles, Guided
Missiles, Ballistic Missiles, Rockets,
Torpedoes, Bombs, and Mines), V
(Explosives and Energetic Materials,
Propellants, Incendiary Agents, and
Their Constituents), IX (Military
Training Equipment), X (Personal
Protective Equipment), and XVI
(Nuclear Weapons Related Articles); (ii)
addition of a definition for the term
‘‘equipment’’; (iii) continued
implementation of a new licensing
procedure for the export of items subject
to the EAR that are to be exported with
defense articles; and (iv) related changes
to other ITAR sections.
Revision of USML Category IV
This final rule revises USML Category
IV, covering launch vehicles, guided
missiles, ballistic missiles, rockets,
torpedoes, bombs, and mines, to
describe more precisely the articles
warranting control on the USML.
Paragraph (a) is revised to remove
demolition blocks and blasting caps,
and to add subparagraphs (1) through
(12) to more clearly describe the articles
controlled in (a). ITAR § 121.11, which
further describes demolition blocks and
blasting caps, is removed. Paragraphs (b)
and (d) are revised to more specifically
enumerate the articles controlled
therein. The articles of paragraph (e),
military explosive excavating devices,
are transferred to the jurisdiction of the
Department of Commerce under ECCN
0A604.b. The articles of paragraph (f),
ablative materials, were moved to USML
Category XIII(d) (see 78 FR 40922).
Paragraph (h) is revised by removing its
broad catch-all wording and adding
subparagraphs (1) through (29) to
specifically enumerate the articles
controlled in that paragraph. In
addition, articles common to the Missile

Change, Corrections to Second ECR Final Rule.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department provides the following
corrections to the rule, ``Amendment to the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations: Continued Implementation of Export Control Reform,''
published on July 8, 2013 and effective on January 6, 2014 (78 FR
40922). As part of the President's Export Control Reform (ECR) effort,
that rule amended the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
to revise four U.S. Munitions List (USML) categories and provide new
and revised definitions.
The changes in this rule are meant to clarify the regulation by
correcting punctuation, providing exact effective dates for the
paragraphs regarding developmental articles, and providing a revised
Supplement No. 1 to part 126, which takes into account the changes made
to the USML categories revised in the rule published on July 8, 2013.
Pursuant to ECR, the Department of Commerce has been publishing
revisions to the Export Administration Regulations, including various
revisions to the Commerce Control List (CCL). Revision of the USML and
CCL are coordinated so there is uninterrupted regulatory coverage for
items moving from the jurisdiction of the Department of State to that
of the Department of Commerce. The Department of Commerce's companion
to the rule corrected in this notice (see ``Revisions to the Export
Administration Regulations: Military Vehicles; Vessels of War;
Submersible Vessels, Oceanographic Equipment; Related Items; and
Auxiliary and Miscellaneous Items That the President Determines No
Longer Warrant Control Under the United States Munitions List,'' 78 FR
40892) is also corrected in this edition of the Federal Register.
The following corrections are made to the rule, ``Amendment to the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Continued Implementation of
Export Control Reform,'' published on July 8, 2013:
0
1. On page 40924, in the third column, in the second from last
paragraph, after ``introduction,'' add the following: ``The Department
also notes that paragraph (d)(1) controls ablative materials, articles
the subject of unrevised USML Category IV(f). The Department reiterates
the principle provided in the first rule implementing Export Control
Reform (see 78 FR 22740): where there is overlap in control regarding a
particular article, the control of the revised USML category supersedes
that of the unrevised USML category.''
