SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 723(a)(1) of the Defense
Production Act of 1950, as amended
(DPA) (50 U.S.C. 4568 (2021)) requires
the President to submit an annual report
to Congress on the impact of offsets on
the U.S. defense industrial base. Section
723(a)(2) directs the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary) to prepare the
President’s report and to develop and
administer the regulations necessary to
collect offsets data from U.S. defense
exporters.
The authorities of the Secretary
regarding offsets have been delegated to
the Under Secretary of Commerce for
Industry and Security. The regulations
associated with offsets reporting are set
forth in part 701 of title 15 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (Offsets
Regulations). Offsets are compensation
practices required as a condition of
purchase in either government-togovernment or commercial sales of
defense articles and/or defense services,
as defined by the Arms Export Control
Act (22 U.S.C. 2778) and the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (22 CFR 120–130). Offsets
are also applicable to certain items
controlled on the Commerce Control list
(CCL) and with an Export Control
Classification Number (ECCN) including
the numeral ‘‘6’’ as its third character.
The CCL is found in Supplement No. 1
to part 774 of the Export Administration
Regulations.
An example of an offset is as follows:
A company that is selling a fleet of
military aircraft to a foreign government
may agree to offset the cost of the
aircraft by providing training assistance
to plant managers in the purchasing
country. Although this distorts the true
