Abstract of Proposed Collection
This information collection is used for
two main purposes: (1) the collection
and submission of information required
for DDTC approval of a reexport or
retransfer; and (2) the collection and
retention of certain information for
authorizations and other approvals,
including for reexports and retransfers
under an Open General License (OGL)
program. Under § 123.9(a) of the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR), unless an
exemption applies, DDTC’s written
approval must be obtained before
reselling, transferring, reexporting,
retransferring, transshipping, or
disposing of a defense article to any
end-user, end-use, or destination other
than as stated on the export license or
in the Electronic Export Information
filing in cases where an exemption was
claimed. Such approval is normally
granted through case-by-case review of
requests to authorize specific transfers.
In addition, ITAR § 126.9(b) allows
DDTC to provide export authorization
for DDTC’s own initiatives, including
pilot programs and other specifically
anticipated circumstances for which
DDTC considers special authorizations
appropriate. DDTC has launched a pilot
program pursuant to its authorities in
ITAR § 126.9(b) in order to assess the
concept of an OGL mechanism by which
it may authorize certain transfers of
defense articles to predetermined
parties. OGLs eliminate the need for the
Department to individually review and
approve certain lower-risk transactions
involving certain recipients. DDTC
believes the OGL pilot program will
provide unprecedented flexibility for
the U.S. defense industry and U.S. allies
to operate consistent with the ITAR and
will enhance their ability to maintain,
repair, and store defense articles.Under
ITAR § 123.1(c), DDTC may require
pertinent documentation regarding the
proposed transaction and proper
completion of the application form,
including information about the
quantity and value of the defense article
proposed for export and information on
the proposed end-user, end-use, and
ultimate destination. Under ITAR
§ 123.9(c), foreign persons who seek
approval from DDTC to reexport or
retransfer defense articles are required
to submit a description, quantity, and
value of the defense article; a
description and identification of the
new end-user, end-use, and destination.
Under ITAR § 123.26 any foreign person
engaging in any reexport or retransfer of
a defense article pursuant to an
exemption must maintain records of
each such transfer including the
E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM
28SEN1
58896
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 28, 2022 / Notices
following information: A description of
the defense article, including technical
data, or defense service; the name and
address of the end-user and other
available contact information (e.g.,
telephone number and email address);
the name of the natural person
responsible for the transaction; the
stated end-use of the defense article or
defense service; the date of the
transaction; and the method of
transmission.DDTC seeks to ensure that
foreign persons who rely on any current
or future OGLs to conduct reexports and
retransfers abroad retain the same
records as would be required if their
transactions were authorized by either a
specific license or an exemption.
Accordingly, DDTC has restated the
record-keeping requirements articulated
in ITAR § 123.26 in the OGLs
themselves.
Methodology
Respondents will submit information
as attachments to relevant license
applications or requests for other
approval. Applicants are referred to
ITAR § 123.9 for guidance on what
information to submit regarding the
request to change end-user, end-use
and/or destination of hardware. This
information may be submitted
electronically via a DS–6004, Reexport/
Retransfer Application, through DDTC’s
case management system, the Defense
Export Control and Compliance System
(DECCS).
Separately, under the OGL program,
as described in each OGL, and as also
described in ITAR § 123.26, respondents
will be required to retain certain
information in their own records for a
period of five years from the date of the
reexport or retransfer.

‘In carrying out laws related to a
broadcast application—the
Administrator of the Federal Aviation
Administration and the Federal
Communications Commission shall take
action necessary to coordinate
efficiently—(1) The receipt and
consideration of, and action on, the
application; and (2) The completion of
any associated aeronautical study.
Currently, transmitter broadcast radio
frequency data is collected via OMB
Control 2120–0786 to address nonFederal, military, U.S. federal agency,
state and municipalities broadcast
applications which require
consideration, analysis or aeronautical
studies pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Section
44718(c).

managers, including military services,
who have a need to transmit on a radio
frequency which is within the National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration’s (NTIA) Aviation
Assignment Group (AAG) frequency
band assigned to the FAA for civil
aviation use. The response to this data
collection is required for the proponent
to obtain FAA concurrence to use a
radio frequency that impacts civil
aviation. The information collected

Methodology
Respondents will submit information as attachments to relevant
license applications or requests for other approval. Applicants are
referred to ITAR Sec. 123.9 for guidance on what information to submit
regarding the request to change end-user, end-use and/or destination of
hardware. This information may be submitted electronically via a DS-
6004, Reexport/Retransfer Application, through DDTC's case management
system, the Defense Export Control and Compliance System (DECCS).
Separately, under the OGL program, as described in each OGL, and as
also described in ITAR Sec. 123.26, respondents will be required to
retain certain information in their own records for a period of five
years from the date of the reexport or retransfer.
