Abstract of Proposed Collection
DDTC regulates the export and
temporary import of defense articles and
services enumerated on the USML in
accordance with the Arms Export
Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 2751 et
seq.) and the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR parts
120–130). In accordance with ITAR
§ 124.1, any person who intends to
furnish defense services or technical
data to a foreign person must submit a
proposed technical assistance,
manufacturing, or distribution license
agreement and obtain prior
authorization from DDTC for such
agreement. Amendments to existing
agreements must also be submitted for
approval. The electronic mechanism
utilized for submitting, reviewing, and
approving agreement proposals is the
Defense Export Control and Compliance
System, DECCS. Specifically, this
process utilizes the DSP–5 license
application as the primary instrument or
‘‘vehicle’’ for transmitting agreements
and their respective amendments from
one phase of the adjudication process to
the next.
The ITAR requires persons registered
with DDTC to maintain records
pertaining to defense trade-related
transactions. This information
collection approves the record-keeping
requirements imposed on registrants by
the ITAR. Respondents to this collection
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:37 Feb 27, 2023
Jkt 259001
may submit their records to DDTC as
supporting documentation for
disclosures of potential violations of the
AECA. The method by which
respondents submit these records is
approved under OMB control no. 1405–
0179. DDTC uses these records to
analyze industry compliance processes
and procedures, and to help assess
whether the activity in question might
merit administrative sanctions or
referral to the Department of Justice for
possible criminal prosecution.
In accordance with part 129 of the
ITAR, U.S. and foreign persons required
to register as a broker shall provide
annually a report to DDTC enumerating
and describing brokering activities by
quantity, type, U.S. dollar value,
purchaser/recipient, and license number
for approved activities and any
exemptions utilized for other covered
activities. This information is currently
used in the review of munitions export
and brokering license applications and
to ensure compliance with defense trade
statutes and regulations. As appropriate,
such information may be shared with
other U.S. Government entities.
In accordance with part 129 of the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR), U.S. and foreign
persons who wish to engage in ITARcontrolled brokering activity of defense
articles and defense services must first
register with DDTC. Brokers must then
submit a written request for approval to
DDTC and must receive DDTC’s consent
prior to engaging in such activities
unless exempted. This information is
currently used in the review of the
brokering request submitted for
approval and to ensure compliance with
defense trade statutes and regulations. It
is also used to monitor and control the
transfer of sensitive U.S. technology.
Methodology
Respondents will submit information
as attachments to relevant license
applications or requests for other
approval.
Respondents may maintain records in
any format consistent with the
provisions in ITAR § 122.5.
Brokering Reports are submitted
annually with Statement of Registration
renewals. Applicants are referred to
ITAR part 129 for guidance on
information to submit regarding
proposed brokering activity. Applicants
may submit a Brokering Prior Approval
Request electronically via DDTC’s
