The Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG) will meet in open session January 16, 2014, to discuss current defense trade issues and topics for further study. Specific agenda topics include: (1) Identify potential negative impacts and unintended consequences of the Export Control Reform Initiatives on industry and provide recommendation on how to overcome/minimize such impacts; (2) Review the impacts on industry for use of the exemptions authorized to support the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaties between the United States and the United Kingdom and Australia respectively; (3) Provide a proposal for an effective export control system for non-lethal, non-Category I UAVs that would facilitate their use in non-military roles; and (4) Review how various USG agencies define controlled unclassified information (CUI), including export controlled technical data, and critical program information (CPI); review the statutory, regulatory and other bases (e.g., policy or directive) for agency control; and assess how USG agencies impose potentially competing requirements on industry for protecting CUI and CPI. The membership of this advisory committee consists of private sector defense trade representatives, appointed by the Assistant Secretary of State for Political Military Affairs, and advises the Department on policies, regulations, and technical issues affecting defense trade. Members of the public may attend this open session and will be permitted to participate in the discussion in accordance with the DTAG Chair's instructions.
