SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In 1984, the Congress enacted 

amendments to the Defense Production 

Act (DPA), including the addition of 

section 309, which addresses offsets in 

defense trade (See 50 U.S.C. app. 

§ 2099). 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 and the International Traffic in 

Arms Regulations. 

Section 309(a)(1) requires the 

President to submit an annual report to 

the Congress on the impact of offsets on 

the U.S. defense industrial base. In 

1992, section 309 was amended to direct 

the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) 

to function as the President’s executive 

agent for carrying out the 

responsibilities set forth in that section. 

Specifically, section 309 authorizes the 

Secretary 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 redelegated 

to the Under Secretary of the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS). The 

regulations associated with offsets 

reporting are set forth in Part 701 of title 

15 of the Code of Federal Regulations. 

The offsets regulations of Part 701 set 

forth the obligations of U.S. industry to 

report to BIS, no later than June 15 of 

each year, offsets agreement and 

transaction data for the previous 

calendar year. 

As described in section 701.1 of the 

regulations, U.S. firms are required to 

report on contracts for the sale of 

defense-related items or defense-related 

services to foreign countries or foreign 

firms that are subject to offsets 

agreements exceeding $5,000,000 in 

value. U.S. firms are also required to 

report annually on offsets transactions 

completed in performance of existing 

offsets commitments for which offsets 

credit of $250,000 or more has been 

claimed from the foreign representative. 

The required data elements and filing 

procedures for such reports are outlined 

in section 701.4 of title 15, Code of 

Federal Regulations. Please note that on 

December 23, 2009, BIS published a 

final rule to amend Part 701 (74 FR 

68136). Companies are required to 

incorporate the changes made to the 

required data elements by this final rule 

in their submissions to BIS this year. 

The Department’s annual report to 

Congress includes an aggregated 

summary of the data reported by 

industry in accordance with the offsets 

regulation and the DPA. As provided by 

section 309(c) of the DPA, BIS will not 

publicly disclose the information it 

receives through offsets reporting unless 

the firm furnishing the information 

specifically authorizes public 

disclosure. The information collected is 

sorted and organized into an aggregate 

report of national offsets data, and 

therefore does not identify companyspecific information. 

Required information must be 

submitted to BIS no later than June 15, 

2010. 

Dated: March 15, 2010.

Assistant Secretary for Export 

Administration.
