Abstract of proposed collection: The

data are licensed by the Directorate of 

Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) in 

accordance with the International 

Traffic in Arms Regulations (‘‘ITAR,’’ 22 

CFR 120–130) and Section 38 of the 

Arms Export Control Act (AECA). Those 

who manufacture or export defense 

articles, defense services, and related 

technical data, or the brokering thereof, 

must register with the Department of 

State. Persons desiring to engage in 

export, temporary import, and brokering 

activities must submit an application or 

written request to conduct the 

transaction to the Department to obtain 

a decision whether it is in the interests 

of U.S. foreign policy and national 

security to approve the transaction. 

Also, registered brokers must submit 

annual reports regarding all brokering 

activity that was transacted, and 

registered manufacturers and exporter 

must maintain records of defense trade 

activities for five years. ITAR § 127.12 

encourages the disclosure of 

information to DDTC by persons who 

believe they may have violated any 

provision of the AECA, ITAR, or any 

order, license, or other authorization 

issued under the AECA. The violation is 

analyzed by DDTC to determine 

whether to take administrative action 

under ITAR part 128 and whether to 

refer the matter to the Department of 

Justice for possible prosecution. 

Methodology: This information 

collection may be sent to the Directorate 

of Defense Trade Controls via the 

following methods: electronically or 

mail.
