U.S. Persons Employed by Foreign 

Persons. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Changes in This Rule Related to 

Registration and Licensing of U.S. 

Persons Employed by Foreign Persons 

DDTC seeks to clarify the registration 

and licensing requirements for U.S. 

persons located in the United States or 

abroad who are engaged in the business 

of furnishing defense services to their 

foreign person employers. Similarly, 

DDTC seeks to clarify when these same 

persons may be covered under existing 

DDTC authorizations previously issued 

to their employers and affiliates, and 

when they are instead obligated to apply 

for their own license or agreement prior 

to engaging in the provisions of defense 

services. 

The Department proposes to modify 

22 CFR 120.40 Affiliate, add a definition 

for ‘‘natural persons’’ in 22 CFR 120.43, 

effect changes to 22 CFR 122.1 

Registration Requirements and 22 CFR 

122.4 Notification of Changes in 

Information Furnished by Registrants, 

and add an exemption for natural U.S. 

persons employed by foreign persons in 

22 CFR 124.17, to better account for 

these persons and their services to their 

foreign person employers. 

Scenarios impacted by these changes 

include but are not limited to the 

following: 

(1) U.S. persons employed as regular 

employees of a U.S. company but 

working at a foreign branch of that 

company; (2) U.S. persons employed as 

regular employees of a U.S. company’s 

foreign subsidiary or affiliate where the 

U.S. company is actively participating 

in the provision of services to the 

foreign subsidiary or affiliate; (3) U.S. 

persons employed as regular employees 

of a U.S. company’s foreign subsidiary 

or affiliate where the U.S. company is 

not actively participating in the 

provision of services to the foreign 

subsidiary or affiliate; (4) U.S. persons 

employed outside the United States as 

independent contractors who do not 

meet the definition of a regular 

employee; and (5) U.S. persons 

employed as regular employees of a 

foreign company with no U.S. 

affiliation. 

The following are the proposed 

changes: 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
30002 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 26, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

(1) The note to 22 CFR 120.40 is 

redesignated as note 1; 

(2) A second note is added to 22 CFR 

120.40 to clarify that under specified 

circumstances, minority owners of a 

firm may list that company on their 

registration; 

(3) 22 CFR 120.43 is added to provide 

a definition of ‘‘natural person’’; 

(4) 22 CFR 122.1 is revised to clarify 

the existing requirement that U.S. 

persons performing defense services 

abroad are required to be registered 

pursuant to 22 CFR 122.2; 

(5) A note is added to 22 CFR 122.1 

to clarify that natural persons employed 

by affiliates or subsidiaries of and listed 

on a U.S. person’s registration are 

deemed to be registered as well; 

(6) A minor revision is made to 22 

CFR 122.2 to clarify that subsidiaries 

and affiliates controlled by a registrant 

pursuant to 22 CFR 120.40 may be 

included on the registrant’s Statement of 

Registration; 

(7) 22 CFR 124.1(a) is revised to 

clarify that defense services performed 

by natural U.S. persons may be 

authorized via a DSP–5; 

(8) 22 CFR 124.1(b) is revised to 

clarify that applicants will forward 

copies of approved agreements 

involving classified defense articles to 

the Department of Defense; 

(9) An exemption for natural U.S. 

persons employed by foreign persons 

located in NATO countries and other 

specified nations is added in 22 CFR 

124.17; and 

(10) An exemption for natural U.S. 

persons employed by foreign persons 

engaged in FMS-related activities is 

added in 22 CFR 126.6(c)(7). 

Regarding the addition of 22 CFR 

124.17, the Department reiterates that 

the use of exemptions to authorize 

exports and/or temporary imports of 

defense articles and defense services to 

countries listed in 22 CFR 126.1 is not 

allowed, as noted in paragraph (a) of the 

latter section. 

Other Changes in This Rule 

The following are the proposed 

changes: 

(1) 22 CFR 120.39 is revised to clarify 

that the phrase ‘‘long term’’ denotes a 

period of at least 1 year; 

(2) 22 CFR 125.4(b)(2) and (b)(12) are 

removed to reserve status due to their 

redundancy with the exemptions in 22 

CFR 124.3 and 22 CFR part 126; 

(3) 22 CFR 126.6(c) is amended to 

clarify that the exemption extends to 

classified as well as unclassified Foreign 

Military Sales (FMS) defense articles 

permanently or temporarily imported or 

exported, provided their transfer is 

made pursuant to a Letter of Offer and 

Acceptance; and 

(4) Administrative corrections are 

made to 22 CFR 126.6(c). 

Request for Comments 

The Department welcomes public 

comment on any of the proposed 

changes set forth in this rule. In 

particular, we invite comments from 

foreign persons who currently employ 

or are contemplating engaging U.S. 

persons as regular employees or 

independent contractors, as well as from 

current or future employees and 

contractors themselves. 

In the context of Export Control 

Reform, as well as to accommodate the 

changes proposed in this rule, DDTC is 

considering modifying its registration 

fee structure. Of the many options being 

explored, one alternative involves 

providing a reduced base fee for 

individuals or natural U.S. persons, as 

defined in the proposed 22 CFR 120.43. 

The Department encourages the public 

to consider these proposed changes 

when reviewing this rule. 

Regulatory Analysis and Notices 

Administrative Procedure Act 

Controlling the import and export of 

defense articles and services is a foreign 

affairs function of the United States 

government and rules implementing 

this function are exempt from sections 

553 (rulemaking) and 554 

(adjudications) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA). Although this rule 

is exempt from the rulemaking 

provisions of the APA, the Department 

is publishing this rule with a 60-day 

provision for public comment and 

without prejudice to its determination 

that controlling the import and export of 

defense services is a foreign affairs 

function. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Since this rule is exempt from the 

rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553, 

it does not require analysis under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

These proposed amendments do not 

involve a mandate that will result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

in any year and they will not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. Therefore, no actions were 

deemed necessary under the provisions 

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 

These proposed amendments have 

been found not to be a major rule within 

the meaning of the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 

1996. 

Executive Orders 12372 and 13132 

These proposed amendments will not 

have substantial direct effects on the 

States, on the relationship between the 

national government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Therefore, in 

accordance with Executive Order 13132, 

it is determined that these proposed 

amendments do not have sufficient 

federalism implications to require 

consultations or warrant the preparation 

of a federalism summary impact 

statement. The regulations 

implementing Executive Order 12372 

regarding intergovernmental 

consultation on Federal programs and 

activities do not apply to these proposed 

amendments. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributed impacts, and equity). 

Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. This rule has not been 

designated a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action,’’ under section 3(f) of Executive 

Order 12866. Accordingly, the rule has 

not been reviewed by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). 

Executive Order 12988 

The Department of State has reviewed 

the proposed amendments in light of 

sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 

Order 12988 to eliminate ambiguity, 

minimize litigation, establish clear legal 

standards, and reduce burden. 

Executive Order 13175 

The Department of State has 

determined that this rulemaking will 

not have tribal implications, will not 

impose substantial direct compliance 

costs on Indian tribal governments, and 

will not preempt tribal law. 

Accordingly, Executive Order 13175 

does not apply to this rulemaking.
