DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 3854]

Bureau of Political-Military Affairs;

Export of Non-lethal Defense Articles

to Indonesia

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

requests for export and retransfer of

non-lethal defense articles and spare

parts to Indonesia pursuant to section

38 of the Arms Export Control Act will

be considered on a case-by-case basis.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 19, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Peter J. Berry, Chief, Arms Licensing

Division, Office of Defense Trade

Controls, Bureau of Political-Military

Affairs, Department of State (202) 663–

2700.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

October 14, 1999, a Federal Register

notice was published (64 FR 55805) that

suspended all licenses and approvals to

export or otherwise transfer defense

articles and defense services to

Indonesia, except for certain exports

related to commercial communication

satellites and Y2K compliance activities

that were not for the Indonesian

military. The October 14, 1999 Federal

Register notice set forth a policy of

denial for new export requests except

those that met the exception.

A Federal Register notice was

published on January 25, 2001 (66 FR

7836) that permitted review, on a caseby-case basis, of requests for the export

of C–130 spare parts to Indonesia,

including for the Government of

Indonesia. On March 22, 2001, a

Federal Register notice was published

(66 FR 16085) that expanded the review,

on a case-by-case basis, of defense

articles/defense services exported to

Indonesia for ultimate end-use by a

third-country.

This Notice expands categories of

defense articles/defense services eligible

for consideration for export/transfer to

Indonesia, on a case-by-case basis, to

include: (a) Non-lethal defense articles

and spare parts; and (b) non-lethal,

safety-of-use spare parts for lethal enditems. An example of safety-of-use items

would be cartridge actuated devices,

propellant actuated devices and

technical manuals for military aircraft

for purposes of enhancing the safety of

the aircraft crew. For non-lethal defense

end-items, no distinction will be made

between Indonesia’s existing and new

inventory.

For the purposes of this policy,

‘‘nonlethal defense articles’’ means an

article that is not a weapon,

ammunition, or other equipment or

material that is designed to inflict

serious bodily harm or death (see, e.g.

10 U.S.C. 2557).

Dated: November 30, 2001.

Lincoln P. Bloomfield, Jr.,

Assistant Secretary, Bureau of PoliticalMilitary Affairs, Department of State.
