Respondents: Business and Nonprofit Organizations.Start Printed Page 59264
Total Estimated Burden Time: 100,000 hours.
Abstract of proposed collection: The export, temporary import, and brokering of defense articles, defense services, and related technical data are licensed by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) in accordance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR,” 22 CFR parts 120-130) and Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act.
ITAR § 126.18 eliminates, subject to certain conditions, the requirement for an approval by DDTC for the reexport of unclassified defense articles, which includes technical data, to individuals who are dual or third-country national employees of a foreign business entity, foreign governmental entity, or international organization that is an authorized end-user, foreign signatory, or consignee (including transfers to approved sub-licensees) for defense articles, including the transfer to dual nationals or third-country nationals who are bona fide regular employees of the foreign business entity, foreign governmental entity, or international organization.
To use ITAR § 126.18, effective procedures must be in place to prevent diversion to any destination, entity, or for purposes other than those authorized by the applicable export license or other authorization. Those conditions can be met under § 126.18(c)(1) by requiring a security clearance approved by the host nation government for its employees, or under § 126.18(c)(2) by the end-user or consignee having in place a process to screen its employees and to have executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement that provides assurances that the employee will not transfer any defense articles to persons or entities unless specifically authorized by the consignee or end-user. ITAR § 126.18(c)(2) also provides that the technology security/clearance plans and screening records shall be made available to DDTC or its agents for civil or criminal law enforcement purposes upon request.
Methodology: When information kept on file pursuant to this recordkeeping requirement is required to be sent to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, it may be sent electronically or by mail according to guidance given by DDTC.
