[Public Notice 1832]
Amendments to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations
Part II
58 FR 39280
DATE: Thursday, July 22, 1993
ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This rule amends the regulations implementing
section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act, which governs the import and export
of defense articles and services. The rule clarifies existing regulations and
reduces the regulatory burden on exporters of defense articles and services.
Although this is a final rule public comment is welcome and will be taken into
account to the extent possible.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective July 22, 1993.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information regarding this notice may be
obtained from James Andrew Lewis, U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Politico-
Military Affairs (202-647-4231), Mal Zerden or Allan Suchinsky, U.S. Department
of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls (703-875-6644).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The regulations implementing section 38 of the
Arms Export Control Act were last revised substantially in November 1984. A
proposed rule was published on May 7, 1992 (57 FR 19666), for public comment.
This Final Rule clarifies and simplifies the current regulations. Certain
sections are consolidated while others are revised in the interests of clarity
and consistency. To the extent possible, related sections are cross-referenced.
In amending the regulations, public comments and suggestions from industry and
other U.S. agencies have been considered and in many cases incorporated into the
regulations.
The most significant changes are an increase in the validity period of a
license from three to four years and a revision of the policy used by the
Department for designating defense articles that takes into account civil
application and functional equivalence. Several new exemptions from licensing
requirements are also established. These exemptions will cover exports under
approved manufacturing or technical assistance agreements; spare parts valued at
$ 500 or less; intra-company transfers of components being sent abroad for
assembly; temporary imports for repair and servicing; and items which were
previously licensed for temporary export to trade shows.
Other changes include a clarification of the commodity jurisdiction process,
which establishes a review period and specifies the appeal process. The
definition of public domain is expanded and clarified. An exception allows for
the re-export of certain U.S.-origin components to the Governments of NATO
countries, and the Governments of Japan and Australia without prior U.S.
approval for components which are not significant military equipment or
controlled for purposes of the Missile Technology Control Regime and do not
require Congressional notification.
Specific Changes
The Office of Munitions Control was renamed the Office of Defense Trade
Controls on January 8, 1990. All references to the Office of Munitions Control
are now referred to as the Office of Defense Trade Controls. For clarification,
all references to the Assistant Secretary for Politico-Military Affairs are
replaced by Assistant Secretary of State for Politico-Military Affairs. Due to a
change in office designation, all references to the Under Secretary of State for
Security Assistance, Science and Technology are replaced by Under Secretary of
State for International Security Affairs.

burden on exporters in that respect. The relevant information collection is to
be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget under control no. 1405-0013.

 120.1 -- General authorities and eligibility.
(a) Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778) authorizes the
President to control the export and import of defense articles and defense
services. The statutory authority of the President to promulgate regulations
with respect to exports of defense articles and defense services was delegated
to the Secretary of State by Executive Order 11958, as amended (42 FR 4311).
This subchapter implements that authority. By virtue of delegations of authority
by the Secretary of State, these regulations are primarily administered by the
Director of the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Bureau of Politico-Military
Affairs, Department of State.
(b) Authorized Officials. All authorities conferred upon the Director of the
Office of Defense Trade Controls by this subchapter may be exercised at any time
by the Under Secretary of State for International Security Affairs, the
Assistant Secretary of State for Politico-Military Affairs, or the Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State for Politico-Military Affairs responsible for
supervising the Office of Defense Trade Controls unless the Legal Adviser or the
Assistant Legal Adviser for Politico-Military Affairs of the Department of State
determines that any specific exercise of this authority under this subsection
may be inappropriate.
(c) Eligibility. Only U.S. persons (as defined in  120.15) and foreign
governmental entities in the United States may be granted licenses or other
approvals (other than retransfer approvals sought pursuant to this subchapter).
Foreign persons (as defined in  120.16) other than governments are not
eligible. U.S. persons who have been convicted of violating the criminal
statutes enumerated in  120.27, who have been debarred pursuant to part 127 or
128 of this subchapter, who are the subject of an indictment involving the
criminal statutes enumerated in  120.27, who are ineligible to contract with,
or to receive a license or other form of authorization to import defense
articles or defense services from any agency of the U.S. Government, who are
ineligible to receive export licenses (or other forms of authorization to
export) from any agency of the U.S. Government, who are subject to Department of
State Suspension/Revocation under  126.7 (a)(1)-(a)(7) of this subchapter, or
who are ineligible under  127.6(c) of this subchapter are generally ineligible.
Applications for licenses or other approvals will be considered only if the
applicant has registered with the Office of Defense Trade Controls pursuant to
part 122 of this subchapter. All applications and requests for approval must be
signed by a U.S. person who has been empowered by the registrant to sign such
documents.
(d) The exemptions provided in this subchapter do not apply to transactions
in which the exporter or any party to the export (as defined in  126.7(e) of
this subchapter) is generally ineligible as set forth above in paragraph (c) of
this section, unless an exception has been granted pursuant to  126.7(c) of
this subchapter.
 120.2 -- Designation of defense articles and defense services.
The Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778(a) and 2794(7)) provides that the
President shall designate the articles and services deemed to be defense
articles and defense services for purposes of this subchapter. The items so
designated constitute the United States Munitions List and are specified in part
121 of this subchapter. Such designations are made by the Department of State
with the concurrence of the Department of Defense. For a determination on
whether a particular item is included on the U.S. Munitions List see  120.4(a).
 120.3 -- Policy on designating and determining defense articles and
services.
An article or service may be designated or determined in the future to be a
defense article (see  120.6) or defense service (see  120.9) if it:
(a) Is specifically designed, developed, configured, adapted, or modified for
a military application, and
(i) Does not have predominant civil applications, and
(ii) Does not have performance equivalent (defined by form, fit and function)
to those of an article or service used for civil applications; or a military
application, and has significant military or intelligence applicability such
that control under this subchapter is necessary.
The intended use of the article or service after its export (i.e., for a
military or civilian purpose) is not relevant in determining whether the article
or service is subject to the controls of this subchapter. Any item covered by
the U.S. Munitions List must [*39284] be within the categories of the U.S.
Munitions List. The scope of the U.S. Munitions List shall be changed only by
amendments made pursuant to section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2778).
 120.4 -- Commodity jurisdiction.
(a) The commodity jurisdiction procedure is used with the U.S. Government if
doubt exists as to whether an article or service is covered by the U.S.
Munitions List. It may also be used for consideration of a redesignation of an
article or service currently covered by the U.S. Munitions List. The Department
must submit a report to Congress at least 30 days before any item is removed
from the U.S. Munitions List. Upon written request, the Office of Defense Trade
Controls shall provide a determination of whether a particular article or
service is covered by the U.S. Munitions List. The determination, consistent
with  120.2, 120.3, and 120.4, entails consultation among the Departments of
State, Defense, Commerce and other U.S. Government agencies and industry in
appropriate cases.
(b) Registration with the Office of Defense Trade Controls as defined in part
122 of this subchapter is not required prior to submission of a commodity
jurisdiction request. If it is determined that the commodity is a defense
article or service covered by the U.S. Munitions List, registration is required
for exporters, manufacturers, and furnishers of defense articles and defense
services (see part 122 of this subchapter).
(c) Requests shall identify the article or service, and include a history of
the product's design, development and use. Brochures, specifications and any
other documentation related to the article or service shall be submitted in
seven collated sets.
(d)(1) A determination that an article or service does not have predominant
civil applications shall be made by the Department of State, in accordance with
this subchapter, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account:
(i) The number, variety and predominance of civil applications;
(ii) The nature, function and capability of the civil applications; and
(iii) The nature, function and capability of the military applications.
(2) A determination that an article does not have the performance equivalent,
defined by form, fit and function, to those used for civil applications shall be
made by the Department of State, in accordance with this subchapter, on a case-
by-case basis, taking into account:
(i) The nature, function, and capability of the article;
(ii) Whether the components used in the defense article are identical to
those components originally developed for civil use.
Note: The form of the item is its defined configuration, including the
geometrically measured configuration, density, and weight or other visual
parameters which uniquely characterize the item, component or assembly. For
software, form denotes language, language level and media. The fit of the item
is its ability to physically interface or interconnect with or become an
integral part of another item. The function of the item is the action or actions
it is designed to perform.
(3) A determination that an article has significant military or intelligence
applications such that it is necessary to control its export as a defense
article shall be made, in accordance with this subchapter, on a case-by-case
basis, taking into account: (i) The nature, function, and capability of the
article;
(ii) The nature of controls imposed by other nations on such items (including
COCOM and other multilateral controls), and
(iii) That items described on the COCOM Industrial List shall not be
designated defense articles or defense services unless the failure to control
such items on the U.S. Munitions List would jeopardize significant national
security or foreign policy interests.
(e) The Office of Defense Trade Controls will provide a preliminary response
within 10 working days of receipt of a complete request for commodity
jurisdiction. If after 45 days the Office of Defense Trade Controls has not
provided a final commodity jurisdiction determination, the applicant may request
in writing to the Director, Center for Defense Trade that this determination be
given expedited processing.
(f) State, Defense and Commerce will resolve commodity jurisdiction disputes
in accordance with established procedures. State shall notify Defense and
Commerce of the initiation and conclusion of each case.
(g) A person may appeal a commodity jurisdiction determination by submitting
a written request for reconsideration to the Director of the Center for Defense
Trade. The Center for Defense Trade will provide a written response of the
Director's determination within 30 days of receipt of the appeal. If desired, an
appeal of the Director's decision can then be made directly to the Assistant
Secretary for Politico-Military Affairs.
 120.5 -- Relation to regulations of other agencies.
If an article or service is covered by the U.S. Munitions List, its export is
regulated by the Department of State, except as indicated otherwise in this
subchapter. For the relationship of this subchapter to regulations of the
Department of Commerce, the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, see  123.20 of this subchapter. The Treasury Department controls
permanent imports of articles and services covered by the U.S. Munitions Import
List from foreign countries by persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction (31 CFR part
505). The Department of Commerce regulates the export of items on the Commerce
Control List (CCL) under the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts
768-799).
 120.6 -- Defense article.
Defense article means any item or technical data designated in  121.1 of
this subchapter. The policy described in  120.3 is applicable to designations
of additional items. This term includes technical data recorded or stored in any
physical form, models, mockups or other items that reveal technical data
directly relating to items designated in  121.1 of this subchapter. It does not
include basic marketing information on function or purpose or general system
descriptions.
 120.7 -- Significant military equipment.
(a) Significant military equipment means articles for which special export
controls are warranted because of their capacity for substantial military
utility or capability. Section 47(6) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2794(6) note) refers to significant combat equipment on the U.S. Munitions List.
The terms significant military equipment and significant combat equipment are
equivalent for purposes of that section of the Arms Export Control Act and this
subchapter.
(b) Significant military equipment includes:
(1) Items in  121.1 of this subchapter which are preceded by an asterisk;
and
(2) All classified articles enumerated in  121.1 of this subchapter.

research and development cost of more than $ 50,000,000 or a total [*39285]
production cost of more than $ 200,000,000.
 120.9 -- Defense service.
Defense service means:
(1) The furnishing of assistance (including training) to foreign persons,
whether in the United States or abroad in the design, development, engineering,
manufacture, production, assembly, testing, repair, maintenance, modification,
operation, demilitarization, destruction, processing or use of defense articles;

PART 122-REGISTRATION OF MANUFACTURERS AND EXPORTERS
Sec.
122.1 Registration requirements.
122.2 Submission of registration statement.
122.3 Registration fees.
122.4 Notification of changes in information furnished by registrants.
122.5 Maintenance of records by registrants.
Authority: Secs. 2 and 38, Pub. L. 90-629, 90 Stat. 744 (22 U.S.C. 2752,
2778); E.O. 11958, 42 FR 4311, 1977 Comp. p. 79; 22 U.S.C. 2658.
 122.1 -- Registration requirements.
(a) Any person who engages in the United States in the business of either
manufacturing or exporting defense articles or furnishing defense services is
required to register with the Office of Defense Trade Controls. Manufacturers
who do not engage in exporting must nevertheless register.
(b) Exemptions. Registration is not required for:
(1) Officers and employees of the United States Government acting in an
official capacity.
(2) Persons whose pertinent business activity is confined to the production
of unclassified technical data only.
(3) Persons all of whose manufacturing and export activities are licensed
under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
(4) Persons who engage only in the fabrication of articles for experimental
or scientific purpose, including research and development.
(c) Purpose. Registration is primarily a means to provide the U.S. Government
with necessary information on who is involved in certain manufacturing and
exporting activities. Registration does not confer any export rights or
privileges. It is generally a precondition to the issuance of any license or
other approval under this subchapter.
 122.2 -- Submission of registration statement.
(a) General. The Department of State Form DSP-9 (Registration Statement) and
the transmittal letter required by paragraph (b) of this section must be
submitted by an intended registrant with a payment by check or money order
payable to the Department of State of one of the fees prescribed in  122.3(a)
of this subchapter. The Registration Statement and transmittal letter must be
signed by a senior officer who has been empowered by the intended registrant to
sign such documents. The intended registrant shall also submit documentation
that demonstrates that it is incorporated or otherwise authorized to do business
in the United States. The Office of Defense Trade Controls will return to the
sender any Registration Statement that is incomplete, or that is not accompanied
by the required letter or payment of the proper registration fee.
(b) Transmittal letter. A letter of transmittal, signed by an authorized
senior officer of the intended registrant, shall accompany each Registration
Statement.
(1) The letter shall state whether the intended registrant, chief executive
officer, president, vice-presidents, other senior officers or officials (e.g.
comptroller, treasurer, general counsel) or any member of the board of
directors:
(i) Has ever been indicted for or convicted of violating any of the U.S.
criminal statutes enumerated in  120.27 of this subchapter; or
(ii) Is ineligible to contract with, or to receive a license or other
approval to import defense articles or defense services from, or to receive an
export license or other approval from, any agency of the U.S. Government.
(2) The letter shall also declare whether the intended registrant is owned or
controlled by foreign persons (as defined in  120.16 of this subchapter). If
the intended registrant is owned or controlled by foreign persons, the letter
shall also state whether the intended registrant is incorporated or otherwise
authorized to engage in business in the United States.
(c) Definition. For purposes of this section, ownership means that more than
50 percent of the outstanding voting securities of the firm are owned by one or
more foreign persons. Control means that one or more foreign persons have the
authority or ability to establish or direct the general policies or day-to-day
operations of the firm. Control is presumed to exist where foreign persons own
25 percent or more of the outstanding voting securities if no U.S. persons
control an equal or larger percentage. The standards for control specified in 22
CFR 60.2(c) also provide guidance in determining whether control in fact exists.
 122.3 -- Registration fees.
(a) A person who is required to register may do so for a period up to 5 years
upon submission of a completed form DSP-9, transmittal letter, and payment of a
fee as follows:
1 year -- $ 250
2 years -- 500
3 years -- 700
4 years -- 850
5 years -- 1,000
(b) Lapse in registration. A registrant who fails to renew a registration
and, after an intervening period, seeks to register again must pay registration
fees for any part of such intervening period during which the registrant engaged
in the business of manufacturing or exporting defense articles or defense
services.
(c) Refund of fee. Fees paid in advance for future years of a multiple year
registration will be refunded upon request if the registrant ceases to engage in
the manufacture or export of defense articles and defense services. A request
for a refund must be submitted to the Office of Defense Trade Controls prior to
the beginning of any year for which a refund is claimed.
 122.4 -- Notification of changes in information furnished by registrants.
(a) A registrant must, within five days of the event, notify the Office of
Defense Trade Controls by registered mail if:
(1) Any of the persons referred to in  122.2(b) are indicted for or
convicted of violating any of the U.S. criminal statutes enumerated in  120.27
of this subchapter, or become ineligible to contract with, or to receive a
license or other approval to export or temporarily import defense articles or
defense services from any agency of the U.S. government; or
(2) There is a material change in the information contained in the [*39299]
Registration Statement, including a change in the senior officers; the
establishment, acquisition or divestment of a subsidiary or foreign affiliate; a
merger; a change of location; or the dealing in an additional category of
defense articles or defense services.
(b) A registrant must notify the Office of Defense Trade Controls by
registered mail at least 60 days in advance of any intended sale or transfer to
a foreign person of ownership or control of the registrant or any entity
thereof. Such notice does not relieve the registrant from obtaining the approval
required under this subchapter for the export of defense articles or defense
services to a foreign person, including the approval required prior to
disclosing technical data. Such notice provides the Office of Defense Trade
Controls with the information necessary to determine whether the authority of
section 38(g)(6) of the Arms Export Control Act regarding licenses or other
approvals for certain sales or transfers of articles or data should be invoked
(see  120.10 and 126.1(e) of this subchapter).
(c) The new entity formed when a registrant merges with another company or
acquires, or is acquired by, another company or a subsidiary or division of
another company shall advise the Office of Defense Trade Controls of the
following:
(1) The new firm name and all previous firm names being disclosed;
(2) The registration number that will survive and those that are to be
discontinued (if any);
(3) The license numbers of all approvals on which unshipped balances will be
shipped under the surviving registration number, since any license not the
subject of notification will be considered invalid; and
(4) Amendments to agreements approved by the Office of Defense Trade Controls
to change the name of a party to those agreements. The registrant must, within
60 days of this notification, provide to the Office of Defense Trade Controls a
signed copy of an amendment to each agreement signed by the new U.S. entity, the
former U.S. licensor and the foreign licensee. Any agreements not so amended
will be considered invalid.
(d) Prior approval by the Office of Defense Trade Controls is required for
any amendment making a substantive change.
 122.5 -- Maintenance of records by registrants.
(a) A person who is required to register must maintain records concerning the
manufacture, acquisition and disposition of defense articles; the provision of
defense services; and information on political contributions, fees, or
commissions furnished or obtained, as required by part 130 of this subchapter.
All such records must be maintained for a period of five years from the
expiration of the license or other approval. The Director, Office of Defense
Trade Controls, may prescribe a longer or shorter period in individual cases.
(b) Records maintained under this section shall be available at all times for
inspection and copying by the Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls or a
person designated by the Director (the Director of the Diplomatic Security
Service or a person designated by the Director of the Diplomatic Security
Service or another designee), or the Commissioner of the U.S. Customs Service or
a person designated by the Commissioner.

61 (unclassified); and
(4) Applications for the export or temporary import of classified defense
articles or classified technical data must be made on Form DSP-85.
(b) Applications for Department of State export licenses must be confined to
proposed exports of defense articles including technical data.
(c) As a condition to the issuance of a license or other approval, the Office
of Defense Trade Controls may require all pertinent documentary information
regarding the proposed transaction and proper completion of the application form
as follows:
(1) Form DSP-5, DSP-61, DSP-73, and DSP-85 applications must have an entry in
each block where space is provided for an entry. All requested information must
be provided.
(2) Attachments and supporting technical data or brochures should be
submitted in seven collated copies. Two copies of any freight forwarder lists
must be submitted. If the request is limited to renewal of a previous license or
for the export of spare parts, only two sets of any attachment (including
freight forwarder lists) and one copy of the previous license should be
submitted.
(3) A certification letter signed by an empowered official must accompany all
application submissions (see  126.13 of this subchapter).
(4) An application for a license under this part for the permanent export of
defense articles sold commercially must be accompanied by a copy of a purchase
order, letter of intent or other appropriate documentation. In cases involving
the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program, three copies of the relevant Department
of Defense Form [*39300] 1513 are required, unless the procedures of 
126.4(c) or  126.6 of this subchapter are followed.
(5) Form DSP-83, duly executed, must accompany all license applications for
the permanent export of significant military equipment, including classified
hardware or classified technical data (see  123.10 and 125.3 of this
subchapter).
(6) A statement concerning the payment of political contributions, fees and
commissions must accompany a permanent export application if the export involves
defense articles or defense services valued in an amount of $ 500,000 or more
and is being sold commercially to or for the use of the armed forces of a
foreign country or international organization (see part 130 of this subchapter).
(d) Provisions for furnishing the type of defense services described in 
120.9(a) of this subchapter are contained in part 124 of this subchapter.
Provisions for the export or temporary import of technical data and classified
defense articles are contained in part 125 of this subchapter.
(e) A request for a license for the export of unclassified technical data
(DSP-5) related to a classified defense article should specify any classified
technical data or material that subsequently will be required for export in the
event of a sale.
 123.2 -- Import jurisdiction.
The Department of State regulates the temporary import of defense articles.
Permanent imports of defense articles into the United States are regulated by
the Department of the Treasury (see 27 CFR parts 47, 178 and 179).
 123.3 -- Temporary import licenses.
(a) A license (DSP-61) issued by the Office of Defense Trade Controls is
required for the temporary import and subsequent export of unclassified defense
articles, unless exempted from this requirement pursuant to  123.4. This
requirement applies to:
(1) Temporary imports of unclassified defense articles that are to be
returned directly to the country from which they were shipped to the United
States;
(2) Temporary imports of unclassified defense articles in transit to a third
country;
(b) A bond may be required as appropriate (see part 125 of this subchapter
for license requirements for technical data and classified defense articles.)
 123.4 -- Temporary import license exemptions.
(a) District Directors of Customs shall permit the temporary import (and
subsequent export) without a license, for a period of up to 4 years, of
unclassified U.S.-origin defense articles (including any article manufactured
abroad pursuant to U.S. Government approval) if the article temporarily
imported:
(1) Is serviced (e.g., inspection, testing, calibration or repair, including
overhaul, reconditioning and one-to-one replacement of any defective articles,
parts or components, but excluding any modification, enhancement, upgrade or
other form of alteration or improvement that changes the basic performance of
the article), and is subsequently returned to the country from which it was
imported. Shipment may be made by the U.S. importer or a foreign government
representative of the country from which the goods were imported; or
(2) Is to be enhanced, upgraded or incorporated into another article which
has already been authorized by the Office of Defense Trade Controls for
permanent export; or
(3) Is imported for the purpose of exhibition, demonstration or marketing in
the United States and is subsequently returned to the country from which it was
imported; or
(4) Has been rejected for permanent import by the Department of the Treasury
and is being returned to the country from which it was shipped; or
(5) Is approved for such import under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS)
program pursuant to an executed U.S. Department of Defense Letter of Offer and
Acceptance (DD Form 1513).
Note: These Exceptions do not apply to shipments that transit the U.S. to or
from Canada (see  123.19 and  126.5 of this subchapter for exceptions).
(b) District Directors of Customs shall permit the temporary import (but not
the subsequent export) without a license of unclassified defense articles that
are to be incorporated into another article, or modified, enhanced, upgraded,
altered, improved or serviced in any other manner that changes the basic
performance or productivity of the article prior to being returned to the
country from which they were shipped or prior to being shipped to a third
country. A DSP-5 is required for the reexport of such unclassified defense
articles after incorporation into another article, modification, enhancement,
upgrading, alteration or improvement.
(c) Requirements. To use an exemption under  123.4 (a) or (b), the following
criteria must be met:
(1) The importer must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in 
120.1(b) of this subchapter;
(2) At the time of export, the ultimate consignee named on the Shipper's
Export Declaration (SED) must be the same as the foreign consignee or end-user
of record named at the time of import; and
(3) As stated in  126.1 of this subchapter, the temporary import must not be
from or on behalf of a proscribed country listed in that section unless an
exception has been granted in accordance with  126.3 of this subchapter.
(d) Procedures. To the satisfaction of the District Director of Customs, the
importer and exporter must comply with the following procedures:
(1) At the time of temporary import-
(i) File and annotate the applicable U.S. Customs document (e.g., Form CF
3461, 7512, 7501, 7523 or 3311) to read: "This shipment is being imported in
accordance with and under the authority of 22 CFR 123.4(a) (identify
subsection)," and
(ii) Include, on the invoice or other appropriate documentation, a complete
list and description of the defense article(s) being imported, including
quantity and U.S. dollar value; and
(2) At the time of export, file with the District Director of Customs at the
port of exit a Shipper's Export Declaration (Department of Commerce Form 7525-V)
and include on the SED or as an attachment the following information:
(i) the U.S. Customs entry document number or a copy of the U.S. Customs
documentation under which the article was imported;
(ii) the following statement: "22 CFR (identify section) and 22 CFR 120.1(b)
applicable."
 123.5 -- Temporary export licenses.
(a) The Office of Defense Trade Controls may issue a license for the
temporary export of unclassified defense articles (DSP-73). Such licenses are
valid only if (1) the article will be exported for a period of less than 4 years
and will be returned to the United States and (2) transfer of title will not
occur during the period of temporary export. Accordingly, articles exported
pursuant to a temporary export license may not be sold or otherwise permanently
transferred to a foreign person while they are overseas under a temporary export
license. A renewal of the license or other written approval must be obtained
from the Office of Defense Trade Controls if the article is to remain outside
the United States beyond the period for which the license is valid.
(b) Requirements. Defense articles authorized for temporary export under this
section may be shipped only from [*39301] a port in the United States where
a District Director of Customs is available, or from a U.S. Post Office (see 39
CFR part 20), as appropriate. The license for temporary export must be presented
to the District Director of Customs who, upon verification, will endorse the
exit column on the reverse side of the license. In some instances of the
temporary export of technical data (e.g postal shipments), self-endorsement will
be necessary (see  123.22(d)). The endorsed license for temporary export is to
be retained by the licensee. In the case of a military aircraft or vessel
exported under its own power, the endorsed license must be carried on board such
vessel or aircraft as evidence that it has been duly authorized by the
Department of State to leave the United States temporarily.
(c) Upon the return to the United States of defense articles covered by a
license for temporary export, the license will be endorsed in the entry column
by the District Director of Customs. This procedure shall be followed for all
exits and entries made during the period for which the license is valid. The
licensee must send the license to the Office of Defense Trade Controls
immediately upon expiration or after the final return of the defense articles
approved for export, whichever occurs first.
 123.6 -- Foreign trade zones and U.S. Customs bonded warehouses.
Foreign trade zones and U.S. Customs bonded warehouses are considered
integral parts of the United States for the purpose of this subchapter. An
export license is therefore not required for shipment between the United States
and a foreign trade zone or a Customs bonded warehouse. In the case of
classified defense articles, the provisions of the Department of Defense
Industrial Security Manual will apply. An export license is required for all
shipments of articles on the U.S. Munitions List from foreign trade zones and
U.S. Customs bonded warehouses to foreign countries, regardless of how the
articles reached the zone or warehouse.
 123.7 -- Exports to warehouses or distribution points outside the United
States.
Unless the exemption under  123.16(b)(1) is used, a license is required to
export defense articles to a warehouse or distribution point outside the United
States for subsequent resale and will normally be granted only if an agreement
has been approved pursuant to  124.14 of this subchapter.
 123.8 -- Special controls on vessels, aircraft and satellites covered by the
U.S. Munitions List.
(a) Transferring registration or control to a foreign person of any aircraft,
vessel, or satellite on the U.S. Munitions List is an export for purposes of
this subchapter and requires a license or written approval from the Office of
Defense Trade Controls. This requirement applies whether the aircraft, vessel,
or satellite is physically located in the United States or abroad.
(b) The registration in a foreign country of any aircraft, vessel or
satellite covered by the U.S. Munitions List which is not registered in the
United States but which is located in the United States constitutes an export. A
license or written approval from the Office of Defense Trade Controls is
therefore required. Such transactions may also require the prior approval of the
Maritime Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration or other agencies
of the U.S. Government.
 123.9 -- Country of ultimate destination and approval of reexports or
retransfers.
(a) The country designated as the country of ultimate destination on an
application for an export license, or on a Shipper's Export Declaration where an
exemption is claimed under this subchapter, must be the country of ultimate end-
use. The written approval of the Office of Defense Trade Controls must be
obtained before reselling, transferring, transshipping, or disposing of a
defense article to any end user, end use or destination other than as stated on
the export license, or on the Shipper's Export Declaration in cases where an
exemption is claimed under this subchapter. Exporters must ascertain the
specific end-user and end-use prior to submitting an application to the Office
of Defense Trade Controls or claiming an exemption under this subchapter.
(b) The exporter shall incorporate the following statement as an integral
part of the bill of lading, and the invoice whenever defense articles on the
U.S. Munitions List are to be exported:
These commodities are authorized by the U.S. Government for export only to
[country of ultimate destination] for use by [end-user]. They may not be
transferred, transshipped on a non-continuous voyage, or otherwise be disposed
of in any other country, either in their original form or after being
incorporated into other end-items, without the prior written approval of the
U.S. Department of State."
(c) A U.S. person or a foreign person requesting approval for the reexport or
retransfer, or change in end-use, of a defense article shall submit a written
request which shall be subject to all the documentation required for a permanent
export license (see  123.1) and shall contain the following:
(1) The license number under which the defense article was previously
authorized for export from the United States;
(2) A precise description, quantity and value of the defense article;
(3) A description of the new end-use; and
(4) Identification of the new end-user.
(d) The written approval of the Office of Defense Trade Controls must be
obtained before reselling, transferring, transshipping on a non-continuous
voyage, or disposing of a defense article in any country other than the country
of ultimate destination, or anyone other than the authorized end-user, as stated
on the Shipper's Export Declaration in cases where an exemption is claimed under
this subchapter.
(e) Reexports or retransfers of U.S.-origin components incorporated into a
foreign defense article to a government of a NATO country, or the governments of
Australia or Japan, are authorized without the prior written approval of the
Office of Defense Trade Controls, provided:
(1) The U.S.-origin components were previously authorized for export from the
United States, either by a license or an exemption;
(2) The U.S.-origin components are not significant military equipment, the
items are not major defense equipment sold under a contract in the amount of $
14,000,000 ($ 14 million) or more; the articles are not defense articles or
defense services sold under a contract in the amount of $ 50,000,000 ($ 50
million) or more; and are not identified in part 121 of this subchapter as
Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) items; and
(3) The person reexporting the defense article must provide written
notification to the Office of Defense Trade Controls of the retransfer not later
than 30 days following the reexport. The notification must state the articles
being reexported and the recipient government.
(4) In certain cases, the Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls, may
place retransfer restrictions on a license prohibiting use of this exemption.
 123.10 -- Non-transfer and use assurances.
(a) A nontransfer and use certificate (Form DSP-83) is required for the
export of significant military equipment and classified articles including
classified technical data. A license will [*39302] not be issued until a
completed Form DSP-83 has been received by the Office of Defense Trade Controls.
This form is to be executed by the foreign consignee, foreign end-user, and the
applicant. The certificate stipulates that, except as specifically authorized by
prior written approval of the Department of State, the foreign consignee and
foreign end-user will not reexport, resell or otherwise dispose of the
significant military equipment enumerated in the application outside the country
named as the location of the foreign end-use or to any other person.
(b) The Office of Defense Trade Controls may also require a DSP-83 for the
export of any other defense articles or defense services.
(c) When a DSP-83 is required for an export of any defense article or defense
service to a non-governmental foreign end-user, the Office of Defense Trade
Controls may require as a condition of issuing the license that the appropriate
authority of the government of the country of ultimate destination also execute
the certificate.
 123.11 -- Movements of vessels and aircraft covered by the U.S. Munitions
List outside the United States.
(a) A license issued by the Office of Defense Trade Controls is required
whenever a privately-owned aircraft or vessel on the U.S. Munitions List makes a
voyage outside the United States.
(b) Exemption. An export license is not required when a vessel or aircraft
referred to in paragraph (a) of this section departs from the United States and
does not enter the territorial waters or airspace of a foreign country if no
defense articles are carried as cargo. Such a vessel or aircraft may not enter
the territorial waters or airspace of a foreign country before returning to the
United States, or carry as cargo any defense article, without a temporary export
license (Form DSP-73) from the Department of State. (See  123.5.)
 123.12 -- Shipments between U.S. possessions.
An export license is not required for the shipment of defense articles
between the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S.
possessions. A license is required, however, for the export of defense articles
from these areas to foreign countries.
 123.13 -- Domestic aircraft shipments via a foreign country.
A license is not required for the shipment by air of a defense article from
one location in the United States to another location in the United States via a
foreign country. The pilot of the aircraft must, however, file a written
statement with the District Director of Customs at the port of exit in the
United States. The original statement must be filed at the time of exit with the
District Director of Customs. A duplicate must be filed at the port of reentry
with the District Director of Customs, who will duly endorse it and transmit it
to the District Director of Customs at the port of exit. The statement will be
as follows:
Domestic Shipment Via a Foreign Country of Articles on the U.S. Munitions List
Under penalty according to Federal law, the undersigned certifies and
warrants that all the information in this document is true and correct, and that
the equipment listed below is being shipped from (U.S. port of exit) via
(foreign country) to (U.S. port of entry), which is the final destination in the
United States.
Description of Equipment __________ Quantity: __________ Equipment: __________
Value: __________ Signed:
Endorsement: Customs Inspector. __________ Port of Exit __________ Date:
__________ Signed:
Endorsement: Customs Inspector. __________ Port of Entry: __________ Date:
 123.14 -- Import certificate/delivery verification procedure.
(a) The Import Certificate/Delivery Verification Procedure is designed to
assure that a commodity imported into the territory of those countries
participating in IC/DV procedures will not be diverted, transshipped, or
reexported to another destination except in accordance with export control
regulations of the importing country.
(b) Exports. The Office of Defense Trade Controls may require the IC/DV
procedure on proposed exports of defense articles to non-government entities in
those countries participating in IC/DV procedures. In such cases, U.S. exporters
must submit both an export license application (the completed Form DSP-5) and
the original Import Certificate, which must be provided and authenticated by the
government of the importing country. This document verifies that the foreign
importer complied with the import regulations of the government of the importing
country and that the importer declared the intention not to divert, transship or
reexport the material described therein without the prior approval of that
government. After delivery of the commodities to the foreign consignee, the
Department of State may also require U.S. exporters to furnish Delivery
Verification documentation from the government of the importing country. This
documentation verifies that the delivery was in accordance with the terms of the
approved export license. Both the Import Certificate and the Delivery
Verification must be furnished to the U.S. exporter by the foreign importer.
(c) Triangular transactions. When a transaction involves three or more
countries that have adopted the IC/DV procedure, the governments of these
countries may stamp a triangular symbol on the Import Certificate. This symbol
is usually placed on the Import Certificate when the applicant for the Import
Certificate (the importer) states either (1) that there is uncertainty whether
the items covered by the Import Certificate will be imported into the country
issuing the Import Certificate; (2) that he or she knows that the items will not
be imported into the country issuing the Import Certificate; or (3) that, if the
items are to be imported into the country issuing the Import Certificate, they
will subsequently be reexported to another destination. All parties, including
the ultimate consignee in the country of ultimate destination, must be shown on
the completed Import Certificate.
 123.15 -- Congressional notification for licenses.
All exports of major defense equipment, as defined in  120.8 of this
subchapter, sold under a contract in the amount of $ 14,000,000 or more, or
exports of defense articles and defense services sold under a contract in the
amount of $ 50,000,000 or more, may take place only after the Office of Defense
Trade Controls notifies the exporter through issuance of a license or other
approval that 30 calendar days have elapsed since receipt by the Congress of the
certification required by 22 U.S.C. 2776(c)(1) and that Congress has not enacted
a joint resolution prohibiting the export. Persons who intend to export defense
articles and defense services pursuant to any exemption in this subchapter
(e.g.,  126.5 of this subchapter) under the circumstances described in the
first sentence of this subsection must notify the Office of Defense Trade
Controls by letter of the intended export and, prior to transmittal to Congress,
provide a signed contract and a DSP-83 signed by the applicant, the foreign
consignee and end-user.
 123.16 -- Exemptions of general applicability.
(a) The following exemptions apply to exports of unclassified defense
articles for which no approval is needed from the Office of Defense Trade
Controls. [*39303] These exemptions do not apply to: Proscribed destinations
under  126.1 of this subchapter; exports for which Congressional notification
is required; MTCR articles; and may not be used by persons who are generally
ineligible as described in  120.1(c) of this subchapter. All shipments of
defense articles, including those to and from Canada, require a Shippers Export
Declaration (SED). If the defense article is exempt from licensing, the SED must
cite the exemption. Refer to  123.22(c) for Shipper's Export Declaration
requirements.
(b) The following exports are exempt from the licensing requirements of this
subchapter.
(1) District Directors of Customs shall permit the export without a license
of defense articles being exported in furtherance of an approved manufacturing
license agreement, technical assistance agreement or distribution agreement
provided that:
(i) The defense articles to be exported support the activity and must be
identified by item, quantity and value in the agreement; and
(ii) Any provisos or limitations placed on the authorized agreement are
adhered to; and
(iii) The exporter certifies on the Shipper's Export Declaration that the
export is exempt from the licensing requirements of this subchapter. This is
done by writing, "22 CFR 123.16(b)(1) and AG [identify agreement number]
applicable and
(iv) The total value of all shipments does not exceed the value authorized in
the agreement.
(v) In the case of distribution agreements, export must be made directly to
the approved foreign distributor.
(2) District Directors of Customs shall permit the export of components or
spare parts (for exemptions for firearms and ammunition see  123.17) without a
license when the total value does not exceed $ 500 in a single transaction and:
(i) The components or spare parts are being exported to support a defense
article previously authorized for export; and
(ii) The spare parts or components are not going to a distributor, but to a
previously approved end-user of the defense articles; and
(iii) The spare parts or components are not to be used to enhance the
capability of the defense article;
(iv) exporters shall not split orders so as not to exceed the dollar value of
this exemption;
(v) the exporter may not make more than 24 shipments per calender year to the
previously authorized end user;
(vi) The exporter must certify on the Shipper's Export Declaration that the
export is exempt from the licensing requirements of this subchapter. This is
done by writing 22 CFR 123.16(b)(2) applicable.
(3) District Directors of Customs shall permit the export without a license,
of packing cases specially designed to carry defense articles.
(4) District Directors of Customs shall permit the export without a license,
of unclassified models or mock-ups of defense articles, provided that such
models or mock-ups are nonoperable and do not reveal any technical data in
excess of that which is exempted from the licensing requirements of  125.4(b)
of this subchapter and do not contain components covered by the U.S. Munitions
List (see  120.6(b) of this subchapter). Some models or mockups built to scale
or constructed of original materials can reveal technical data. U.S. persons who
avail themselves of this exemption must provide a written certification to the
District Director of Customs that these conditions are met. This exemption does
not imply that the Office of Defense Trade Controls will approve the export of
any defense articles for which models or mocks-ups have been exported pursuant
to this exemption.
(5) District Directors of Customs shall permit the temporary export without a
license of unclassified defense articles to any public exhibition, trade show,
air show or related event if that article has previously been licensed for a
public exhibition, trade show, air show or related event and the license is
still valid. U.S. persons who avail themselves of this exemption must provide a
written certification to the District Director of Customs that these conditions
are met.
(6) For exemptions for firearms and ammunition for personal use refer to 
123.17.
(7) For exemptions for firearms for personal use of members of the U.S. Armed
Forces and civilian employees see  123.18.
(8) For exports to Canada refer to  126.5 of this subchapter.
(9) District Directors of Customs shall permit the temporary export without a
license by a U.S. person of any unclassified component, part, tool or test
equipment to a subsidiary, affiliate or facility owned or controlled by the U.S.
person (see  122.2(c) of this subchapter) if the component, part, tool or test
equipment is to be used for manufacture, assembly, testing, production, or
modification provided:
(i) The U.S. person is registered with the Office of Defense Trade Controls
and complies with all requirements set forth in part 122 of this subchapter;
(ii) No defense article exported under this exemption may be sold or
transferred without the appropriate license or other approval from the Office of
Defense Trade Controls.
 123.17 -- Exports of firearms and ammunition.

Category I(a) firearms, except barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or
complete breach mechanisms when the total value does not exceed $ 500 wholesale
in any transaction.
(b) District Directors of Customs shall permit the export without a license
of nonautomatic firearms covered by Category I(a) of  121.1 of this subchapter

temporarily from the United States without a license not more than three
nonautomatic firearms in Category I(a) of  121.1 of this subchapter and not
more than 1,000 cartridges therefor, provided that:
(1) A declaration by the U.S. person and an inspection by a customs officer
is made;
(2) The firearms and accompanying ammunition must be with the U.S. person's
baggage or effects, whether accompanied or unaccompanied (but not mailed); and
(3) They must be for that person's exclusive use and not for reexport or
other transfer of ownership. The foregoing exemption is not applicable to a
crew-member of a vessel or aircraft unless the crew-member declares the firearms
to a Customs officer upon each departure from the United States, and declares
that it is his or her intention to return the article(s) on each return to the
United States. It is also not applicable to the personnel referred to in 
123.18.
(d) District Directors of Customs shall permit a foreign person to export
without a license such firearms in Category I(a) of  121.1 of this subchapter
and ammunition therefor as the foreign person brought into the United States
under the provisions of 27 CFR 178.115(d). (The latter provision specifically
excludes from the definition of importation the bringing into the United States
of firearms and ammunition by certain foreign persons for specified purposes).
(e) District Directors of Customs shall permit U.S. persons to export without
a [*39304] license ammunition for nonautomatic firearms referred to in
paragraph (a) of this section if the quantity does not exceed 1,000 cartridges
(or rounds) in any shipment. The ammunition must also be for personal use and
not for resale or other transfer of ownership. The foregoing exemption is also
not applicable to the personnel referred to in  123.18.
 123.18 -- Firearms for personal use of members of the U.S. Armed Forces and
civilian employees of the U.S. Government.
The following exemptions apply to members of the U.S. Armed Forces and
civilian employees of the U.S. Government who are U.S. persons (both referred
assigned abroad for extended duty. These exemptions do not apply to dependents.
(a) Firearms. District Directors of Customs shall permit nonautomatic
firearms in Category I(a) of  121.1 of this subchapter and parts therefor to be
exported, except by mail, from the United States without a license if:
(1) They are consigned to servicemen's clubs abroad for uniformed members of
the U.S. Armed Forces; or,
(2) In the case of a uniformed member of the U.S. Armed Forces or a civilian
employee of the Department of Defense, they are for personal use and not for
resale or other transfer of ownership, and if the firearms are accompanied by a
written authorization from the commanding officer concerned; or
(3) In the case of other U.S. Government employees, they are for personal use
and not for resale or other transfer of ownership, and the Chief of the U.S.
Diplomatic Mission or his designee in the country of destination has approved in

of firearms into that country. The exporter shall provide a copy of this written
statement to the District Director of Customs.
(b) Ammunition. District Directors of Customs shall permit not more than
1,000 cartridges (or rounds) of ammunition for the firearms referred to in

United States en route to a delivery point in the same country that originated
the shipment is exempt from the requirement for an in transit license.
 123.20 -- Nuclear materials.
(a) The provisions of this subchapter do not apply to equipment in Category
VI(e) and Category XVI of  121.1 of this subchapter to the extent such
equipment is under the export control of the Department of Energy or the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and
the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978.
(b) A license for the export of any machinery, device, component, equipment,
or technical data relating to equipment referred to in Category VI(e) will not
be granted unless the proposed export comes within the scope of an existing
Agreement for Cooperation for Mutual Defense Purposes concluded pursuant to the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, with the government of the country to
which the article is to be exported. Licenses may be granted in the absence of
such an agreement only (1) if the proposed export involves an article which is
identical to that in use in an unclassified civilian nuclear power plant, (2) if
the proposed export has no relationship to naval nuclear propulsion, and (3) if
it is not for use in a naval propulsion plant.
 123.21 -- Duration, renewal and disposition of licenses.
(a) A license is valid for four years. The license expires when the total
value or quantity authorized has been shipped or when the date of expiration has
been reached, whichever occurs first. Defense articles to be shipped thereafter
require a new application and license. The new application should refer to the
expired license. It should not include references to any defense articles other
than those of the unshipped balance of the expired license.
(b) Unused, expired, expended, suspended, or revoked licenses must be
returned immediately to the Department of State.
 123.22 -- Filing of export licenses and Shipper's Export Declarations with
District Directors of Customs.
(a) The exporter must deposit the license with the District Director of
Customs at the port of exit before shipment, unless paragraph (d) of this
section or  125.9 applies (for exports by mail, see  123.24). Licenses for
temporary export or temporary import are to be retained by the exporter and
presented to the District Director of Customs at the time of import or export
for endorsement. If necessary, the export may be made through a port other than
the one designated on the license if the exporter complies with the procedures
established by the U.S. Customs Service. Every license will be returned to the
Office of Defense Trade Controls by the District Director of Customs when the
total value or quantity authorized has been shipped or when the date of
expiration is reached, whichever occurs first.
(b) Before shipping any defense article, the exporter must also file a
Shipper's Export Declaration with the District Director of Customs at the port
of exit (unless otherwise exempt from filing a Shipper's Export Declaration).
The District Director of Customs at the port of exit must authenticate the
Shipper's Export Declaration, and endorse the license to show the shipments
actually made. The District Director of Customs will return a copy of each
authenticated Shipper's Export Declaration to the Office of Defense Trade
Controls.
(c) Except for the export of unclassified technical data, an exporter must
file a Shipper's Export Declaration with District Directors of Customs or
Postmasters in those cases in which no export license is required because of an
exemption under this subchapter. The exporter must certify that the export is
exempt from the licensing requirements of this subchapter by writing 22 CFR
(identify section) and 22 CFR 120.1(b) applicable on the Shipper's Export
Declaration, and by identifying the section under which an exemption is claimed.
A copy of each such declaration must be mailed immediately by the exporter to
the Office of Defense Trade Controls.
(d) A Shipper's Export Declaration is not required for exports of
unclassified technical data. Exporters shall notify the Office of Defense Trade
Controls of the initial export of the data by either returning the license after
self endorsement or by sending a letter to the Office of Defense Trade Controls.
The letter shall provide the method, date, license number and airway bill number
(if applicable) of the shipment. The letter must be signed by an empowered
official of the company and provided to the Office of Defense Trade Controls
within thirty days of the initial export. Additionally, similar notification
must be provided to the Office of Defense Trade Controls for any subsequent
exports.
(e) If a license for the export of unclassified defense articles, including
technical data, is used but not endorsed by U.S. Customs or a Postmaster for
whatever reason (e.g., electronic transmission, unavailability of Customs
[*39305] officer or Postmaster, etc.), the person exporting the article must
self-endorse the license, showing when and how the export took place. Every
license shall also be returned by the exporter to the Office of Defense Trade
Controls when the total value or quantity authorized has been shipped or when
the date of expiration is reached, whichever occurs first.
 123.23 -- Monetary value of shipments.
District Directors of Customs shall permit the shipment of defense articles
identified on any license when the total value of the export does not exceed the
aggregate monetary value (not quantity) stated on the license by more than ten
percent, provided that the additional monetary value does not make the total
value of the license or other approval for the export of any major defense
equipment sold under a contract reach $ 14,000,000 or more, and provided that
the additional monetary value does not make defense articles or defense services
sold under a contract reach the amount of $ 50,000,000 or more.
 123.24 -- Shipments by mail.
A Shipper's Export Declaration must be authenticated before an article is
actually sent abroad by mail (see  123.22(d)). The postmaster or exporter will
endorse each license to show the shipments made. Every license must be returned
by the exporter to the Office of Defense Trade Controls upon completion of the
mailings.
 123.25 -- Amendments to licenses.
(a) The Office of Defense Trade Controls may approve an amendment to a
license for permanent export, temporary export and temporary import of
unclassified defense articles. A suggested format is available from the Office
of Defense Trade Controls.
(b) The following types of amendments to a license that will be considered:
Addition of U.S. freight forwarder or U.S. consignor; change due to an obvious
typographical error; change in source of commodity; and change of foreign
intermediate consignee if that party is only transporting the equipment and will
not process (e.g., integrate, modify) the equipment. For changes in U.S. dollar
value see  123.23.
(c) The following types of amendments to a license will not be approved:
Additional quantity, changes in commodity, country of ultimate destination, end-
use or end-user, foreign consignee and/or extension of duration. The foreign
intermediate consignee may only be amended if that party is acting as freight
forwarder and the export does not involve technical data. A new license is
required for these changes. Any new license submission must reflect only the
unshipped balance of quantity and dollar value.
 123.26 -- Recordkeeping requirement for exemptions.
When an exemption is claimed for the export of unclassified technical data,
the exporter must maintain a record of each such export. The business record
should include the following information: A description of the unclassified
technical data, the name of the recipient end-user, the date and time of the
export, and the method of transmission.

 124.1 -- Manufacturing license agreements and technical assistance
agreements.
(a) The approval of the Office of Defense Trade Controls must be obtained
before the defense services described in  120.9(a) of this subchapter may be
furnished. In order to obtain such approval, the U.S. person must submit a
proposed agreement to the Office of Defense Trade Controls. Such agreements are
generally characterized as either Manufacturing license agreements, technical
assistance agreements, distribution agreements or off-shore procurement
agreements, and may not enter into force without the prior written approval of
the Office of Defense Trade Controls. Once approved, the defense services
described in the agreements may generally be provided without further licensing
in accordance with  124.3 and 125.4(b)(2) of this subchapter. The requirements
of this section apply whether or not technical data is to be disclosed or used
in the performance of the defense services described in  120.9(a) of this
subchapter (e.g., all the information relied upon by the U.S. person in
performing the defense service is in the public domain or is otherwise exempt
from the licensing requirements of this subchapter pursuant to  125.4 of this
subchapter). This requirement also applies to the training of any foreign
military forces, regular and irregular, in the use of defense articles.
Technical assistance agreements must be submitted in such cases. In exceptional
cases, The Office of Defense Trade Controls, upon written request, will consider
approving the provision of defense services described in  120.9(a) of this
subchapter by granting a license under part 125 of this subchapter. Also, see 
126.8 of this subchapter for the requirements for prior approval of proposals
relating to significant military equipment.
(b) Classified Articles. Copies of approved agreements involving the release
of classified defense articles will be forwarded by the Office of Defense Trade
Controls to the Defense Investigative Service of the Department of Defense.
(c) Amendments. Changes to the scope of approved agreements, including
modifications, upgrades, or extensions must be submitted for approval. The
amendments may not enter into force until approved by the Office of Defense
Trade Controls.
(d) Minor Amendments. Amendments which only alter delivery or performance
schedules, or other minor administrative amendments which do not affect in any
manner the duration of the agreement or the clauses or information which must be
included in such agreements because of the requirements of this part, do not
have to be submitted for approval. One copy of all such minor amendments must be
submitted to the Office of Defense Trade Controls within thirty days after they
are concluded.
 124.2 -- Exemptions for training and military service.
(a) Technical assistance agreements are not required for the provision of
[*39306] training in the basic operation and maintenance of defense articles
lawfully exported or authorized for export to the same recipient. This does not
include training in intermediate and depot level maintenance.
(b) Services performed as a member of the regular military forces of a
foreign nation by U.S. persons who have been drafted into such forces are not
deemed to be defense services for purposes of  120.9 of this subchapter.

 124.9 -- Additional clauses required only in manufacturing license
agreements.
(a) Clauses for all manufacturing license agreements. The following clauses
must be included only in manufacturing license agreements:
(1) "No export, sale, transfer, or other disposition of the licensed article
is authorized to any country outside the territory wherein manufacture or sale
is herein licensed without the prior written approval of the U.S. Government
unless otherwise exempted by the U.S. Government. Sales or other [*39307]
transfers of the licensed article shall be limited to governments of countries
wherein manufacture or sale is hereby licensed and to private entities seeking
to procure the licensed article pursuant to a contract with any such government
unless the prior written approval of the U.S. Government is obtained."
(2) "It is agreed that sales by licensee or its sub-licensees under contracts
made through the U.S. Government will not include either charges for patent
rights in which the U.S. Government holds a royalty-free license, or charges for
data which the U.S. Government has a right to use and disclose to others, which
are in the public domain, or which the U.S. Government has acquired or is
entitled to acquire without restrictions upon their use and disclosure to
others."
(3) "If the U.S. Government is obligated or becomes obligated to pay to the
licensor royalties, fees, or other charges for the use of technical data or
patents which are involved in the manufacture, use, or sale of any licensed
article, any royalties, fees or other charges in connection with purchases of
such licensed article from licensee or its sub-licensees with funds derived
through the U.S. Government may not exceed the total amount the U.S. Government
would have been obligated to pay the licensor directly."
(4) "If the U.S. Government has made financial or other contributions to the
design and development of any licensed article, any charges for technical
assistance or know-how relating to the item in connection with purchases of such
articles from licensee or sub-licensees with funds derived through the U.S.
Government must be proportionately reduced to reflect the U.S. Government
contributions, and subject to the provisions of paragraphs (a) (2) and (3) of
this section, no other royalties, or fees or other charges may be assessed
against U.S. Government funded purchases of such articles. However, charges may
be made for reasonable reproduction, handling, mailing, or similar
administrative costs incident to the furnishing of such data."
(5) "The parties to this agreement agree that an annual report of sales or
other transfers pursuant to this agreement of the licensed articles, by
quantity, type, U.S. dollar value, and purchaser or recipient, shall be provided
by (applicant or licensee) to the Department of State." This clause must specify
which party is obligated to provide the annual report. Such reports may be
submitted either directly by the licensee or indirectly through the licensor,
and may cover calendar or fiscal years. Reports shall be deemed proprietary
information by the Department of State and will not be disclosed to unauthorized
persons. See  126.10(b) of this subchapter.
(6) (Licensee) agrees to incorporate the following statement as an integral
provision of a contract, invoice or other appropriate document whenever the
licensed articles are sold or otherwise transferred:
These commodities are authorized for export by the U.S. Government only to
(country of ultimate destination or approved sales territory). They may not be
resold, diverted, transferred, transshipped, or otherwise be disposed of in any
other country, either in their original form or after being incorporated through
an intermediate process into other end-items, without the prior written approval
of the U.S. Department of State.
(b) Special clause for agreements relating to significant military equipment.
With respect to an agreement for the production of significant military
equipment, the following additional provisions must be included in the
agreement:
(1) "A completed nontransfer and use certificate (DSP-83) must be executed by
the foreign end-user and submitted to the Department of State of the United
States before any transfer may take place."
(2) "The prior written approval of the U.S. Government must be obtained
before entering into a commitment for the transfer of the licensed article by
sale or otherwise to any person or government outside of the approved sales
territory."
 124.10 -- Nontransfer and use assurances.
A nontransfer and use certificate (Form DSP-83) (see  123.10 of this
subchapter) signed by the applicant and the foreign party to a manufacturing
license agreement or technical assistance agreement is required as a condition
to the approval of any such agreement which relates to significant military
equipment, classified articles or classified technical data. The Office of
Defense Trade Controls may in some cases require that this certificate or a
comparable undertaking be provided before approving an agreement that does not
relate to significant military equipment. The Office of Defense Trade Controls
may also require as a condition of approval that an appropriate authority of the
foreign party's government also execute the certificate or provide undertakings
comparable to those contained in the Form DSP-83 (e.g., in a diplomatic note).
Agreements involving classified articles or classified technical data should be
accompanied by a nontransfer and use certificate signed by an authorized
representative of the foreign government concerned unless the Office of Defense
Trade Controls has granted an exception to this requirement.
 124.11 -- Certification to Congress for agreements.

under a contract in the amount of $ 50 million or more, shall be certified to
Congress by the Department as required by 22 U.S.C. 2776(c)(1). The Office of
Defense Trade Controls will not approve agreements requiring Congressional
notification until 30 calendar days have elapsed since receipt by the Congress
of the required certification without the Congress having enacted a joint
resolution prohibiting the agreement.
 124.12 -- Required information in letters of transmittal.
(a) An application for the approval of a manufacturing license or technical
assistance agreement with a foreign person must be accompanied by an explanatory
letter. The original letter and seven copies of the letter and eight copies of

number of the U.S. Government office that classified the information.
(9) For agreements that may require the export of classified information, the
Defense Investigative Service cognizant security offices that have
responsibility for the facilities of the U.S. parties to the agreement shall be
identified. The facility security clearance codes of the U.S. parties shall also
be provided.
(b) The following statements must be made in the letter of transmittal:
(1) "If the agreement is approved by the Department of State, such approval
will not be construed by (the applicant) as passing on the legality of the
agreement from the standpoint of antitrust laws or other applicable statutes,
nor will (the applicant) construe the Department's approval as constituting
either approval or disapproval of any of the business terms or conditions
between the parties to the agreement."
(2) "The (applicant) will not permit the proposed agreement to enter into
force until it has been approved by the Department of State."
(3) "The (applicant) will furnish the Department of State with one copy of
the signed agreement (or amendment) within 30 days from the date that the
agreement is concluded and will inform the Department of its termination not
less than 30 days prior to expiration and provide information on the
continuation of any foreign rights or the flow of technical data to the foreign
party. If a decision is made not to conclude the proposed agreement, the

to require that all sub-licensing arrangements incorporate all the provisions of
the basic agreement that refer to the U.S. Government and the Department of
State (i.e., 22 CFR 124.9 and 124.10)."
 124.13 -- Procurement by United States persons in foreign countries
(offshore procurement).
Notwithstanding the other provisions in part 124 of this subchapter, the
Office of Defense Trade Controls may authorize by means of a license (DSP-5) the
export of unclassified technical data to foreign persons for offshore
procurement of defense articles, provided that:
(a) The contract or purchase order for offshore procurement limits delivery
of the defense articles to be produced only to the person in the United States
or to an agency of the U.S. Government; and
(b) The technical data of U.S.-origin to be used in the foreign manufacture
of defense articles does not exceed that required for bid purposes on a build-
to-print basis (build-to-print means producing an end-item (i.e., system,
subsystem or component) from technical drawings and specifications (which
contain no process or know-how information) without the need for additional
technical assistance). Release of supporting documentation (e.g., acceptance
criteria, object code software for numerically controlled machines) is
permissible. Build-to-print does not include the release of any information
which discloses design methodology, engineering analysis, detailed process
information or manufacturing know-how); and
(c) The contract or purchase order between the person in the United States
and the foreign person:
(1) Limits the use of the technical data to the manufacture of the defense
articles required by the contract or purchase order only; and
(2) Prohibits the disclosure of the data to any other person except
subcontractors within the same country; and
(3) Prohibits the acquisition of any rights in the data by any foreign
person; and
(4) Provides that any subcontracts between foreign persons in the approved
country for manufacture of equipment for delivery pursuant to the contract or
purchase order contain all the limitations of this paragraph (c); and
(5) Requires the foreign person, including subcontractors, to destroy or
return to the person in the United States all of the technical data exported
pursuant to the contract or purchase order upon fulfillment of their terms; and
(6) Requires delivery of the defense articles manufactured abroad only to the
person in the United States or to an agency of the U.S. Government; and
(d) The person in the United States provides the Office of Defense Trade
Controls with a copy of each contract, purchase order or subcontract for
offshore procurement at the time it is accepted. Each such contract, purchase
order or subcontract must clearly identify the article to be produced and must
identify the license number or exemption under which the technical data was
exported; and
(e) Licenses issued pursuant to this section must be renewed upon their
expiration if offshore procurement is to extend beyond the period of validity of
the license. If the technical data involved in an offshore procurement
arrangement is otherwise exempt from the licensing requirements pursuant to 
126.4 or  126.5 of this subchapter, the DSP-5 referred to in the first sentence
of this section is not required. However, the exporter must comply with the
other requirements of this section. The exemptions under  125.4 of this
subchapter may not be used to establish offshore procurement arrangements.
 124.14 -- Exports to warehouses or distribution points outside the United
States.
(a) Agreements (e.g., contracts) between U.S. persons and foreign persons for
the warehousing and distribution of defense articles must be approved by the
Office of Defense Trade Controls before they enter into force. Such agreements
will be limited to unclassified defense articles and must contain conditions for
special distribution, end-use and reporting. Licenses for exports pursuant to
such agreements must be obtained prior to exports of the defense articles unless
an exemption under  123.16(b)(1) of this subchapter is applicable.
(b) Required Information. Proposed warehousing and distribution agreements
(and amendments thereto) shall be submitted to the Office of Defense Trade
Controls for approval. The following information must be included in all such

equipment covered by the U.S. Munitions List. This shall include when applicable
the military nomenclature, the Federal stock number, nameplate data, and any
control numbers under which the defense articles were developed or procured by
the U.S. Government. Only those defense articles specifically listed in the
agreement will be eligible for export under the exemption in  123.16(b)(1) of
this subchapter. [*39309]
(2) A detailed statement of the terms and conditions under which the defense
articles will be exported and distributed;
(3) The duration of the proposed agreement;
(4) Specific identification of the country or countries that comprise the
distribution territory. Distribution must be specifically limited to the
governments of such countries or to private entities seeking to procure defense
articles pursuant to a contract with a government within the distribution
territory or to other eligible entities as specified by the Office of Defense
Trade Controls. Consequently, any deviation from this condition must be fully
explained and justified. A nontransfer and use certificate (DSP-83) will be
required to the same extent required in licensing agreements under  124.9(b).
(c) Required statements. The following statements must be included in all
warehousing and distribution agreements:
(1) "This agreement shall not enter into force, and may not be amended or

covered by this agreement is authorized to any country outside the distribution
territory without the prior written approval of the Office of Defense Trade
Controls of the U.S. Department of State."
(6) "The parties to this agreement agree that an annual report of sales or
other transfers pursuant to this agreement of the licensed articles, by
quantity, type, U.S. dollar value, and purchaser or recipient shall be provided
by (applicant or licensee) to the Department of State." This clause must specify
which party is obligated to provide the annual report. Such reports may be
submitted either directly by the licensee or indirectly through the licensor,
and may cover calendar or fiscal years. Reports shall be deemed proprietary
information by the Department of State and will not be disclosed to unauthorized
persons. (See  126.10(b) of this subchapter.)
(7) (Licensee) agrees to incorporate the following statement as an integral
provision of a contract, invoice or other appropriate document whenever the
articles covered by this agreement are sold or otherwise transferred:
These commodities are authorized for export by the U.S. Government only to
(country of ultimate destination or approved sales territory). They may not be
resold, diverted, transferred, transshipped, or otherwise be disposed of in any
other country, either in their original form or after being incorporated through
an intermediate process into other end-items, without the prior written approval
of the U.S. Department of State.
(8) "All provisions in this agreement which refer to the United States
Government and the Department of State will remain binding on the parties after
the termination of the agreement."

significant military equipment, the following additional provisions must be
included in the agreement:
(1) A completed nontransfer and use certificate (DSP-83) must be executed by
the foreign end-user and submitted to the U.S. Department of State before any
transfer may take place.
(2) The prior written approval of the U.S. Department of State must be
obtained before entering into a commitment for the transfer of the licensed
article by sale or otherwise to any person or government outside the approved
distribution territory.
(e) Transmittal Letters. Requests for approval of warehousing and
distribution agreements with foreign persons must be made by letter. The
original letter and seven copies of the letter and seven copies of the proposed
agreement shall be submitted to the Office of Defense Trade Controls. The letter

(3) Technical data, including classified information, in furtherance of a
contract between the exporter and an agency of the U.S. Government, if the
contract provides for the export of the data and such data does not disclose the
details of design, development, production, or manufacture of any defense
article;
(4) Copies of technical data, including classified information, previously
authorized for export to the same recipient. Revised copies of such technical
data are also exempt if they pertain to the identical defense article, and if
the revisions are solely editorial and do not add to the content of technology
previously exported or authorized for export to the same recipient;
(5) Technical data, including classified information, in the form of basic
operations, maintenance, and training information relating to a defense article
lawfully exported or authorized for export to the same recipient. Intermediate
or depot-level repair and maintenance information may be exported only under a

(6) Technical data, including classified information, related to firearms not
in excess of caliber .50 and ammunition for such weapons, except detailed
design, development, production or manufacturing information;
(7) Technical data, including classified information, being returned to the
original source of import;
(8) Technical data directly related to classified information which has been
previously exported or authorized for export in accordance with this part to the
same recipient, and which does not disclose the details of the design,
development, production, or manufacture of any defense article;
(9) Technical data, including classified information, sent by a U.S.
corporation to a U.S. person employed by that corporation overseas or to a U.S.
Government agency. This exemption is subject to the limitations of  125.1(b)
and may be used only if:
(i) The technical data is to be used overseas solely by U.S. persons;
(ii) If the U.S. person overseas is an employee of the U.S. Government or is
directly employed by the U.S. corporation and not by a foreign subsidiary; and
(iii) The classified information is sent overseas in accordance with the
requirements of the Department of Defense Industrial Security Manual.
(10) Disclosures of unclassified technical data in the U.S. by U.S.
institutions of higher learning to foreign persons who are their bona fide and
full time regular employees. This exemption is available only if:
(i) The employee's permanent abode throughout the period of employment is in
the United States;
(ii) The employee is not a national of a country to which exports are
prohibited pursuant to  126.1 of this subchapter; and
(iii) The institution informs the individual in writing that the technical
data may not be transferred to other foreign persons without the prior written
approval of the Office of Defense Trade Controls;
(11) Technical data, including classified information, for which the
exporter, pursuant to an arrangement with the Department of Defense, Department
of Energy or NASA which requires such exports, has been granted an exemption in
writing from the licensing provisions of this part by the Office of Defense
Trade Controls. Such an exemption will normally be granted only if the
arrangement directly implements an international agreement to which the United
States is a party and if multiple exports are contemplated. The Office of
Defense Trade Controls, in consultation with the relevant U.S. Government
agencies, will determine whether the interests of the United States Government
are best served by expediting exports under an arrangement through an exemption
(see also paragraph (b)(3) of this section for a related exemption);
(12) Technical data which is specifically exempt under part 126 of this
subchapter; or
(13) Technical data approved for public release (i.e., unlimited
distribution) by the cognizant U.S. Government department or agency or
Directorate for Freedom of Information and Security Review. This exemption is
applicable to information approved by the cognizant U.S. Government department
or agency for public release in any form. It does not require that the
information be published in order to qualify for the exemption.
 125.5 -- Exemptions for plant visits.
(a) A license is not required for the oral and visual disclosure of
unclassified technical data during the course of a classified plant visit by a
foreign person, provided (1) the classified visit has itself been authorized
pursuant to a license issued by the Office of Defense Trade Controls; or (2) the
classified visit was approved in connection with an actual or potential
government-to-government program or project by a U.S. Government agency having
classification jurisdiction over the classified defense article or classified
technical data involved under Executive Order 12356 or other applicable
Executive Order; and (3) the unclassified information to be released is directly
related to the classified defense article or technical data for which approval
was obtained and does not disclose the details of the design, development,
production or manufacture of any other defense articles. In the case of visits
involving classified information, the requirements of the Defense Industrial

agency if (1) the requirements of the Defense Industrial Security Manual have
been met, (2) the classified information is directly related to that which was
approved by the U.S. Government agency, (3) it does not exceed that for which
approval was obtained, and (4) it does not disclose the details of the design,
development, production or manufacture of any defense articles.
(c) A license is not required for the disclosure to a foreign person of
unclassified technical data during the course of a plant visit (either

of unclassified technical data (see  123.22 (d) of this subchapter.
(b) If a District Director of Customs or Postmaster is unavailable at the
time of export, or if the export is via oral, visual, or electronic means, the
exporter must also complete a written certification as indicated in paragraph
(a) of this section.

not endorsed by U.S. Customs or a Postmaster for whatever reason (e.g.,
electronic transmission, unavailability of Customs officer or Postmaster, etc.),
the person exporting the data must self-endorse the license, showing when and
how the export took place. Every license must be returned to the Office of
Defense Trade Controls when the total value authorized has been shipped or when
the date of expiration has been reached, whichever occurs first.
 125.9 -- Filing of licenses and other authorizations for exports of
classified technical data and classified defense articles.
Licenses and other authorizations for the export of classified technical data
or classified defense articles will be forwarded by the Office of Defense Trade
Controls to the Defense Investigative Service of the Department of Defense in

629, 90 Stat. 744 (22 U.S.C. 2752, 2778, 2780, and 2791, and 2797); E.O. 11958,
42 FR 4311, E.O. 11322, 32 FR 119; 22 U.S.C. 2658.
 126.1 -- Prohibited exports and sales to certain countries.
(a) It is the policy of the United States to deny licenses, other approvals,
exports and imports of defense articles and defense services, destined for or
originating in certain countries. This policy applies to: Albania, Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Byelarus, Cambodia, Cuba, Estonia, Georgia, Iran, Iraq,
Libya, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, North
Korea, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine,
Uzbekistan and Vietnam. This policy also applies to countries with respect to
which the United States maintains an arms embargo (e.g., Burma, China, Liberia,
Somalia, the Sudan, the former Yugoslavia, and Zaire) or for whenever an export
would not otherwise be in furtherance of world peace and the security and
foreign policy of the United States. Comprehensive arms embargoes are normally
the subject of a State Department notice published in the Federal Register. The
exemptions provided in the regulations in this subchapter, except  123.17 and
125.4(b)(13) of this subchapter, do not apply with respect to articles
originating in or for export to any proscribed countries or areas.
(b) Shipments. A defense article licensed for export under this subchapter
may not be shipped on a vessel, aircraft or other means of conveyance which is
owned or operated by, or leased to or from, any of the proscribed countries or
areas.
(c) South Africa. South Africa is subject to an arms embargo and thus to the
policy specified in paragraph (a) of this section. Exceptions may be made to
this policy only if the Assistant Secretary for Politico-Military Affairs
determines that:
(1) The item is not covered by United Nations Security Council Resolution 418
of November 4, 1977; and
(2) The item is to be exported solely for commercial purposes and not for use
by the armed forces, police, or other security forces of South Africa or for any
other similar purpose.
(d) Terrorism. Exports to countries which the Secretary of State has
determined to have repeatedly provided support for acts of international
terrorism are contrary to the foreign policy of the United States and are thus
subject to the policy specified in paragraph (a) of this section and the
requirements of section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2780) and
the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4801,
note). The countries in this category are: Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea
and Syria. The same countries are identified pursuant to section 6(j) of the
Export Administration Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j)).
(e) Proposed sales. No sale or transfer and no proposal to sell or transfer
any defense articles, defense services or technical data subject to this
subchapter may be made to any country referred to in this section (including the
embassies or consulates of such a country), or to any person acting on its
behalf, whether in the United States or abroad, without first obtaining a
license or written approval of the Office of Defense Trade Controls. However, in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this section, it is the policy of the
Department of State to deny licenses and approvals in such cases. Any person who
knows or has reason to know of such a proposed or actual sale, or transfer, of
such articles, services or data must immediately [*39313] inform the Office
of Defense Trade Controls.
 126.2 -- Temporary suspension or modification of this subchapter.
The Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls, may order the temporary
suspension or modification of any or all of the regulations of this subchapter
in the interest of the security and foreign policy of the United States.
 126.3 -- Exceptions.
In a case of exceptional or undue hardship, or when it is otherwise in the
interest of the United States Government, the Director, Office of Defense Trade
Controls may make an exception to the provisions of this subchapter.

service, by or for any agency of the U.S. Government (1) for official use by
such an agency, or (2) for carrying out any foreign assistance, cooperative
project or sales program authorized by law and subject to control by the
President by other means. This exemption applies only when all aspects of a
transaction (export, carriage, and delivery abroad) are effected by a United
States Government agency or when the export is covered by a United States
Government Bill of Lading. This exemption, however, does not apply when a U.S.
Government agency acts as a transmittal agent on behalf of a private individual
or firm, either as a convenience or in satisfaction of security requirements.
The approval of the Office of Defense Trade Controls must be obtained before
defense articles previously exported pursuant to this exemption are permanently
transferred (e.g., property disposal of surplus defense articles overseas)
unless (i) the transfer is pursuant to a grant, sale, lease, loan or cooperative
project under the Arms Export Control Act or a sale, lease or loan under the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, or (ii) the defense articles have
been rendered useless for military purposes beyond the possibility of
restoration.
Note: Special definition. For purposes of this section, defense articles
exported abroad for incorporation into a foreign launch vehicle or for use on a
foreign launch vehicle or satellite that is to be launched from a foreign
country shall be considered a permanent export.
(b) This section does not authorize any department or agency of the U.S.
Government to make any export which is otherwise prohibited by virtue of other
administrative provisions or by any statute.
(c) A license is not required for the temporary import, or temporary or
permanent export, of any classified or unclassified defense articles, including
technical data or the performance of a defense service, for end-use by a U.S.
Government Agency in a foreign country under the following circumstances:
(1) The export or temporary import is pursuant to a contract with, or written
direction by, an agency of the U.S. Government; and
(2) The end-user in the foreign country is a U.S. Government agency or
facility, and the defense articles or technical data will not be transferred to
any foreign person; and
(3) The urgency of the U.S. Government requirement is such that the
appropriate export license or U.S. Government Bill of Lading could not have been
obtained in a timely manner.
(d) A Shipper's Export Declaration (SED), required under  123.22(c) of this
subchapter, and a written statement by the exporter certifying that these
requirements have been met must be presented at the time of export to the
appropriate District Director of Customs or Department of Defense transmittal
authority. A copy of the SED and the written certification statement shall be
provided to the Office of Defense Trade Controls immediately following the
export.
 126.5 -- Canadian exemptions.
(a) District Directors of Customs and postmasters shall permit the export or
temporary import without a license of any unclassified defense article or any
unclassified technical data to Canada for end-use in Canada by Canadian citizens
or return to the United States, or from Canada for end-use in the United States
or return to a Canadian citizen in Canada, with the exception of the articles or
related technical data listed in paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) Exceptions. The exemptions of this section do not apply to the following

Category XX (a) through (d).
(7) Technical data for use by a foreign national other than a Canadian.
(8) Unclassified technical data directly related to a classified defense
article.
(c) Related requirements. The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export
license does not exempt an exporter from complying with the requirements set
forth in  123.15 of this subchapter or from filing the Shipper's Export
Declaration required by  123.22 of this subchapter.
(d) Part 124 agreements. The requirements of part 124 of this subchapter must
be complied with in the situations contemplated in that part. For example, the
except pursuant to an approved manufacturing license agreement or technical
assistance agreement.
 126.6 -- Foreign-owned military aircraft and naval vessels, and the Foreign
Military Sales program.
(a) A license from the Office of Defense Trade Controls is not required if:
(1)(i) The article or technical data to be exported was sold, leased, or
loaned by the Department of Defense to a foreign country or international

from the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs, Office of International Security
Operations.
(c) Procedures for the Foreign Military Sales Program. (1) District Directors
of Customs are authorized to permit the [*39314] export and temporary import
of classified and unclassified defense articles, defense services and technical
data without a license if the articles or technical data were sold, leased or
loaned by the U.S. Department of Defense to foreign governments or international
organizations under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program of the Arms Export
Control Act. This procedure may be used only if a proposed export is:
(i) Pursuant to an executed U.S. Department of Defense Letter of Offer and
Acceptance (DD Form 1513); and
(ii) Accompanied by a properly executed DSP-94, or in the case of a
classified shipment, an approved Letter of Offer and Acceptance; and

approvals.
(a) Policy. Licenses or approvals shall be denied or revoked whenever
required by any statute of the United States (see  127.6 and 127.10 of this
subchapter). Any application for an export license or other approval under this
subchapter may be disapproved, and any license or other approval or exemption
granted under this subchapter may be revoked, suspended, or amended without
prior notice whenever:
(1) The Department of State deems such action to be in furtherance of world
peace, the national security or the foreign policy of the United States, or is
otherwise advisable; or
(2) The Department of State believes that 22 U.S.C. 2778, any regulation
contained in this subchapter, or the terms of any U.S. Government export

assistance agreement, or export authorization granted pursuant to the Export
Administration Act, as amended) has been violated by any party to the export or
other person having significant interest in the transaction; or
(3) An applicant is the subject of an indictment for a violation of any of
the U.S. criminal statutes enumerated in  120.27 of this subchapter; or

significant interest in the transaction has been debarred, suspended, or
otherwise is ineligible to receive an export license or other authorization from
any agency of the U.S. government (e.g., pursuant to debarment by the Department
of Commerce under 15 CFR part 388 or by the Department of State under part 127

(3) Any consignee or end-user of any item to be exported.
 126.8 -- Proposals to foreign persons relating to significant military
equipment.
(a) Certain proposals to foreign persons for the sale or manufacture abroad
of significant military equipment require either the prior approval of, or prior
notification to, the Office of Defense Trade Controls.
(1) Sale of significant military equipment: Prior approval requirement. The
approval of the Office of Defense Trade Controls is required before a U.S.
person may make a proposal or presentation designed to constitute a basis for a
decision on the part of any foreign person to purchase significant [*39315]
military equipment on the U.S. Munitions List whenever all the following
conditions are met:
(i) The value of the significant military equipment to be sold is $
14,000,000 or more; and
(ii) The equipment is intended for use by the armed forces of any foreign
country other than a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
Australia, New Zealand, or Japan; and
(iii) The sale would involve the export from the United States of any defense
article or the furnishing abroad of any defense service including technical
data; and
(iv) The identical significant military equipment has not been previously
licensed for permanent export or approved for sale under the Foreign Military
Sales Program of the Department of Defense, to any foreign country.
(2) Sale of significant military equipment: Prior notification requirement.
The Office Defense Trade Controls must be notified in writing at least thirty
days in advance of any proposal or presentation concerning the sale of
significant military equipment whenever the conditions specified in paragraphs
(a)(1) (i) through (iii) of this section are met and the identical equipment has
been previously licensed for permanent export or approved for sale under the FMS
Program to any foreign country.
(3) Manufacture abroad of significant military equipment: Prior approval
requirement. The approval of the Office of Defense Trade Controls is required
before a U.S. person may make a proposal or presentation designed to constitute
a basis for a decision on the part of any foreign person to enter into any
manufacturing license agreement or technical assistance agreement for the
production or assembly of significant military equipment, regardless of dollar
value, in any foreign country, whenever:
(i) The equipment is intended for use by the armed forces of any foreign
country; and
(ii) The agreement would involve the export from the United States of any
defense article or the furnishing abroad of any defense service including
technical data.
(b) Definition of proposal or presentation. The terms proposal or
presentation (designed to constitute a basis for a decision to purchase and to
enter into any agreement) mean the communication of information in sufficient
detail that the person communicating that information knows or should know that
it would permit an intended purchaser to decide either to acquire the particular
equipment in question or to enter into the manufacturing license agreement or
technical assistance agreement. For example, a presentation which describes the
equipment's performance characteristics, price, and probable availability for
delivery would require prior notification or approval, as appropriate, where the
conditions specified in paragraph (a) of this section are met. By contrast, the
following would not require prior notification or approval: Advertising or other
reporting in a publication of general circulation; preliminary discussions to
ascertain market potential; or merely calling attention to the fact that a
company manufactures a particular item of significant military equipment.
(c) Satisfaction of requirements. (1) The requirement of this section for
prior approval is met by any of the following:
(i) A written statement from the Office of Defense Trade Controls approving
the proposed sale or agreement or approving the making of a proposal or
presentation.
(ii) A license issued under  125.2 or  125.3 of this subchapter for the
export of technical data relating to the proposed sale or agreement to the
country concerned.
(iii) A temporary export license issued under  123.5 of this subchapter
relating to the proposed sale or agreement for a demonstration to the armed
forces of the country of export.
(iv) With respect to manufacturing license agreements or technical assistance
agreements, the application for export licenses pursuant to the two preceding
subparagraphs must state that they are related to possible agreements of this
kind.
(2) The requirement of this section for prior notification is met by
informing the Office of Defense Trade Controls by letter at least 30 days before
making the proposal or presentation. The letter must comply with the procedures
set forth in paragraph (d) of this section and must identify the relevant
license, approval, or FMS case by which the identical equipment had previously
been authorized for permanent export or sale. The Office of Defense Trade
Controls will provide written acknowledgement of such prior notification to
confirm compliance with this requirement and the commencement of the 30-day
notification period.
(d) Procedures. Unless a license has been obtained pursuant to  126.8(c)(1)
(ii) or (iii), a request for prior approval to make a proposal or presentation
with respect to significant military equipment, or a 30-day prior notification
regarding the sale of such equipment, must be made by letter to the Office of
Defense Trade Controls. The letter must outline in detail the intended
transaction, including usage of the equipment involved and the country (or
countries) involved. Seven copies of the letter should be provided as well as
seven copies of suitable descriptive information concerning the equipment.
(e) Statement to accompany licensing requests. (1) Every application for an
export license or other approval to implement a sale or agreement which meets
the criteria specified in paragraph (a) of this section must be accompanied by a
statement from the applicant which either:
(i) Refers to a specific notification made or approval previously granted
with respect to the transaction; or
(ii) Certifies that no proposal or presentation requiring prior notification
or approval has been made.
(2) The Department of State may require a similar statement from the Foreign
Military Sales contractor concerned in any case where the United States
Government receives a request for a letter of offer for a sale which meets the
criteria specified in paragraph (a) of this section.
(f) Penalties. In addition to other remedies and penalties prescribed by law
or this subchapter, a failure to satisfy the prior approval or prior
notification requirements of this section may be considered to be a reason for
disapproval of a license, agreement or sale under the FMS program.
(g) License for technical data. Nothing in this section constitutes or is to
be construed as an exemption from the licensing requirement for the export of
technical data that is embodied in any proposal or presentation made to any
foreign persons.
 126.9 -- Advisory opinions.
Any person desiring information as to whether the Office of Defense Trade
Controls would be likely to grant a license or other approval for the export of
a particular defense article or defense service to a particular country may
request an advisory opinion from the Office of Defense Trade Controls. These
opinions are not binding on the Department of State and are revocable. A request
for an advisory opinion must be made in writing and must outline in detail the
equipment, its usage, the security classification (if any) of the articles or
related technical data, and the country or countries involved. An original and
seven copies of the letter must be provided along with seven copies of suitable
descriptive information concerning the defense article or defense service.
[*39316]
 126.10 -- Disclosure of information.
(a) Freedom of Information. Subchapter R of this title contains regulations
on the availability to the public of information and records of the Department
of State. The provisions of subchapter R apply to such disclosures by the Office
of Defense Trade Controls.
(b) Determinations required by law. Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act
(22 U.S.C. 2778) provides that certain information required by the Department of
State in connection with the licensing process may generally not be disclosed to
the public unless certain determinations relating to the national interest are
made in accordance with the procedures specified by that provision.
Determinations required by section 38(e) shall be made by the Assistant
Secretary of State for Politico-Military Affairs.
(c) Information required under part 130. Part 130 of this subchapter contains
specific provisions on the disclosure of information described in that part.
(d) National Interest Determinations. In accordance with section 38(e) of the
Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778(e)), the Secretary of State has
determined that the following disclosures are in the national interest of the
United States:
(1) Furnishing information to foreign governments for law enforcement or
regulatory purposes; and
(2) Furnishing information to foreign governments and other agencies of the
U.S. Government in the context of multilateral or bilateral export regimes
(e.g., the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Australia Group, and CoCoM).
 126.11 -- Relations to other provisions of law.
The provisions in this subchapter are in addition to, and are not in lieu of,
any other provisions of law or regulations. The sale of firearms in the United
States, for example, remains subject to the provisions of the Gun Control Act of
1968 and regulations administered by the Department of the Treasury. The
performance of defense services on behalf of foreign governments by retired
military personnel continues to require consent pursuant to Part 3a of this
title. Persons who intend to export defense articles or furnish defense services
should consequently not assume that satisfying the requirements of this
subchapter relieves one of other requirements of law.
 126.12 -- Continuation in force.
All determinations, authorizations, licenses, approvals of contracts and
agreements and other action issued, authorized, undertaken, or entered into by
the Department of State pursuant to section 414 of the Mutual Security Act of
1954, as amended, or under the previous provisions of this subchapter, continue
in full force and effect until or unless modified, revoked or superseded by the
Department of State.
 126.13 -- Required information.
(a) All applications for licenses (DSP-5, DSP-61, DSP-73, and DSP-85), all
requests for approval of agreements and amendments thereto under part 124 of
this subchapter, all requests for other written authorizations, and all 30-day
prior notifications of sales of significant military equipment under  126.8(c)
must include a letter signed by a responsible official empowered by the
applicant and addressed to the Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls,
stating whether:
(1) The applicant or the chief executive officer, president, vice-presidents,
other senior officers or officials (e.g., comptroller, treasurer, general
counsel) or any member of the board of directors is the subject of an indictment
for or has been convicted of violating any of the U.S. criminal statutes
enumerated in  120.27 of this subchapter since the effective date of the Arms
Export Control Act, Public Law 94-329, 90 Stat. 729 (June 30, 1976);
(2) The applicant or the chief executive officer, president, vice-presidents,
other senior officers or officials (e.g., comptroller, treasurer, general
counsel) or any member of the board of directors is ineligible to contract with,
or to receive a license or other approval to import defense articles or defense
services from, or to receive an export license or other approval from, any
agency of the U.S. Government;
(3) To the best of the applicant's knowledge, any party to the export as
defined in  126.7(e) has been convicted of violating any of the U.S. criminal
statutes enumerated in  120.27 of this subchapter since the effective date of
the Arms Export Control Act, Public Law 94-329, 90 Stat. 729 (June 30, 1976), or
is ineligible to contract with, or to receive a license or other approval to
import defense articles or defense services from, or to receive an export
license or other approval from any agency of the U.S. government; and
(4) The natural person signing the application, notification or other request
for approval (including the statement required by this subsection) is a citizen
or national of the United States, has been lawfully admitted to the United
States for permanent residence (and maintains such a residence) under the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1101(a), section 101(a)20,
60 Stat. 163), or is an official of a foreign government entity in the United
States.
(b) In addition, all applications for licenses must include, on the
application or an addendum sheet, the complete names and addresses of all U.S.
consignors and freight forwarders, and all foreign consignees and foreign
intermediate consignees involved in the transaction. If there are multiple
consignors, consignees or freight forwarders, and all the required information
cannot be included on the application form, an addendum sheet and seven copies
containing this information must be provided. The addendum sheet must be marked
at the top as follows: "Attachment to Department of State License From (insert
DSP-5, 61, 73, or 85, as appropriate) for Export of (insert commodity) valued at
(insert U.S. dollar amount) to (insert country of ultimate destination)." The
Office of Defense Trade Controls will impress one copy of the addendum sheet
with the Department of State seal and return it to the applicant with each
license. The sealed addendum sheet must remain attached to the license as an
integral part thereof. District Directors of Customs and Department of Defense
transmittal authorities will permit only those U.S. consignors or freight
forwarders listed on the license or sealed addendum sheet to make shipments
under the license, and only to those foreign consignees named on the documents.
Applicants should list all freight forwarders who may be involved with shipments
under the license to ensure that the list is complete and to avoid the need for
amendments to the list after the license has been approved. If there are unusual
or extraordinary circumstances that preclude the specific identification of all
the U.S. consignors and freight forwarders and all foreign consignees, the
applicant must provide a letter of explanation with each application.
(c) In cases when foreign nationals are employed at or assigned to security-
cleared facilities, provision by the applicant of a Technology Control Plan
(available from the Defense Investigative Service) will facilitate processing.

 127.1 -- Violations.
(a) It is unlawful:
(1) To export or attempt to export from the United States any defense article
or technical data or to furnish any defense service for which a license or
written approval is required by this subchapter without first obtaining the
required license or written approval from the Office of Defense Trade Controls;
(2) To import or attempt to import any defense article whenever a license is
required by this subchapter without first obtaining the required license or
written approval from the Office of Defense Trade Controls;
(3) To conspire to export, import, reexport or cause to be exported, imported

license or written approval is required by this subchapter without first
obtaining the required license or written approval from the Office of Defense
Trade Controls; or
(4) To violate any of the terms or conditions of licenses or approvals
granted pursuant to this subchapter.
(b) Any person who is granted a license or other approval under this
subchapter is responsible for the acts of employees, agents, and all authorized
persons to whom possession of the licensed defense article or technical data has
been entrusted regarding the operation, use, possession, transportation, and
handling of such defense article or technical data abroad. All persons abroad
subject to U.S. jurisdiction who obtain temporary custody of a defense article
exported from the United States or produced under an agreement described in part
124 of this subchapter, and irrespective of the number of intermediate
transfers, are bound by the regulations of this subchapter in the same manner
and to the same extent as the original owner or transferer.
(c) A person with knowledge that another person is then ineligible pursuant
to  120.1(c) of this subchapter or 126.7 of this chapter, is then subject to
an order of debarment, or interim suspension, may not, directly or indirectly,
in any manner or capacity, without prior disclosure of the facts to, and written
authorization from, the Office of Defense Trade Controls:
(1) Apply for, obtain, or use any export control document as defined in 
127.2(b) for such debarred, suspended, or ineligible person; or
(2) Order, buy, receive, use, sell, deliver, store, dispose of, forward,
transport, finance, or otherwise service or participate in any transaction which
may involve any defense article or the furnishing of any defense service for
which a license or approval is required by this subchapter for export, where
such debarred, suspended, or ineligible person may obtain any benefit therefrom
or have any direct or indirect interest therein.
(d) No person may willfully cause, or aid, abet, counsel, demand, induce,
procure or permit the commission of any act prohibited by, or the omission of
any act required by 22 U.S.C. 2778, 22 U.S.C. 2779, or any regulation, license,
approval, or order issued thereunder.
 127.2 -- Misrepresentation and omission of facts.
(a) It is unlawful to use any export or temporary import control document
containing a false statement or misrepresenting or omitting a material fact for
the purpose of exporting any defense article or technical data or the furnishing
of any defense service for which a license or approval is required by this
subchapter. Any false statement, misrepresentation, or omission of material fact
in an export or temporary import control document will be considered as made in
a matter within the jurisdiction of a department or agency of the United States
for the purposes of 18 U.S.C. 1001, 22 U.S.C. 2778 and 22 U.S.C. 2779.
(b) For the purpose of this section, export or temporary import control
documents include the following:
(1) An application for a permanent export or a temporary import license and
supporting documents.
(2) Shipper's Export Declaration.
(3) Invoice.
(4) Declaration of destination.
(5) Delivery verification.
(6) Application for temporary export.
(7) Application for registration.
(8) Purchase order.
(9) Foreign import certificate.
(10) Bill-of-lading.
(11) Airway bill.
(12) Nontransfer and use certificate.
(13) Any other document used in the regulation or control of a defense
article, defense service or technical data for which a license or approval is
required by this subchapter.
 127.3 -- Penalties for violations.
Any person who willfully:
(a) Violates any provision of section 38 or section 39 of the Arms Export
Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 and 2779), or any undertaking specifically required
by part 124 of this subchapter; or
(b) In a registration, license application or report required by section 38
or section 39 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2278 and 2779) or by any
rule or regulation issued under either section, makes any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, shall, upon conviction,
be subject to a fine or imprisonment, or both, as prescribed by 22 U.S.C.
2778(c).
 127.4 -- Authority of U.S. Customs Service officers.
(a) U.S. Customs Service officers may take appropriate action to ensure
observance of this subchapter as to the export or the attempted export of any
defense article or technical data, including the inspection of loading or
unloading of any vessel, vehicle, or aircraft. This applies whether the export
is authorized by license or by written approval issued under this subchapter.
(b) U.S. Customs Service officers have the authority to investigate, detain
or seize any export or attempted export of defense articles or technical data
contrary to this subchapter.
(c) Upon the presentation to a Customs Officer of a license or written
approval authorizing the export of any defense article, the customs officer may
require the production of other relevant documents and information relating to
the proposed export. This includes an invoice, order, packing list, shipping
document, correspondence, instructions, and the documents otherwise required by
the U.S. Customs Service.
 127.5 -- Authority of the Defense Investigative Service.
In the case of exports involving classified technical data or defense
articles, the Defense Investigative Service may take appropriate action to
ensure compliance with the Department of Defense Industrial Security Manual.
Upon a request to the Defense Investigative Service regarding the export of any
classified defense article or technical data, the Defense [*39318]
Investigative Service official or a designated government transmittal authority
may require the production of other relevant documents and information relating
to the proposed export.
 127.6 Seizure and forfeiture in attempts at illegal exports.
(a) An attempt to export from the United States any defense articles in
violation of the provisions of this subchapter constitutes an offense punishable
under section 401 of title 22 of the United States Code. Whenever it is known or
there is probable cause to believe that any defense article is intended to be or
is being or has been exported or removed from the United States in violation of
law, such article and any vessel, vehicle or aircraft involved in such attempt
is subject to seizure, forfeiture and disposition as provided in section 401 of
title 22 of the United States Code.
(b) Similarly, an attempt to violate any of the conditions under which a
temporary export or temporary import license was issued pursuant to this
subchapter or to violate the requirements of  123.2 of this subchapter also
constitutes an offense punishable under section 401 of Title 22 of the United
States Code, and such article, together with any vessel, vehicle or aircraft
involved in any such attempt is subject to seizure, forfeiture, and disposition
as provided in section 401 of title 22 of the United States Code.
 127.7 -- Debarment.
(a) In implementing section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act, the Assistant
Secretary of State for Politico-Military Affairs may prohibit any person from
participating directly or indirectly in the export of defense articles,
including technical data or in the furnishing of defense services for which a
license or approval is required by this subchapter for any of the reasons listed
below. Any such prohibition is referred to as a debarment for purposes of this
subchapter. The Assistant Secretary of State for Politico-Military Affairs shall
determine the appropriate period of time for debarment, which shall generally be
for a period of three years.
(b) Grounds. (1) The basis for a statutory debarment, as described in
paragraph (c) of this section, is any conviction for violating the Arms Export
Control Act (see  127.3 of this subchapter) or any conspiracy to violate the
Arms Export Control Act.
(2) The basis for administrative debarment, described in part 128 of this
subchapter, is any violation of 22 U.S.C. 2778 or any rule or regulation issued
thereunder when such a violation is of such a character as to provide a
reasonable basis for the Office of Defense Trade Controls to believe that the
violator cannot be relied upon to comply with the statute or these rules or
regulations in the future, and when such violation is established in accordance
with part 128 of this subchapter.
(c) Statutory Debarment. Section 38(g)(4) of the Arms Export Control Act
prohibits the issuance of licenses to persons who have been convicted of
violating the U.S. criminal statutes enumerated in  120.27 of this subchapter.
Discretionary authority to issue licenses is provided, but only if certain
statutory requirements are met. It is the policy of the Department of State not
to consider applications for licenses or requests for approvals involving any
person who has been convicted of violating the Arms Export Control Act or
convicted of conspiracy to violate that Act for a three year period following
pursuant to this policy. A list of persons who have been convicted of such
offenses and debarred for this reason shall be published periodically in the
Federal Register. Debarment in such cases is based solely upon the outcome of a
criminal proceeding, conducted by a court of the United States, that established
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in accordance with due process. The procedures
of part 128 of this subchapter are not applicable in such cases.
(d) Appeals. Any person who is ineligible pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
section may appeal to the Under Secretary of State for International Security
Affairs for reconsideration of the ineligibility determination. The procedures
specified in  128.13 of this subchapter are applicable in such appeals.
 127.8 -- Interim suspension.
(a) The Director of the Office of Defense Trade Controls is authorized to
order the interim suspension of any person when the Director believes that
grounds for debarment (as defined in  127.6 of this part) exist and where and
to the extent the Director finds that interim suspension is reasonably necessary
to protect world peace or the security or foreign policy of the United States.
The interim suspension orders prohibit that person from participating directly
or indirectly in the export of any defense article or defense service for which
a license or approval is required by this subchapter. The suspended person shall
be notified in writing as provided in  127.6(c) of this part (statutory
debarment) or  128.3 of this subchapter (administrative debarment), whichever
is appropriate. In both cases, a copy of the interim suspension order will be
served upon that person in the same manner as provided in  128.3 of this
subchapter. The interim suspension order may be made immediately effective,
without prior notice. The order will state the relevant facts, the grounds for
issuance of the order, and describe the nature and duration of the interim
suspension. No person may be suspended for a period exceeding 60 days unless
proceedings under  127.6(c) of this part or under part 128 of this subchapter,
or criminal proceedings, are initiated before the expiration of that period.
(b) A motion or petition to vacate or modify an interim suspension order may
be filed at any time with the Under Secretary of State for International
Security Affairs. After a final decision is reached, the Director of the Office
of Defense Trade Controls will issue an appropriate order disposing of the
motion or petition and will promptly inform the respondent accordingly.
 127.9 -- Applicability of orders.
For the purpose of preventing evasion, orders of the Assistant Secretary of
State for Politico-Military Affairs, debarring a person under  127.6 and orders
of the Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls, suspending a person under 
127.7 may be made applicable to any other person who may then or thereafter
(during the term of the order) be related to the debarred person by affiliation,
ownership, control, position of responsibility, or other commercial connection.
Appropriate notice and opportunity to respond to charges will be given.
 127.10 -- Civil penalty.
(a) The Assistant Secretary of State for Politico-Military Affairs,
Department of State, is authorized to impose a civil penalty in an amount not to
exceed that authorized by 50 U.S.C. App. 2410(c) for each violation of 22 U.S.C.
2778, or any regulation, order, license or approval issued thereunder. This
civil penalty may be either in addition to, or in lieu of, any other liability
or penalty which may be imposed.
(b) The Office of Defense Trade Controls may make:
(1) The payment of a civil penalty under this section or
(2) The completion of any administrative action pursuant to this part 127 or
128 of this subchapter a prior condition for the issuance, restoration, or
continuing validity of any export license or other approval. [*39319]
 127.11 -- Past violations.
(a) Pursuant to section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act, licenses or other
approvals may not be granted to persons who have been convicted of violating any
of the U.S. criminal statutes enumerated in  120.27 of this subchapter or who
are ineligible to receive any export licenses from any agency of the U.S.
government, subject to a narrowly defined statutory exception. This provision
establishes a presumption of denial for licenses or other approvals involving
such persons. This presumption is applied by the Office of Defense Trade
Controls to all persons convicted or deemed ineligible in this manner since the
effective date of the Arms Export Control Act (Pub. L. 94-329; 90 Stat. 729)
(June 30, 1976).
(b) Policy. An exception to the policy of the Department of State to deny
applications for licenses or other approvals that involve persons described in
paragraph (a) of this section shall not be considered unless there are
extraordinary circumstances surrounding the conviction or ineligibility to
export, and only if the applicant demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the
Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs, that the applicant has taken appropriate
steps to mitigate any law enforcement and other legitimate concerns, and to deal
with the causes that resulted in the conviction, ineligibility, or debarment.
Any person described in paragraph (a) of this section who wishes to request
consideration of any application must explain, in a letter to the Director,
Office of Defense Trade Controls, the reasons why the application should be
considered. If the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs concludes that the
application and written explanation have sufficient merit, it shall consult with
the Office of the Legal Adviser and the Department of the Treasury regarding law
enforcement concerns, and may also request the views of other departments,
including the Department of Justice. If the Office of Defense Trade Controls
does grant the license or other approval, subsequent applications from the same
person need not repeat the information previously provided but should instead
refer to the favorable decision.
(c) Debarred persons. Persons debarred pursuant to  127.6(c) (statutory
debarment) may not utilize the procedures provided by this section while the
debarment is in force. Such persons may utilize only the procedures provided by
 127.7(d) of this part.
 127.12 -- Voluntary Disclosures.
(a) General policy. The Department strongly encourages the disclosure of
information to the Office of Defense Trade Controls by persons, firms or any
organization that believe they may have violated any export control provision of
the Arms Export Control Act, or any regulations, order, license, or other
authorization issued under the Arms Export Control Act. Voluntary self-
disclosure may be considered a mitigating factor in determining the
administrative penalties, if any, that should be imposed by the Department.
Failure to report such violation(s) may result in circumstances detrimental to
U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.
(b) Limitations. (1) The provisions of this section apply only when
information is provided to the Office of Defense Trade Controls for its review
in determining whether to take administrative action under part 128 of this
subchapter concerning violation(s) of the export control provisions of the Arms
Export Control Act and these regulations.
(2) The provisions of this section apply only when information is received by
the Office of Defense Trade Controls for review prior to such time that either
the Department of State or any other agency, bureau or department of the United
States Government obtains knowledge of either the same or substantially similar
information from another source and commenced an investigation or inquiry that
involves that information, and that is intended to determine whether the Arms
Export Control Act or these regulations, or any other license, order or other
authorization issued under the Arms Export Control Act has been violated.
(3) It is possible that the activity in question-despite voluntary
disclosure-might merit penalties, administrative actions, sanctions, or
referrals to the Department of Justice for consideration as to whether criminal
prosecution is warranted. In the latter case, the Office of Defense Trade
Controls will notify the Department of Justice of the voluntary nature of the
disclosure although the Department of Justice is not required to give that fact
any weight. The Office of Defense Trade Controls has the sole discretion to
consider whether "voluntary disclosure," in context with other relevant
information in a particular case, should be a mitigating factor in determining
what, if any, administrative action will be imposed. Some of the mitigating
factors the Office of Defense Trade Controls may consider are:
(i) Whether the transaction would have been authorized had proper application
been made;
(ii) Why the violation(s) occurred;
(iii) The degree of cooperation with the ensuing investigation;
(iv) Whether the person or firm has instituted or improved an internal
compliance program to reduce the likelihood of future violation(s);
(v) Whether the person making the disclosure did so with the full knowledge
and authorization of the firm's senior management. (If not, then a firm will not
be deemed to have made a disclosure as covered in this section.)
(4) The provisions of this section do not, nor should they be relied on, to
create, confer, or grant any rights, benefits, privileges, or protection
enforceable at law or in equity by any person, business, or entity in any civil,
criminal, administrative, or other matter.
(c) Notification. (1) Any person or firm wanting to disclose information that
constitutes a voluntary self-disclosure should, in the manner outlined below,
initially notify the Office of Defense Trade Controls as soon as possible after
violation(s) are discovered and then conduct a thorough review of all export-
related transactions where violation(s) are suspected.
(2) Notification of violation(s) must be in writing and should include the
following information:
(i) A precise description of the nature and extent of the violation(s) (e.g.,
an unauthorized shipment, doing business with a party denied U.S. export
privileges, etc.);
(ii) The exact circumstances surrounding the violation(s) (a thorough
explanation of why, when, where, and how the violation(s) occurred);
(iii) The complete identities and addresses of all individuals and
organizations, whether foreign or domestic, involved in the activities giving
rise to the violation(s);
(iv) Export license numbers, if applicable;
(v) U.S. Munitions List category and subcategory, product descriptions,
quantities, and characteristics of the commodities or technical data involved;
(vi) A description of any corrective actions already undertaken;
(vii) The name and address of the person(s) making the disclosure and a point
of contact, if different, should further information be needed.
(3) Factors to be considered include, for example, whether the violation(s)
were intentional or inadvertent; the degree to which the person or firm
responsible for the violation(s) making the disclosure was familiar with the
[*39320] laws and regulations; and whether the violator was the subject of
prior administrative or criminal action under the AECA. In addition to
immediately providing written notification, persons, firms, companies and
organizations are strongly urged to conduct a thorough review of all export-
related transactions where possible violation(s) are suspected.
(d) Documentation. (1) The written disclosure should be accompanied by copies
of those documents that substantiate it. Where appropriate, the documentation
should include, but is not limited to:
(i) Licensing documents (e.g., license applications, export licenses and end-
user statements);
(ii) Shipping documents (e.g., shipper's export declarations, airway bills
and bills of lading);
(iii) Any other relevant documents must be retained by the person making the
disclosure until the Office of Defense Trade Controls requests them or until a
final decision on the disclosed information has been made.
(e) Certification. A certification must be submitted stating that all of the
representations made in connection with the voluntary self-disclosure are true
and correct to the best of that person's knowledge and belief. Certifications
made by a firm, corporation or any other organization should be executed by
someone with the authority to do so.
(f) Oral presentations. It is generally not necessary to augment the written
presentation with an oral presentation. However, if the person making the
disclosure believes a meeting is desirable, a request for one should be included
with the written presentation.
(g) Voluntary disclosures should be sent to:
Compliance Analysis Division, PM/DTC, SA-6, room 200, Office of Defense Trade
Controls, Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs, U.S. Department of State,
Washington, DC 20522-0602.

and export of defense articles and services in furtherance of world peace and
the security and foreign policy of the United States. It authorizes the
Secretary of State to make decisions on whether licenses shall be granted, as
well as to revoke, suspend or amend licenses whenever the Secretary deems such
action to be advisable. The administration of the Arms Export Control Act is a
foreign affairs function and is thus encompassed within the meaning of the
military and foreign affairs exclusion of the Administrative Procedure Act and
is thereby expressly exempt from various provisions of that Act. Because the
exercising of the foreign affairs function, including the decisions required to
implement the Arms Export Control Act, is highly discretionary, it is excluded
from review under the Administrative Procedure Act.
 128.2 -- Presiding Official.
The Presiding Official referred to in this part is the Presiding Official of
the International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce, as
provided in 15 CFR 388.2. The Presiding Official is authorized to exercise the

known address; or when left with the respondent or the agent or employee of the
respondent; or when left at the respondent's dwelling with some person of
suitable age and discretion then residing herein; or
(2) If the respondent is a non-resident of the United States, when served

understanding between the United States Government and the government of the
country wherein the respondent resident permitting this action.
 128.4 -- Default.

recommendation. The Presiding Official will consider the application and may
order a hearing and require the respondent to submit further evidence [*39321]
in support of his or her petition. The filing of a petition to set aside a
default does not in any manner affect an order entered upon default and such
order continues in full force and effect unless a further order is made
modifying or terminating it.

(a) and (b) of this section must respond fully to each subdivision of those
paragraphs and, where the correct response is none or not applicable," must so
state.
 130.11 -- Supplementary reports.
(a) Every applicant or supplier who is required under  130.9 to furnish the
information specified in  130.10 must submit a supplementary report in
connection with each sale in respect of which applicant or supplier has
previously been required to furnish information if:
(1) Any political contributions aggregating $ 2,500 or more or fees or
commissions aggregating $ 50,000 or more not previously reported or paid, or
offered or agreed to be paid by applicant or supplier or any vendor;
(2) Subsequent developments cause the information initially reported to be no
longer accurate or complete (as in the case where a payment actually made is
substantially different in amount from a previously reported estimate of an
amount offered or agreed to be paid); or
(3) Additional details are requested by the Office of Defense Trade Controls
with respect to any miscellaneous payments reported under  130.10(c).
(b) Supplementary reports must be sent to the Office of Defense Trade
Controls within 30 days after the payment, offer or agreement reported therein
or, when requested by the Office of Defense Trade Controls, within 30 days after
such request, and must include:
(1) Any information specified in  130.10 required or requested to be
reported and which was not previously reported; and
(2) The Defense Trade Control license number, if any, and the Department or
Defense contract number, if any, related to the sale.
 130.12 -- Information to be furnished by vendor to applicant or supplier.
(a) In order to determine whether it is obliged under  130.9 to furnish the
information specified in  130.10 with respect to a sale, every applicant or
supplier must obtain from each vendor, from or through whom the applicant
acquired defense articles or defense services forming the whole or a part of the
sale, a full disclosure by the vendor of all political contributions or fees or
commission paid, by vendor with respect to such sale. Such disclosure must
include responses to all the information pertaining to vendor required to enable
applicant or supplier, as the case may be, to comply fully with  130.9 and
130.10. If so required, they must include the information furnished by each
vendor in providing the information specified.
(b) Any vendor which has been requested by an applicant or supplier to
furnish an initial statement under paragraph (a) of this section must, except as
provided in paragraph (c) of this section, furnish such statement in a timely
manner and not later than 20 days after receipt of such request.
(c) If the vendor believes that furnishing information to an applicant or
supplier in a requested statement would unreasonably risk injury to the vendor's
commercial interests, the vendor may furnish in lieu of the statement an
abbreviated statement disclosing only the aggregate amount of all political
contributions and the aggregate amount of all fees or commissions which have
been paid, or offered or agreed to be paid, or offered or agreed to be paid, by
the vendor with respect to the sale. Any abbreviated statement furnished to an
applicant or supplier under this paragraph must be accompanied by a
certification that the requested information has been reported by the vendor
directly to the Office of Defense Trade Controls. The vendor must simultaneously
report fully to the Office of Defense Trade Controls all information which the
vendor would otherwise have been required to report to the applicant or supplier
under this section. Each such report must clearly identify the sale with respect
to which the reported information pertains.
(d)(1) If upon the 25th day after the date of its request to vendor, an
applicant or supplier has not received from the vendor the initial statement
required by paragraph (a) of this section, the applicant or supplier must submit
to the Office of Defense Trade Controls a signed statement attesting to:
(i) The manner and extent of applicant's or supplier's attempt to obtain from
the vendor the initial statement required under paragraph (a) of this section;
(ii) Vendor's failure to comply with this section; and
(iii) The amount of time which has elapsed between the date of applicant's or
supplier's request and the date of the signed statement;
(2) The failure of a vendor to comply with this section does not relieve any
applicant or supplier otherwise required by  130.9 to submit a report to the
Office of Defense Trade Controls from submitting such a report.
 130.13 -- Information to be furnished to applicant, supplier or vendor by a
recipient of a fee or commission.
(a) Every applicant or supplier, and each vendor thereof;
(1) In order to determine whether it is obliged under  130.9 or  130.12 to
furnish information specified in  130.10 with respect to a sale; and
(2) Prior to furnishing such information, must obtain from each person, if
any, to whom it has paid, or offered or agreed to pay, a fee or commission in
respect of such sale, a timely statement containing a full disclosure by such a
person of all political contributions paid, or offered or agreed to be paid, by
it or on its behalf, or at its direction, in respect of such sale. Such
disclosure must include responses to all the information required to enable the
applicant, supplier or vendor, as the case may be, to comply fully with 
130.9, 130.10, and 130.12.
(b) In obtaining information under paragraph (a) of this section, the
applicant, supplier or vendor, as the case may be, must also require each person
to whom a fee or commission is paid, or offered or agreed to be paid, to furnish
from time to time such reports of its political contributions as may be
necessary to enable the applicant, supplier or vendor, as the case may be,
[*39326] to comply fully with  130.9, 130.10, 130.11, and 130.12.
(c) The applicant supplier or vendor, as the case may be, must include any
political contributions paid, or offered or agreed to be paid, by or on behalf
of, or at the direction of, any person to whom it has paid, or offered or agreed
to pay a fee or commission in determining whether applicant, supplier or vendor
is required by  130.9, 130.11, and 130.12 to furnish information specified in
 130.10.
 130.14 -- Recordkeeping.
Each applicant, supplier and vendor must maintain a record of any information
it was required to furnish or obtain under this part and all records upon which
its reports are based for a period of not less than five years following the
date of the report to which they pertain.
 130.15 -- Confidential business information.
(a) Any person who is required to furnish information under this part may
identify any information furnished hereunder which the person considers to be
confidential business information. No person, including any applicant or
supplier, shall publish, divulge, disclose, or make known in any manner, any
information so identified by a vendor or other person unless authorized by law
or regulation.
(b) For purposes of this section, confidential business information means
commercial or financial information which by law is entitled to protection from
disclosure. (See, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b) (3) and (4); 18 U.S.C. 1905; 22 U.S.C.
2778(e); Rule 26(c)(7), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.)
 130.16 -- Other reporting requirements.
The submission of reports under this part does not relieve any person of any
requirements to furnish information to any federal, state, or municipal agency,
department or other instrumentality as required by law, regulation or contract.
 130.17 -- Utilization of and access to reports and records.
(a) All information reported and records maintained under this part will be
made available, upon request for utilization by standing committees of the
Congress and subcommittees thereof, and by United States Government agencies, in
accordance with section 39(d) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2779(d)), and reports based upon such information will be submitted to Congress
in accordance with sections 36(a)(8) and 36(b)(1) of that Act (22 U.S.C. 2776
(a)(8) and (b)(1)).
(b) All confidential business information provided pursuant to this part
shall be protected against disclosure to the extent provided by law.
(c) Nothing in this section shall preclude the furnishing of information to
foreign governments for law enforcement or regulatory purposes under
international arrangements between the United States and any foreign government.
