The Directorate of Defense Trade
Controls (DDTC), Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, U.S.
Department of State, in accordance with the Arms Export Control Act
(AECA) (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) and the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR Parts 120-130), has the principal
missions of taking final action on license applications and other
requests for defense trade transactions. By statute, Executive
Order, regulation, and delegation of authority, Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls (DDTC)is charged with controlling the export
and temporary import of defense articles and provision of defense
services covered by the U.S. Munitions List. The statutory
authority of the President to promulgate regulations with respect
to the export and the temporary import of defense articles and the
provision of defense services was delegated to the Secretary of
State by Executive Order 11958, as amended. These regulations are
primarily administered by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
for Defense Trade and the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls,
Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. Section 126.18 eliminates,
subject to certain conditions, the requirement for an approval by
DDTC of the transfer of unclassified defense articles, which
includes technical data, within a foreign business entity, foreign
governmental entity, or international organization, that is an
approved or otherwise authorized end-user or consignee (including
transfers to approved sub-licensees) for those defense articles,
including the transfer to dual nationals or third-country nationals
who are bona fide regular employees, directly employed by the
foreign consignee or end-user.

The burden for this collection
has been adjusted from 100,000 respondents to 10,000 respondents
because the regulations require companies, not individuals, to
maintain records. Additionally, this record keeping requirement is
for maintenance of records that the Department of State has reason
to believe are already existent, and not for the creation of new
records. Therefore, the annual hourly burden has been adjusted from
1,000,000 hours to 100,000 hours.
