Sections 120.22 and 129.9 of the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR parts 120–
130) may be used to request an advisory
opinion or guidance on: whether DDTC
would likely grant a license or other
approval for the export of a particular
defense article or defense service to a
particular country (§ 120.22(a)); an
interpretation of the requirements set
forth in the regulations (§ 120.22(c));
whether an activity constitutes
brokering within the scope of part 129—
Registration and Licensing of Brokers
(§ 129.9(a)); or other guidance on other
aspects of part 129 (§ 129.9(c)). Except
for determinations made with reference
to ITAR § 129.9(a), advisory opinions
are not binding on the Department of
State and may not be used in future
matters before the Department.
Users electronically submit requests
for advisory opinions to DDTC via the
Defense Export Control and Compliance
System (DECCS) portal; users are able to
retrieve responses using this same
system. DDTC staff members have
defined the data fields which are most
relevant and necessary for requests for
advisory opinions and developed the
means to accept this information from
the industry in a secure system. The
revision of this information collection is
meant to conform the current OMBapproved data collection to DDTC’s new
case management system.
Methodology
This information will be collected by
electronic submission to the Directorate
of Defense Trade Controls.
