DDTC Will Temporily Suspend Processing of TAA's Submitted via D-Trade
The U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) has announced that effective Monday, August 16, 2004, the processing of Technical Assistance Agreements (TAA) via D-Trade, DDTC's electronic licensing system, will be temporarily suspended. DDTC has indicated that this action is being taken after a review of industry user comments. DDTC has also indicated that "the design and development of an electronic form that allows for processing of both Manufacturing License Agreements and Technical Assistance Agreements is well under way" and that the "new form includes features that will streamline industry submissions and will facilitate DDTC review." DDTC will issue a separate announcement once the new system is available. In the meantime, TAA cases now pending in D-Trade will continue to be processed by DDTC until final action is taken.
