Directorate of Defense Trade Controls Publishes ITAR Amendments in Today's Federal Register
The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) today published a final rule in today's Federal Register containing several amendments to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Most of the ITAR amendments are technical in nature, such as adding some new definitions, changing the term Office of Defense Trade Controls to Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and amending the definition of District Director of Customs to reflect the change in title to Port Director of U.S. Custom and Border Protection.
However, the final rule contains some important changes to the ITAR that should be closely reviewed. Such changes include revisions to section 122.3, which now requires registration renewals to be submitted 30 days prior to the expiration date, and section 122.5, which make significant additions to the recordkeeping provisions as they relate to maintenance of electronic records. The complete text of the final rule can be viewed at the following link: http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/
