Directorate of Defense Trade Controls Issues Announcement Regarding Jurisdiction over C-130 and L-100 Parts and Components
The State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) has announced that it will soon issue a notice in the Federal Register concerning the export jurisdiction of airframe parts and components common to the C-130 and L-100 aircraft.
DDTC has also stated that as a result of this recent commodity jurisdiction decision that U.S. exporters are advised that any airframe parts and components common to the C-130 (Models A through H) and L-100 aircraft that have no current use on any other commercial aircraft will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of State 90 days after the impending publication of the Federal Register notice. Until the publication of this notice, exporters can complete existing transactions under existing authorizations, but should apply to DDTC for the proper export approval for new or subsequent shipments.
The announcement statest that the change in jurisdiction applies only to the airframe parts and components common to the C-130 and L-100 and that DDTC is not asserting jurisdiction over the L-100 aircraft. Any systems employed on the L-100 that are specifically designed, modified, configured, or adapted for a military application remain subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of State. In addition, this determination does not apply to the parts and components for the C-130J model, as this aircraft differs from preceding models of the C-130 so as to be considered a separate military aircraft. All C-130J parts and components are ITAR-controlled.
