According to a November 18 Federal Register notice, the U.S. Department of State’s Defense Trade Advisory Group will meet on December 4 to discuss reforms to broker reporting requirements and re-export controls.
The Defense Trade Advisory Group (“DTAG”) will analyze alternatives to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) broker reports and review policies affecting the joint production and re-export of defense articles.
The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) requests DTAG to submit a preliminary analysis for a multi-phase review of ‘production diplomacy’ focusing on barriers, inefficiencies and opportunities in co-production, co-development and sustainment of defense items,” the notice reads .
The virtual meeting will also discuss improvements to DDTC’s FAQ guidance and examine “challenges faced by U.S. and non-U.S. industries in obtaining re-export approvals.”
Private Sector Advisory Council members appointed by the Assistant Secretary for Political-Military Affairs must register for the meeting by December 2.
