hybrid meeting will be held in person at 1777 F Street NW, Washington,
DC, with the option to attend virtually via Zoom. The virtual forum
will open at 12:15 p.m. The membership of this advisory committee
consists of private sector defense trade representatives, appointed by
the Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs, who
advise the Department on policies, regulations, and technical issues
affecting defense trade. The DTAG was established as an advisory
committee under the authority of 22 U.S.C. 2651a and 2656 and the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.
The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss current defense trade
issues and topics for further study. The Directorate of Defense Trade
Controls (DDTC) asked the DTAG to complete the following taskings,
which will be discussed and presented: (1) to review parts 123, 124,
sections of part 125 related to classified defense articles, and

redundancies, as well as recommendations for improvement; and (3)
assess and provide recommendations on improvements that could be made
to the process and associated guidance for name/address changes and
other administrative changes resulting from companies' internal
business decisions, to improve efficiency and reduce registration and
