DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice: 12349]
Defense Trade Advisory Group; Notice of Membership
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs
``the Bureau'' is accepting membership applications for the Defense
Trade Advisory Group (DTAG). The Bureau is interested in applications
from subject matter experts from the United States defense industry,
relevant trade and labor associations, and academic and foundation
personnel.
The DTAG was established as an advisory committee under the
authority of 22 U.S.C. 2656 and the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5
U.S.C. 1001 et seq. (``FACA''). The purpose of the DTAG is to provide
the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs with a formal channel for
regular consultation and coordination with U.S. private sector defense
exporters and defense trade specialists on issues involving U.S. laws,
policies, and regulations for exports of defense articles, including
technical data, and defense services. The DTAG advises the Bureau on
its support for and regulation of defense trade to help ensure that
impediments to legitimate exports are reduced while the foreign policy
and national security interests of the United States continue to be
protected and advanced in accordance with the Arms Export Control Act
(AECA), as amended. Major topics addressed by the DTAG include (a)
policy issues on defense trade and technology transfer; (b) regulatory
and licensing procedures applicable to defense articles, including
technical data, and defense services; (c) technical issues involving
the U.S. Munitions List (USML); and (d) questions related to the
implementation of the AECA and International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR).
Members are appointed by the Assistant Secretary of State for
Political-Military Affairs on the basis of individual qualifications
and technical expertise. Past members include representatives of the
U.S. defense industry, relevant trade and labor associations, and
academic and foundation personnel. In accordance with the DTAG Charter,
all DTAG members must be U.S. citizens. DTAG members are expected to
serve a consecutive two-year term, which may be renewed or terminated
at the discretion of the Assistant Secretary of State for Political-
Military Affairs. DTAG members are expected to represent the views of
their organizations, while also demonstrating an appreciation for the
Department's mission to ensure that commercial exports of defense
articles and defense services advance U.S. national security and
foreign policy objectives. DTAG members are expected to understand
complex issues related to defense trade and industrial competitiveness
and are expected to advise the Bureau on these matters.
DTAG members' responsibilities include:
<bullet> Making recommendations in accordance with the DTAG Charter
and the FACA.
<bullet> Making policy and technical recommendations within the
scope of the U.S. export control regime as set forth in the AECA, the
ITAR, and appropriate directives.
Please note that DTAG members may not be reimbursed for travel, per
diem, and other expenses incurred in connection with their duties as
DTAG members.

the following information: (1) Name of applicant; (2) affirmation of
U.S. citizenship; (3) organizational affiliation and title, as
