Abstract of Proposed Collection
The export, temporary import, and brokering of defense articles,
including technical data, and defense services are authorized by the
Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Directorate
of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) in accordance with the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations (``ITAR,'' 22 CFR parts 120-130) and
section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA). Any person who
engages in the United States in the business of manufacturing,
brokering, exporting, or temporarily importing defense articles,
including technical data, or furnishing defense services must register
with the Department of State. Manufacturers who do not engage in
exporting must nevertheless register. Additionally, any person who
intends to export or to import temporarily a defense article must
obtain the approval from DDTC prior to the export or temporary import,
unless the export or temporary import qualifies for an exemption. The
applicant must be registered with DDTC prior to submitting an
application or using an exemption. Also, registered brokers must submit
annual reports regarding all brokering activities that were transacted,
and registered manufacturers and exporters must maintain records of
defense trade activities for five years.
1405-0003, Application/License for Permanent Export of Unclassified
Defense Articles and Related Unclassified Technical Data: In accordance
with part 123 of the ITAR, any person who intends to permanently export
unclassified defense articles or unclassified technical data must
obtain DDTC approval prior to export. The ``Application/License for
Permanent Export of Unclassified Defense Articles and Related
Unclassified Technical Data'' (Form DSP-5) is the licensing vehicle
typically used to obtain permission for the permanent export of
unclassified defense articles, including unclassified technical data
covered by the U.S. Munitions List (USML). This form is an application
that, when approved, signed and dated by an official of DDTC, serves as
the applicant's authorization for the permanent export of unclassified
USML articles.
1405-0013, Application/License for Temporary Import of Unclassified
Defense Articles: In accordance with part 123 of the ITAR, any person
who intends to temporarily import unclassified defense articles must
obtain DDTC authorization prior to import. The ``Application/License
for Temporary Import of Unclassified Defense Articles'' (Form DSP-61)
is the licensing vehicle typically used to obtain permission for the
temporary import of unclassified defense articles covered by the USML.
This form is an application that, when completed and approved by DDTC,
it constitutes the official record and authorization for the temporary
commercial import of unclassified USML articles, pursuant to the AECA
and the ITAR.
1405-0023, Application/License for Temporary Export of Unclassified
Defense Articles: In accordance with part 123 of the ITAR, any person
who intends to temporarily export unclassified defense articles must
obtain authorization from DDTC prior to export. The ``Application/
License for Temporary Export of Unclassified Defense Articles'' (Form
DSP-73) is the licensing vehicle typically used to obtain permission
for the temporary export of unclassified defense articles covered by
the USML. This form is an application that, when completed and approved
by DDTC, it constitutes the official record and authorization for the
temporary commercial export of unclassified USML articles, pursuant to
the AECA and the ITAR.
[[Page 37275]]
1405-0092, Application for Amendment to License for Export or
Import of Unclassified Defense Articles and Related Unclassified
Technical Data: In accordance with part 123 of the ITAR, any person who
intends to permanently export, temporarily import, or temporarily
export unclassified or classified defense articles or related technical
data must obtain DDTC authorization. This information collection is
used by private industry to make changes in an approved Form DSP-5,
Form DSP-61, or Form DSP-73. Upon approval, the amendment form along
with the original license constitutes the authority to export or
temporarily import.
Methodology
This information collection may be sent to DDTC via the following
methods: electronically or by mail.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Defense Trade Controls, U.S. Department
of State.
