SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) asked the DTAG to
present its full analysis and recommendations on nos. 1 and 2 below and
provide its initial analysis on nos. 3 and 4: (1) DDTC requests that
DTAG analyze and recommend alternative brokering reporting approaches
that address all the reporting requirements under section 129.10(b) of
the ITAR, so that DDTC receives more accurate and consistent brokering
reports to expedite the review process. (2) DDTC requests that DTAG
review the format, construct, and organization of DDTC's current FAQs
and provide recommendations to improve their effectiveness, including
DDTC's communication of updates and modifications. (3) DDTC requests
that DTAG present an initial analysis for a multi-phased review of
``Production Diplomacy,'' focusing on barriers, inefficiencies, and
opportunities in co-production, co-development, and sustainment of
Defense Articles within laws, regulations, policies, and interagency
processes. (4) DDTC requests that DTAG present an initial analysis for
a multi-phased review, starting with an assessment of legal and
regulatory frameworks and policies impacting USG review and approval
for reexports and retransfers. The analysis should consider challenges
faced by both U.S. and non-U.S. industries, as well as other relevant
factors.
The meeting will be held in Zoom or WebEx. There will be one
virtual invitation for each attendee, and only the attendee should use
the invitation. In addition, each attendee should access the virtual
meeting from a private location. Please let us know if you need any of
the following accommodations: live captions, digital/text versions of
webinar materials, or other (please specify).
Members of the public may submit questions by email after the
formal DTAG virtual presentation. Members of the public may also submit
a brief statement (less than three pages) to the committee in writing
for inclusion in the public minutes of the meeting. Each member of the
public that wishes to attend this virtual session must provide: Name
and contact information, including an email address and phone number,
and any request for reasonable accommodation to the DTAG Designated
Federal Officer (DFO), Paula Harrison, via email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b5f1e1f4f2f5e6c1d4c1d09bd2dac3"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="bdf9e9fcfafdeec9dcc9d893dad2cb">[email protected]</span></a> by
COB Monday, December 2, 2024.
This announcement might appear in the Federal Register less than 15
days prior to the meeting. The Department of State finds that there is
an exceptional circumstance in that this meeting must be held on
December 4 due to the need to obtain recommendations from the DTAG
prior to the New Year, but this notice was delayed because of a
requirement to address urgent logistical issues regarding the meeting.
(Authority: 22 U.S.C. 2651a and 41 CFR 102-3.150.)
Paula C. Harrison,
Senior Management Analyst, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls,
Department of State.
