Defense Trade Advisory Group; Notice of Open Meeting

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG) will meet in open 
session January 16, 2014, to discuss current defense trade issues and 
topics for further study. Specific agenda topics include: (1) Identify 
potential negative impacts and unintended consequences of the Export 
Control Reform Initiatives on industry and provide recommendation on 
how to overcome/minimize such impacts; (2) Review the impacts on 
industry for use of the exemptions authorized to support the Defense 
Trade Cooperation Treaties between the United States and the United 
Kingdom and Australia respectively; (3) Provide a proposal for an 
effective export control system for non-lethal, non-Category I UAVs 
that would facilitate their use in non-military roles; and (4) Review 
how various USG agencies define controlled unclassified information 
(CUI), including export controlled technical data, and critical program 
information (CPI); review the statutory, regulatory and other bases 
(e.g., policy or directive) for agency control; and assess how USG 
agencies impose potentially competing requirements on industry for 
protecting CUI and CPI.
    The membership of this advisory committee consists of private 
sector defense trade representatives, appointed by the Assistant 
Secretary of State for Political Military Affairs, and advises the 
Department on policies, regulations, and technical issues affecting 
defense trade.
    Members of the public may attend this open session and will be

Chair's instructions. Members of the public may, if they wish, submit a
