Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Third
Rule Implementing Export Control Reform; Correction
AGENCY: Department of State.
ACTION: Final rule, correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of State is correcting a final rule that
appeared in the Federal Register of January 2, 2014 (79 FR 34). The
final rule amended the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
as part of the President's Export Control Reform (ECR) effort.
DATES: This rule is effective July 1, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. C. Edward Peartree, Director,
Office of Defense Trade Controls Policy, Department of State, telephone
(202) 663-2792; email [email protected]. ATTN: Regulatory
Change, Corrections to Third ECR Final Rule.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department provides the following
corrections to the rule, ``Amendment to the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations: Third Rule Implementing Export Control Reform,''
published on January 2, 2014, and effective on July 1, 2014 (79 FR 34).
As part of the President's Export Control Reform (ECR) effort, the
Department of State is amending the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) to revise five more U.S. Munitions List (USML)
categories and provide other changes.
The changes in this rule are meant to clarify the regulation by
revising certain text and providing conforming updates to Supplement
No. 1 to part 126, taking into account revisions made to the USML
categories in the rule published on January 2, 2014. Additionally,
supplement No. 1 to part 126 is amended by removing the note pertaining
to cluster munitions (previously, Note 16) because its presence created
unnecessary confusion with respect to U.S. policy on cluster munitions.
Pursuant to ECR, the Department of Commerce has been publishing
revisions to the Export Administration Regulations, including various
revisions to the Commerce Control List (CCL). Revision of the USML and
CCL are coordinated so there is uninterrupted regulatory coverage for
items moving from the jurisdiction of the Department of State to that
of the Department of Commerce. However, the Department of Commerce's
companion to the rule corrected in this notice (see ``Control of
Military Training Equipment, Energetic Materials, Personal Protective
Equipment, Shelters, Articles Related to Launch Vehicles, Missiles,
Rockets, Military Explosives, and Related Items,'' 79 FR 264) is not
being corrected in this edition of the Federal Register.
The following corrections are made to the rule, ``Amendment to the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Third Rule Implementing
Export Control Reform,'' FR Doc. 2013-31323, published on January 2,
2014 (79 FR 34):

are not eligible for the Treaty exemption whether shipped separately or accompanying a complete engine. Gas
turbine engine hot section exempted defense article components and technology are combustion chambers and
liners; high pressure turbine blades, vanes, disks and related cooled structure; cooled low pressure turbine
blades, vanes, disks and related cooled structure; cooled augmenters; and cooled nozzles. Examples of gas

the AS or UK Treaty exemptions are:
(a) IR countermeasures;
(b) Classified techniques and capabilities;
(c) Exports for precision radio frequency location that directly or indirectly supports fire control and is used
for situation awareness, target identification, target acquisition, and weapons targeting and Radio Direction
Finding (RDF) capabilities. Precision RF location is defined as angle of arrival accuracy of less than five
degrees (RMS) and RF emitter location of less than ten percent range error;
(d) Providing the capability to reprogram; and
(e) Acoustics (including underwater), active and passive countermeasures, and counter-countermeasures.
Note 10: Examples of defense articles covered by this exclusion include underwater acoustic vector sensors;
acoustic reduction; off-board, underwater, active and passive sensing, propeller/propulsor technologies; fixed
mobile/floating/powered detection systems which include in-buoy signal processing for target detection and
classification; autonomous underwater vehicles capable of long endurance in ocean environments (manned
submarines excluded); automated control algorithms embedded in on-board autonomous platforms which enable (a)
group behaviors for target detection and classification, (b) adaptation to the environment or tactical
situation for enhancing target detection and classification; ``intelligent autonomy'' algorithms that define
the status, group (greater than 2) behaviors, and responses to detection stimuli by autonomous, underwater
vehicles; and low frequency, broadband ``acoustic color,'' active acoustic ``fingerprint'' sensing for the
purpose of long range, single pass identification of ocean bottom objects, buried or otherwise (controlled
under Category USML XI(a)(1), (a)(2), (b), (c), and (d)).
Note 11: This exclusion does not apply to the platforms (e.g., vehicles) for which the armored plates are
applied. For exclusions related to the platforms, refer to the other exclusions in this list, particularly for
the category in which the platform is controlled.
The excluded defense articles include constructions of metallic or non-metallic materials or combinations
thereof specially designed to provide protection for military systems. The phrase ``suitable for military
use'' applies to any articles or materials which have been tested to level IIIA or above IAW NIJ standard
0108.01 or comparable national standard. This exclusion does not include military helmets, body armor, or
other protective garments which may be exported IAW the terms of the AS or UK Treaty.
