[Public Notice: 9811]
RIN 1400-AE07
International Traffic in Arms Regulations: International Trade
Data System, Reporting
AGENCY: Department of State.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of State amends the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) to enable U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to implement the International Trade Data System (ITDS), which
will allow businesses to electronically submit the data required to
import or export cargo, as provided by Executive Order 13659 and the
Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act).
DATES: This final rule is effective on December 31, 2016.
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: International
Trade Data System, reporting.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls
(DDTC) of the Department of State regulates the export and temporary
import of defense-related goods and defense services under the Arms
Export Control Act (AECA) and its implementing regulations, the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This rule is being
issued to conform DDTC's regulations to ITDS, ``an electronic
information exchange capability, or `single window', through which
businesses will transmit data required by participating agencies for
the importation or exportation of cargo'' (Executive Order 13659, Sec.
3, Feb. 19, 2014). Executive Order 13659 requires government-wide
implementation of ITDS by December 31, 2016. Additionally, Section 405
of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE
Port Act) mandates agency participation in ITDS for all Federal
agencies that have oversight of imports and exports. A consortium of 47
Federal agencies led by CBP are implementing ITDS.
ITDS represents a shift in the way that imports and exports are
declared to CBP by importers and exporters engaged in international
commerce. Traders will only need to create and submit a single set of
data for each import or export, thus significantly reducing the
[[Page 16]]
paperwork and reporting burden currently experienced by importers and
exporters. Beginning on December 31, 2016, traders will access the ITDS
system via an integrated web portal hosted by CBP. Users may visit
https://www.cbp.gov/trade/automated for more information on the single
portal.
Through the CBP Partner Government Agency (PGA) program, DDTC
promulgated a PGA Message Set that requires traders to enter data
relevant to DDTC's jurisdiction. Beginning December 31, 2016, when
declaring permanent or temporary exports and/or temporary imports of
defense articles controlled by the U.S. Munitions List (USML), traders
will input data relevant to DDTC in CBP's electronic system(s). CBP
will transmit the relevant shipment details to DDTC via an electronic
data exchange, eliminating the need for traders to notify DDTC
separately.
This rule amends pertinent provisions throughout the ITAR to
reflect this new submission mechanism and allow for successor systems
to be put in place.
This rule will make the following changes to the ITAR (22 CFR parts
120-130):
Section 120.28--Listing of Forms Referred to in This Subchapter
Section 120.28 is revised to strike the reference to the Automated
Export System and add, in its place, ``U.S. Customs and Border
Protection's electronic system(s)''.
Section 120.30--The Automated Export System (AES)
Section 120.30 is removed and reserved.
Section 123.4--Temporary Import License Exemptions
Section 123.4(d)(2) is revised to strike the reference to the
Automated Export System (AES) and add, in its place, instructions to
electronically file information with CBP.
Section 123.5--Temporary Export Licenses
Section 123.5(b) is revised to update certain reporting procedures
and to clarify that license information will be submitted to CBP
electronically.
Section 123.16--Exemptions of General Applicability
Sections 123.16(b)(4) and (5) are revised to clarify that
certifications will be sent to CBP electronically and not via hard
copy.
Section 123.17--Exports of Firearms, Ammunition, and Personal
Protective Gear
All references to AES in Sec. 123.17 are struck and, in their
place, instructions to electronically file with CBP are inserted.
Additionally, Sec. 123.17(g)(2) and (h) are revised to update certain
documentation procedures.
Section 123.22--Filing, Retention, and Return of Export Licenses and
Filing of Export Information
Section 123.22 of the ITAR is revised by making certain grammatical
changes and to clarify procedures for the electronic reporting of
exports and temporary imports of defense articles, services, and
technical data pursuant to a license or other approval. All references
to AES in Sec. 123.22 are struck and, in their place, instructions to
electronically file with CBP are inserted.
Section 123.22(a) is revised to clarify electronic reporting
procedures for exports. Paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) are also revised
for clarification of certain procedures.
Section 123.22(b)(2) is revised to clarify that emergency shipment
data shall no longer be required to be sent directly to DDTC, but
rather be electronically declared to CBP, which will make the data
available to DDTC via an electronic data exchange.
Section 123.22(b)(3)(iii) is revised to update electronic reporting
procedures for technical data and defense service exemptions.
Section 123.22(c) is revised to strike a provision relating to the
return of licenses and to reorder the sub-paragraphs.
Section 123.24--Shipments by U.S. Postal Service
Section 123.24 is revised to strike references to AES and insert,
in their place, instructions to electronically file with CBP. The
underlying content of this section is not affected by this change.
Section 126.4--Shipments by or for United States Government Agencies
Section 126.4(d) is amended by revising the first sentence to
account for electronic reporting, and by striking the second sentence.
Section 126.6--Foreign-Owned Military Aircraft and Naval Vessels, and
the Foreign Military Sales Program
Section 126.6(c) is revised to clarify certain procedures relating
to the declaration of information to CBP, and to remove references to
form DSP-94. Section 126.6(c)(5)(iii) is revised to require that the
exporter provide CBP with a copy of the transportation plan under the
Department of Defense National Industrial Security Program Operating
Manual for shipments of classified defense articles exported pursuant
to a Foreign Military Sale Letter of Offer and Acceptance. Section
126.6(c)(6)(iii) is revised to correct a punctuation error made in a
previous rulemaking.
Section 126.16--Exemption Pursuant to the Defense Trade Cooperation
Treaty Between the United States and Australia
Section 126.16(l) is revised to strike references to the Automated
Export System and insert, in their place, instructions to
electronically file with CBP. The underlying content of this section
will not be affected by this change.
Section 126.17--Exemption Pursuant to the Defense Trade Cooperation
Treaty Between the United States and the United Kingdom
Section 126.17(l) is revised to strike references to the Automated
Export System and insert, in their place, instructions to
electronically file with CBP. The underlying content of this section
will not be affected by this change.
Regulatory Analysis
Administrative Procedure Act
The Department of State is of the opinion that controlling the
import and export of defense articles and services is a foreign affairs
function of the United States Government and that rules implementing
this function are exempt from sections 553 (rulemaking) and 554
(adjudications) of the Administrative Procedure Act. As this rule
serves to implement the requirements of the Security and Accountability
for Every Port Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-347), the Department of State
is publishing this final rule using the ``good cause'' exception to the
Administrative Procedure Act, as this rule is being published to
fulfill the requirements outlined in Executive Order 13659. The
Department has determined that public comment on this rulemaking would
be impractical, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because this rulemaking is exempt from Section 553 of the
Administrative Procedures Act, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rule does not involve a mandate that will result in the
expenditure by
[[Page 17]]
State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more in any year and it will not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no
actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996
The Department does not believe this rulemaking is a major rule
within the definition of 5 U.S.C. 804.
Executive Orders 12372 and 13132
This rulemaking will not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the National Government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive
Order 13132, the Department has determined that this rulemaking does
not have sufficient federalism implications to require consultations or
warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. The
regulations implementing Executive Order 12372 regarding
intergovernmental consultation on Federal programs and activities do
not apply to this rulemaking.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess costs
and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributed impacts, and equity). These executive orders
stress the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of
reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. The
Department has determined that the benefits of this rulemaking outweigh
any cost to the public, which the Department believes will be minimal.
OMB has designated this rule non-significant.
Executive Order 12988
The Department of State has reviewed the proposed amendment in
light of Executive Order 12988 to eliminate ambiguity, minimize
litigation, establish clear legal standards, and reduce burden.
Executive Order 13175
The Department of State has determined that this rulemaking will
not have tribal implications, will not impose substantial direct
compliance costs on Indian tribal governments, and will not preempt
tribal law. Accordingly, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
rulemaking.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rulemaking does not impose or revise any information
collections subject to 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

The revisions read as follows:
Sec. 123.22 Filing, retention, and return of export licenses and
filing of export information.
(a) Any export, as defined in this subchapter, of a defense article
controlled by this subchapter, to include defense articles transiting
the United States, requires the electronic reporting of export
information. The reporting of the export information shall be to the
U.S. Customs and Border Protection using its electronic system(s), or
directly to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), as
appropriate. Before the export of any hardware, via a license or other
authorization, the DDTC registered applicant/exporter, or an agent
acting on the filer's behalf, must electronically submit export
information to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, unless electronic
reporting is unavailable, in which case U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will issue instructions (see paragraph (b) of this section).
In addition to electronically providing the export information to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection before export, all mandatory supporting
documentation (e.g. attachments, certifications, proof of filing in
U.S. Customs and Border Protection's system(s) such as the Internal
Transaction Number (ITN)) must be submitted electronically, unless
electronic reporting of such information is unavailable, in which case
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will issue instructions.
(1) If necessary, an export may be made through a port other than
the one designated on the license if the exporter complies with the
procedures established by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
(2) When a defense article is temporarily exported from the United
States and subsequently moved from one destination authorized on a
license to another destination authorized on the same or another
temporary license, the applicant, or an agent acting on the applicant's
behalf, must ensure that U.S. Customs and Border Protection decrements
both temporary licenses to show the exit and entry of the hardware.
(b) * * *
(1) Filing of export information with the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection. Before exporting any hardware controlled by this subchapter
using a license or exemption, the DDTC registered applicant/exporter,
or an agent acting on the filer's behalf, must electronically file the
export information with U.S. Customs and Border Protection in
accordance with the following timelines:
* * * * *
(2) Emergency shipments of hardware that cannot meet the pre-
departure filing requirements. U.S. Customs and Border Protection may
permit an emergency export of hardware by truck or air by a U.S.
registered person when the exporter is unable to comply with the
Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing timeline in paragraph
(b)(1)(i) of this section. The applicant, or an agent acting on the
applicant's behalf, must provide documentation required by the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection and this subchapter. The documentation
provided to U.S. Customs and Border Protection must include the
Internal Transaction Number (ITN) for the shipment and must be
accompanied by an explanation for urgency. The export filing via U.S.
Customs and Border Protection's electronic system(s) must be made at
least two hours prior to any departure by air from the United States.
When shipping via ground, the filing in U.S. Customs and Border
Protection's electronic system(s) must be made when the exporter
provides the articles to the carrier or at least one hour prior to
departure from the United States, when the permanent export of the
hardware has been authorized for export:
* * * * *
(ii) On a valid license, and the ultimate recipient and ultimate
end-user identified on the license is a foreign government.
(3) * * *
(iii) Technical data and defense service exemptions. In any
instance when technical data is exported using an exemption in this
subchapter (e.g., Sec. Sec. 125.4(b)(2), 125.4(b)(4), 126.5) from a
U.S. port, the exporter must provide the export data electronically to
DDTC. A copy of the electronic notification to DDTC must accompany the
technical data shipment and be made available to
[[Page 19]]
the U.S. Customs and Border Protection upon request.
* * * * *
(c) Return of licenses. Licenses issued by the Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls are subject to return requirements as follows:
(1) A license issued electronically by DDTC and electronically
decremented by U.S. Customs and Border Protection through its
electronic system(s) is not required to be returned to DDTC. A copy of
the license must be maintained by the applicant in accordance with
Sec. 122.5 of this subchapter.
(2) Licenses issued by DDTC but not decremented by U.S. Customs and
Border Protection through its electronic system(s) (e.g. oral or visual
technical data releases) must be returned by the applicant, or the
government agency with which the license was filed, to DDTC upon
expiration, to include when the total authorized value or quantity has
been shipped. A copy of the license must be maintained by the applicant
in accordance with Sec. 122.5 of this subchapter.
(3) A license issued by DDTC but not used by the applicant does not
need to be returned to DDTC, even when expired.
(4) A license revoked by DDTC is considered expired and must be
handled in accordance with paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this
section.

(a) The export of any defense hardware using a license or exemption
in this subchapter by the U.S. Postal Service must be filed with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection using its electronic system(s) and the
license must be filed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection before
any hardware is actually sent abroad by mail. The exporter must certify
the defense hardware being exported in accordance with this subchapter
by clearly marking on the package:
``This export is subject to the controls of the ITAR, 22 CFR
(identify section for an exemption) or (state license number) and the
export has been electronically filed with U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.''
