Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Changes to Authorized Officials and the UK Defense Trade Treaty Exemption; Correction of Errors in Lebanon Policy and Violations; and Adoption of Recent Amendments as Final; Correction
AGENCY:
Department of State.
ACTION:
Final rule, correcting amendment.
SUMMARY:
The Department of State is correcting the inadvertent omission of regulatory text in a recent final rule.
DATES:
This rule is effective April 17, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. C. Edward Peartree, Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls Policy, U.S. Department of State, telephone (202) 663-2792, or email DDTCResponseTeam@state.gov. ATTN: Correction to 126.17.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On February 11, 2014, the Department amended the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to, among other things, update the text of the licensing exemption created pursuant to the Treaty Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United Kingdom Concerning Defense Trade Cooperation, at ITAR § 126.17, so that it is a clearer representation of treaty requirements and is also consistent with ITAR § 126.16 (the Australia defense trade treaty exemption) (79 FR 8082). As a result of an error in amendatory instruction, ITAR § 126.17(o)(2)(i) through (iv) were removed. This amendment restores those paragraphs. The Department's regulatory analyses with respect to this rule were published at 79 FR 8082, and are hereby incorporated by reference.
