News From the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls
The State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) today updated its website to remind exporters that despite Libya's removal from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, Libya remains a proscribed destination. Thus, until a Federal Register notice is issued, the U.S. will continue to deny all export applications for defense articles and services to Libya.
In addition, DDTC has posted some Frequently Asked Questions on the recently published commodity jurisdiction on airframe parts and components common to the C-130 and L-100 aircraft. Exporters should be reminded that any airframe parts and components common to the C-130 and L-100 aircraft that have no current use on any other commercial aircraft will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of State as of August 21, 2006 and will require a DDTC license to be exported. August 21st is also the deadline for exporters to submit reports to DDTC that previously used Department of Commerce procedures to export airframe parts and components common to the C-130 and L-100 aircraft.
As part of DDTC's continuing transition to electronic licensing via D-Trade, DDTC is holding the second in its series of D-Trade Seminars on August 3, 2006, at the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott in East Elmhurst, New York. The registration deadline for the program is July 26, 2006. For more information, see the following link.
