DDTC Publishes Statutory Debarment List
The State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) published a notice in today's Federal Register (pdf) listing the 53 companies and individuals that have been statutorily debarred from participating in ITAR-related transactions as a result of being convicted of violating or attempting to violate the Arms Export Control Act.
Persons subject to statutory debarment are prohibited from participating directly or indirectly in the export of defense articles, including technical data, or in the furnishing of defense services for which a license or other approval is required.
Exporters of defense articles, ITAR controlled technical data and defense services must check the statutory debarment list (and the other restricted party lists maintained by BIS and OFAC) to ensure that no person or company named on this list is involved in a proposed transaction.
