DDTC Requesting Comments on New Commodity Jurisdiction Form
The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) published a Federal Register notice announcing that the 30 day comment period has begun for the revised DS-4076 Commodity Jurisdiction Determination Form. This form is in a fillable PDF format.
DDTC is encouraging manufacturers to review the form and to consider using it in connection with Commodity Jurisdiction requests.
Note that the estimate for completing this form is 10 hours per response, which includes time required for searching existing data sources, gathering the necessary data, providing the information required, and reviewing the final information to be submitted.
Comments on this form must be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget by October 28, 2009.
The purpose of a Commodity Jurisdiction request is to determine whether an item or service is covered by the U.S. Munitions List (USML) and therefore subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or if the item or service is subject to the jurisdiction of the Commerce Department's Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
