U.S. revisions to definition and controls related to defense services in ITAR

Aim to clarify activities that are controlled and describe new activities proposed for control

July 25, 2024

The U.S. Department of State today released a proposed rule to revise the definition of defense service and the scope of related controls in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

The amendments aim to clarify the activities that are controlled and describe new activities proposed for control. Key changes include revising the list of regulated activities, and introducing new United States Munitions List (USML) entries for intelligence and military assistance.

The proposed rule also specifies exceptions to avoid redundant export licensing requirements and so that only activities providing a critical military or intelligence advantage are controlled.

The State Department is seeking public comments on the proposals.
