ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of State is amending the International Traffic 
in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to implement the Treaty Between the 
Government of the United States of America and the Government of 
Australia Concerning Defense Trade Cooperation, identify via a 
supplement to the ITAR the defense articles and defense services that 
cannot be exported pursuant to the licensing exemption created by the 
Treaty, and make certain other corrections to the supplement.

DATES: This rule is effective upon the entry into force of the Treaty 
Between the Government of the United States of America and the 
Government of Australia Concerning Defense Trade Cooperation. The 
Department will publish a final rule in the Federal Register providing 
the effective date of this rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of State is amending the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) pursuant to the 
Security Cooperation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-266), with the inclusion 
of other changes. Title I of the Security Cooperation Act, the Defense 
Trade Cooperation Treaties Implementation Act of 2010, implements the 
Treaty Between the Government of the United States of America and the 
Government of Australia Concerning Defense Trade Cooperation (Treaty 
Doc. 110-10), and the Treaty Between the Government of the United 
States of America and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great 
Britain and Northern Ireland Concerning Defense Trade Cooperation 
(Treaty Doc. 110-7). The U.S.-UK treaty entered into force on April 13, 
2012. (See ``Implementation of the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty 
Between the United States and the United Kingdom,'' 77 FR 16592, and 
``Announcement of Entry Into Force of the Defense Trade Cooperation 
Treaty Between the United States and the United Kingdom,'' 77 FR 
33089.) This rule amends the ITAR with regard to the U.S.-Australia 
treaty (the ``Treaty'').
    ITAR Sec.  120.1 is amended to provide updated authorities and 
editorial changes. ITAR Sec.  120.33 is added to provide a definition 
of ``Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty between the United States and 
Australia.'' New ITAR Sec.  120.35 defines the Implementing Arrangement 
pursuant to the Treaty. ITAR Sec.  126.16 is added to create the 
licensing exemption and provide guidance on its use. Supplement No. 1 
to part 126 is amended to identify

[[Page 21524]]

defense articles that may not be exported and defense services that may 
not be furnished through the exemption.
    In addition, the supplement is amended to make the following 
corrections and clarifications: the phrase, ``defense articles and 
services related to'' is removed from the row regarding USML Category I 
articles, and the USML citation for armored plates is changed from USML 
Category XIII(c) to XIII(e).
    On November 22, 2011 (76 FR 72246, RIN 1400-AC95), the Department 
published for public comment a proposed rule to amend the ITAR to 
implement the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty between the United 
States and the United Kingdom and the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty 
between the United States and Australia, and to identify, via a 
supplement, the defense articles that may not be exported and the 
defense services that may not be furnished through use of the licensing 
exemptions created by the treaties. The comment period ended December 
22, 2011. Fifteen parties filed comments that applied to the Treaty. 
The Department's evaluation of the comments and recommendations 
follows.
    The majority of commenting parties expressed support for the 
Treaty's intention of facilitating defense exports with one of the 
United States' closest allies. However, the commenting parties 
expressed concern that the exemption is overly complicated and its 
requirements too burdensome to be truly workable. The Department 
appreciates these comments and believes the clarifying edits made in 
this final rule make application of the exemption clearer.
    Several commenting parties requested additional guidance for 
various aspects of the exemption described in ITAR Sec.  126.16. As 
part of Treaty implementation, the Department's Directorate of Defense 
Trade Controls (DDTC) has posted Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on 
its Web site (www.pmddtc.state.gov). These FAQs address these requests 
for guidance.
    Two commenting parties recommended that the Department add a 
definition for defense articles to ITAR Sec.  126.16(a)(1) to clarify 
that ''defense articles'' also includes technical data for purposes of 
the exemption. The Department does not believe this change is necessary 
as the definition for ``defense articles'' in ITAR Sec.  120.6 clearly 
identifies technical data as within its scope. Unless specifically 
indicated otherwise, the use of the term ``defense article'' includes 
technical data.
    One commenting party requested clarification of the term ``access'' 
as used in ITAR Sec.  126.16(a)(1)(iv), indicating that it is common 
for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to authorize a physical 
manipulation of a container, which would seemingly result in an 
intermediate consignee having ``access'' to an item in the shipment. 
The Department believes the meaning of ``access'' is plain, and does 
not include situations such as this, where there is a directive from a 
CBP official to open a container for the purpose as stated. Another 
party requested that the Department place in this section a reference 
to ITAR Sec.  126.16(k), which discusses intermediate consignees. The 
Department accepted this recommendation and has revised the section 
accordingly.
    One commenting party expressed concern that the process by which 
the U.S. Government would obtain records, as provided in ITAR Sec.  
126.16(l) and other sections of the exemption, is unclear. These 
sections are not intended to identify the process by which record 
requests are made, and therefore were not revised to provide this 
information. (The records-request process would be the same for ITAR 
Sec.  126.16(l) as for requests made pursuant to any other section of 
the ITAR.)
    One commenting party noted that ITAR Sec.  126.16(a)(4) seemed to 
limit transfers just to exports to the United States. The Department 
has revised this section to clarify that it applies to transfers within 
the Approved Community.
    Two commenting parties requested that the Department change the 
word ``required'' to ``pursuant to'' in ITAR Sec.  126.16(a)(4)(iii). 
This change was not accepted because the word ``required'' is a 
requirement of the Treaty.
    In response to the recommendation of two commenting parties, the 
Department revised ITAR Sec.  126.16(a)(5) regarding the applicability 
of this exemption to defense articles delivered via the Foreign 
Military Sales program.
    Three commenting parties recommended that the Department include an 
explanation of the vetting process for the Australian Community in ITAR 
Sec.  126.16(d). The Department did not accept this recommendation for 
the rule itself, but notes that the vetting requirements are identified 
in the Treaty and Implementing Arrangement, which are available on 
DDTC's Web site.
    Three commenting parties requested that the Department provide 
additional guidance on requesting confirmation of Treaty eligibility 
for operations, programs, and projects that cannot be publicly 
identified (i.e., are classified). For this information, the Department 
refers inquiries by members of the approved community to both the DDTC 
Web site and the appropriate defense authority.
    One commenting party inquired whether the Department will publish a 
complete list of U.S. Government contracts that are Treaty eligible. 
The Department will not do so. The U.S. Department of Defense has 
updated the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 
and certain contract clauses, which will identify Treaty eligibility 
when incorporated into a contract.
    Three commenting parties requested that ITAR Sec.  126.16(g)(1) be 
clarified to indicate whether it applies to marketing to members of the 
Approved Community, or requested its removal. This provision is part of 
the Treaty's Exempted Technology List, and therefore cannot be removed. 
However, the Department revised ITAR Sec.  126.16(g)(1) to indicate 
that marketing to members of the Australian Community is covered so 
long as it is for an approved Treaty end-use and meets the other 
requirements of this section.
    One commenting party recommended removal of ITAR Sec.  126.16(g)(4) 
or, in the alternative, adding the parenthetical ``(or foreign 
equivalent)'' after ``Milestone B.'' The Department cannot remove this 
paragraph as it is part of the Treaty's Exempted Technology List. The 
Department also cannot add the parenthetical as there is no equivalent 
in Australia to ``Milestone B.''
    One commenting party requested changes to ITAR Sec.  126.16(g)(5) 
to allow for the export of embedded exempted technologies in certain 
circumstances. The Department is not, at this time, prepared to broaden 
this provision to include embedded exempted technologies.
    Two commenting parties commented on the complexity of using ITAR 
Sec.  126.16(h) with a diverse supply chain and requested clarification 
on the applicability of ITAR Sec.  123.9(e) to this exemption. The 
Department appreciates the diverse nature of global supply chains, but 
believes the mechanisms provided in ITAR Sec.  126.16(h) are no more 
onerous than current retransfer or reexport requirements. Further, as 
indicated in ITAR Sec.  126.16(h)(5), any retransfer, reexport, or 
change in end-use under ITAR Sec.  126.16(h) shall be made in 
accordance with ITAR Sec.  123.9.
    In response to the recommendation of two commenting parties, the 
Department has deleted ``any citizen of

[[Page 21525]]

such countries'' from ITAR Sec.  126.16(h)(8).
    Ten commenting parties commented on the marking requirements 
provided in ITAR Sec.  126.16(j). Of most concern was a perception that 
the requirements of this section made using the exemption overly 
burdensome and costly. Various suggestions were provided, ranging from 
removal of the requirement to rewording of certain sections. The 
majority of these commenting parties requested removal of the 
requirement in paragraph (j)(2) for exporters to remove Treaty 
markings. The Department appreciates these comments; however, apart 
from minor clarifying changes, the marking requirements have not been 
removed or revised because they are made pursuant to the Treaty and its 
Implementing Arrangement.
    One commenting party requested that the Department revise the text 
of the statement required by ITAR Sec.  126.16(j)(5) to indicate that 
the items being exported are USML items and authorized only for export 
to Australia under the Treaty. The Department accepted this suggestion 
and revised the text accordingly.
    One commenting party requested that registered brokers be included 
in ITAR Sec.  126.16(k)(1)(ii). Australian intermediate consignees must 
meet the requirements of this section. If a registered broker meets 
these requirements, then it may be an intermediate consignee for 
purposes of this exemption. However, simply being a registered broker 
does not automatically qualify an entity as an Australian intermediate 
consignee.
    One commenting party recommended changing ``all exports'' in ITAR 
Sec.  126.16(l)(1) to ``their exports'' to acknowledge that the U.S. 
exporter may not be aware or have record of a reexport/retransfer 
request submitted by an Australian Community member. The Department 
accepted this recommendation and has revised the section accordingly.
    One commenting party requested clarification of whether ITAR Sec.  
126.16(l)(1)(x) referred to the USML category or security 
classification. The Department revised this section to make clear that 
it refers to security classification.
    The Department accepted the recommendation of one commenting party 
to remove reference to ``defense services'' in ITAR Sec.  126.16(l)(2).
    Two commenting parties requested that the Department clarify 
whether ITAR Sec.  126.16(m) required exporters to submit negative 
reports. Reporting requirements under this section are contingent on 
meeting the requirements of ITAR Sec.  130.9.
    Two commenting parties requested clarification on whether the 
congressional notification requirement under the Treaty is identical to 
that required under normal license authorization processes. The 
Department confirms that the requirement is the same.
    Ten commenting parties submitted comments regarding the scope and 
text of Supplement No. 1 to part 126. In particular, comments indicated 
concern that the supplement was too broad and possibly excluded too 
much to make the exemption useful. The Department appreciates these 
comments, and has made clarifying edits to Supplement No. 1 to the 
extent possible within the confines of the Treaty, the Implementing 
Arrangement, and the Exempted Technology List.
    For clarification, the Department has added, ``prior to movement,'' 
to the text of ITAR Sec.  126.16(j)(1), which is in conformance with 
the requirements of the Treaty's Implementing Arrangement.
    Having thoroughly reviewed and evaluated the written comments and 
recommended changes, the Department has determined that it will accept, 
and hereby adopt with the noted changes, the proposed rule, as it 
pertained to the Treaty, as a final rule, to be effective when the 
Treaty enters into force.

Regulatory Analysis and Notices

Administrative Procedure Act

    The Department of State is of the opinion that controlling the 
import and export of defense articles and services is a foreign affairs 
function of the United States government and that rules implementing 
this function are exempt from sections 553 (rulemaking) and 554 
(adjudications) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). In addition, 
this rulemaking is implementing the provisions of a treaty between the 
United States and Australia and related amendments to the Arms Export 
Control Act. Although the Department is of the opinion that this rule 
is exempt from the rulemaking provisions of the APA, the Department 
published this rule with a 30-day provision for public comment and 
without prejudice to its determination that controlling the import and 
export of defense services is a foreign affairs function (RIN 1400-
AC95). This rule is effective upon the entry into force of the Treaty 
Between the Government of the United States of America and the 
Government of Australia Concerning Defense Trade Cooperation (Treaty 
Doc. 110-10). Once the Treaty is in force, exporters must be able to 
utilize the Treaty for qualifying exports of defense articles.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Since the Department is of the opinion that this rule is exempt 
from the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553, there is no requirement for an 
analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    This rulemaking does not involve a mandate that will result in the 
expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, 
or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any year, and it 
will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, 
no actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995.

Executive Order 13175

    The Department of State has determined that this rulemaking will 
not have tribal implications, will not impose substantial direct 
compliance costs on Indian tribal governments, and will not preempt 
tribal law. Accordingly, the requirement of Executive Order 13175 does 
not apply to this rulemaking.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996

    This rulemaking is not a major rule within the meaning of the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996.

Executive Orders 12372 and 13132

    This rulemaking will not have substantial direct effects on the 
States, on the relationship between the national government and the 
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive 
Order 13132, it is determined that this rulemaking does not have 
sufficient federalism implications to require consultations or warrant 
the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. The 
regulations implementing Executive Order 12372 regarding 
intergovernmental consultation on Federal programs and activities do 
not apply to this rulemaking.

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic,

[[Page 21526]]

environmental, public health and safety effects, distributed impacts, 
and equity). These executive orders stress the importance of 
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing 
rules, and of promoting flexibility. The Department has reviewed this 
regulation to ensure its consistency with the regulatory philosophy and 
principles set forth in these executive orders. The Department also has 
determined that this rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' 
under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.

Executive Order 12988

    The Department of State has reviewed this rulemaking in light of 
sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 to eliminate 
ambiguity, minimize litigation, establish clear legal standards, and 
reduce burden.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping 
requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35.

6. Section 126.16 is added to read as follows:


Sec.  126.16  Exemption pursuant to the Defense Trade Cooperation 
Treaty between the United States and Australia.

    (a) Scope of exemption and required conditions. (1) Definitions. 
(i) An export means, for purposes of this section only, the initial 
movement of defense articles or defense services from the United States 
Community to the Australian Community.
    (ii) A transfer means, for purposes of this section only, the 
movement of a previously exported defense article or defense service by 
a member of the Australian Community within the Australian Community, 
or between a member of the United States Community and a member of the 
Australian Community.
    (iii) Retransfer and reexport have the meaning provided in Sec.  
120.19 of this subchapter.
    (iv) Intermediate consignee means, for purposes of this section, an 
entity or person who receives, but does not have access to, defense 
articles, including technical data, for the sole purpose of effecting 
onward movement to members of the Approved Community (see paragraph (k) 
of this section).
    (2) Persons or entities exporting or transferring defense articles 
or defense services are exempt from the otherwise applicable licensing 
requirements if such persons or entities comply with the regulations 
set forth in this section. Except as provided in Supplement No. 1 to 
part 126 of this subchapter, Port Directors of U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection and postmasters shall permit the permanent and temporary 
export without a license from members of the United States Community to 
members of the Australian Community (see paragraph (d) of this section 
regarding the identification of members of the Australian Community) of 
defense articles and defense services not listed in Supplement No. 1 to 
part 126 of this subchapter, for the end-uses specifically identified 
pursuant to paragraphs (e) and (f) of this section. The purpose of this 
section is to specify the requirements to export, transfer, reexport, 
retransfer, or otherwise dispose of a defense article or defense 
service pursuant to the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty between the 
United States and Australia. All persons must continue to comply with 
statutory and regulatory requirements outside of this subchapter 
concerning the import of defense articles and defense services or the 
possession or transfer of defense articles, including, but not limited 
to, regulations issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and 
Explosives found at 27 CFR parts 447, 478, and 479, which are 
unaffected by the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty between the United 
States and Australia.
    (3) Export. In order for an exporter to export a defense article or 
defense service pursuant to the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty 
between the United States and Australia, all of the following 
conditions must be met:
    (i) The exporter must be registered with the Directorate of Defense 
Trade Controls (DDTC) and must be eligible, according to the 
requirements and prohibitions of the Arms Export Control Act, this 
subchapter, and other provisions of United States law, to obtain an 
export license (or other forms of authorization to export) from any 
agency of the U.S. Government without

[[Page 21527]]

restriction (see paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section for specific 
requirements);
    (ii) The recipient of the export must be a member of the Australian 
Community (see paragraph (d) of this section regarding the 
identification of members of the Australian Community). Australian non-
governmental entities and facilities that become ineligible for such 
membership will be removed from the Australian Community;
    (iii) Intermediate consignees involved in the export must not be 
ineligible, according to the requirements and prohibitions of the Arms 
Export Control Act, this subchapter, and other provisions of United 
States law, to handle or receive a defense article or defense service 
without restriction (see paragraph (k) of this section for specific 
requirements);
    (iv) The export must be for an end-use specified in the Defense 
Trade Cooperation Treaty between the United States and Australia and 
mutually agreed to by the U.S. Government and the Government of 
Australia pursuant to the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty between the 
United States and Australia and the Implementing Arrangement thereto 
(the Australia Implementing Arrangement) (see paragraphs (e) and (f) of 
this section regarding authorized end-uses);
    (v) The defense article or defense service is not excluded from the 
scope of the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty between the United States 
and Australia (see paragraph (g) of this section and Supplement No. 1 
to part 126 of this subchapter for specific information on the scope of 
items excluded from export under this exemption) and is marked or 
identified, at a minimum, as ``Restricted USML'' (see paragraph (j) of 
this section for specific requirements on marking exports);
    (vi) All required documentation of such export is maintained by the 
exporter and recipient and is available upon the request of the U.S. 
Government (see paragraph (l) of this section for specific 
requirements); and
    (vii) The Department of State has provided advance notification to 
the Congress, as required, in accordance with this section (see 
paragraph (o) of this section for specific requirements).
    (4) Transfers. In order for a member of the Approved Community 
(i.e., the United States Community and Australian Community) to 
transfer a defense article or defense service under the Defense Trade 
Cooperation Treaty within the Approved Community, all of the following 
conditions must be met:
    (i) The defense article or defense service must have been 
previously exported in accordance with paragraph (a)(3) of this section 
or transitioned from a license or other approval in accordance with 
paragraph (i) of this section;
    (ii) The transferor and transferee of the defense article or 
defense service are members of the Australian Community (see paragraph 
(d) of this section regarding the identification of members of the 
Australian Community) or the United States Community (see paragraph (b) 
of this section for information on the United States Community/approved 
exporters);
    (iii) The transfer is required for an end-use specified in the 
Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty between the United States and 
Australia and mutually agreed to by the Government of the United States 
and the Government of Australia pursuant to the terms of the Defense 
Trade Cooperation Treaty between the United States and Australia and 
the Australia Implementing Arrangement (see paragraphs (e) and (f) of 
this section regarding authorized end-uses);
    (iv) The defense article or defense service is not identified in 
paragraph (g) of this section and Supplement No. 1 to part 126 of this 
subchapter as ineligible for export under this exemption, and is marked 
or otherwise identified, at a minimum, as ``Restricted USML'' (see 
paragraph (j) of this section for specific requirements on marking 
exports);
    (v) All required documentation of such transfer is maintained by 
the transferor and transferee and is available upon the request of the 
U.S. Government (see paragraph (l) of this section for specific 
requirements); and
    (vi) The Department of State has provided advance notification to 
the Congress in accordance with this section (see paragraph (o) of this 
section for specific requirements).
    (5) This section does not apply to the export of defense articles 
or defense services from the United States pursuant to the Foreign 
Military Sales program. Once such items are delivered to the Australian 
Government, they may be treated as if they were exported pursuant to 
the Treaty and then must be marked, identified, transmitted, stored and 
handled in accordance with the Treaty, the Australia Implementing 
Arrangement, and the provisions of this section.
    (b) United States Community. The following persons compose the 
United States Community and may export or transfer defense articles and 
defense services pursuant to the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty 
between the United States and Australia:
    (1) Departments and agencies of the U.S. Government, including 
their personnel acting in their official capacity, with, as 
appropriate, a security clearance and a need-to-know; and
    (2) Non-governmental U.S. persons registered with DDTC and 
eligible, according to the requirements and prohibitions of the Arms 
Export Control Act, this subchapter, and other provisions of United 
States law, to obtain an export license (or other forms of 
authorization to export) from any agency of the U.S. Government without 
restriction, including their employees acting in their official 
capacity with, as appropriate, a security clearance and a need-to-know.
    (c) An exporter that is otherwise an authorized exporter pursuant

U.S. Government contract or solicitation as being eligible under the 
Treaty.
    (4) No other operations, programs, projects, or end-uses qualify

    (g) Items eligible under this section. With the exception of items 
listed in Supplement No. 1 to part 126 of this subchapter, defense 
articles and defense services may be exported under this section 
subject to the following:
    (1) An exporter authorized pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section may market a defense article to members of the Australian 
Community if that exporter has been licensed by DDTC to export (as 
defined by Sec.  120.17 of this subchapter) the identical type of 
defense article to any foreign person and end-use of the article is for 
an end-use identified in paragraph (e) of this section.
    (2) The export of any defense article specific to the existence of 
(e.g., reveals the existence of or details of) anti-tamper measures 
made at U.S. Government direction always requires prior written

from the U.S. Department of Defense that provides for the export of the 
classified defense article(s) or defense service(s).
    (4) U.S.-origin defense articles specific to developmental systems 
that have not obtained written Milestone B approval from the U.S. 
Department of Defense milestone approval authority are not eligible for

(e.g., a ship, an aircraft) must separately comply with any 
restrictions placed on that embedded defense article under this 
subchapter. The exporter must obtain a license or other authorization 
from DDTC for the export of such embedded defense articles (for 
example, USML Category XI (a)(3) electronically scanned array radar 
systems that are exempt from this section that are incorporated in an 
aircraft that is eligible to ship under this section continue to 
require separate authorization from DDTC for their export, transfer, 
reexport, or retransfer).

owned patent or proprietary rights, either domestic or foreign, by 
reason of an export conducted pursuant to this section.
    (7) Sales by exporters made through the U.S. Government shall not 
include either charges for patent rights in which the U.S. Government

Community or the United States Community for an end-use that is 
authorized by this exemption (see paragraphs (e) and (f) of this 
section regarding authorized end-uses) is authorized under this 
exemption.
    (2) Any transfer or other provision of a defense article or defense 
service for an end-use that is not authorized by the exemption provided

approval of DDTC (see paragraphs (e) and (f) of this section regarding 
authorized end-uses).
    (3) Any retransfer or reexport, or other provision of a defense 
article or defense service by a member of the Australian Community to a 
foreign person that is not a member of the Australian Community, or to 
a U.S. person that is not a member of the United States Community, is 
prohibited without a license or the prior written approval of DDTC (see 
paragraph (d) of this section for specific information on the

123.9 of this subchapter.
    (6) Defense articles excluded by paragraph (g) of this section or

(a)(3) electronically scanned array radar systems) that are embedded in 
a larger system that is eligible to ship under this section (e.g., a 
ship, an aircraft) must separately comply with any restrictions placed 
on that embedded defense article unless otherwise specified. A license 
or other authorization must be obtained from DDTC for the export, 
transfer, reexport, retransfer, or change in end-use of any such 
embedded defense article (for example, USML Category XI(a)(3) 
electronically scanned array radar systems that are excluded from this 
section by Supplement No. 1 to part 126 of this subchapter, Note 2 that 
are incorporated in an aircraft that is eligible to ship under this 
section continue to require separate authorization from DDTC for their 
export, transfer, reexport, or retransfer).
    (7) A license or prior approval from DDTC is not required for a 
transfer, retransfer, or reexport of an exported defense article or 
defense service under this section, if:
    (i) The transfer of defense articles or defense services is made by 
a member of the United States Community to Australian Department of 
Defence (ADOD) elements deployed outside the Territory of Australia and 
engaged in an authorized end-use (see paragraphs (e) and (f) of this 
section regarding authorized end-uses) using ADOD transmission channels 
or the provisions of this section (Note: For purposes of paragraph 
(h)(7)(i) through (iv) of this section, per Section 9(9) of the 
Australia Implementing Arrangement, ``ADOD Transmission channels'' 
includes electronic transmission of a defense article and transmission 
of a defense article by an ADOD contracted carrier or freight forwarder 
that merely transports or arranges transport for the defense article in 
this instance.);
    (ii) The transfer of defense articles or defense services is made 
by a member of the United States Community to an Approved Community 
member (either

[[Page 21529]]

United States or Australian) that is operating in direct support of 
ADOD elements deployed outside the Territory of Australia and engaged 
in an authorized end-use (see paragraphs (e) and (f) of this section 
regarding authorized end-uses) using ADOD transmission channels or the 
provisions of this section;
    (iii) The reexport is made by a member of the Australian Community 
to ADOD elements deployed outside the Territory of Australia engaged in 
an authorized end-use (see paragraphs (e) and (f) of this section 
regarding authorized end-uses) using ADOD transmission channels or the 
provisions of this section;
    (iv) The reexport is made by a member of the Australian Community 
to an Approved Community member (either United States or Australian) 
that is operating in direct support of ADOD elements deployed outside 
the Territory of Australia engaged in an authorized end-use (see 
paragraphs (e) and (f) of this section regarding authorized end-uses) 
using ADOD transmission channels or the provisions of this section; or
    (v) The defense article or defense service will be delivered to the 
ADOD for an authorized end-use (see paragraphs (e) and (f) of this 
section regarding authorized end-uses); the ADOD may deploy the item as 
necessary when conducting official business within or outside the 
Territory of Australia. The item must remain under the effective 
control of the ADOD while deployed and access may not be provided to 
unauthorized third parties.
    (8) U.S. persons registered, or required to be registered, pursuant 
to part 122 of this subchapter and members of the Australian Community 
must immediately notify DDTC of any actual or proposed sale, 
retransfer, or reexport of a defense article or defense service on the 
U.S. Munitions List originally exported under this exemption to any of 
the countries listed in Sec.  126.1 of this subchapter or any person 
acting on behalf of such countries, whether within or outside the 
United States. Any person knowing or having reason to know of such a 
proposed or actual sale, reexport, or retransfer shall submit such 
information in writing to the Office of Defense Trade Controls 
Compliance, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.
    (i) Transitions. (1) Any previous export of a defense article under 
a license or other approval of the U.S. Department of State remains 
subject to the conditions and limitations of the original license or 
authorization unless DDTC has approved in writing a transition to this 
section.
    (2) If a U.S. exporter desires to transition from an existing 
license or other approval to the use of the provisions of this section, 
the following is required:
    (i) The U.S. exporter must submit a written request to DDTC, which 
identifies the defense articles or defense services to be transitioned, 
the existing license(s) or other authorizations under which the defense 
articles or defense services were originally exported, and the Treaty-
eligible end-use for which the defense articles or defense services 
will be used. Any license(s) filed with U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection should remain on file until the exporter has received 
approval from DDTC to retire the license(s) and transition to this 
section. When this approval is conveyed to U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection by DDTC, the license(s) will be returned to DDTC by U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection in accord with existing procedures for 
the return of expired licenses in Sec.  123.22(c) of this subchapter.
    (ii) Any license(s) not filed with U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection must be returned to DDTC with a letter citing approval by 
DDTC to transition to this section as the reason for returning the 
license(s).
    (3) If a member of the Australian Community desires to transition 
defense articles received under an existing license or other approval 
to the processes established under the Treaty, the Australian Community 
member must submit a written request to the Government of Australia. 
The Government of Australia will submit the request to DDTC for review 
and approval. The defense article or defense service shall remain 
subject to the conditions and limitations of the existing license or 
other approval until the Australian Community member has received via 
the Government of Australia the approval from DDTC.
    (4) Authorized exporters identified in paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section who have exported a defense article or defense service that has 
subsequently been placed on the list of exempted items in Supplement 
No. 1 to part 126 of this subchapter must review and adhere to the 
requirements in the relevant Federal Register notice announcing such 
removal. Once removed, the defense article or defense service will no 
longer be subject to this section, and such defense article or defense 
service previously exported shall remain on the U.S. Munitions List and 
be subject to the requirements of this subchapter unless the applicable 
Federal Register notice states otherwise. Subsequent reexport or 
retransfer must be made pursuant to Sec.  123.9 of this subchapter.
    (5) Any defense article or defense service transitioned from a 
license or other approval to treatment under this section must be 
marked in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (j) of this 
section.

the United States Community identified in paragraph (b) of this 
section, any defense articles marked or identified pursuant to 
paragraph (j)(1)(ii) of this section as ``//RESTRICTED USML//REL AUS 
and USA Treaty Community//'' will be considered unclassified and the 
marking or identification shall be removed; and
    (3) The standard marking and identification requirements are as 
follows:
    (i) Defense articles (other than technical data) shall be 
individually labeled with the appropriate identification detailed in 
paragraphs (j)(1) and (j)(2) of this section; or, where such labeling 
is impracticable (e.g., propellants, chemicals), shall be accompanied 
by documentation (such as contracts or invoices) clearly associating 
the defense articles with the appropriate markings as detailed in 
paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and (j)(1)(ii) of this section;
    (ii) Technical data (including data packages, technical papers,

are authorized by the U.S. Government under the U.S.-Australia Defense 
Trade Cooperation Treaty for export only to Australia for use in 
approved projects, programs or operations by members of the Australian 
Community. They may not be retransferred or reexported or used outside
