Defense Trade Advisory Group; Notice of Open Meeting

    The Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG) will meet in open session 
from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 22, 2020. Based on 
federal and state guidance in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 
meeting will be held virtually. The virtual forum will open at 12:00 
p.m. The membership of this advisory committee consists of private 
sector defense trade representatives, appointed by the Assistant 
Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs, who advise the 
Department on policies, regulations, and technical issues affecting 
defense trade. The DTAG was established as an advisory committee under 
the authority of 22 U.S.C. Sections 2651a and 2656 and the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. The purpose of the meeting will 
be to discuss current defense trade issues and topics for further 
study. The following agenda topics will be discussed and final reports 
presented: (1) Provide feedback to DDTC as DDTC works to consolidate 
exemptions into a single part of the ITAR. (2) Help develop a 
comprehensive compliance risk matrix to help prevent ITAR violations 
and diversions by various business functions involved in ITAR 
activities. (3) suggest a draft (a) form or attachment that indicates 
when Part 130 information will be reported (e.g, annually, but in a 
separate filing, at the same time as the company's registration), and 
(b) Part 130 (annual) report form.
    The meeting will be held in WebEx. There will be one WebEx 
invitation for each attendee, and only the attendee should use the 
invitation. In addition, each attendee should access the virtual
