    The Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG) will meet in open session

maximize accessibility and attendance while recognizing ongoing 
concerns related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), 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

Act, 5 U.S.C. app.
    The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss current defense trade

Controls (DDTC) asked the DTAG to complete the following taskings, 
which will be discussed and presented: (1) identify current industry 
practices for reporting information required under the Arms Export 
Control Act (AECA) section 36(b)(1) to the Departments of State and/or 
Defense, and provide recommendations to ensure these Departments would 
receive this same information if DDTC were to move to an annual part 
130 reporting requirement, (2) review the interaction between section 
120.43(a) and (b)(1), and section 121.1 ``developmental'' entries and 
recommend clarifications, if necessary, to better illustrate the two 
phases and when a transition from one stage to the other occurs, and 
(3) identify factors that parent companies take into consideration to 
ensure joint ventures comply with various International Traffic in Arms 
Regulations (ITAR) requirements, and that DTAG also provide the 
industry perspective on any related challenges.
