Abstract of Proposed Collection

    Pursuant to ITAR section 120.4, a person, as defined by ITAR 
section 120.14, may request a written determination from the Department 
of State stating whether a particular article or defense service is 
covered by the United States Munitions List (USML). Form DS-4076 is the 
means by which respondents may submit this request. Information 
submitted via DS-4076 will be shared with the Department of Defense, 
Department of Commerce, and other USG agencies, as needed, during the 
commodity jurisdiction process. Determinations will be made on a case-
by-case basis based on the commodity's form, fit, function, and 
performance capability.

Methodology

    Respondents must generally submit the DS-4076 electronically 
through DDTC's electronic system. Respondents may access the DS-4076 on 
DDTC's website, www.pmddtc.state.gov, under ``Commodity Jurisdictions 
(CJs).'' Respondents who are unable to access DDTC's website may mail a 
signed DS-4076, along with a brief cover letter explaining their 
inability to file the electronic DS-4076, to the Office of Defense 
Trade Controls Policy, Department of State, 2401 E St. NW, Suite H1304, 
Washington, DC 20522.
