    Abstract of proposed collection: The export, temporary import, and 
brokering of defense articles, defense services, and related technical 
data are licensed by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) 
in accordance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations 
(``ITAR,'' 22 CFR parts 120-130) and Section 38 of the Arms Export 
Control Act.
    ITAR Sec.  126.18 eliminates, subject to certain conditions, the 
requirement for an approval by DDTC for the reexport of unclassified 
defense articles, which includes technical data, to individuals who are 
dual or third-country national employees of a foreign business entity, 
foreign governmental entity, or international organization that is an 
authorized end-user, foreign signatory, or consignee (including 
transfers to approved sub-licensees) for defense articles, including 
the transfer to dual nationals or third-country nationals who are bona 
fide regular employees of the foreign business entity, foreign 
governmental entity, or international organization.
    To use ITAR Sec.  126.18, effective procedures must be in place to 
prevent diversion to any destination, entity, or for purposes other 
than those authorized by the applicable export license or other 
authorization. Those conditions can be met under Sec.  126.18(c)(1) by 
requiring a security clearance approved by the host nation government 
for its employees, or under Sec.  126.18(c)(2) by the end-user or 
consignee having in place a process to screen its employees and to have 
executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement that provides assurances that the 
employee will not transfer any defense articles to persons or entities 
unless specifically authorized by the consignee or end-user. ITAR Sec.  
126.18(c)(2) also provides that the technology security/clearance plans 
and screening records shall be made available to DDTC or its agents for 
civil or criminal law enforcement purposes upon request.
    Methodology: When information kept on file pursuant to this 
recordkeeping requirement is required to be sent to the Directorate of 
Defense Trade Controls, it may be sent electronically or by mail 
according to guidance given by DDTC.

    Dated: August 22, 2016.

Managing Director, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, Department of 
State.
