Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The ITAR requires that persons registered with DDTC maintain 
records pertaining to defense trade-related transactions. This 
information collection approves the record-keeping requirements imposed 
on registrants by the ITAR. Respondents to this collection may submit 
their records to DDTC as supporting documentation for disclosures of 
potential violations of the AECA. The method by which respondents 
submit these records is approved under OMB Control No. 1405-0179. DDTC 
uses these records to analyze registrant compliance processes and 
procedures, and to help assess whether potential AECA or ITAR 
violations merit administrative sanctions or referral to the Department 
of Justice for possible criminal prosecution.

Methodology

    Respondents may maintain records in any format consistent with the 
provisions in ITAR Sec.  122.5.

    Dated: February 20, 2018.

Managing Director (Acting), Directorate of Defense Trade Controls,
