Title: Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls Filing Requirement and Clarifications to Current Requirements 
Abstract:

The Census Bureau issues this final rule amending its regulations to reflect new export reporting requirements related to the State Department, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) Category XXI Determination Number.  Specifically, the Census Bureau is adding a conditional data element, DDTC Category XXI Determination Number, when 21 is selected in the DDTC USML Category Code field in the Automated Export System (AES) to represent United States Munitions List (USML) Category XXI.  In addition, this rule makes remedial changes to the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) to update International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) references in existing data elements: DDTC Significant Military Equipment Indicator and DDTC Eligible Party Certification Indicator.  This rule also makes remedial changes to the FTR that were originally proposed in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published December 15, 2021 and May 3, 2023.
