Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Exports and Temporary Imports Made to or on Behalf of a Department or Agency of the U.S. Government 
Abstract:

The Department of State amends the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to: 1) Clarify regulations pertaining to the export of items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR); 2) revise the licensing exemption in ITAR 126.4 for exports made to or on behalf of an agency of the U.S. Government; 3) revise the destination control statement in ITAR 123.9 to harmonize the language with the EAR; and 4) make several minor edits for clarity. This final rule is published in conjunction with a Department of Commerce rule (RIN 0694-AG47) revising the destination control statement in 15 CFR 758.6 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), to harmonize the ITAR with the Department of Commerce EAR. Both final rules being published by the Departments of Commerce and State are part of the President's Export Control Reform Initiative. The revisions contained in this rule are part of the Department of State’s retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563.
