Ensuring institutional compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), 22 CFR 120-130, has become a priority for many institutions, particularly those conducting work under U.S. Department of Defense and NASA funded grants and contracts. This workshop will deliver practical information on how to prepare and submit Commodity Jurisdiction Requests (CJs) and export license applications, including Technical Assistance Agreements (TAAs) to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). Tips will also be provided on setting realistic processing timelines, avoiding applications from being rejected or "returned without action," and how to request changes to provisos and make amendments to TAAs. The materials for this workshop will be the ITAR and associated DDTC forms and guidelines. Workshop faculty will use real-world examples to facilitate learning and discussion among the participants. Actual case studies will be used to review the most common types of submissions universities make to DDTC (CJs, DSP-73s, DSP-83s, DSP-5s, TAAs), including issues related to licensing students who are not U.S. Persons. Workshop attendees will actively participate in the application process. Time will be allowed for questions, and participants will be provided with an opportunity to network with peers at other institutions who are responsible for the day-to-day oversight and management of ITAR compliance.
Participants should have an in-depth understanding of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR 120-130).
