  • Sale and Export of US-Made Arms to Foreign Entities
    Transfer of Defense Articles: Sale and Export of U.S.-Made Arms to Foreign Entities April 30, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46337 SUMMARY R46337 Transfer of Defense Articles: Sale and Export of April 30, 2020 U.S.-Made Arms to Foreign Entities Nathan J. Lucas The sale and export of U.S.-origin weapons to foreign countries (“defense articles and defense Section Research Manager services,” officially) are governed by an extensive set of laws, regulations, policies, and procedures. Congress has authorized such sales under two laws: Michael J. Vassalotti Section Research Manager The Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) of 1961, 22 U.S.C. §2151, et seq. The Arms Export Control Act (AECA) of 1976, 22 U.S.C. §2751, et seq. The FAA and AECA govern all transfers of U.S.-origin defense articles and services, whether they are commercial sales, government-to-government sales, or security assistance/security cooperation grants (or building partnership capacity programs provided by U.S. military personnel). These measures can be provided by Title 22 (Foreign Relations) or Title 10 (Armed Services) authorities. Arms sold or transferred under these authorities are regulated by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the U.S. Munitions List (USML), which are located in Title 22, Parts 120-130 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The two main methods for the sale and export of U.S.-made weapons are the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program and Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) licenses. Some other arms sales occur from current Department of Defense (DOD) stocks through Excess Defense Articles (EDA) provisions.

  • Arms Sales Topic Terms, P
    Arms Sales Topic Terms, p. 1 TERMS IN USE ON THE ARMS SALES TOPIC Dr. Rich Edwards Professor of Communication Studies Baylor University Arms Export Control Act (AECA): This 1976 legislation is an amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and remains the primary law governing arms sales. The AECA requires that the executive branch must provide advance notice to Congress of any major arms sale, offering to them the opportunity to block the sale if they should see fit. The AECA also requires quarterly and annual reports to Congress on overall arms sales totals by country and type of equipment. The U.S. Department of State offered the following summary: “The Arms Export Control Act (AECA) is the cornerstone of U.S. munitions export control law. The Department of State implements this statute by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). All persons or entities that engage in the manufacture, export or brokering of defense articles and services must be registered with the U.S. government. The ITAR sets out the requirements for licenses or other authorizations for specific exports of defense articles and services. The AECA requires the State Department to provide an annual and quarterly report of export authorizations to Congress. Certain proposed export approvals and reports of unauthorized re-transfers also require congressional notification.” Arms Trade Treaty (ATT): The UN General Assembly passed the ATT on April 2, 2013 by a vote of 154 to 3. The Treaty entered into force on December 24, 2014. Though the United States has signed this Treaty, it has not been ratified by the U.S.

  • Interagency Review of U.S. Export Controls for China
    January 31, 2007 PREFACE We are providing this interagency report for your information and use. This review was conducted as a cooperative effort by the Offices of Inspector General in the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, State, and the Central Intelligence Agency. Public Law 106-65, “National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2000,” section 1402 requires that the Offices of Inspector General (OIGs) prepare an annual report for Congress through 2007 on the transfer of militarily sensitive technology to countries and entities of concern. The Act further requires that the Inspectors General of the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Energy, and State, in consultation with the Directors of Central Intelligence and the Federal Bureau of Investigation,1 conduct an annual review of the adequacy of export control policies and procedures in the U.S. Government. An amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2001 requires the Inspectors General to report on the status of recommendations made in prior annual reports. This year2 the OIGs conducted an interagency review of U.S. export controls for the People’s Republic of China. This report discusses issues that affect more than one agency and includes separate appendixes containing the agency-specific reports. The report is in three volumes: • Volume I contains the interagency findings and reports from the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Energy, and State OIGs. • Volume II, marked For Official Use Only, contains the agency-specific report that the Department of Homeland Security OIG issued, and a followup report on recommendations made in previous years by the OIGs. • Volume III, classified as Secret, contains the agency-specific report issued by the Central Intelligence Agency OIG, as well as an appendix to the Department of Commerce OIG’s report.
