Stagg PLLC invites you to attend our complimentary webinar on Writing Effective Public Comments for the Proposed Rule on ITAR Defense Services, which will take place on Tuesday, September 10, at 11:00 a.m. ET.
On July 29, the U.S. Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls published a proposed rule to substantially revise and expand controls on defense services under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This proposal is the fourth proposed rule by DDTC concerning defense services. It published the first proposed rule in 2011, the second in 2013, and the third in 2015.
The State Department will accept public comments on the proposed rule until September 27.
Our webinar will discuss how to prepare effective public comments regarding the proposed rule. Specifically, we will discuss the history of the defense services controls, the proposed rule, and effective strategies for public comments. The webinar will also discuss and provide strategies for the corresponding proposed revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) regarding activities by U.S. persons that support foreign military, security, or intelligence services.
Christopher Stagg, who was involved in the first three proposed rules for defense services, will share critical perspectives on the rulemaking process based on his experience writing export control regulations at the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, which included analyzing and responding to public comments, and his experience successfully advocating for regulatory revisions from the industry side.
