October 15 Deadline to Confirm Compliance of Licenses and Approved Agreement for Aircraft, Aircraft Engines and Aircraft Parts and Components

On 15 October 2013, as part of the US Government’s Export Control Reform (ECR), the US Departments of State and Commerce transitioned certain military aircraft, aircraft engines and aircraft parts and components from the United States Munitions List (USML) of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to the Commerce Control List (CCL) of the EAR. Any license involving these transitioning items may become invalid on the two year anniversary, 15 October 2015. Licenses involving items that remain on the USML will remain valid until expired or returned by the license holder, unless otherwise revoked, suspended, or terminated. Any Technical Assistance Agreements (TAAs) or Manufacturing License Agreements (MLAs) involving transitioning items may also become invalid on 15 October 2015 unless amended properly.
