Christopher Stagg is presenting
on the rarely discussed topic of preparing effective public
comments for the two latest proposed rules under the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) involving the AUKUS-related
licensing exemption and registration fees.
WASHINGTON, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Stagg PLLC, a leading U.S. export controls
law firm, will host two complimentary webinars on "Preparing Public
Comments for the Latest ITAR Proposed Rules."
The first webinar will focus on a proposed rule under the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations to create a licensing
exemption for Australia and the
United Kingdom as part of the
AUKUS trilateral security partnership. The AUKUS partnership
involves providing Australia with
nuclear-powered attack submarines and sharing other sensitive
technologies. The public comment window closes on May 31, and this webinar will take place on
Thursday, May 23, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern.
The second webinar will focus on the proposed rule to increase
registration fees. The Arms Export Control Act, the statutory
authority for the International Traffic in Arms Regulations,
requires registration and a registration fee for certain persons
that manufacture defense articles or that export, temporarily
import, or broker defense articles and defense services. The public
comment window closes on June 10, and
this webinar will take place on Tuesday,
June 4, at 11:00 a.m.
Eastern.

rulemaking process based on his deep experience writing export
control regulations at the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls
