Section 405 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act) requires all agencies who oversee imports and exports to participate in the International Trade Data System (ITDS), an integrated web portal which will serve as the primary means by which importers and exporters provide required documentation and data to Federal agencies. Executive Order 13659 requires Federal agencies to implement ITDS by December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the Department of State published a Final Rule (1405-AE07) amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to allow for the implementation of ITDS.

ITDS allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to electronically verify and decrement licenses at U.S. ports. This change request amends the supporting statements of four Department of State information collections by including a short discussion of CBP’s use of the information in question two. This non-substantive change request does not request to make changes to the approved forms.
