The Obama administration has released a set of proposed changes that would streamline US export restrictions for military and dual-use aircraft and associated components. US aerospace industry leaders have long contended that the export control system, which is overseen by five separate government agencies, is burdensome to business dealings. The administration announced on 7 November that it would move aircraft components from a restrictive State Department-controlled International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) list to a streamlined Commerce Control List (CCL) regulated by the Commerce Department. Items on the US Munitions List (USML) are all subject to the same controls regardless of their sensitivity. The CCL, however, has rules tailored to each type of item as well as its export destination. The draft list is the second section of ITAR to undergo revision since officials began a review last year. The section on land vehicles has been drafted and another on space vehicles is pending. There are 21 categories of items controlled by the USML in total.
