**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
The Department is amending ITAR § 126.1 pursuant to recent UNSCRs. Additionally, the Department is making other corrections and clarifications to the ITAR in this rule, including revising ITAR § 120.23 paragraph (a) to amend the list of NATO members to add Finland and Sweden and revise the reference to the Czech Republic to Czechia; paragraph (b) to amend the list of major non-NATO allies by adding Colombia, Kenya, and Qatar and removing Afghanistan; paragraph (c) to amend the list of countries in the Wassenaar Arrangement by revising the reference to the Czech Republic to Czechia; removing duplicative references to the Russian Federation from ITAR § 120.54(a)(5)(iv) and (v); revising ITAR § 126.1(a) to improve its readability by restructuring it to set out its existing exceptions as discreet subparagraphs; and updating the table associated with ITAR § 126.1(d)(2).
The ITAR § 126.1 changes found in this rule are as follows:
**Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)**
On June 27, 2024, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted Resolution 2738 to support efforts promoting peace and stability in the DRC against continued threats from armed groups operating in the country. In addition to renewing the United Nations (UN) arms embargo against non-governmental entities and individuals, this resolution reaffirmed there is no longer a requirement to pre-notify the DRC Sanctions Committee of shipments of arms and related materiel to the DRC Government, or any provision to the DRC Government of assistance, advice, or training related to military activities in the DRC. The Department is amending ITAR § 126.1(i) to remove this pre-notification requirement. In addition, the Department is amending paragraph (i) by inserting an “or” between the final two paragraphs describing situations in which a license or other approval may be issued. The “or” was inadvertently omitted when the entry was amended by 81 FR 66804, Sept. 29, 2016.
**Haiti**
On October 18, 2024, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2752, which renewed and revised the UN arms embargo on Haiti. This resolution was intended to further support the Haitian Government's efforts to counter increasing gang violence and criminality that threaten regional peace and stability. The Department is amending ITAR § 126.1(j) to implement recent changes to the UN arms embargo on Haiti related to exports, and the Department is choosing to maintain the inclusion of imports in ITAR § 126.1(j) for policy reasons. Because this amendment involves the removal of paragraph (j)(2), the Department also takes this opportunity to restructure the entry to be consistent with the format for other entries in that section. First, ITAR § 126.1(j) is revised to include the standard policy text previously found at paragraph (j)(1) and the subsequent subordinate paragraphs are redesignated from (i) through (iii) to (1) through (3). Second, new paragraph (j)(1) (formerly (j)(1)(i)) is revised to broaden the existing text to allow for case-by-case consideration of defense article and defense service exports “to or by,” instead of “to,” recipients identified in the paragraph. Third, new paragraph (j)(2) (formerly paragraph (j)(1)(ii)) is revised to permit consideration on a case-by-case basis of exports of defense articles and defense services to Haiti that have been pre-approved by the UNSC Haiti Sanctions Committee. Finally, new paragraph (j)(3) (formerly paragraph (j)(1)(iii)) is revised to permit case-by-case consideration of exports to Haiti of non-lethal military equipment solely for humanitarian or protective use and related technical assistance or training, when intended to further the objectives of peace and stability in Haiti, thereby broadening an existing exclusion for personal protective equipment. In line with these changes, the Department is also amending this paragraph to remove former paragraph (j)(2).
**Libya**
To support the political stabilization of Libya, and in response to concerns about the growing influence of armed groups in the country, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2769 on January 16, 2025. This revised the existing UN arms embargo by excluding from its scope defense services for the sole purpose of promoting reunification of Libyan military and security institutions, as well as temporary exports of defense articles in support of those activities, as notified in advance to the UNSC Libya Sanctions Committee. Additionally, another exclusion was added for temporary exports to Libya of military aircraft and naval vessels delivering items not otherwise subject to the UN arms embargo, along with any defense articles that remain aboard the vessel or aircraft while in Libya. The resolution also contains an exception for protective clothing for personal use by UN, media, humanitarian, and development personnel and others; small arms, light weapons, and related materiel to certain actors when pre-notified to the UNSC Libya Sanctions Committee; non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use, and certain other exceptions. The Department is amending ITAR § 126.1(k) to implement these changes and to remove the existing (k)(1) paragraph, which was removed from the UN arms embargo exclusions through UNSC Resolution 2009 on September 16, 2011.
**Somalia**
On December 1, 2023, the UNSC adopted two resolutions intended to refocus its arms embargo in support of the Government of the Federal Republic of Somalia's efforts to counter Al-Shabaab, a terrorist group in Somalia. The first, Resolution 2713, applied a comprehensive arms embargo on all deliveries of weapons, ammunition, and military equipment to Somalia with exceptions for deliveries to the Government of the Federal Republic of Somalia, the Somali National Army, the Somali National Intelligence and Security Agency, the Somali National Police Force, and the Somali Custodial Corps, as well as certain other exceptions in the resolution. The second, Resolution 2714, formally lifted the prior nationwide arms embargo on Somalia that had been in place since the adoption of Resolution 733 in 1992. These measures were reauthorized and modified in Resolution 2776 on March 3, 2025. The Department is amending ITAR § 126.1(m) to implement these changes.
**Central African Republic (CAR)**
On July 30, 2024, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2745, which modified the existing UN arms embargo toward CAR in recognition of the country's security sector reforms and the continuing need to ensure peace and stability within its borders. This resolution lifted the arms embargo for CAR and the associated UNSC Central African Republic Sanctions Committee reporting requirements while the arms embargo remains in place for armed groups and associated individuals operating within CAR. The Department is amending ITAR § 126.1(u) to update the regulations with the corresponding changes adopted through Resolution 2745.
**Sudan**
On September 11, 2024, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2750, which renewed the UN arms embargo on Sudan in response to continuing conflict in Darfur. The Department is amending ITAR § 126.1(v) to implement this resolution and prior provisions through the deletion of ITAR § 126.1(v)(4), which allowed for a case-by-case review of licenses or other approvals involving assistance and supplies provided in support of implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. This removal requires minor conforming changes to paragraphs (v)(2) and (v)(3).
**South Sudan**
On May 30, 2024, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2731, which renewed the UN arms embargo on South Sudan in response to sustained civil strife within the country. This embargo does not apply to defense article and defense service exports to UN personnel and certain UN-authorized missions; non-lethal military equipment and related technical assistance for humanitarian or protective use, as notified in advance to the UNSC South Sudan Sanctions Committee; protective clothing for the personal use of UN personnel, media members, and humanitarian and development workers and associated personnel; arms and related material temporarily exported by a state to protect or evacuate its people as notified to the UNSC South Sudan Sanctions Committee; arms and related material, including technical assistance, to or in support of the African Union Regional Task Force for the purpose of countering the Lord's Resistance Army as notified to the UNSC South Sudan Sanctions Committee; arms and related material, including technical assistance, to support peace agreement implementation as pre-approved by the UNSC South Sudan Sanctions Committee; and other arms and technical assistance pre-approved by the UNSC South Sudan Sanctions Committee. The arms embargo was previously revised on May 26, 2022, through Resolution 2633, which created an exclusion for exports of non-lethal military equipment solely in support of peace agreement implementation when pre-notified to the UNSC South Sudan Sanctions Committee. It was also previously revised on May 30, 2023, by Resolution 2683, which removed the pre-notification requirement on that new exclusion. The Department is amending ITAR § 126.1(w) to reflect these UNSC resolutions.
Other corrections and clarifications found in this rule are as follows:
• In § 120.23, paragraph (a), references to Finland and Sweden are added to the list of member states of NATO and the reference to the Czech Republic is revised to Czechia; in paragraph (b), Qatar, Colombia, and Kenya are added, and Afghanistan is removed from the list of countries designated as major non-NATO allies, see 87 FR 15025, Mar. 17, 2022, 87 FR 32943, May 31, 2022, 89 FR 57055, July 12, 2024, and 87 FR 60057, Oct. 4, 2022, respectively; and in paragraph (c), the reference to the Czech Republic is revised to Czechia.
• In ITAR § 120.54(a)(5)(iv) and (v), the Russian Federation is removed, as the country was added to ITAR § 126.1 by 86 FR 14802, Mar. 18, 2021.
• ITAR § 126.1(a) is restructured without substantive changes to improve its clarity.
• In § 126.1, table 2 to paragraph (d)(2) is amended by inverting the entries for Ethiopia and Eritrea to be in the correct alphabetical order, and reinserting an entry for Cambodia, which was inadvertently omitted from the directional table by 89 FR 18796, Mar. 15, 2024. Although omitted from the table, the Department notes that paragraph (o) is the controlling provision, and not the alphabetically sorted table 2 to paragraph (d)(2), which is included as a guide to assist the reader in locating the relevant country paragraph. Because of its inclusion at paragraph (o), Cambodia remained subject to the policy to deny licenses or other approvals for exports and imports of defense articles and defense services, except as otherwise provided, during its absence from the table.
• In § 126.1(l), the Department amends the paragraph regarding the policy towards Russia to eliminate from the regulatory text the expired exception allowing case-by-case review of requests for authorization for commercial space launches (see 86 FR 14802, Mar. 18, 2021).
• In § 126.1, as part of its reorganization efforts to standardize text throughout the ITAR when otherwise revising a section, the Department amends certain paragraphs in order to adopt a uniform style of list regarding exceptions to the original policy statement of the introductory text of each paragraph. Whereas previously the exceptions lists concluded with either an “and” or an “or” between the penultimate and final exceptions of the list, the Department amends affected paragraphs in this section to use “or” where appropriate. These changes are to paragraphs (f)(1) and (j)(2). A similar revision is described above in the preamble text specific to the DRC.
**Regulatory Analysis and Notices**
**Administrative Procedure Act**
This rulemaking is exempt from the rulemaking requirements of section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1) as a military or foreign affairs function of the United States.
**Regulatory Flexibility Act**
Since this rule is exempt from the notice-and-comment provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553, the rule does not require analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
**Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995**
This rulemaking does not involve a mandate that will result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any year, and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions are deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.
**Congressional Review Act**
The Department does not believe this rulemaking is a major rule within the definition of 5 U.S.C. 804.
**Executive Orders 12372 and 13132**
This rulemaking does not have sufficient federalism implications to require consultations or warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. The regulations implementing Executive Order 12372 regarding intergovernmental consultation on Federal programs and activities do not apply to this rulemaking.
**Executive Orders 12866, 14192, and 13563**
Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Orders 13563, directs agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health, and safety effects). As a result of this change, certain exemptions to licensing requirements will not be available for exports, and temporary imports destined for or originating in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Libya, Somalia, South Sudan, or Sudan. However, a license or other approval may be issued on a case-by-case basis as described below. Because the scope of this rule does not impose significant additional regulatory requirements or obligations, the Department believes costs associated with this rule will be minimal. This rule is exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 14192 because it relates to a foreign affairs function of the United States. This rule has been designated a “non-significant regulatory action” by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs under Executive Order 12866.
**Executive Order 12988**
The Department of State has reviewed this rulemaking in light of Executive Order 12988 to eliminate ambiguity, minimize litigation, establish clear legal standards, and reduce burden.
**Executive Order 13175**
The Department of State determined that this rulemaking will not have tribal implications, will not impose substantial direct compliance costs on Indian tribal governments, and will not preempt tribal law. Accordingly, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rulemaking.
**Paperwork Reduction Act**
This rulemaking does not impose or revise any information collections subject to 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
**List of Subjects**
Arms and munitions, Classified information, Exports.
Arms and munitions, Exports, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Technical assistance.
