DDTC Updates Guidance on Open General License Pilot

The State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls recently updated its fact sheet and guidance for its open general license pilot program that was announced last year (see 2207200005) and extended in March (see 2303280034). Updated frequently asked questions clarify that the licenses allow for “demilitarization of defense articles,” specify that the licenses can’t be used to reexport or retransfer items subject to Commerce Department export controls and outline how long the pilot program is slated to last.
