PROGRAM FOCUS:
The two-day program is run by senior licensing specialists from the Department of Commerce (Bureau of Industry and Security), the Department of Defense (Defense Technology Security Administration), and the Department of State (Directorate of Defense Trade Controls). The program will cover the information exporters in the aerospace and related industries need to know to comply with U.S. export control requirements on both commercial and military goods. The program will include both presentations and panel discussions where your questions can be answered by the people who actually review your license applications.

Among the topics to be included:

• Establishing jurisdiction - is my item subject to State Department or Commerce Department licensing regulations?
• The essential elements of a good license application
• Country specific policies
• Technologies with high national security interest
• Helpful hints on making your case to the government
• Role of the Department of Defense
• Your role in helping the government keep the regulations consistent with the real world environment.

Note: This program is an advanced licensing seminar and is suited for those already versed in the basics of export controls.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS:
The program instructors are experienced export policy specialists, engineers and enforcement personnel from BIS, DTSA and DDTC Washington D.C. headquarters and field offices.

PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS:
If you have particular issues that you would like to have considered by the panels, please feel free to provide them to the coordinator or directly to Gene Christiansen at gchristi@bis.doc.gov before the actual program.
