Why does DDTC require copies of the entire agreement file when processing a license 'in furtherance' of an agreement?
We continue to rely on a paper system when processing requests involving agreements. The inclusion of electronic agreements in future D-TRADE versions is critical to the improved processing of agreements and related licenses. In the meantime, this requirement was implemented to facilitate the review by the licensing officer of the license application. Previously, the licensing officer would have to retrieve and audit voluminous files to compile the necessary information to confirm hardware authorization. After further review, DDTC has reduced this requirement to copies of the agreement/ amendments and pertinent sections which relate to and authorize exports of hardware. A little more effort required on the part of the applicant but it will significantly shorten the review time.
