As a result of Export Control Reform….
The Office of Defense Trade Controls Licensing (DTCL) will be reorganized into four operational divisions:
- Space, Missile and Sensor Systems
- Electronic and Training Systems
- Sea, Land and Air Systems
- Light Weapons and Personal Protective Equipment Systems
In addition, the Plans, Personnel, Programs and Procedures division will consolidate many of the functions previously included as well as those that were distributed across other parts of DTCL.
State Department has announced that effective date for these changes is April 20.
The reason is that export control reform has caused a 36 percent drop in licensing volume and created a disparity in the volume of cases among the current divisions. In addition, since 2013 DTCL has experienced some downsizing through attrition. This new organizational structure will be leaner and appropriately balance personnel and commodity volume to reflect the post-ECR environment while enabling DTCL to work toward meeting the directorate’s strategic goals.
