47(7) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 and 2794(7)). Changes in
designations will be published in the Federal Register. Information and
clarifications on whether specific items are defense articles and services under
this subchapter may appear periodically in the Defense Trade News published by
the Center for Defense Trade.
(b) Significant military equipment: An asterisk precedes certain defense
articles in the following list. The asterisk means that the article is deemed to
be "significant military equipment" to the extent specified in @ 120.19. The

of the Department of Commerce upon establishment of a foreign policy control or
(2) in the case of spacecraft and related equipment, the item is under review by
an interagency space technical working group. The interagency review will result
in a recommendation as to whether an item should be moved to the jurisdiction of
the Department of Commerce or to USML category XV which was established for this
purpose.
