The bill amends the Arms Export Control Act to provide exemptions and alterations related to defense articles and services specifically involving Australia and the United Kingdom.

  • 22 U.S.C. 2778(l)

    Defense articles sold by the United States under this Act may be reexported, retransferred or temporarily imported exclusively between the Government of Australia, the Government of the United Kingdom, or entities eligible under section 126.7(b)(2) of title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or successor regulations. Such transfers shall not require the consent of the President under section 3(a)(2) of this Act, or under section 505(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2314(a)(1)(B)).

    This change allows defense articles sold to Australia and the UK to be transferred among those governments without needing presidential consent.

  • 22 U.S.C. 2778(l)

    Intra-company, intra-organization, and intra-governmental transfers related to defense articles and defense services described under subparagraph (A) are authorized between officers, employees, and agents who satisfy section 120.64 of title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or successor regulations, including dual or third country nationals who satisfy section 126.18 of title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or successor regulations.

    This provision permits internal transfers among related entities regarding defense articles and services without requiring additional approvals.

  • 22 U.S.C. 2776(d)(2)

    A certification → (A) A certification

    This change designates the certification as part of a list (clause A) instead of it being standalone.

  • 22 U.S.C. 2776(d)(2)

    North Atlantic Treaty Organization or Australia, Japan → North Atlantic Treaty Organization (excluding the United Kingdom) or Japan

    This amendment modifies the certification requirements by excluding the UK from NATO-related agreements.

  • 22 U.S.C. 2776(d)(2)

    A certification under this subsection shall not be required in the case of an agreement for or in Australia or the United Kingdom.
