9 Subject Activities §129.2 Definitions. (b) Brokering activities means any action on behalf of another to facilitate the manufacture, export, import, or transfer of a U.S. or foreign defense article or defense service, irrespective of its origin. (1) Such action includes, but is not limited to: (i) Financing, insuring, transporting, or freight forwarding defense articles and defense services; or (ii) Soliciting, promoting, negotiating, contracting for, arranging, or otherwise assisting in the purchase, sale, transfer, loan, or lease of a defense article or defense service. (2) Such action does not include: (i) Activities by a U.S. person in the United States that are limited exclusively to U.S. domestic sales or transfers (e.g., not for export); (ii) Activities by employees of the U.S. Government acting in an official capacity; (iii) Activities that do not extend beyond administrative services, such as providing or arranging office space and equipment, hospitality, advertising, or clerical, visa, or translation services, or activities by an attorney that do not extend beyond providing legal advice to their client; or (iv) Activities performed by an affiliate on behalf of another affiliate.

10 New Definition § Affiliate. An affiliate of a registrant is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such registrant. Note: For purposes of this subsection, control means having the authority or ability to establish or direct the general policies or day-to-day operations of the firm. Control is presumed to exist where there is ownership of 25 percent or more of the outstanding voting securities if no other person controls an equal or larger percentage.

11 Concerns 129.2(b) activities regarding promoting/soliciting Lack of a clear line as to when brokering begins versus preliminary/basic marketing US Person (Consultant) introduces your company to a foreign government for a “specific” opportunity is brokering. Otherwise, general introduction or data/information gathering is not. Normal activities by Trade Associations and Business Councils might be captured as brokers/brokering activities Exemptions from Approval Does not include scenarios where parties are already named on a specific ITAR authorization (potential double licensing situation)
