Seize the Opportunity to Review & Test State/DDTC’s Electronic Disclosure Form!

The Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) has published the following notice on their website:

Industry Notice: Industry Feedback on Electronic Disclosures (DS-7787) (4.12.18) DDTC is developing an electronic version of the current DS-7787: Disclosure of Violations of the Arms Export Control Act form, also known as Disclosures. As an alternative to paper and mail, the online version will allow Industry personnel to submit Disclosures directly through DDTC’s Defense Export Compliance and Control System (DECCS). In an effort to improve this electronic form, DDTC is enabling a test version of the new online process for Industry feedback between April 16, 2018 – April 30, 2018, prior to it being publicly available online. If you are interested in participating, please visit https://pmddtcqa.service-now.com/um/ for more information on how to access and use the test version. Once you have completed testing, you can submit feedback or comments through the Provide feedback button.

As disclosures are an important part of compliance programs, this is a great opportunity to see what DDTC is developing and help make it more useful and user-friendly in the future.
