SUMMARY: The Department of State is lifting the policy of denial for 
Tula Instrument Design Bureau pursuant to

[[Page 28849]]

section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and section 126.7 of 
the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

DATES: Effective Date: May 24, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa V. Studtmann, Director, Office of 
Defense Trade Controls Compliance, Bureau of Political-Military 
Affairs, Department of State (202) 663-2477.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 126.7 of the ITAR provides that any 
application for an export license or other approval under the ITAR may 
be disapproved and any license or other approval or exemption granted 
may be revoked, suspended, or amended without prior notice whenever, 
among other things, the Department of State believes that section 38 of 
the AECA (22 U.S.C. 2778), any regulation contained in the ITAR, or the 
terms of any U.S. Government export authorization (including terms of a 
manufacturing license or technical assistance agreement, or export 
authorization granted pursuant to the Export Administration Act, as 
amended) has been violated by any party to the export or other person 
having a significant interest in the transaction; or whenever the 
Department of State deems such action to be in furtherance of world 
peace, the national security or the foreign policy of the United 
States, or is otherwise advisable. A determination was made on May 12, 
2010, that it is in the foreign policy or national security interests 
of the United States to remove the restrictions imposed on Tula 
Instrument Design Bureau pursuant to Section 126.7 of the ITAR.

    Dated: May 17, 2010.
Andrew J. Shapiro,
Assistant Secretary, Department of State.
