From the notice

On September 18, 2026, the Department of State revised the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to clarify certain policy-of-denial provisions, update country policies for Ethiopia and Somalia, add Saudi Arabia and Peru to the list of major non-NATO allies, and make other miscellaneous corrections. That document included incorrect amendatory instructions resulting in the inadvertent removal of regulatory text. This document corrects the final regulations.
