The USML is located in the ITAR, not in the EAR.

• A. ITAR
• B. EAR
• C. FTR
• D. ECCN

Answer: (A)

The list that names defense articles and related technologies sits under ITAR, not under the EAR. The United States Munitions List (USML) enumerates defense items and services and is governed by ITAR, which is administered by the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. Items on the USML require licenses from DDTC and are subject to stringent controls, regardless of destination. By contrast, the EAR covers civilian and dual-use items, organized under the Commerce Control List with classifications using ECCN numbers, and licenses are handled by BIS. Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) deal with reporting and documentation, not with what is controlled. So the USML being located in ITAR is the correct understanding.
