Which entity is not listed as a reviewer for commodity jurisdiction requests?

• A. DDTC
• B. DTSA
• C. BIS
• D. OFAC

Answer: (D)

Commodity jurisdiction reviews determine whether an item falls under ITAR control (State) or EAR control (Commerce). The process is led by the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, with coordination from Commerce (through BIS and its related trade controls office) when EAR jurisdiction may apply. OFAC handles sanctions programs and embargoes, not the ITAR/EAR jurisdiction determination, so it does not participate in CJ reviews. That’s why this entity is not listed as a reviewer.
