129.4—Registration statement and fees.
(a) General.
The Department of State Form DS-2032 (Statement of Registration) and the transmittal letter meeting the requirements of § 122.2(b) of this subchapter must be submitted by an intended registrant with a payment by check, payable to the Department of State, of the fees prescribed in Section 122.3(a) of this subchapter. Foreign brokers must submit a check in U.S. dollars payable through a U.S. financial institution that includes the registrant's legal name and address on the check. The Statement of Registration and transmittal letter must be signed by a senior officer (e.g., Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary, Partner, Member, Treasurer, General Counsel) who has been empowered by the intended registrant to sign such documents. The intended registrant shall also submit documentation that demonstrates that it is incorporated or otherwise authorized to do business in the United States. The requirement to submit a Department of State Form DS-2032 and to submit documentation demonstrating incorporation or authorization to do business in the United States does not exclude foreign persons from the requirement to register. Foreign persons who are required to register shall provide information that is substantially similar in content as that which a U.S. person would provide under this provision (e.g., foreign business license or similar authorization to do business). The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls will notify the registrant if the Statement of Registration is incomplete either by notifying the registrant of what information is required or through the return of the entire registration package with payment. Registrants may not establish new entities for the purpose of reducing registration fees.
(b)
A person required to register under this part who is already registered as a manufacturer or exporter in accordance with part 122 of this subchapter must also provide notification of this additional activity by submitting to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls by registered mail a transmittal letter meeting the requirements of § 122.2(b) and citing the existing registration, and must pay an additional fee according to the schedule prescribed in § 122.3(a). Any person who registers coincidentally as a broker as defined in § 129.2 of this subchapter and as a manufacturer or exporter must submit a Statement of Registration that reflects the brokering activities, the § 122.2(b) transmittal letter, as well as the additional fee for registration as a broker.
(c)
Other provisions of part 122, in particular, § 122.4 concerning notification of changes in information furnished by registrants and § 122.5 concerning maintenance of records by registrants, apply equally to registration under this part ( part 129 ).
