No brokering activities or proposal to engage in brokering activities may be carried out or pursued by any person without the prior written approval of the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls in the case of other countries or persons identified from time to time by the Department of State through notice in the Federal Register, with respect to which certain limitations on defense articles or defense services are imposed for reasons of U.S. national security or foreign policy or law enforcement interests (e.g., an individual subject to debarment pursuant to § 127.7 of this subchapter).
