On October 15, 2018, the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) posted on a website a notice stating that Test versions of DDTC’s new Registration and Advisory Opinion (AO) applications, housed on the cloud-based Defense Export Control and Compliance System (DECCS), will be available for industry testing and feedback starting October 16th through mid-November 2018. The posting states:

If you are interested in participating in testing, please contact the DDTC Test Support Team at the number or email below to sign up and receive further guidance. Please note that in order to participate each individual tester will be required to sign a DECCS UAT Terms of Use document to ensure users understand the testing process and guidelines.

We encourage you to begin the testing process as early in the test period as possible. Additional applications will be available for testing in the coming weeks and will require a test account and a complete test registration in order to access them.
