Technical Data and Computer Software Rights

Volume II, Tab 1D Attachments 1 and 2 shall be properly marked in accordance with the DD Form 254 and the DoD 5220.22M NISPOM.

Unclassified paragraphs, pages, and Attachments may be included within the Technical Volume using the referenced marking instructions.
