Unmarked Eng Data 2022.pdf

This is a Department of Air Force memorandum dated February 2, 2022, regarding unmarked engineering data, issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The document establishes distribution and export control requirements for engineering drawings that lack distribution statements.

The memorandum specifies that any unmarked drawings should be treated as Distribution D materials, limited to DoD and US DoD contractors only, and designated as Critical Technology. It includes strict export control warnings under the Arms Export Control Act and Export Administration Act, with potential penalties including up to 2 years imprisonment and $100,000 fines for ITAR violations, or up to 10 years imprisonment and $250,000 fines for EAR violations. The document emphasizes that unauthorized dissemination could result in contractor disqualification and impact future DoD contract eligibility. This guidance appears related to a federal contract opportunity for F-16 electronics components, where technical data access is restricted to qualified sources Lockheed Martin and Elbit.
