Unmarked Eng Data 2022.pdf

This document is a memorandum from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base regarding unmarked engineering data with critical export control restrictions. The memorandum, dated 2 February 2022, provides guidance for vendors and contractors handling technical data, specifically emphasizing that any drawings without distribution statements must be treated as having "Distribution D" authorization - meaning distribution is limited to Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors only.

The document includes a detailed warning about export control regulations, noting that unauthorized dissemination of these technical documents could result in severe criminal penalties under the Arms Export Control Act and Export Administration Act. Penalties can include fines up to $100,000, imprisonment of up to 10 years, or both, depending on the specific export regulation violated. The memo instructs recipients that unauthorized distribution may disqualify a contractor from future Department of Defense contracts and includes a disclaimer that the U.S. Government assumes no liability for the technical data's accuracy, completeness, or potential misuse.
