Unmarked Eng Data 2022.pdf

This is a memorandum from the Department of the Air Force addressing unmarked engineering data and export control requirements for vendors and contractors. Issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base on 2 February 2022, the memorandum establishes that any drawings without distribution statements and export control notices should be treated as marked "DISTRIBUTION D," restricting distribution to DoD and US DoD contractors only, with critical technology designation as of 2 February 2022. Other requests for the document must be referred to AFLCMC/LZPEF at Hill AFB, UT 84056.

The memorandum includes an attachment on export-controlled technical data, which outlines the legal framework governing the dissemination of technical information. The document warns that unauthorized export or release of technical data controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulation (EAR) violates federal law and carries severe criminal penalties, including imprisonment and substantial fines. The U.S. Government assumes no liability for patent infringement, data accuracy, or damages resulting from use of furnished technical data. Qualified U.S. contractors receiving this data are prohibited from unauthorized dissemination, and a copy of the export control notice must accompany any reproduction or sharing of the data. The document references Vickie Inlow (vickie.inlow@us.af.mil, 801-777-6228) for questions regarding export-controlled technical data.
