Unmarked Eng Data 2022.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Vendors/Contractors from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, issued on February 2, 2022, regarding the handling of unmarked engineering data.

The memorandum addresses the proper classification and distribution of engineering drawings that do not contain distribution statements and export control notices. Any such unmarked drawings should be treated as marked with "DISTRIBUTION D," which restricts distribution to Department of Defense and US DoD contractors only, with a classification date of February 2, 2022. Other requests for the document must be referred to AFLCMC/LZPEF at Hill AFB. The memorandum emphasizes that the data set contains technical data subject to export control restrictions under the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C., Section 2751) and the Export Administration Act of 1979 (Title 50, U.S.C., Appendix 2401). Violations of these export laws carry severe criminal penalties, including imprisonment up to two years and fines up to $100,000, or fines up to five times the export value for certain violations. Contractors must comply with DoD Directive 5230.25 when disseminating the information. The attachment provides detailed instructions for controlling export-controlled technical data, including liability disclaimers regarding patent infringement, data accuracy, and commercial use licensing. Inquiries should be directed to Vickie Inlow at vickie.inlow@us.af.mil or 801-777-6228.
