Unmarked Eng Data 2022.pdf

This is a memorandum issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base regarding unmarked engineering data and export control requirements for vendors and contractors.

The memorandum addresses engineering drawings that lack distribution statements and export control notices. Any such drawings should be treated as "DISTRIBUTION D" material, restricted to DoD and US DoD contractors only, with the classification date of February 2, 2022. The document establishes strict export controls over the technical data in accordance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulation (EAR). Contractors must understand that unauthorized dissemination is prohibited and may result in disqualification for future Department of Defense contracts. The memorandum specifies criminal penalties for export violations, including up to 2 years imprisonment or fines up to $100,000 under ITAR, and fines up to $100,000 or five times the export value under EAR, with individuals facing up to 10 years imprisonment or fines up to $250,000. The Government assumes no liability for patent infringement, adequacy, accuracy, or completeness of technical data provided. Contractors receiving technical data must include a copy of this export control notice with any partial or complete reproduction provided to qualified US contractors and must recognize that a license may be necessary if the data will be used for commercial manufacturing or profit purposes.
