Unmarked Eng Data.pdf

This memorandum from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill AFB, Utah addresses the handling of unmarked engineering data and export controlled technical data. The document, dated February 2, 2022, establishes that any unmarked drawings should be treated as having Distribution Statement D, restricting distribution to DoD and US DoD contractors only, and classifying it as Critical Technology.

The attachment provides detailed guidance on export controlled technical data, including penalties for violations under ITAR (up to 2 years imprisonment and/or $100,000 fine) and EAR (up to $100,000 fine or five times export value, or for individuals up to 10 years imprisonment and/or $250,000 fine). The document specifies that approval is required from the Department of State for ITAR-controlled items or Department of Commerce for EAR-controlled items before any release to foreign nationals, even within the US. The memo includes disclaimers regarding government liability and notes that commercial use may require additional licensing. Questions can be directed to Vickie Inlow at 801-777-6228.
