Unmarked Eng Data.pdf

This is a memorandum issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base on February 2, 2022, regarding unmarked engineering data and export control requirements for contractors and vendors.

The memorandum addresses the handling of engineering drawings and technical data that lack distribution statements and export control notices. Any such unmarked drawings must be treated as "Distribution D" materials, meaning distribution is authorized only to DoD and US DoD contractors working on Critical Technology projects as of February 2, 2022, with other requests referred to AFLCMC/LZPEF at Hill AFB, UT 84056. The document includes a detailed attachment on export-controlled technical data, which warns that unauthorized dissemination of information controlled under the Arms Export Control Act (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulation (EAR) constitutes a violation of law subject to severe criminal penalties including imprisonment up to 2-10 years and fines up to $100,000-$250,000. Contractors must maintain the confidentiality of this data and include this notice with any partial or complete reproduction provided to qualified U.S. contractors. The government assumes no liability for patent infringement, data accuracy, or loss or damage resulting from use of the technical data, and notes that commercial use may require separate licensing.
