Unmarked Eng Data.pdf

This is a memorandum from the Department of the Air Force addressing unmarked engineering data distribution procedures. The document, issued February 2, 2022, by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, establishes that any drawings lacking distribution statements and export control notices should be treated as marked "DISTRIBUTION D," limiting distribution to Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors only as of the critical technology date of February 2, 2022.

The memorandum includes an attachment on Export Controlled Technical Data that outlines legal requirements and restrictions governing the distribution and export of technical information. The document warns that unauthorized dissemination of export-controlled information may result in severe criminal penalties under the Arms Export Control Act and Export Administration Act, including fines up to $250,000 and imprisonment up to 10 years. Recipients are instructed that unauthorized dissemination may result in disqualification as a qualified U.S. contractor and affect future Department of Defense contract eligibility. The government disclaims liability for patent infringement, data accuracy, completeness, or losses resulting from the use of furnished technical data. The document notes that commercial use of the technical data may require a separate license, and any partial or complete reproduction of the data provided to qualified U.S. contractors must include a copy of the export control notice.
