This is a Memorandum for Vendors/Contractors from the Department of the Air Force, Headquarters Ogden Air Logistics Center (AFMC), issued January 24, 2012.

The memorandum addresses the handling of unmarked engineering data that lacks distribution statements and export control notices. Unmarked drawings in the referenced data set should be treated as bearing a "DISTRIBUTION D" classification, which restricts distribution to Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors only, effective January 24, 2012. Any other requests for the document must be referred to the Ogden Air Logistics Center Engineering Data Support Center. The memorandum includes a critical warning that the contained technical data is subject to export restrictions under the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C., Sec 2751, et seq.) and the Export Administration Act of 1979 (Title 50, U.S.C., App. 2401, et seq.), with violations subject to severe criminal penalties under DoD Directive 5230.25. The attachment provides detailed instructions for controlling export-controlled technical data, including penalties for unlawful export (up to 2 years imprisonment and $100,000 fines under ITAR; up to $100 million in fines or 10 years imprisonment under EAR), loss of qualified contractor status, and disclaimers regarding government liability for patent infringement, data accuracy, or commercial use. Qualified U.S. contractors receiving these data must include a copy of this notice with any partial or complete reproduction provided to other contractors.
