After the export controlled material is used for the sole purpose of responding to the market survey, the recipient/survey respondent must destroy the technical data and must certify to the Government in writing within 30 days of the destruction that the material has been properly destroyed.

By signing the acknowledgment line provided below, the recipient/survey respondent is legally obligating itself to respect all of these conditions.
