Reference the FBO Vendor Guide and/or demonstration video entitled "Advanced Functionality: Search Agents, Watchlists and Export Controlled Documents" available on the FBO homepage for more information regarding access to export controlled documents. Additional information regarding application for the JCP certification is available at the DLA DLIS JCP homepage at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/ Default.aspx.
