Technical Data
Summary of Technical Data
Information that can be transferred to overseas users only in accordance with export control regulations. The Office of Export Administration regulations (Part 379) define technical data as: Information of any kind that can be used, or adopted for use, in the design, production, manufacture, utilization, or reconstruction of articles or materials. The data may take a tangible form, such as a model, prototype, blueprint, or operating manual; or they may take an intangible form such as technical service.
Export control regulations should be consulted to ascertain licensing requirements depending upon the destination country. (Main Author: William J. Miller)
