4 p:\bfn\bfnbvy\powerpt\export training faculty.ppt What Is an Export? ITAR 120.17, EAR 734.2(b)  An actual shipment or transmission of items subject to the EAR or ITAR (commodity, technical data, or software) out of the United States  Releasing (including oral or visual disclosure) “technical data” or software “source code” to a “foreign person,” in the United States (“deemed export”)  “Foreign persons” is everyone other than a US citizen, a permanent resident alien, & certain ‘protected individuals’ (refugees and those with asylum); it includes any company not incorporated in the United States

5 Examples of Exports SHIPPING OUT of US  Physical shipments or hand carried items  Release of technical data or software in a foreign country RELEASING INFO in US  Release of source code to a foreign national in the US  Release of technical data to a foreign national in the US  Inspections of U.S. equipment and facilities by a foreign national

6 Examples of Items Covered by Category 1 Materials, Chem, Microorganisms, & Toxins CategoryExample Systems, Equip & Components Chemical Agents, including tear gas containing 1% or less of CS or CN, except containers net wt <20gm Test, Inspection, & Prod. Equip. Electrolytic cells for fluorine production with a production capacity >250 g of fluorine per hour MaterialsChemical precursors for toxic chemical agents (1C350) (Examples: benzilic acid; sodium bifluoride); human pathogens, zoonoses, and “toxins” (1C351) (Examples: Rickettsia rickettsii, Chlamydia psittaci); animal pathogens (1C352) (Example: goat pox virus); plant pathogens (1C354) (Example: Puccinia graminis) Software“Software” for process control that is specifically configured to control or initiate “production” of chemicals controlled by 1C350 TechnologyTechnical data for the development of production of any of the above items

7 p:\bfn\bfnbvy\powerpt\export training faculty.ppt What is NOT Controlled: Technical Data & Software (ITAR 120.10, EAR 772.1) What is not export controlled “technical data” or “software”?  Publicly available technical data and software  Published for sale, in libraries open to the public, or through patents available at any patent office  General scientific, mathematical, or engineering principles commonly taught in colleges and universities  Through unlimited distribution at a conference, meeting, seminar, trade show, or exhibition (provided no previous government or industry restrictions on distribution applied)  Arise during or result from fundamental research, where no restrictions on publication or access accepted  Non-technical contract or business documents

8 p:\bfn\bfnbvy\powerpt\export training faculty.ppt What is ‘Fundamental Research’?  The export regulations, both EAR & ITAR, define fundamental research as:  Basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community.  See Supplement No. 1 to Part 734 for extensive explanatory questions and answer regarding what is not subject to the EAR in the context of university and research laboratory activities.

9 What is Not Fundamental Research?  Given this definition of fundamental research, university research will not qualify as fundamental research if  The university or research institution accepts any restrictions on the publication of the information resulting from the research, other than limited prepublication reviews by research sponsors to prevent inadvertent divulging of proprietary information provided to the research by the sponsor or to ensure that publication will not compromise patent rights of the sponsor; or  The research is Federally-funded and specific access and dissemination controls regarding the resulting information have been accepted by the university or researcher.

10 Other Controls: Software & Encryption Software  Software is also export controlled, but inside the US it is only access to source code that is controlled.  Software developed by UC can qualify as publicly available  There are special rules on encryption software  Contact your campus export managers if you are developing or distributing software

11 What can you take with you overseas? Exception TMP: “Tools of Trade”  Usual and reasonable kinds and quantities of tools of trade (commodities and software) for use by the exporter or employees of the exporter in a lawful enterprise  The tools of trade must remain under the effective control of the exporter or the exporter’s employee (retain physical possession of the item, locked in hotel safe, or guarded)  Encryption commodities and software may be pre-loaded on a laptop, handheld device or other computer or equipment  All tools of trade may accompany the individual departing from the US or may be shipped unaccompanied within one month before the individual’s departure from the US, or at any time after departure

12 License Exception TMP Temporary: “Tools of Trade”  All commodities and software, if not consumed or destroyed in the normal course of authorized temporary use abroad, be returned as soon as practicable but no later than one year after the date of export  No tools of the trade may be taken to Cuba or Sudan  Reference 15 CFR Part 740.9(a)(2)(i) for TMP “Tools of Trade” License Exception

13 Take Home Messages

14 Do’s and Don’ts: General  Do NOT Ship Any Item Outside the U.S. without first checking the ITAR and EAR Lists to determine if the item is controlled (This includes Outgoing MTA’s, Software Licenses, and any Agreement Deliverables)  Secure License Approval (through campus contact or UCOP for ITAR) or verify license exception PRIOR to Shipment for all controlled items  Do NOT Accept Publication or Access Controls in research agreements (regardless of whether federal, state, or private)  Do NOT create special training or access programs limited to select foreign companies or foreign nationals without first securing a government-approved Technical Assistance Agreement

15 Do’s and Don’ts: Contract Clauses  Export clauses and controls appear is many different types of agreements (not just research), such as:  Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs)  Non-Disclosure Agreements  Clinical Trials  Purchase of Software  Equipment Loan  Submit all agreements to appropriate campus office  Contact UCSF export contacts if you think there may be an issue because export controls apply to University supported and internal projects, so there isn’t always a contract

16 Do’s and Don’ts: Citizenship Info  Do NOT provide citizenship, nationality, or VISA status information for project staff to others or include such information in proposals. It is a violation of the INS regulations, of the Federal Privacy Act, and of the California Information Practices Act to do so. It is also contrary to University policy to discriminate on this basis or to select research project staff on any basis other than merit. See C&G Memo for guidance: http://www.ucop.edu/raohome/cgmemos/04-02.html  Do NOT agree to background checks or other arrangements where the external sponsor screens, clears, or otherwise approves project staff. University policy allows for background screening conducted by the University when appropriate to the position.

17 Do’s and Don’ts: Software  Whenever possible, make University created software, databases, and other technical data “publicly available”  When purchasing software, do not agree to restrictions on access to or use of the software by nationals of certain countries, particularly Country Group D, or restrictions on dissemination of the ‘direct product’ of the software  Seek assistance if you are developing encryption software

18 Do’s and Don’ts: Embargoes  Do NOT travel to the Balkans, Burma, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, Libya, North Korea, Sudan,or Syria, for research or educational activities without first contacting the campus VC- Research to secure a license from the Office of Foreign Assets Control. These are embargoed countries. A general license for Cuba may cover you; all other countries require a specific license.  Review scope of work and collaborators to identify any projects that may require travel to embargoed countries. UC has secured OFAC licenses for research in embargoed countries. It simply takes a bit of time.
