PART 250_WITHHOLDING OF UNCLASSIFIED TECHNICAL DATA FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE--
 
Sec. 250.7  Pertinent portions of Export Administration Regulations (EAR).

    The following pertinent section of the EAR is provided for the 
guidance of DoD personnel in determining the releasability technical 
data under the authority of this part.

             Export Administration Regulations 15 CFR 379.3

   General License GTDA: Technical Data Available to All Destinations

    A General License designated GTDA is hereby established authorizing 
the export to all destinations of technical data described in Sec. 
379.3(a), (b), or (c), below:
    (a) Data Generally Available. Data that have been made generally 
available to the public in any form, including
    (1) Data released orally or visually at open conferences, lectures, 
trade show, or other media open to the public; and
    (2) Publications that may be purchased without restrictions at a 
nominal cost, or obtained without costs, or are readily available at 
libraries open to the public.
    The term ``nominal cost'' as used in Sec. 379.3(a)(2), is intended 
to reflect realistically only the cost of preparing and distributing the 
publication and not the intrinsic value of the technical data. If the 
cost is as much as to prevent the technical data from being generally 
available to the public, General License GTDA would not be applicable.
    (b) Scientific or Educational Data. (1) Dissemination of information 
not directly and significantly related to design, production, or 
utilization in industrial processes, including such dissemination by 
correspondence, attendance at, or participation in, meetings; or
    (2) Instruction in academic institutions and academic laboratories, 
excluding information that involves research under contract related 
directly and significantly to design, production, or utilization in 
industrial processes.

    (c) Patent Applications. Data contained in a patent application, 
prepared wholly from foreign-origin technical data where such 
application is being sent to the foreign inventor to be executed and 
returned to the United States for subsequent filing in the U.S. Patent 
and Trademark Office. (No validated export license from the Office of 
Export Administration is required for data contained in a patent 
application, or an amendment, modification, supplement, or division 
thereof for filing in a foreign country in accordance with the 
regulations of the Patent and Trademark Office 37 CFR part 5. See Sec. 
370.10(j).)
