Technology Control Plans
The purpose of a Technology Control Plan (TCP) is to ensure compliance with export control laws by outlining specific steps and safeguards to control access to, and dissemination of export controlled items, information/technology, software, etc.
A TCP also documents each project personnel’s obligations and the University’s commitment to export compliance.
A TCP generally contains the following elements:
- Purpose
- Description of the export control item and/or information
- Project personnel
- Physical security controls
- IT security controls
- Self-evaluation
- Training
Examples of when the University may need to implement a technology plan are:
- receiving export controlled information under a confidentiality agreement
- having an ITAR controlled item on campus
- having a 9x515 and 600 series ECCN EAR controlled item on campus
- releasing “development”; “production” or “use” (“use” is defined to mean all six elements of: operation, installation, maintenance, repair, overall and refurbishing) technology about an item, in which such information is not already published, is not the result of fundamental research, and/or is not taught in a catalog course or associated teaching lab at the University
Please contact Josef Mejido, the University’s Export Control Officer, if you think you may need to setup a TCP.
