Mike,
        The government wants to insure that only U.S. citizens are
allowed to view USG data or hardware.  I believe its an ITAR related
issue. If a person who is not a US citizen views the data it is
considered an export.  So if you are performing on any USG contracts or
defense related orders (like a LMC contract), that implies you must
limit exposure in your plant to US citizens only.  Usually, the
Department of Trade Controls (DTC) will insist you register and apply
for a DTC number.  Again, it deals with the same issue.  Hope that
helps.

Subject: [TN] CAGE codes, FedTeDS and DD2345. Oh My!

My company has a CAGE code but we have been requested to complete Form
DD2345 (Military Critical Technical Data Agreement) to register this
CAGE code.

I've tried to find a clear explanation of the need/purpose for doing all
of this but the bureaucratese is preventing me from doing so

Can anyone on this esteemed forum provide a simple explanation?

TIA
