PURPOSE This Marshall Policy Directive (MPD) states Marshall Space Flight Center (MFSC) Export Control Program (ECP) policy, formal delegations of authority, responsibilities, and principal policy relationships. This MPD establishes the MSFC Export Control Program for all products, including hardware, software, technology, and technical information, which is to be made available, transferred, or shipped outside of the United States of America (USA) or to a "Foreign Person" or entity within the USA. This program ensures that all items which MSFC makes available or transfers to a foreign country, foreign person, or entity conform to the MSFC Export Control Program, NASA, and other Federal Agency rules or regulations. This document identifies the Export Control Program roles and responsibilities with regard to Scientific and Technical Information (S &TI), foreign visitors, travelers, workers, software release, website development, and shipping. The specific functions of the Export Control Program, as a subset of these processes, are defined in MPG 2190.1.

APPLICABILITY This Directive applies to all MSFC organizations which send or transmit hardware, software, technology, or technology, or technical information to destinations outside the United State, to a "Foreign Person" or entity within the United States, or which place such information in the public domain.
