Needs and Uses:
The information collection requirement is necessary for certifying enterprises or individuals to have access to DoD export-controlled militarily critical technical data subject to the provisions of 32 CFR 250. The Joint Certification Program (JCP) is the only DoD Agency by which North American contractors can apply and obtain access to unclassified DoD militarily critical technical data with a military or space application. The JCP Office fields, validates, and certifies U.S./Canadian supplier applications using the DD Form 2345 (Militarily Technical Data Agreement).
Suppliers submit applications via the DD Form 2345 to (a) access or share unclassified DoD export-controlled technical data to bid on a DoD solicitation or execute a DoD contract, (b) attend conferences where unclassified DoD export-controlled data is discussed or shared, or (c) conduct scientific research and development on behalf of DoD where unclassified DoD export-controlled data is discussed or shared. The certification process validates suppliers to minimize risk and protect U.S. intellectual property from adversarial individuals and entities, foreign or domestic.
Affected Public:
Individuals or households; businesses or other for-profit; not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency:
On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation:
Required to obtain or retain benefits.
