  • 1.Export Control Karla Niemi, SAFE-IP Export Control July 19, 2018 Energy Facility Contractors Group Safeguards & Security Working Group
  • 2.Introduction to Export Controls and Strategic Dual-Use Goods Los Alamos National Laboratory
  • 3.What are Export Controls? Los Alamos National Laboratory Export Controls are designed to: Protect the National Security of the United States. Protect Foreign Policy. US Export Controls are administered by multiple agencies.
  • 4.What’s The Threat? Los Alamos National Laboratory Regional Conflict Proliferation of WMD Terrorism Political Instability
  • 5.Nonproliferation Objective Los Alamos National Laboratory Prevent proliferation of items and technologies associated with: Weapons of Mass Destruction Nuclear Chemical Biological Delivery Systems Conventional Weapons Munitions Military Items
  • 6.Proliferators Attack Export Control Weaknesses Utilization of dual-use or uncontrolled commodities to obscure the actual use in a weapons program False end use statements, connections to activities of concern Supplier Agent/ Broker Intermediate Consignees End User Diversion in transit and smuggling Use of other enterprises and universities to acquire facilities, equipment, technology and training Cover names and front companies – diversion to unknown ultimate end user Agents of foreign procurement networks obtain goods, often with circuitous buying patterns, and ship without license Disguises or falsifies the final recipient country and/or the end user Exploit countries with ineffective export controls and other loopholes Some suppliers willing to export illegally, out of ignorance, for economic reasons, or to provide clandestine assistance Inaccurate or vague commodity descriptions complicate enforcement Los Alamos National Laboratory
  • 7.Current Trends are Intensifying Proliferation Threats Los Alamos National Laboratory Globalization Increasing transshipment trade Modernization Technology advances and ease of intangible transfer of technology WMD Brokering Front companies, “offshore” procurement networks and black-market supply networks Terrorism Threat of development and use of WMD by sub-national groups Secondary Proliferation Proliferants are themselves now suppliers of WMD commodities and know-how.
  • 8.What is an Export? An export is a transfer of equipment, material, software, or technology (information) to a foreign national either inside or outside of the United States by any means Los Alamos National Laboratory
  • 9.Challenges of Controlling Technology U.S. exporters must be aware that technology related to controlled commodities can be controlled to the same extent as the commodity Technology is information necessary for the development, production, or use of a commodity. It can take the form of Technical Data e.g., technical reports, calculations, experimental results, engineering design data and specifications (drawings, diagrams, and blueprints), and operating manuals Technical Assistance e.g., transfer of working knowledge or “know how”, instruction, consulting Exemptions Information in the public domain or intended for public release e.g., published literature, conference proceedings Fundamental research Basic and applied research where the resulting information is ordinarily published and shared broadly within the scientific community Effective internal compliance programs incorporate procedures to protect technology Los Alamos National Laboratory
  • 10.Challenges of Controlling Technology Los Alamos National Laboratory
  • 11.U.S. Export Controls Los Alamos National Laboratory Military Goods International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) Licensing Entity: Directorate of Defense Trade Controls – Department of State Dual-Use Goods Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Licensing Entity: Bureau of Industry and Security – Department of Commerce Nuclear Technology Technology requiring license enumerated in Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 810) Licensing Entity: Department of Energy NSG Trigger List Items Technology requiring license enumerated in Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 110.8, 110.9) Licensing Entity: Nuclear Regulatory Commission The U.S. Export Control System has its basis in Multilateral Export Control Regimes and their Lists
  • 12.Dual Use vs Defense Article Los Alamos National Laboratory
  • 13.Weapons of Mass Destruction Los Alamos National Laboratory All of these require dual-use items Nuclear Weapons Chemical Weapons Biological Weapons Delivery Systems

  • 19.A.Q. Khan – A Special Problem Secondary Proliferation and Networks Los Alamos National Laboratory On February 2, 2004, A.Q. Khan, father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb, confessed in a televised address to transferring nuclear technology to North Korea, Iran, and Libya . The IAEA describes the activities of Khan and the sophisticated network of black marketers associated with him as "the most serious case of nuclear proliferation in recent times." Source: The Independent, “Scandal of Pakistani nuclear secrets for sale was ‘tip of iceberg’” (4 February 2004); http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/scandal-of-pakistani-nuclear-secrets-for-sale-was-tip-of-iceberg-568981.html
  • 20.North Korea and Libya: Proliferation of Missile Development Capability Indian customs agents boarded the Kuwolsan Crates marked “water refinement equipment” contained nose cones, machine tools, guidance systems, extensive engineering drawings labeled “Scud B” and “Scud C.” “In the past we had seen missile or engine parts, but here was an entire assembly line for missiles offered for sale. This was a complete technology transfer” India government official Smugglers’ Route: North Korean ship carried secret cargo of missile parts originally intended for Libya Source: Washington Post, “On North Korean Freighter, a Hidden Missile Factory” (14 August 2003); http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A56111-2003Aug13?language=printer Los Alamos National Laboratory

  • 25.Case Study: Unintentional Export of Information Event 2009: Georgia Institute of Technology offered an unclassified, non-credit, continuing education course on infrared systems and technology development for U.S. citizen employees of the U.S. government and U.S. companies. A training video of the course was inadvertently placed on the web where it was accessed from foreign IP addresses Impact Unknown, but when the Institute discovered the problem they filed a voluntary self-disclosure and ran extensive and costly tracking and remediation Specifics Some slides may have contained export controlled information Los Alamos National Laboratory Lessons Learned: Ensure policies and procedures are in place and followed to ensure documents are reviewed for Export Controlled information prior to making public
  • 26.LANL Self Disclosure Case Study DOE’s Office of Science’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility Mission: “To advance a robust predictive understanding of Earth’s climate and environmental systems and to inform the development of sustainable solutions to the Nation’s energy and environmental challenges”. What: mobile weather instrument platforms deployed world wide to study radiative heat transfer, aerosol processes, and cloud processes in climate sensitive locations. Los Alamos National Laboratory
  • 27.Export Control Internal Compliance Program at LANL Los Alamos National Laboratory
  • 28.Managing Export Compliance at Los Alamos National Laboratory:Internal Compliance Program Los Alamos National Laboratory LANL’s Internal Compliance Program (ICP) is to ensure institutional compliance with Federal export control regulations in support of LANL's mission and programs with foreign involvement. A key component of LANL’s ICP is the Export Working Group (EWG), an advisory group that assists LANL management with export/import policy and implementation. The EWG consists of LANL organizations with export control responsibilities and expertise Export Control Team (primary ICP implementer) Foreign Visits & Assignments Legal Counsel Technology Transfer (contracts and lab partnerships) High Risk Property Management International Nonproliferation LANL’s ICP is proactive and involves all aspects of the laboratory and all level of employees
  • 29.Managing Export Compliance at Los Alamos National Laboratory:Internal Compliance Program Los Alamos National Laboratory Functions of the LANL Export Control Team Maintain and publish management policy and commitment; Establish and Implement LANL’s ICP structure and procedures; Support LANL’s Mission and International Activities; Provide services, guidance, and resources for all export-related activities; Provide training to the Laboratory; Maintain complete documentation of all export transactions; Provide mechanisms for employee reporting; address any corrective actions; Perform comprehensive assessments of LANL ICP Remain informed of updates to the government's export control laws and regulations to ensure compliance procedures are current
  • 30.Summary Export Controls are integral to combating the spread of WMD and their related technologies. Export Controls are internationally mandated through treaties, agreements, etc., and implemented at the national level through state policy. Proliferators continue to build WMD programs through illicit dual-use purchases by taking advantage of vulnerabilities in export control systems. This has happened in the past (ex. AQ Khan) and continues to happen to this day. Proliferators use clandestine brokering, procurement and supply networks. Training, outreach and advisory groups are important to an Export Control ICP. Export Controls are cross functional and everyone’s responsibility; we can all support each other and protect our national security by practicing awareness and due diligence.
