\(i\) Are integrated into and included as an integral part of a
commercial primary or commercial standby instrument system for use on
civil aircraft prior to export or exported solely for integration into
such a commercial primary or standby instrument system, and

\(ii\) When the exporter has been informed in writing by the Department
of State that a specific quartz rate sensor integrated into a commercial
primary or standby instrument system has been determined to be subject
to the licensing jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce in
accordance with this section.

\(2\) For controls in these circumstances, see the Commerce Control
List. In all other circumstances, quartz rate sensors remain under the
licensing jurisdiction of the Department of State under Category XII(d)
or Category VIII(e) of the U.S. Munitions List and subject to the
controls of the ITAR.

\(f\) Developmental aircraft, engines, and components thereof
specifically designed, modified, or equipped for military uses or
purposes, or developed principally with U.S. Department of Defense
funding, excluding such aircraft, engines, and components subject to the
jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce.

Note: Developmental aircraft, engines, and components thereof, having no
commercial application at the time of this amendment and which have been
specifically designed for military uses or purposes, or developed
principally with U.S. Department of Defense funding, will be considered
eligible for a CCL license when actually applied to a commercial
aircraft or commercial aircraft engine program. Exporters may seek to
establish commercial application either on a case-by-case basis through
submission of documentation demonstrating application to a commercial
program in requesting an export license application from Commerce in
respect of a specific export or, in the case of use for broad categories
of aircraft, engines, or components, a commodity jurisdiction from
State.

\*(g) Ground effect machines (GEMS) specifically designed or modified
for military use, including but not limited to surface effect machines
and other air cushion vehicles, and all components, parts, and
accessories, attachments, and associated equipment specifically designed
or modified for use with such machines.

\(h\) Components, parts, accessories, attachments, and associated
equipment (including ground support equipment) specifically designed or
modified for the articles in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this
category, excluding aircraft tires and propellers used with
reciprocating engines.

Note: The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) administered by the
Department of Commerce control any component, part, accessory,
attachment, and associated equipment (including propellers) designed
exclusively for civil, non-military aircraft (see §121.3 of this
subchapter for the definition of military aircraft) and control any
component, part, accessory, attachment, and associated equipment
designed exclusively for civil, non-military aircraft engines. The
International Traffic in Arms Regulations administered by the Department
of State control any component, part, accessory, attachment, and
associated equipment designed, developed, configured, adapted or
modified for military aircraft, and control any component, part,
accessory, attachment, and associated equipment designed, developed,
configured, adapted or modified for military aircraft engines. For
components and parts that do not meet the above criteria, including
those that may be used on either civil or military aircraft, the
following requirements apply. A non-SME component or part (as defined in
§§121.8(b) and (d) of this subchapter) that is not controlled under
another category of the USML, that: (a) Is standard equipment; (b) is
covered by a civil aircraft type certificate (including amended type
certificates and supplemental type certificates) issued by the Federal
Aviation Administration for a civil, non-military aircraft (this
expressly excludes military aircraft certified as restricted and any
type certification of Military Commercial Derivative Aircraft); and (c)
is an integral part of such civil aircraft, is subject to the
jurisdiction of the EAR. In the case of any part or component designated
as SME in this or any other USML category, a determination that such
item may be excluded from USML coverage based on the three criteria
above always requires a commodity jurisdiction determination by the
Department of State under §120.4 of this subchapter. The only exception
to this requirement is where a part or component designated as SME in
this category was integral to civil aircraft prior to August 14, 2008.
For such part or component, U.S. exporters are not required to seek a
commodity jurisdiction determination from State, unless doubt exists as
to whether the item meets the three criteria above (See §120.3 and
§120.4 of this subchapter). Also, U.S. exporters are not required to
seek a commodity jurisdiction determination from State regarding any
non-SME component or part (as defined in §§121.8(b) and (d) of this
subchapter) that is not controlled under another category of the USML,
unless doubt exists as to whether the item meets the three criteria
above (See §120.3 and §120.4 of this subchapter). These commodity
jurisdiction determinations will ensure compliance with this section and
the criteria of Section 17(c) of the Export Administration Act of 1979.
In determining whether the three criteria above have been met, consider
whether the same item is common to both civil and military applications
without modification of the item\'s form, fit, or function. Some
examples of parts or components that are not common to both civil and
military applications are tail hooks, rotodomes, and low observable
rotor blades. "Standard equipment" is defined as a part or component
manufactured in compliance with an established and published industry
specification or an established and published government specification
(e.g., AN, MS, NAS, or SAE). Parts and components that are manufactured
and tested to established but unpublished civil aviation industry
specifications and standards are also "standard equipment," e.g., pumps,
actuators, and generators. A part or component is not standard equipment
if there are any performance, manufacturing or testing requirements
beyond such specifications and standards. Simply testing a part or
component to meet a military specification or standard for civil
purposes does not in and of itself change the jurisdiction of such part
or component. Integral is defined as a part or component that is
installed in an aircraft. In determining whether a part or component may
be considered as standard equipment and integral to a civil aircraft
(e.g., latches, fasteners, grommets, and switches) it is important to
carefully review all of the criteria noted above. For example, a part
approved solely on a non-interference/provisions basis under a type
certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration would not
qualify. Similarly, unique application parts or components not integral
to the aircraft would also not qualify.

\(i\) Technical data (as defined in §120.10) and defense services (as
defined in §120.9) directly related to the defense articles enumerated
in paragraphs (a) through (h) of this category (see §125.4 for
exemptions), except for hot section technical data associated with
commercial aircraft engines. Technical data directly related to the
manufacture or production of any defense articles enumerated elsewhere
in this category that are designated as Significant Military Equipment
(SME) shall itself be designated SME.

\(f\) The following interpretations explain and amplify terms used in
this category and elsewhere in this subchapter:

\(1\) The weapons systems trainers in paragraph (a) of this category
include individual crew stations and system specific trainers;

\(2\) The articles in this category include any end item, components,
accessory, part, firmware, software or system that has been designed or
manufactured using technical data and defense services controlled by
this category;

\(3\) The defense services and related technical data in paragraph (f)
of this category include software and associated databases that can be
used to simulate trainers, battle management, test scenarios/models, and
weapons effects. In any instance when the military training transferred
to a foreign person does not use articles controlled by the U.S.
Munitions List, the training may nevertheless be a defense service that
requires authorization in accordance with this subchapter. See e.g.,
§120.9 and §124.1 of this subchapter for additional information on
military training.
