52        ML22                                "Design methodology" and "engineering analysis" technology for the following items, excluding "build-to-print" and "design-to-specification" technology:

                                               1.    Crewed submersible and semi-submersible vessels that are:
                                               1.         Submarines specially designed for military use.
                                               1.        Mine countermeasure vehicles.
                                               2.         Anti-submarine warfare vehicles.
                                               3.        Armed or are specially designed to be used as a platform to deliver munitions or otherwise destroy or incapacitate targets.
                                               4.         Swimmer delivery vehicles, that are either crewed vessels or "classified" uncrewed vessels, specially designed for the deployment, recovery, or support of swimmers or divers from submarines.
                                               5.         Integrated with nuclear propulsion systems.
                                               1.    Naval nuclear propulsion plants and prototypes for submersible vessels, and specially designed components therefor for:
                                               1.         Crewed Vessels.
                                               1.        "Classified" payloads.
                                               2.         "Classified" uncrewed underwater vehicle signature reduction techniques.
                                               1.    Electric motors and specially designed component therefor, specially designed for submarines, having the following:
                                               1.         Power output of more than 0.75 MW (1,000 hp);
                                               1.        Quick reversing;
                                               2.         Liquid cooled; and
                                               3.        Totally enclosed.

                                              "Build-to-print" means that a foreign consignee can produce an item from engineering drawings without any technical assistance. This transaction is based strictly on a hands-off approach since the foreign consignee is understood to have the inherent capability to produce the item and only lacks the necessary drawings. Supporting documentation (e.g., acceptance criteria, object code software for numerically controlled machines) may be released on an as-required basis (i.e., must have) such that the foreign consignee would not be able to produce an acceptable item without this additional supporting documentation. Build-to-print does not include the release of any information which discloses design methodology, engineering analysis, detailed process information or manufacturing know-how. Documentation which is not absolutely necessary to permit manufacture of an acceptable item (i.e. nice to have) is not considered within the boundaries of a build-to-print data package.

                                              "Design methodology" includes the underlying engineering methods and design philosophy utilised (i.e., information that explains the rationale for a particular design decision, engineering feature, or performance requirement); engineering experience (e.g., lessons learned); and the rationale and associated databases (e.g., design allowables, factors of safety, component life predictions, failure analysis criteria) that establish the operational requirements (e.g., performance, mechanical, electrical, electronic, reliability and maintainability) of an item. (Final analytical results and the initial conditions and parameters may be provided.)

                                              "Design-to-specification" means that a foreign consignee can design and produce an item from requirement specifications without any technical assistance. This transaction is based strictly on a hands-off approach since the foreign consignee is understood to have the inherent capability to both design and produce the item and only lacks the necessary requirement information.

                                              "Engineering analysis" includes the analytical methods and tools used to design or evaluate an item's performance against the operational requirements. Analytical methods and
