4. - 4 - “I am an Auditor -- Not an Arms Trafficker!” How Does this Impact Me?
We have two classifications of personnel (auditors & PRI Staff) in the system: Unrestricted and Restricted. Unrestricted people are U.S. citizens or green card holders (permanent resident aliens). Restricted persons are those who are not US citizens or green card holders. This designation applies to all PRI Staff, auditors & consultants. All personnel directly employed or associated with PRI must know their status in the system.
All auditors shall follow the requirements in NIP 7-07 and all issued auditor advisories.
5. - 5 - What is the Impact to Me? The technical data of many Nadcap participating prime contractors, is maintained by suppliers under these laws and regulations.
As you audit their parts, you must be aware of the requirements of this law should you encounter any ITAR/EAR hardware.
The law provides for penalties including fines, jail, and civil penalties under U.S. criminal statutes for those violating the regulations.
