New Technology and Old Regulations

The rapid evolution of technology poses significant challenges to the Wassenaar Agreement, especially regarding export controls and national security. The agreement emphasizes the importance of managing scientific and technical information to prevent proliferation risks. This overview discusses key aspects such as Advisory Opinions, export control guidelines from DOE, and the implications of emerging technologies like Free Electron Lasers, which may inadvertently fall under strict regulation due to their potential military applications. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for researchers and companies alike.

  1. New Technology and Old Regulations

  2. Wassenaar Agreement: http://www.wassenaar.org/ • Process to get something on it? • Advisory Opinions • DOE O 242.2A “SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT” • Section 4(e) and Attachment 1 #4 • Review for nonproliferation, national security, export control • DOE “Guidelines on Export Control and Nonproliferation” July 1999 • “…that could adversely affect U.S. security…” • “However, in rapidly advancing research fields, fundamental research may develop practical applications that make it subject to export control.” • “Just as a U.S. Govt agency may deny and export license for technology posing proliferation concerns, DOE may restrict dissemination of ECI” • “Could an adversary country gain significant technical advantage, negate a U.S. advantage, or fine it significantly easier to develop advanced weapons or make other military progress?

  3. Free Electron Lasers • ECCN 6B995, only controlled for AT • Wassenaar Munitions List: ML19, Note 1: Direct Energy Weapons with destructive power similar to conventional weapons • Counter Man-portable air-defense Systems • Not designed developed modified for military use. DHS is not military, but Border Patrol is pretty close.
