Where it is uncertain whether an article or service is on the USML, a person may file Form DS-4076 for a commodity jurisdiction determination, which DDTC decides case by case with Defense, Commerce and other agencies on form and fit, function and performance, and the design and use history the applicant supplies. DDTC gives a preliminary response within 10 working days of a complete request; if no final determination arrives after 45 days, expedited processing may be requested; the result can be appealed to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Defense Trade Controls, who answers in writing within 30 days, and then to the Assistant Secretary. Registration is not needed to file. A CJ determination is the authoritative answer that lets an organisation treat an item and its data as EAR-controlled; a self-classification is not.
The graph holds this control, the 0 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
