- Launching of Items into Space
- Transfer of technical data to a U.S. person in the U.S. from a person in the U.S.
- Retransfer of technical data within a foreign country from one U.S. person to another.
- Transfer of defense articles between or among the United States.
- Transfer of end-to-end encrypted technical data for access by authorized (i.e. U.S. persons, licensed recipients) recipients excluding Russian Federation and 126.1 sanctioned countries
