What happens if a project is export-controlled?

If a project is reviewed and found to be subject to export control regulations, the first thing is the Export Control Officer must ascertain what part(s) of the project is being controlled under what export control regulation(s). Second, the Principal Investigator (P.I.) must work with the Export Control Officer to come up with a technology control plan (TCP), which details what is being controlled and how the P.I. and his cleared team will protect all technology and data going along with this project. The P.I. and all members of their team must sign the TCP to work on the project.
