Generally, technologies that are subject to export controls have potential military applications, whether "dual use" technologies having both legitimate commercial purposes and potential military applications or technologies clearly military in nature.
Technologies such as Nuclear Materials, propulsion systems, and biological/chemical toxins, to name a few, can be easily identified as falling into the regulatory scheme of export controls. However, some areas of technology that would not normally be considered as having military applications can be subject to export controls. For example, computer hardware that you can purchase from any major vendor could be subject to export controls.
Principal Investigators need to be aware of the technologies covered by export control regulations in the preparation of research proposals. The following lists of technologies can help guide you in that determination. If you are unsure, please contact of the Office of Research Services for assistance.

EAR: Enforced by the Department of Commerce through its Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Primarily covers technologies and technical information with both commercial and military applications (chemicals, satellites, software, etc.) See Text of Regulations.
List of controlled technologies is found in 15 CFR 774, Supplement I, and referred to as the Commodity Control List (CCL).
ITAR: 22 CFR '' 120-130 are promulgated and implemented by the Department of State and regulate defense articles and services and related technical data that are identified on the Munitions Control List (MCL), 22 CFR ' 121. See Text of regulations
.
Munitions Control List (MCL). Examples would be explosives, rocket systems, etc. For a list of controlled technologies see 22 CFR 121.1.
