Specifies goods or technology controlled under the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Australia Group, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978, multilateral export control regimes in which the United States participates, as well as any goods or technology which could make a significant contribution to the military potential of a country.
