Subject: Revised Endorsement Supplement Form to Host Foreign National Guests

This e-mail is to advise you that the “NOAA Line Office (LO)/Corporate Office (CO) Endorsement Supplement for the NOAA Sponsor of Foreign National Guests” (otherwise known as the Endorsement Supplement Form) has been revised. Use of the revised form is effective immediately. This form is posted at the NOAA Deemed Exports home page: http://deemedexports.noaa.gov and on

1) “How to Sponsor a Foreign National” under required forms: http://deemedexports.noaa.gov/sponsor.html

2) or http://deemedexports.noaa.gov/sponsor.html

The Endorsement Supplement Form is part of the implementing procedures for NOAA’s technology/deemed export control program (see the NOAA Deemed Export website at http://deemedexports.noaa.gov/ for additional information).

1. What has changed?
   The changes to the Endorsement Supplement Form:
   
   • Strengthen assurances that required controlled technology assessments have been
   completed at NOAA facilities to which foreign national guests require access.
   
   • Clarify requirements regarding the need to contact Office of Marine and Aviation
   Operations (OMAO) staff when foreign nationals will be accessing OMAO platforms
   (i.e., ships and planes).

Please begin using the revised Endorsement Supplement Form immediately to ensure expedient processing of your foreign national guest requests.

If you have questions regarding how to complete the revised Endorsement Supplement Form, please contact your LO/CO Controlled Technology Coordinator (CTC) listed on the web at http://deemedexports.noaa.gov/contacts.html)

Thank you very much for your cooperation.
