Comment on DOS-2013-0003-0001

First, thank you for the effort put forth by all involved parties to drive reform in this important area and also for allowing the public to provide feedback to this proposed rule. Our company believes export control reform is critical to helping our business become more efficient and competitive, while at the same time better protecting the critical technologies that are national assets. Current export laws require our company to control launch vehicle hardware and technology that in many cases is less sophisticated and advanced than that found in commercial aviation. We are also required to control all uniquely designed support equipment, no matter how basic the technology level may be, such as brackets, slings, and simple tools. Such broad controls add cost, complexity and risk to our business - yet arguably provide less protection for our war fighter. The language in the proposed new CAT IV will enable our company to focus our limited compliance resources on more clearly defined, understandable, and specific critical technologies. Thanks again for your efforts in this important area.
