Proposal Management: Create Export Control Agreement

Overview

If an Export Control Officer determines that an Export Control Agreement (ECA) is needed, they can create the Unfunded Agreement (UFA) by clicking Create New UFA in the Export Control Officer’s Home workspace. Once the UFA has been created, additional activities are available in the UFA workspace to facilitate negotiation and activation of the agreement. Changes can also be made after the agreement has been activated.
