Items Controlled
a. Propulsive substances: a.1. Spherical or spheroidal aluminum powder (C.A.S. 7429-90-5) in particle size of less than 200 × 10 −6 m (200 µm) and an aluminum content of 97% by weight or more, if at least 10% of the total weight is made up of particles of less than 63 µm, according to ISO 2591-1:1988 or national equivalents.
Related Controls
(1) See USML Category V(e)(7) for controls on HTPB (hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene) with a hydroxyl functionality equal to or greater than 2.2 and less than or equal to 2.4, a hydroxyl value of less than 0.77 meq/g, and a viscosity at 30 °C of less than 47 poise (CAS #69102-90-5). (2) See USML Category V for controls on ferrocene derivatives, including butacene. (3) See ECCN 1C608 for controls on oxidizers that are composed of fluorine and also other halogens, oxygen, or nitrogen, except for chlorine trifluoride, which is controlled under this ECCN 1C111.a.3.f. (4) See ECCN 1C011.b for controls on boron and boron alloys not controlled under this ECCN 1C111.a.2.b. (5) See USML Category V for controls on Inhibited Red Fuming Nitric Acid (IRFNA) (CAS 8007-58-7).
Items may also be controlled under the ITAR (22 CFR 121) administered by the State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
Related Definitions
Particle size is the mean particle diameter on a weight or volume basis. Best industrial practices must be used in sampling, and in determining particle size, and the controls may not be undermined by the addition of larger or smaller sized material to shift the mean diameter.
See EAR Part 772 (15 CFR 772) for complete definitions of terms used in the CCL.

Export Control Context
Category 1 covers advanced materials, chemicals, microorganisms, and toxins. Many items are controlled under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and Australia Group commitments. Chemical precursors and biological agents require careful screening of end-use and end-user.
