 One section seems to demand encryption:

"This rulemaking proposes that the electronic transmission of unclassified
‘‘technical data’’ abroad is not an ‘‘export,’’ provided that the data is
sufficiently secured to prevent access by foreign persons."

Since I have no control over how my ISP routes data... I can only assume
that
I have an obligation to secure it even between US offices and contractors.

Transferring a set of gerber file and stuffing instructions to a PWB house
in Asia seems to require paperwork.
Perhaps only internally to get a legal opinion...

More reading seems to be justified.
