evaluation must have MOD L incorporated.
Note: Service charges shall not be charged for this modification.

except for units that are under warranty.

revises the approved configuration and therefore does not require
governmental or other regulatory agency approval.

general capabilities information that does not contain controlled
technical data as defined within the International Traffic in Arms
