Abstract: Much of the data that the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) handles is controlled, either because of Security Classification, or Distribution Limitations. All potential users are required to register to obtain DTIC services. The registration procedure is mandated in DOD Instruction (DODI) 3200.14, Principles and Operational Parameters of the DOD Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP). Federal Government Agencies and their contractors are required to complete the DD Form 1540. The contractor community completes a separate DD Form 1540 for each contract or grant, and their registration is valid until the contract expires.
