NOTICE OF MODIFICATION OF QUALIFIED ANTITERRORISM TECHNOLOGY
It is important and required that the Department be informed of any significant
modifications that the Seller makes or intends to make to a Qualified Anti-Terrorism
Technology (QATT). A significant modification is one that is outside the scope of a
Designation or Certification. Immaterial or routine modifications that are within the scope
of the Designation do not require notice. It is important, however, and required, that the
Department be informed of any significant modifications that the Seller makes or intends to
make to a QATT. The SAFETY Act final rule modified the procedure for Sellers to notify
the Department of modifications or proposed modifications to a QATT and for the
Department to respond quickly to such notifications with appropriate instructions for the
Seller. Whether notice to the Department is required for a change to a particular QATT will
depend on the specific nature of the QATT and the terms of the Designation or
Certification applicable to the QATT. If notice of a modification is required, review of the
notice will also be undertaken in a reasonable time. If the Department does not take action
in response to the notice, SAFETY Act coverage of the Technology as modified will be
conclusively established. If the Department ultimately does not approve of the proposed
changes, it will so notify the Seller and may discuss possible remedial action to address the
Department’s concerns or take other appropriate action at the discretion of the Under
Secretary, as provided in section 25.6(l) of the final rule. In no event will a Designation
terminate automatically or retroactively under this provision. It is also important to
recognize that the “significant modification” provisions may require notice by the Seller to
the Department only when the modifications are made to a QATT by the Seller or are made
to a QATT with the Seller’s knowledge and consent. The final rule does not require that a
Seller notify the Department of changes to a QATT made post-sale by an end-user of the
QATT, and any such change by an end-user cannot result in loss of SAFETY Act protection
for the Seller or others protected by the Seller’s Designation or Certification. If notice of a
modification is required, Sellers should submit to the Department a “Notice of Modification
to Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology.”

numbers need only be summarized data (that is, we do not require the
revenue sources to be itemized). The revenue data should be matched with
summarized cost data (e.g., cost of goods sold); as with the revenue data,
we do not require breakdown of data by cost centers.
