GENERAL
**************************************************************************
NOTE: There are two ways the designer can require
the submission of data concerning fiber optic
equipment. The most common way is through the use
of submittals. However, the Federal Acquisition
Regulations apply special constraints on some types
of technical data that fall under the Data
Requirements Clause. Generally, the technical data
associated with fiber optic data transmission
systems do not fall under the special Data
Requirements Clause. However, if other systems such
as EMCS, UMCS, IDS, ESS, and CCTV, interconnected by
FO systems do fall within the special category, the
associated FO technical data should be acquired in
the same manner. Therefore, if some systems used
