The Nuclear Controls (NC) Subprogram supports domestic export licensing and interdiction
operations and engages in global cooperative efforts to assist partner states in implementing and
enforcing nonproliferation obligations and in detecting and deterring proliferators seeking WMD.
The NC subprogram helps states to strengthen nuclear infrastructure requirements to prevent the
diversion of nuclear materials; strengthen national WMD export control systems at the
governmental and industry level; develop technically effective approaches to enhance regional
security and prevent proliferation in volatile areas; and transition and engage WMD scientific
communities to advance security objectives. This subprogram is responsible for the following
engagement elements: International Nonproliferation Export Control (INECP); Global Initiatives
for Proliferation Prevention (GIPP); Confidence Building Measures (CBM); Export Control Review

The International Nonproliferation Export Control activity (INECP) strengthens national
systems of export control, focusing on countries and regions of proliferation concern. The
INECP has two primary components: international cooperation and training for USG export
enforcement agencies. Internationally, INECP works with established and emerging supplier
states, high volume trans-shipment countries, and transit states located close to suppliers.
In FY 2012, INECP will continue to focus on industry outreach and Commodity Identification
Training, which teaches customs agents and other officials to recognize WMD-sensitive goods.
In addition, INECP will capitalize on regional outreach opportunities and leverage INECPtrained
experts in regional best practices engagements. Training for USG agencies will provide
specialized, commodity-specific information to U.S. law enforcement agencies with the
authority to investigate export control violations, including DHS/Custom and Border
Protection, DHS/Immigration and Custom Enforcement, FBI and others. In addition, a
Cooperative Border Security Initiative (CBSI) seeks to enhance under-developed enforcement
