Embargoed or State Sponsors of Terrorism (T-4 Countries)

A T-4 country national is anybody who was born in or is a citizen of a country on the Department of State list of "State Sponsors of Terrorism." T-4 countries currently are Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.

A request for TRACC computer access by a T-4 country national requires specific approval by the U.S. Under Secretary of Science. The process requires extensive paperwork that must be submitted for approval. Submittal lead time is 3 or more months with no guarantee the request will be approved.

Principal Investigators are required to inform TRACC of any of their users who are foreign nationals and their countries of citizenship. No work may be performed on TRACC resources on behalf of foreign nationals from sensitive countries.
