DUA Extension and Closure Policy

All DUAs, regardless of how the data is accessed, must be extended annually or closed if you are no longer using the data. DUAs that are not closed or extended within 30 days after the expiration date are in violation of the terms of the DUA and will be forced to close and the data destroyed. An expired DUA is a violation of the agreement and prevents any action on all DUAs for your organization. See Managing your project after obtaining the data for instructions on how to extend or close your DUA. Note: an extension cannot be processed more than 60 days before the expiration date listed on the DUA.
