Bill > HR1316

This bill amends the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to enhance transparency in export licensing by requiring the Secretary to submit annual reports to specific congressional committees about export authorizations and end-use checks. The reports must include details for each license application, such as the submitting entity's name, item description, export control classification number, end-user information, estimated value, and the licensing decision. The bill mandates reporting on end-use checks, including their date, location, and results, while also providing aggregate statistics on license applications. To protect sensitive information, the reports will exclude details that could compromise ongoing investigations and will maintain confidentiality of most report contents. The bill specifically focuses on "covered entities" located in certain countries that are listed on specific export regulation supplements, aiming to improve oversight and transparency in the export control process while safeguarding national security and enforcement interests.
