Bill > S744

This bill amends the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to enhance transparency in export licensing by requiring the Secretary to submit an annual report to specific congressional committees about export license applications and related activities. The report must include detailed information for each license application, such as the submitting entity's name, item description (including its Export Control Classification Number), end-user details, estimated value, and the licensing decision. Additionally, the report must include information about enforcement activities like end-use checks and aggregate statistics on license applications. The bill defines "covered entities" as those located in specific countries and listed on certain regulatory supplements, and specifies that most of the report's details (except aggregate statistics) will remain confidential. The report is intended to be submitted no later than one year after the bill's enactment and then annually thereafter, subject to available funding. The bill aims to improve congressional oversight and transparency in the export control process while protecting sensitive information.
