Increased Export Control Transparency: New Reports for Congress
This new law enhances transparency in export control by requiring the government to submit regular reports to Congress. These reports will detail export license applications and enforcement actions, aiming for better oversight of goods flowing to certain countries. For citizens, this means increased accountability in how the government manages sensitive technology and product exports, potentially impacting national security and international relations.
Key points
The government must annually report to Congress on all export license applications, including who applied, what was exported, and to whom.
Reports will include information on compliance checks to prevent illegal export of goods.
Most information in the reports will remain confidential, protecting sensitive company data and national security, with only aggregate statistics being public.
