- House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs receive the reports. Reporting starts within one year and continues at least annually, subject to the availability of appropriations.
- U.S. exporters and other applicants will have each license application or authorization request described for Congress. Reports must list the submitting entity, a description of the item with its Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and reason for control if applicable, the end‑user name and location, an estimated value, the decision, and the submission date.
- The public sees only aggregate statistics. All other report details are exempt from public disclosure under 1761(h)(1), and the Secretary must exclude information that could jeopardize an ongoing investigation.
- "Covered entity" is defined by regulation as any entity located in Country Group D:5 and included on Supplement No. 4 or Supplement No. 7 to Part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations, and the reporting obligation applies to items controlled under this part that are destined for those entities.

Annual export license reports to Congress
The law requires the Secretary to send the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Banking committees a yearly export licensing report. It starts no later than one year after enactment and continues each year. The report lists each application or authorization to ship controlled items to covered entities, plus end‑use checks. It includes the applicant, item description with ECCN and reason for control, end‑user and location, value estimate, decision, and submission date. Only aggregate statistics are public, and details that could harm ongoing investigations are left out. Covered entities are in Country Group D:5 and on specified Commerce lists, and the requirement depends on available funding.
