§4825 — Title 50 War and National Defense | U.S. Code

Summary

Keeps other export-control laws in effect and does not change or cancel them. It says the President must use the powers in this part in a way that is coordinated with the Arms Export Control Act (section 38) and with other federal export and sanctions authorities, especially the Departments of State, Treasury, and Energy. Congress says those agencies should make clear, enforceable rules for exports, reexports, and transfers of goods, software, technology, and services for foreign policy and national security; work to cut needless complexity between different control systems; and align rules for foreign military and commercial arms sales to avoid extra paperwork. Nothing here overrides the procedures the President published under section 2139a(c) of title 42.

War and National Defense — Source: USLM XML via OLRC

(a)Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, nothing contained in this subchapter shall be construed to modify, repeal, supersede, or otherwise affect the provisions of any other laws authorizing control over the export or reexport of any item.

(b)(1)The authority granted to the President under this subchapter shall be exercised in such manner so as to achieve effective coordination with the authority exercised under section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778) and all other export control and sanctions authorities exercised by Federal departments and agencies, particularly the Department of State, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Energy.

(2)It is the sense of Congress that in order to achieve effective coordination described in paragraph (1), such Federal departments and agencies—

(A)should continuously work to create enforceable regulations with respect to the export, reexport, and in-country transfer by United States and foreign persons of commodities, software, technology, and services to various end uses and end users for foreign policy and national security reasons;

(B)should regularly work to reduce complexity in the system, including complexity caused merely by the existence of structural, definitional, and other non-policy based differences between and among different export control and sanctions systems; and

(C)should coordinate controls on items exported, reexported, or in-country transferred in connection with a foreign military sale under chapter 2 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2761 et seq.) or a commercial sale under section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act [22 U.S.C. 2778] to reduce as much unnecessary administrative burden as possible that is a result of differences between the exercise of those two authorities.

(c)Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to supersede the procedures published by the President pursuant to section 2139a(c) of title 42.
