**Creates an expedited process for Entity List changes** and sets a default rule that leans toward denying export licenses for entities added to the list, aiming to speed entity-level export controls and tighten licensing decisions tied to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. - Entities added to the Entity List would face a presumption of denial for any license to export, reexport, or transfer items subject to the Export Administration Regulations. - Exporters and applicants would see stricter licensing outcomes, but voting members can, by majority vote, adopt a different policy for all or specific item types if they judge it serves national security or foreign policy interests. - Members of the End-User Review Committee could submit direct proposals and the Committee must vote within 30 days, with one possible 15-day extension if more information is needed.
