Show full summary
  • The Bureau of Industry and Security would have to produce an initial report within one year and then annual reports, subject to available appropriations.
  • The House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Banking Committee would receive detailed, case-level data for each license request, including submitter name, item classification and value estimate, decision, end-user location, and related enforcement checks.
  • Exporters and covered entities would have their names, item descriptions, and estimated values included in the reports to Congress, but those case-level details would be exempt from public disclosure while aggregate statistics can be shared.

Annual export license transparency reports

If enacted, the Secretary would send Congress an initial report within one year and yearly reports after that. Reports would cover license applications and authorizations for exports, reexports, releases, and in‑country transfers to covered entities. Covered entities would mean entities in Country Group D:5 that are listed in Supplement No. 4 or No. 7 to part 744. Each report would list applicant names, item descriptions (including ECCN and control level if shown), and end‑user names and locations. Reports would also include value estimates, decision and submission dates, and dates, locations, and results of enforcement checks. Most case details would be exempt from public disclosure under section 1761(h)(1), but summary statistics would remain public. Reporting would be subject to the availability of appropriations.
