Show full summary
- Sanctions agencies: Agencies that maintain the covered lists must notify other list administrators within 30 days of an addition, begin their review within 30 days of that notice, and reach a formal determination within 90 days.
- Listed people and companies: Individuals and entities added to one specified list would be considered for inclusion on the other referenced U.S. lists on a faster, standardized schedule, which could widen the scope of restrictions they face.
- Congressional oversight and transparency: Each agency must submit an annual unclassified report starting within 1 year that certifies compliance, explains the review process used, and lists any cases where the process led to additional inclusions. Agencies may include a classified annex.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Annual sanctions reports to Congress
This bill would require each agency that keeps a covered sanctions list to send an unclassified report to listed congressional committees within 1 year of enactment. Reports would have to certify compliance with the notice and review rules, explain the agency's deliberative process, and list any cases where the rules led to new listings. Agencies could include a classified annex when needed.
Faster coordination for sanctions lists
This bill would require the agency that adds someone to a covered sanctions list to notify other list agencies within 30 days. The receiving agency would have to start a review within 30 days of the notice and decide within 90 days whether to add the person or entity to its list(s). These timelines would apply to the lists named in the bill and take effect upon enactment.
Which sanctions lists and committees
This bill would say which sanctions lists the rules cover. The six named lists are: OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List; the Entity List in Supplement No. 4 to part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations; the Department of Defense list under 1260H of the FY2021 NDAA (10 U.S.C. 113 note); OFAC's Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List; OFAC's Sectoral Sanctions List; and the Bureau of Industry and Security's Military End User List. The bill would also list the specific House and Senate committees that must receive reports and define the Export Administration Regulations as subchapter C of chapter VII of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations. These definitions and rules would apply upon enactment.
