§10103 Reports to Congress

Summary

The President must send Congress a yearly report listing each foreign person he sanctioned under section 10102 during the past year. The report must say what kinds of sanctions were used, how many people had sanctions imposed under section 10102(a) and how many had sanctions ended under section 10102(g), the dates the sanctions started or stopped, the reasons for those actions, and what the President did to get other countries to use similar sanctions. The first report was due no later than 120 days after December 23, 2016. After that, a report is due on December 10 each year (or the first day after December 10 when both Houses of Congress are in session); if the first report was sent before December 10 of that year, a report must also be sent on that December 10. The report must be unclassified and made public, including in the Federal Register, but it can include a classified appendix. A name can go in the classified appendix only if the President decides it is vital to national security, uses the appendix in line with congressional intent, and tells the appropriate congressional committees at least 15 days beforehand with a justification even if there is public information about the person. The list must be published even if normally covered by section 1202(f) of title 8. "Appropriate congressional committees" means these Senate committees: Appropriations; Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs; Foreign Relations; and the Judiciary; and these House committees: Appropriations; Financial Services; Foreign Affairs; and the Judiciary.
