Last updated Apr 18, 2026|Official source

Summary

The Secretary must give Congress a report about enforcement, notifications, and dangerous technologies. The first report is due within 18 months after December 18, 2025, and then at least once every year after that. The report must follow proper confidentiality and classification rules. It must list enforcement actions taken under the rules and, for each one, say what technology was involved, what kind of national security transaction it was, which foreign person was involved, and which U.S. person was involved. It must also list all notifications filed under the rules during the past year, give basic facts about the parties and the nature of each transaction, and summarize those notifications by technology, transaction type, and country of concern. The Secretary must review the definition of “prohibited technology,” name any new technologies that could be an acute threat if a country of concern got them, explain why, and say if any technologies were removed from that list. The report must give context about trends and recommend steps on programs, investment, and how to run these rules. The report must be unclassified but can have a classified annex. The Secretary must consider written input from committee leaders, and may use credible information from other countries, NGOs, or other sources. Within one year after December 18, 2025, and then once a year for five years, the Secretary and the Secretary of Commerce must each testify to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committees on Foreign Affairs and Financial Services. If the chairperson and ranking member of an appropriate committee jointly ask in writing about a technology, the Secretary must decide if it may be an acute threat and explain whether it should be named a prohibited or notifiable technology, or explain why it would not be an acute threat.
