Automation of the DoD Export License Application Review Process
Abstract
Public Law 106-65, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000, section 1402, "Annual Report on Transfers of Militarily Sensitive Technology to Countries and Entities of Concern," October 5, 1999, requires that the Inspectors General of the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Energy, and State, in consultation with the Director, Central Intelligence Agency, and the Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, conduct annual interagency reviews of the transfer of militarily sensitive technologies to countries and entities of concern. The overall audit objective was to determine whether Federal automation programs supporting the export license and review process could be used to establish a common electronic interface creating an automated interagency export licensing system in accordance with Federal policies and regulations. This report addresses the DoD portion of automating the export license review process for dual-use items and munitions items. Specifically, we reviewed the export license application process; the review processes of the Military Departments and other DoD Component commands; and the functionality of existing DoD automated systems. We will address the DoD involvement in the overall automation effort and the effect of DoD involvement on other U.S. governmental agencies in a subsequent interagency report. We also reviewed the management control program as it related to the overall objective.
