Interagency Review of Federal Automated Export Licensing Systems
Abstract
Public Law 106-65, National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2000, section 1402, requires the President to submit an annual report to Congress, by March 30 of each year through 2007, on the transfer of militarily sensitive technology to countries and entities of concern. The National Defense Authorization Act further requires that the Inspectors General of the Departments of Commerce , Defense, Energy , and State, in consultation with the Director of Central Intelligence and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, conduct an annual review of policies and procedures of the U.S. Government with respect to their adequacy to prevent export of sensitive technologies and technical information to countries and entities of concern. An amendment to section 1402(b), in section 1204 of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2001, further requires that the Inspectors General include in the annual report the status or disposition of recommendations set forth in previous annual reports under section 1402. To comply with the first-year requirement of the National Defense Authorization Act, the Offices of the Inspectors General (OIGs) conducted an interagency review of Federal agency compliance with the deemed export licensing requirements contained in the Export Administration Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. To comply with the second-year requirement of the Act, the OIGs conducted an interagency review to assess policies and procedures for developing, maintaining, and revising the Commerce Control List and the U.S. Munitions List. This year, to comply with the third-year requirement of the Act, the OIGs conducted an interagency review of Federal automation programs that support the export licensing and review process. Because the Department of the Treasury, Customs Service, review the Treasury, OIG also participated in the interagency review.
