SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Export Administration Act of 
1996''.

SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Export controls are a part of a comprehensive response 
        to national security threats. United States exports should be 
restricted only for significant national security, nonproliferation, 
and foreign policy reasons.
            (2) Exports of certain commodities and technology may 
        adversely affect the national security and foreign policy of 
        the United States by making a significant contribution to the 
        military potential of individual countries or by disseminating 
        the capability to design, develop, test, produce, stockpile, or 
        use weapons of mass destruction, missile delivery systems, and 
        other significant military capabilities. Therefore, the 
        administration of export controls should emphasize the control 
        of these exports.
            (3) The acquisition of sensitive commodities and technology 
        by those countries and end users whose actions or policies run 
        counter to United States national security or foreign policy 
        interests may enhance the military capabilities of those 
        countries, particularly their ability to design, develop, test, 
        produce, stockpile, use, and deliver nuclear, chemical, and 
        biological weapons, missile delivery systems, and other 
        significant military capabilities. This enhancement threatens 
        the security of the United States and its allies, and places 
        additional demands on the defense budget of the United States. 
        Availability to countries and end users of items that 
        contribute to military capabilities or the proliferation of 
        weapons of mass destruction is a fundamental concern of the 
        United States and should be eliminated through negotiations and 
        other appropriate means whenever possible.
            (4) With the growing importance of exports to sustained 
        United States economic growth and vitality, restrictions on 
        exports must be evaluated in terms of their effects on the 
        United States economy.
            (5) Export controls cannot be the sole instrument of the 
        United States to prevent a country or end user from developing 
        weapons of mass destruction. For this reason, export controls 
        should be applied as part of a comprehensive response to 
        security threats.
            (6) The national security of the United States depends not 
        only on wise foreign policies and a strong defense, but also a 
        vibrant national economy. To be truly effective, export 
        controls should be applied uniformly by all suppliers.
            (7) International treaties, such as the Chemical Weapons 
        Convention, and international agreements and arrangements 
        intended to control, lessen, or eliminate weapons of mass 
        destruction should be fully implemented by, among other things, 
        imposing restrictions on imports and exports of designated 
        items, monitoring, and transmitting reports on, the production, 
        processing, consumption, export, and import of designated 
        items, and complying with verification regimes mandated by such 
        treaties, agreements, and arrangements.
            (8) Except in the event the United States is the sole 
        source of critical supplies, unilateral export controls are 
        generally not truly effective in influencing the behavior of 
        other governments or impeding access to controlled items. 
        Unilateral controls alone may impede access to United States 
        sources of supply without affecting the ability of countries to 
        obtain controlled items elsewhere. Moreover, unilateral 
        controls generally permit foreign competitors to serve markets 
        the United States Government denies to United States firms and 
        workers, thus impairing the reliability of United States 
        suppliers in comparison with their foreign competitors. At the 
        same time, the need to lead the international community or 
        overriding national security or foreign policy interests may 
        justify unilateral controls in specific cases.
            (9) The United States recognizes the importance of 
        comprehensive enforcement measures to maximize the 
        effectiveness of multilateral controls.
            (10) The United States export control system must not be 
        overly restrictive or bureaucratic, or undermine the 
        competitive position of United States industry. The export 
        control system must be efficient, responsive, transparent, and 
        effective.
            (11) Export restrictions that negatively affect the United 
        States industrial base may ultimately weaken United States 
        military capabilities and lead to dependencies on foreign 
        sources for key components.
            (12) Minimization of restrictions on exports of 
        agricultural commodities and products is of critical importance 
        to the maintenance of a sound agricultural sector, to a 
        positive contribution to the balance of payments, to reducing 
        the level of Federal expenditures for agricultural support 
        programs, and to United States cooperation in efforts to 
        eliminate malnutrition and world hunger.
            (13) Minimization of restrictions on the export of 
        information technology products and services is of critical 
        importance to United States leadership in removing obstacles to 
        the effective development of a superior global information 
        infrastructure and the new jobs and markets, increased trade 
        and information flows, improved national security, and new 
        tools for the improvement of the quality of life for people 
        globally that will be created.
            (14) The United States should play a leading role in 
        promoting transparency and responsibility with regard to the 
        transfers of conventional armaments and sensitive dual-use 
        goods and technologies.

SEC. 103. POLICY STATEMENT.

    It is the policy of the United States to do the following:
            (1) To stem the proliferation of weapons of mass 
        destruction, and the means to deliver them, and other 
        significant military capabilities by--
                    (A) leading international efforts to control the 
                proliferation of chemical and biological weapons, 
                nuclear explosive devices, missile delivery systems, 
                and other significant military capabilities;
                    (B) controlling involvement of United States 
                persons in, and contributions by United States persons 
                to, foreign programs intended to develop weapons of 
                mass destruction, missiles, and other significant 
                military capabilities, and the means to design, test, 
                develop, produce, stockpile, or use them; and
                    (C) implementing international treaties or other 
                agreements or arrangements concerning controls on 
                exports of designated items, reports on the production, 
                processing, consumption, and exports and imports of 
                such items, and compliance with verification programs.
            (2) To restrict the export of items--
                    (A) that would significantly contribute to the 
                military potential of countries so as to prove 
                detrimental to the national security of the United 
                States or its allies; or
                    (B) where necessary to further significantly the 
                foreign policy of the United States or to fulfill its 
                declared international commitments.
            (3) To--
                    (A) minimize uncertainties in export control 
                policy; and
                    (B) encourage trade with all countries with which 
                the United States has diplomatic or trading relations, 
                except those countries with which such trade has been 
                determined by the President to be against the national 
                interest.
            (4) To restrict export trade when necessary to protect the 
        domestic economy from the excessive drain of scarce materials 
        and to reduce the serious inflationary impact of foreign 
        demand.
            (5) To further increase the reliance of the United States 
        upon multilateral coordination of controls through effective 
        control regimes that maintain lists of controlled items that 
        are truly critical to the control objectives, strive to 
        increase membership to include all relevant countries, maintain 
        common criteria and procedures for licensing, and harmonize 
        member countries' licensing practices. It is the policy of the 
        United States that multilateral controls are the best means of 
        achieving the control objectives of the United States.
            (6) To impose unilateral controls only when it is necessary 
        to further significantly the national security or foreign 
        policy of the United States, and only after full consideration 
        of the economic impact of the controls and their effectiveness 
        in achieving their intended objectives.
            (7) To make all licensing determinations in a timely manner 
        so undue delays in the licensing process will not cause a 
        United States person to lose an export sale.
            (8) To use export controls to deter and punish acts of 
        international terrorism and to encourage other countries to 
        take immediate steps to prevent the use of their territories or 
        resources to aid, encourage, or give sanctuary to those persons 
        involved in directing, supporting, or participating in acts of 
        international terrorism. To this end, consistent with the 
        policies of this section and the provisions of this title, the 
        United States should, by restricting exports to countries that 
        have violated international norms of behavior by repeatedly 
        supporting acts of international terrorism, distance itself 
        from those countries.
            (9)(A) To counteract restrictive trade practices or 
        boycotts fostered or imposed by foreign countries against other 
        countries friendly to the United States or against any United 
        States person.
            (B) To encourage and, in specified cases, require United 
        States persons engaged in the export of commodities, 
        technology, and other information to refuse to take actions, 
        including furnishing information or entering into or 
        implementing agreements, which have the effect of furthering or 
        supporting the restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered 
        or imposed by any foreign country against a country friendly to 
        the United States or against any United States person.
            (10) To streamline export control functions and increase 
        administrative accountability, and thereby better serve the 
        exporting public by reducing and eliminating overlapping, 
        conflicting, and inconsistent regulatory burdens.
            (11) To minimize restrictions on the export of agricultural 
        commodities and products.
            (12) To minimize restrictions on the export of information 
        technology products and services as part of a flexible 
        regulatory environment that can keep pace with the rapid 
        technological changes necessary to realize the full economic, 
        societal, and national security benefits of United States 
        leadership in the development of a superior global information 
        infrastructure.
            (13) To cooperate with other countries to promote greater 
        transparency and responsibility with regard to the transfers of 
        armaments and sensitive goods and technologies, both for the 
        purpose of developing common understandings of the risks to 
        international peace and regional security associated with the 
        transfers of such items and to coordinate national control 
        policies to combat those risks.
            (14) To enhance the national security and nonproliferation 
        interests of the United States. To this end and consistent with 
        the other policies of this section and the provisions of this 
        title, the United States will use export controls when 
        necessary to ensure that access to weapons of mass destruction, 
        missile delivery systems, and other significant military 
        capabilities is restricted. While the multilateral 
        nonproliferation regimes will be the primary instruments 
        through which the United States will pursue its 
        nonproliferation goals, it may also, consistent with the 
        policies of this section and the provisions of this title, take 
        unilateral action.
            (15) To promote international peace, stability, and respect 
        for fundamental human rights. The United States may establish 
        controls on exports that contribute to the military 
        capabilities of countries that threaten international peace or 
        stability or to countries that abuse the fundamental rights of 
        their citizens, or to promote other important foreign policy 
        objectives of the United States, consistent with the policies 
        of this section and the provisions of this title.

SEC. 104. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

implementation of this title, including the following:
            (1) Specific exports.--A license authorizing a specific 
        export.
            (2) Multiple exports.--Licenses authorizing multiple 
        exports, issued pursuant to an application by the exporter, in 
        lieu of a license for each such export. Licenses under this 
        paragraph shall be designed to encourage and acknowledge 
        exporters' internal control programs for ensuring compliance 
        with the terms of the license.
    (b) United States Commodity Control Index.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall establish and 
        maintain, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the 
        heads of other appropriate departments and agencies, a United 
        States Commodity Control Index specifying the license 
        requirements under this title that are applicable to the items 
        on the list.
            (2) Contents.--The control index shall--
                    (A) consist of a multilateral control list of items 
                on which export controls are imposed under section 105, 
                an emergency control list of items on which export 
                controls are imposed under section 106, and a short 
                supply control list of commodities on which export 
                controls are imposed under section 107;
                    (B) include, as part of the multilateral and 
                emergency control lists, those items identified 
                pursuant to section 111(a);
                    (C) for each item on the control index, specify 
                with particularity the performance (where applicable) 
                and other identifying characteristics of the item and 
                provide a rationale for why the item is on the control 
                list;
                    (D) identify countries, and, as appropriate, end 
                uses or end users, including specific projects and end 
                users of concern, cross-referenced with the list of 
                commodities and technology on which export controls are 
                imposed; and
                    (E) be sufficiently specific and clear as to guide 
                exporters and licensing officers in determinations of 
                licensing requirements under this title.
    (c) Denied or Debarred Parties, Sanctioned Parties, Blocked 
Persons, Specially Designated Nationals, and Other Parties Presenting 
Unacceptable Risks of Diversion.--
            (1) Denied or debarred parties, sanctioned parties, blocked 
        persons, and specially designated nationals.--The President 
        shall ensure that an official list is published semiannually in 
        the Federal Register of all parties denied or debarred from 
        export privileges under this title or under the Arms Export 
        Control Act, all parties sanctioned for prohibited 
        proliferation activity under this title or other statutes, and 
        all blocked persons and specially designated nationals. For 
        purposes of this paragraph, a ``blocked person'' or ``specially 
        designated national'' is a person or entity so designated by 
        the President or the Secretary of the Treasury under the 
        Trading With the Enemy Act, or the International Emergency 
        Economic Powers Act, with whom transactions are prohibited on 
        account of the relationship of that person or entity with a 
        country, organization, or activity against which sanctions are 
        imposed under either such Act. Promptly after any person is 
        designated a ``blocked person'' or ``specially designated 
        national'', the Secretary of the Treasury shall publish such 
        designation in the Federal Register.
            (2) Other parties.--The Secretary shall maintain a list of 
        parties for whom licenses under this title will be 
        presumptively denied.
    (d) Delegation of Authority.--Subject to the provisions of this 
title, the President may delegate the power, authority, and discretion 
conferred upon the President by this title to such departments, 
agencies, and officials of the Government as the President considers 
appropriate, except that no authority under this title may be delegated 
to, or exercised by, any official of any department or agency the head 
of which is not appointed by the President, by and with the advice and 
consent of the Senate. The President may not delegate or transfer his 
power, authority, or discretion to overrule or modify any 
recommendation or decision made by the Secretary, the Secretary of 
Defense, or the Secretary of State under this title and may not 
delegate the authority under section 106(a)(4).
    (e) Notification of the Public; Consultation With Business.--The 
Secretary shall keep the public fully apprised of changes in export 
control policy and procedures instituted in conformity with this title 
with a view to encouraging trade. The Secretary shall consult regularly 
with representatives of a broad spectrum of enterprises, labor 
organizations, and citizens interested in or affected by export 
controls, in order to obtain their views on United States export 
control policy and the foreign availability of items subject to 
controls.
    (f) Export Advisory Committees.--
            (1) Appointment.--Upon his or her own initiative or upon 
        the written request of representatives of a substantial segment 
        of any industry which produces any items subject to export 
        controls under this title or under the International Emergency 
        Economic Powers Act, or being considered for such controls, the 
        Secretary shall appoint export advisory committees with respect 
to any such items. Each such committee shall consist of representatives 
of United States industry and Government, including the Department of 
Commerce and other appropriate departments and agencies of the 
Government. The Secretary shall permit the widest possible 
participation by the business community on the export advisory 
committees.
            (2) Functions.--Export advisory committees appointed under 
        paragraph (1) shall advise and assist the Secretary, and any 
        other department, agency, or official of the Government 
        carrying out functions under this title, on actions (including 
        all aspects of controls imposed or proposed) designed to carry 
        out the policies of this title concerning the items with 
        respect to which such export advisory committees were 
        appointed. Such committees, where they have expertise in such 
        matters, shall be consulted on questions involving--
                    (A) technical matters,
                    (B) worldwide availability and actual utilization 
                of production technology,
                    (C) licensing procedures which affect the level of 
                export controls applicable to any items,
                    (D) revisions of the multilateral control list (as 
                provided in section 105(g)), including proposed 
                revisions of multilateral controls in which the United 
                States participates,
                    (E) the issuance of regulations,
                    (F) the impact and interpretation of existing 
                regulations,
                    (G) processes and procedures for review of licenses 
                and policy,
                    (H) any other questions relating to actions 
                designed to carry out this title, and
                    (I) the operation and conduct of international 
                business transactions.
        Nothing in this subsection shall prevent the United States 
        Government from consulting, at any time, with any person 
        representing an industry or the general public, regardless of 
        whether such person is a member of an export advisory 
        committee. Members of the public shall be given a reasonable 
        opportunity, pursuant to regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary, to present evidence to such committees.
            (3) Reimbursement of expenses.--Upon the request of any 
        member of any export advisory committee appointed under 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary may, if the Secretary determines 
        it to be appropriate, reimburse such member for travel, 
        subsistence, and other necessary expenses incurred by such 
        member in connection with the duties of such member.
            (4) Chairperson.--Each export advisory committee appointed 
        under paragraph (1) shall elect a chairperson, and shall meet 
        at least every 3 months at the call of the chairperson, unless 
        the chairperson determines, in consultation with the other 
        members of the committee, that such a meeting is not necessary 
        to achieve the purposes of this subsection. Each such committee 
        shall be terminated after a period of 2 years, unless extended 
        by the Secretary for additional periods of 2 years each. The 
        Secretary shall consult with each such committee on such 
        termination or extension of that committee.
            (5) Access to information.--To facilitate the work of the 
        export advisory committees appointed under paragraph (1), the 
        Secretary, in conjunction with other departments and agencies 
        participating in the administration of this title, shall 
        disclose to each such committee adequate information, 
        consistent with national security, pertaining to the reasons 
        for the export controls which are in effect or contemplated for 
        the items or policies for which that committee furnishes 
        advice. Information provided by the export advisory committees 
        shall not be subject to disclosure under section 552 of title 
        5, United States Code, and such information shall not be 
        published or disclosed unless the Secretary determines that the 
        withholding thereof is contrary to the national interest.
    (g) Development and Review of the Control Index.--
            (1) In general.--
                    (A) Consistent with the general guidance of the 
                Export Control Policy Committee established in section 
                114(c), the Secretary of Defense and the heads of other 
                appropriate departments and agencies may identify and 
                recommend to the Secretary--
                            (i) commodities and technology for 
                        inclusion on, or deletion from, the 
                        multilateral and emergency control lists; and
                            (ii) the licensing requirements that should 
                        or should not apply to these commodities and 
                        technology.
                    (B) The Secretary of Defense shall have primary 
                responsibility for identifying commodities and 
                technologies that are critical to the design, 
                development, test, production, stockpiling, or use of 
                weapons of mass destruction and other military 
                capabilities, including nuclear, biological, and 
chemical weapons, and manned and unmanned vehicles capable of 
delivering such weapons, in determining recommendations for inclusion 
of items on the control index.
                    (C) If the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of 
                State, or the Secretary of Energy disagrees with the 
                decision of the Secretary regarding the inclusion or 
                deletion, or licensing requirements of, any commodity 
                or technology, the Secretary of Defense, State, or 
                Energy (as the case may be) may, within 30 days after 
                the Secretary makes the decision, appeal the 
                Secretary's decision to the President in writing, but 
                only on the basis of the specific provisions of this 
                title. If the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of 
                State, or the Secretary of Energy fails to appeal a 
                decision of the Secretary in accordance with the 
                preceding sentence, he or she shall be deemed to have 
                no objection to the decision. The President shall 
                resolve a disagreement under this subsection not later 
                than 30 days after the appeal is made under this 
                paragraph.
            (2) Negotiations.--The Secretary of State, in consultation 
        with appropriate departments and agencies, shall be responsible 
        for conducting negotiations with other countries regarding 
        multilateral arrangements for restricting the export of items 
        to carry out the policies of this title. All appropriate 
        departments and agencies shall develop initial technical 
        parameters and product definitions in connection with the 
        development of proposals within the United States Government to 
        be made to multilateral regimes, in consultation with the 
        export advisory committees as provided in paragraph (3).
            (3) Consultations with export advisory committees.--The 
        Secretary shall consult with the appropriate export advisory 
        committee appointed under this section with respect to changes 
        in the control index, and such export advisory committee may 
        submit recommendations to the Secretary with respect to such 
        changes. The Secretary shall consider the recommendations of 
        the export advisory committee and shall inform the committee of 
        the disposition of its recommendations. The Secretary shall 
        also seek comments and recommendations from the public in 
        connection with changes in the control index. To the maximum 
        extent practicable and consistent with the conduct of 
        international negotiations, such comments and recommendations 
        should be taken into consideration in the development of United 
        States Government proposals and positions to be taken in 
        multilateral regimes.
    (h) Right of Export.--No authority or permission to export may be 
required under this title, or under regulations issued under this 
title, except to carry out the policies set forth in section 103.
    (i) International Obligations Under Treaties.--Notwithstanding any 
other provision of this title containing limitations on authority to 
control exports, the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of 
State, may impose controls on exports to a particular country or 
countries in order to fulfill obligations of the United States under 
resolutions of the United Nations and under treaties to which the 
United States is a party. The Secretary may regulate domestic and 
foreign conduct consistent with the policies of such United Nations 
resolutions, treaties, and other international agreements. Such 
authority shall include, but not be limited to, authority to prohibit 
activity such as financing, contracting, providing services, or 
employment, to deny access to items in the United States and abroad, to 
conduct audits of records and inspections of facilities, to compel 
reports, and to curtail travel.
    (j) Fees.--No fee may be charged in connection with the submission 
or processing of an export license application under this title.

SEC. 105. MULTILATERAL CONTROLS.

    (a) Authority.--
            (1) In general.--In order to carry out the policies set 
        forth in paragraphs (1), (2), (5), (13), (14), and (15) of 
        section 103, the President may, in accordance with this 
        section, prohibit, curtail, or require the provision of 
        information regarding, the export of any commodities, 
        technology, or other information subject to the jurisdiction of 
        the United States, or exported by any person subject to the 
        jurisdiction of the United States, in order to implement 
        multilateral export control regimes. The authority under this 
        paragraph shall include, but not be limited to, the authority 
        to regulate domestic and foreign conduct, to prohibit activity 
        such as financing, contracting, providing services, or 
        employment, to deny access to items in the United States and 
        abroad, to conduct audits of records and inspections of 
        facilities, and to compel reports. The authority granted by 
        this subsection may not be exercised to impose unilateral 
        controls.
            (2) Exercise of authority.--The authority granted by this 
        subsection shall be implemented by the Secretary, in 
        consultation with appropriate departments and agencies.
            (3) Consistency with export control regimes.--Any provision 
        of this title that provides that no authority or permission to 
        export may be required under this title shall not apply to the 
        extent that such a provision is inconsistent with an 
        international commitment of the United States under a 
        multilateral export control regime.
    (b) Multilateral Control List.--The Secretary shall, in 
consultation with appropriate departments and agencies as provided in 
section 104(g), designate as part of the control index, a multilateral 
control list, comprised of the items on which export controls are in 
effect under this section.
    (c) Export Licensing Policies.--The President shall ensure that 
steps are taken to increase the degree to which the licensing 
requirements of other export regime members are harmonized with the 
licensing requirements maintained by the Secretary in controlling items 
under this section.
    (d) Multilateral Control Regimes.--
            (1) Policy.--In order to carry out the policies set forth 
        in section 103, the Secretary of State, in consultation with 
        appropriate departments and agencies, should seek multilateral 
        arrangements that are intended to secure effective achievement 
        of these policies and, in so doing, also establish fairer and 
        more predictable competitive opportunities for United States 
        exporters.
            (2) Standards for national systems.--In the establishment 
        and maintenance of multilateral regimes, the Secretary of 
        State, in consultation with appropriate departments and 
        agencies, shall take steps to attain the cooperation of members 
        of the regimes in the effective implementation of export 
        control systems. Such systems should contain the following 
        elements:
                    (A) National laws providing enforcement 
                authorities, civil and criminal penalties, and statutes 
                of limitations sufficient to deter potential violations 
                and punish violators.
                    (B) A program to evaluate export license 
                applications that includes sufficient technical 
                expertise to assess the licensing status of exports and 
                ensure the reliability of end users.
                    (C) An enforcement mechanism that provides 
                authority for trained enforcement officers to 
                investigate and prevent illegal exports.
                    (D) A system of export control documentation to 
                verify the movement of items.
                    (E) Procedures for the coordination and exchange of 
                information concerning licensing, end users, and 
                enforcement.
                    (F) Adequate national resources devoted to carrying 
                out subparagraphs (A) through (E).
            (3) Standards for multilateral regimes.--In the 
        establishment and maintenance of multilateral regimes, the 
        Secretary of State, in consultation with appropriate 
        departments and agencies, should seek, consistent with the 
        policies set forth in section 103, the following features for 
        the multilateral control regimes in which the United States 
        participates:
                    (A) Full membership.--Achieve membership of all 
                supplier countries whose policies and activities are 
                consistent with the objectives and membership criteria 
                of the multilateral regime.
                    (B) Effective enforcement and compliance.--Promote 
                enforcement and compliance with the rules and 
                guidelines of the members of the regime through 
                maintenance of an effective control list.
                    (C) Public understanding.--Enhance public 
                understanding of each regime's purpose and procedures.
                    (D) Effective implementation procedures.--Achieve 
                procedures for effective implementation of the rules 
                and guidelines of the regime through uniform and 
                consistent interpretations of export controls agreed to 
                by the governments participating in the regime.
                    (E) Enhanced cooperation among regime members.--
                Reach agreement to enhance cooperation among members of 
                the regime in obtaining the agreement of governments 
                outside the regime to restrict the export of items 
                controlled by the regime, to establish an ongoing 
                mechanism in the regime to coordinate planning and 
                implementation of export control measures related to 
                such agreements, and to remove items from the list of 
                items controlled by the regime if the control of such 
                items no longer serves the objectives of the members of 
                the regime.
                    (F) Periodic high-level meetings.--Conduct periodic 
                meetings of high-level representatives of participating 
                governments for the purpose of coordinating export 
                control policies and issuing policy guidance to members 
                of the regime.
                    (G) Common list of controlled items.--Reach 
                agreement on a common list of items controlled by the 
                regime.
                    (H) Treatment of certain countries.--Prevent the 
                export or diversion of the most sensitive items to 
                countries whose activities are threatening to the 
                national security of the United States or its allies.
                    (I) Disclosure of nonproprietary information.--
                Promote transparency and timely disclosure of 
                nonproprietary information with respect to the 
                transfers of sensitive dual-use commodities and 
                technologies, when appropriate, for the purpose of 
                developing common understandings of the risks to 
                international peace and regional security associated 
                with such transfers and to coordinate national control 
                policies to combat those risks.
    (e) Incentives for Partnership.--Consistent with the policies of 
this title and consistent with the objectives, rules, and guidelines of 
the individual regime--
            (1) the Secretary, in consultation with appropriate 
        departments and agencies, may provide for exports free of 
        license requirements to and among members of a multilateral 
        regime for items subject to controls under such a multilateral 
        regime; and
            (2) the Secretary, in consultation with appropriate 
        departments and agencies, may adjust licensing policies with 
        respect to a particular country or entity for access to items 
        controlled under this title to the extent of the adherence of 
        that country or entity to the export control policies of this 
        section.
Actions by the Secretary under paragraphs (1) and (2) shall be 
consistent with the requirements of section 111(a)(1)(C).
    (f) Transparency of Multilateral Control Regimes.--
            (1) Publication of information on each existing regime.--
        Within 6 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
        the Secretary shall, to the extent doing so is not inconsistent 
        with arrangements in multilateral export control regimes, 
        publish in the Federal Register the following information with 
        respect to each multilateral control regime existing on the 
        date of the enactment of this Act:
                    (A) Purposes of the control regime.
                    (B) Members of the regime.
                    (C) Licensing policy.
                    (D) Items subject to the controls under the regime, 
                together with all public notes, understandings, and 
                other aspects of the agreement of the regime, and all 
                changes thereto.
                    (E) Any countries, end uses, or end users that are 
                subject to the controls.
                    (F) Rules of interpretation.
                    (G) Major policy actions.
                    (H) The rules and procedures of the regime for 
                establishing and modifying any matter described in 
                subparagraphs (A) through (G) and for reviewing export 
                license applications.
            (2) New regimes.--Within 2 months after the United States 
        joins or organizes a new export control regime, the Secretary 
        shall, to the extent doing so is not inconsistent with 
        arrangements in the regime, publish the information described 
        in subparagraphs (A) through (H) of paragraph (1) with respect 
        to that regime.
            (3) Publication of changes.--Within 2 months after the 
        applicable regime adopts any changes in the information 
        published under this subsection, the Secretary shall, to the 
        extent doing so is not inconsistent with arrangements in the 
        regime, publish such changes in the Federal Register.
    (g) Review of Controlled Items.--
            (1) In general.--Under the policy guidance of the Export 
        Control Policy Committee established in section 114(c), and 
        consistent with the procedures in section 104(g), the Secretary 
        shall review all items on the multilateral control list 
        maintained under subsection (b) at least every 2 years, except 
        that the Secretary shall review annually whether the policy set 
        forth in section 103(12) is being achieved. At the conclusion 
        of each review, the Secretary shall decide whether to maintain 
        or remove items from the multilateral control list, maintain, 
        change, or eliminate the specifications, performance 
        thresholds, or licensing requirements on items on the list, or 
        add items to the list.
            (2) Considerations.--In conducting the review, the 
        Secretary shall--
                    (A) consult with the Secretary of Defense 
                concerning militarily critical technologies;
                    (B) consult with the appropriate export advisory 
                committees appointed under section 104(f) and consider 
                recommendations of such committees with respect to 
                proposed changes in the multilateral control list;
                    (C) consider whether controlled items or their 
                equivalent are so widely available in the United States 
                (in terms of quantity, cost, and means of sale and 
                delivery) that the requirement for a license is 
                ineffective in achieving the purpose of the control;
                    (D) consider whether the differences between the 
                export controls of the United States and that of 
                governments of foreign suppliers or competing items 
                effectively has placed or will place the United States 
                exporter at a significant commercial disadvantage with 
                respect to its competitors abroad, and has placed, or 
                will place, employment in the United States in 
                jeopardy;
                    (E) consider the results of determinations made 
                under section 114(k); and
                    (F) consider comments received pursuant to the 
                notice of review provided under paragraph (3)(A).
            (3) Procedures.--
                    (A) Notice of review.--Before beginning each review 
                under this subsection, the Secretary shall publish a 
                notice of that review in the Federal Register and shall 
                provide a 30-day period for comments and submission of 
                data, including by exporters and other interested 
                parties.
                    (B) Proposals to export control regimes.--If a 
                revision to the multilateral control list or to a 
                licensing requirement under this paragraph is 
                inconsistent with the control lists, guidelines, or the 
                licensing requirements of, an export control regime, 
                the Secretary of State shall propose such revision to 
                that regime. Such revision shall become effective only 
                to the extent such revision is agreed to by the export 
                control regime.
                    (C) Publication of revisions.--The Secretary shall 
                publish in the Federal Register any revisions in the

SEC. 106. EMERGENCY CONTROLS.

    (a) Authority.--
            (1) In general.--In order to carry out the policy set forth 
        in paragraphs (1), (2), (6), (8), (14), and (15) of section 
        103, the President may, in accordance with the provisions of 
        this section, unilaterally prohibit, curtail, or require the 
        provision of information regarding the export of any commodity, 
        technology, or other information subject to the jurisdiction of 
        the United States or exported by any person subject to the 
        jurisdiction of the United States. The authority under this 
        paragraph shall include, but not be limited to, the authority 
        to regulate domestic and foreign conduct, to prohibit activity 
        such as financing, contracting, providing services, or 
        employment, to deny access to items in the United States and 
        abroad, to conduct audits of records and inspections of 
        facilities, and to compel reports.
            (2) Exercise of authority.--The authority contained in this 
        section shall be exercised by the Secretary, in consultation 
        with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and such 
        other departments and agencies as the President considers 
        appropriate, and consistent with the procedures in section 
        104(g).
            (3) Expiration of controls.--
                    (A) In general.--Any controls imposed under this 
                section shall expire 12 months after they are imposed, 
                unless they are terminated earlier by the President or 
                unless they are extended under this section, except 
                that such controls may be adopted as multilateral 
                controls under section 105 or included in an embargo 
                that is imposed by the President under the 
                International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 
the Trading with the Enemy Act, or other provision of law other than 
this title. Any extension or subsequent extension of the controls under 
this section shall be for a period of not more than 1 year each. The 
controls shall expire at the end of each such extension unless they are 
terminated earlier by the President or unless they are further extended 
under this section, except that such controls may be adopted as 
multilateral controls under section 105 or included in an embargo 
described in the first sentence of this subparagraph.
                    (B) Exception for multilateral agreements.--
                Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to controls imposed by 
                the President in order to fulfill obligations of the 
                United States under resolutions of the United Nations 
                or under treaties to which the United States is a 
                party. If such a resolution or treaty ceases to be in 
                effect, controls imposed by the President pursuant to 
                such resolution or treaty shall immediately cease to be 
                in effect.
            (4) Criteria.--Controls may be imposed, expanded, or 
        extended under this section only if the President determines 
        that--
                    (A) the controls are necessary to further 
                significantly the nonproliferation, national security, 
                or foreign policies of the United States provided in 
                section 103, the objective of the controls is in the 
                overall national interest of the United States, and 
                reasonable alternative means to the controls are not 
                available;
                    (B) the controls are likely to make substantial 
                progress toward achieving the intended purpose of--
                            (i) changing, modifying, or constraining 
                        the undesirable conduct or policies of the 
                        country to which the controls apply;
                            (ii) denying access by the country to 
                        controlled items from all sources;
                            (iii) establishing multilateral cooperation 
                        to deny the country access to controlled items 
                        from all sources; or
                            (iv) denying exports or assistance that 
                        significantly contributes to the proliferation 
                        of weapons of mass destruction or other 
                        important military capabilities, terrorism, or 
                        human rights abuses;
                    (C) the proposed controls are compatible with the 
                foreign policy objectives of the United States and with 
                overall United States policy toward the country to 
                which the controls apply;
                    (D) the reaction of other countries to the 
                imposition, expansion, or extension of such export 
                controls by the United States is not likely to render 
                the controls ineffective in achieving the intended 
                purpose or to be counter-productive to United States 
                policy interests;
                    (E) the effect of the proposed controls on the 
                export performance of the United States, the 
                competitive position of the United States as a supplier 
                of items, or on the economic well-being of individual 
                United States companies and their employees and 
                communities does not exceed the benefit to the United 
                States foreign policy, nonproliferation, or national 
                security interests; and
                    (F) the United States has the ability to enforce 
                the proposed controls effectively.
    (b) Consultation With Industry.--The Secretary shall consult with 
and seek advice from affected United States industries and export 
advisory committees appointed under section 104(f) before the 
imposition, expansion, or extension of any export control under this 
section.
    (c) Consultation With Other Countries.--When expanding or extending 
export controls under this section (unless such action is taken under 
subsection (a)(3)(B)), the Secretary of State, in consultation with 
appropriate departments and agencies, shall, at the earliest 
appropriate opportunity, consult with the countries with which the 
United States maintains export controls cooperatively, and with other 
countries, as appropriate, to advise them of the reasons for the action 
and to urge them to adopt similar controls.
    (d) Consultations With the Congress.--
            (1) Consultations.--The Secretary may impose, expand, or 
        extend export controls under this section only after 
        consultation with the Congress, including the Committee on 
        International Relations of the House of Representatives and the 
        Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate.
            (2) Reports.--The Secretary may not impose or expand 
        controls under subsection (a) until the Secretary has submitted 
        to the Congress a report--
                    (A) addressing each of the criteria set forth in 
                subsection (a)(4);
                    (B) specifying the purpose of the controls;
                    (C) describing the nature, the subjects, and the 
                results of, or plans for, the consultation with 
                industry under subsection (b) and with other countries 
                under subsection (c);
                    (D) specifying the nature and results of any 
                alternative means attempted to achieve the objectives 
                of the controls, or the reasons for imposing or 
                expanding the controls without attempting any such 
                alternative means; and
                    (E) describing the availability from other 
                countries of items comparable to the items subject to 
                the controls, and describing the nature and results of 
                the efforts made to secure the cooperation of foreign 
                governments in controlling the foreign availability of 
                such comparable items.
        Such report shall also indicate how such controls will further 
        significantly the policies of the United States as set forth in 
        section 103 or will further its declared international 
        obligations.
    (e) Seeking Multilateral Support for Unilateral Controls.--The 
Secretary of State, in consultation with appropriate departments and 
agencies, shall have a continuing duty to seek support for controls 
imposed under this section by other countries and by effective 
multilateral control regimes.
    (f) Procedures and Limitations on Emergency Controls.--
            (1) Cessation of emergency controls.--
                    (A) In general.--Controls imposed under this 
                section on commodities, technology, or other 
                information shall cease to be in effect immediately 
                upon--
                            (i) the imposition of similarly restrictive 
                        controls under section 105 on the same 
                        commodities, technology, or information to the 
                        country or end user, or for the end use, with 
                        respect to which the controls were imposed 
                        under this section; or
                            (ii) the imposition of an embargo, under 
                        the International Emergency Economic Powers 
                        Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act, or other 
                        provision of law, on exports to, and imports 
                        from the country with respect to which the 
                        controls were imposed under this section.
                    (B) Conversion to multilateral agreements.--If the 
                President imposes controls on commodities, technology, 
                or other information to a country or end user, or for 
                an end use, under this section in order to fulfill 
                obligations of the United States under resolutions of 
                the United Nations or under a treaty to which the 
                United States is a party, any equivalent controls 
                imposed prior thereto under this section on the same 
                commodities, technology, or information to the same 
                country or end user, or for the same end use, shall 
                immediately cease to be in effect.
            (2) Limitations on reimposition.--Controls which have 
        ceased to be in effect under subsection (a)(3), and which have 
        not been extended under subsection (g), may not be reimposed by 
        the President under subsection (a) for a period of 6 months 
        beginning on the date on which the original controls expire, 
        unless the President determines that reimposition of controls 
        is warranted due to significant changes in circumstances since 
        the expiration of the controls.
    (g) Extension of Emergency Controls.--
            (1) Report.--If the President decides to extend controls 
        imposed under subsection (a), which are due to expire under 
        subsection (a)(3), the President shall, not later than 30 
        calendar days before the expiration of such controls, transmit 
        to the Congress a report on the proposed extension, setting 
        forth the reasons for the proposed extension in detail and 
        specifying the period of time, which may not exceed 1 year, for 
        which the controls are proposed to be extended. In particular, 
        such report shall--
                    (A) contain determinations by the President--
                            (i) that the controls are likely to 
                        continue to make substantial progress toward 
                        achieving the intended purpose of--
                                    (I) changing, modifying, or 
                                constraining the undesirable conduct or 
                                policies of the country to which the 
                                controls apply;
                                    (II) denying access by the country 
                                to controlled items from all sources;
                                    (III) establishing multilateral 
                                cooperation to deny the country access 
                                to controlled items from all sources; 
                                or
                                    (IV) denying exports or assistance 
                                that significantly contributes to the 
                                proliferation of weapons of mass 
                                destruction or other important military 
                                capabilities, terrorism, or human 
                                rights abuses;
                            (ii) that the impact of the controls has 
                        been compatible with the foreign policy 
                        objectives of the United States and with 
                        overall United States policy toward the 
                        controlled country;
                            (iii) that the reaction of other countries 
                        to the imposition or expansion of the controls 
                        by the United States has not rendered the 
                        controls ineffective in achieving the intended 
                        purpose and have not been counterproductive to 
                        United States policy interests;
                            (iv) that the effect of the controls on the 
                        export performance of the United States, the 
                        competitive position of the United States as a 
                        supplier of items, and the economic well-being 
                        of individual United States companies and their 
                        employees and communities has not exceeded the 
                        benefit to the United States foreign policy, 
                        nonproliferation, or national security 
                        interests; and
                            (v) that the United States has enforced the 
                        controls effectively.
            (2) Further extensions of controls.--If, upon the 
        expiration of the controls extended under this subsection, the 
        President determines that a further extension of emergency 
        controls for an additional period of time of not more than 1 
        year is necessary, paragraph (1) shall apply to such further 
        extension.
    (h) Effect on Other Authority.--
            (1) Embargo authority.--Nothing in this section shall be 
        construed to limit the authority of the President to impose an 
        embargo on exports to, and imports from, a specific country 
        under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the 
        Trading with the Enemy Act, or other provision of law (other 
        than this title). In any case in which the President exercises 
        any such authority to impose an embargo, the requirements of 
        this section shall not apply for so long as such embargo is in 
        effect.
            (2) Effect on existing embargoes.--(A) Nothing in this 
        section affects the authorities conferred upon the President by 
        section 5(b) of the Trading with the Enemy Act, which were 
        being exercised with respect to a country on July 1, 1977, as a 
        result of a national emergency declared by the President before 
        that date, and are being exercised on the date of the enactment 
        of this Act.
            (B) Nothing in this section affects the authorities 
        conferred upon the President by the International Economic 
        Powers Act or other provision of law (other than the Export 
        Administration Act of 1979), which were being exercised with 
        respect to a country before the date of the enactment of this 
        Act as a result of a national emergency declared by the 
        President before that date, and are being exercised with 
        respect to such country on such date of enactment.
    (i) Countries Supporting International Terrorism.--
            (1) Prohibition on exports.--(A) No export described in 
        subparagraph (B) may be made to any country the government of 
        which the Secretary of State has determined has repeatedly 
        provided support for acts of international terrorism.
            (B) The exports referred to in subparagraph (A) are--
                    (i) of any commodity or technology the export of 
                which is controlled under this title pursuant to the 
                Wassenaar Arrangement, the Missile Technology Control 
                Regime, or the Australia Group, or controlled under 
                this title pursuant to section 309(c) of the Nuclear 
                Non-Proliferation Act of 1978,
                    (ii) of any other commodity or technology the 
                export of which is controlled under this title pursuant 
                to multilateral export control regimes in which the 
                United States participates, and
                    (iii) of any commodity or technology which could 
                make a significant contribution to the military 
                potential of a country described in subparagraph (A), 
                including its military logistics capability, or could 
                enhance the ability of such country to support acts of 
                international terrorism,
        other than food, medicine, or medical supplies that the 
        President determines will be used only for humanitarian 
        purposes. An individual validated license shall be required for 
        the export under this subparagraph of any such food, medicine, 
        or medical supplies.
            (C) Subsections (a)(3) and (b) shall not apply to exports 
        prohibited or restricted under this subsection.
            (D)(i) The Secretary shall maintain a list of commodities 
        and technology described in subparagraph (B)(iii). The 
        Secretary shall review the list of items on that list at least 
        annually. At the conclusion of the review, the Secretary shall 
        determine whether to remove items from the list, change the 
        specifications of items on the list, or add items to the list,

            (ii) The procedures set forth in subparagraphs (A) and (C) 
        of section 105(g)(3) shall apply to reviews under clause (i) of 
        the list of items described in subparagraph (B)(iii) to the

            (5) Waiver of prohibitions.--The President may waive the 
        prohibitions contained in paragraph (1)(A) with respect to a 
        specific transaction if--

                is essential to the national security interests of the 
                United States; and
                    (B) not less than 30 days prior to the proposed

            (7) Effect on other laws.--The provisions of this 
        subsection do not affect any other provision of law to the 
        extent such other provision imposes greater restrictions on 
        exports to any country the government of which the Secretary of 
        State has determined has repeatedly provided support for acts 
        of international terrorism than are imposed under this 
        subsection.

            (1) License required.--Crime control and detection

            (2) Concurrence of secretary of state.--
                    (A) Items on control index.--Any determination of 
                the Secretary of what commodities or technology shall 
                be included on the control index as a result of the

                made with the concurrence of the Secretary of State.
                    (B) Action on license application.--Any 
                determination of the Secretary to approve or deny an

                the concurrence of the Secretary of State.
            (3) Dispute resolution.--If the Secretary of State does not 
        agree with the Secretary with respect to any determination 
under paragraph (2), the Secretary of State shall refer the matter to 
the President for resolution.
            (4) Exceptions.--The provisions of this subsection shall 
        not apply with respect to exports to countries which are

this section shall apply to any transaction subject to the reporting

SEC. 107. SHORT SUPPLY CONTROLS.

    (a) Authority.--
            (1) In general.--In order to carry out the policy set forth 
        in section 103(4), the President may prohibit or curtail the 
        export of any commodities subject to the jurisdiction of the 
        United States or exported by any person subject to the 
        jurisdiction of the United States. In curtailing exports to 
        carry out the policy set forth in section 103(4), the President 
        shall allocate a portion of export licenses on the basis of 
        factors other than a prior history of exportation. Such factors 
        shall include the extent to which a country engages in 
        equitable trade practices with respect to United States 
        commodities and treats the United States equitably in times of 
        short supply.
            (2) Public participation.--Upon imposing quantitative 
        restrictions on exports of any commodities to carry out the 
        policy set forth in section 103(4), the Secretary shall include 
        in a notice published in the Federal Register with respect to 
        such restrictions an invitation to all interested parties to 
        submit written comments within 15 days after the date of 
        publication on the impact of such restrictions and the method 
        of licensing used to implement them.
            (3) License fees.--In imposing export controls under this 
        section, the President's authority shall include, but not be 
        limited to, the imposition of export license fees.
    (b) Monitoring.--
            (1) In general.--In order to carry out the policy set forth 
        in section 103(4), the Secretary shall monitor exports, and 
        contracts for exports, of any commodity when the volume of such 
        exports in relation to domestic supply contributes, or may 
        contribute, to an increase in domestic prices or a domestic 
        shortage, and such price increase or shortage has, or may have, 
        a serious adverse impact on the economy or any sector thereof. 
        Any such monitoring shall commence at a time adequate to assure 
        that the monitoring will result in a data base sufficient to 
        enable policies to be developed, in accordance with section 
        103(4), to mitigate a short supply situation or serious 
        inflationary price rise or, if export controls are needed, to 
        permit imposition of such controls in a timely manner. 
        Information which the Secretary requires to be furnished in 
        effecting such monitoring shall be confidential, except as 
        provided in paragraph (2).
            (2) Reports on monitoring.--The results of monitoring under 
        paragraph (1) shall, to the extent practicable, be aggregated 
        and included in weekly reports setting forth, with respect to 
        each item monitored, actual and anticipated exports, the 
        destination by country, and the domestic and worldwide price, 
        supply, and demand. Such reports may be made monthly if the 
        Secretary determines that there is insufficient information to 
        justify weekly reports.
            (3) Consultation with secretary of energy.--The Secretary 
        shall consult with the Secretary of Energy to determine whether 
        monitoring or export controls under this section are warranted 
        with respect to exports of facilities, machinery, or equipment 
        normally and principally used, or intended to be used, in the 
        production, conversion, or transportation of fuels and energy 
        (except nuclear energy), including, but not limited to--
                    (A) drilling rigs, platforms, and equipment;
                    (B) petroleum refineries, and natural gas 
                processing, liquefaction, and gasification plants;
                    (C) facilities for production of synthetic natural 
                gas or synthetic crude oil;
                    (D) oil and gas pipelines, pumping stations, and 
                associated equipment; and
                    (E) vessels for transporting oil, gas, coal, and 
                other fuels.
    (c) Petitions for Monitoring or Controls of Metallic Materials.--
            (1) In general.--(A) Any entity, including a trade 
        association, firm, or certified or recognized union or group of 
        workers, that is representative of an industry or a substantial 
segment of an industry that processes metallic materials capable of 
being recycled may transmit a written petition to the Secretary 
requesting the monitoring of exports or the imposition of export 
controls, or both, with respect to any such material, in order to carry 
out the policy set forth in section 103(4).
            (B) Each petition shall be in such form as the Secretary 
        shall prescribe and shall contain information in support of the 
        action requested. The petition shall include any information 
        reasonably available to the petitioner indicating that each of 
        the criteria set forth in paragraph (3)(A) is satisfied.
            (2) Publication of notice.--Within 15 days after receipt of 
        any petition described in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall 
        publish a notice in the Federal Register. The notice shall--
                    (A) include the name of the material that is the 
                subject to the petition;
                    (B) include the schedule B number of the material 
                as set forth in the Statistical Classification of 
                Domestic and Foreign Commodities Exported from the 
                United States;
                    (C) indicate whether the petition is requesting 
                that controls or monitoring, or both, be imposed with 
                respect to the exportation of such material; and
                    (D) provide that interested persons shall have a 
                period of 30 days beginning on the date on which the 
                notice is published to submit to the Secretary written 
                data, views, or arguments, with or without opportunity 
                for oral presentation, with respect to the matter 
                involved.
        At the request of the petitioner or any other entity described 
        in paragraph (1)(A) with respect to the material which is the 
        subject of the petition, or at the request of any entity 
        representative of producers or exporters of such material, the 
        Secretary shall conduct public hearings with respect to the 
        subject of the petition, in which case the 30-day period may be 
        extended to 45 days.
            (3) Determination of monitoring or controls.--(A) Within 45 
        days after the end of the 30- or 45-day period described in 
        paragraph (2), as the case may be, the Secretary shall 
        determine whether to impose monitoring or controls, or both, on 
        the export of the material that is the subject of the petition 
        in order to carry out the policy set forth in section 103(4). 
        In making such determination, the Secretary shall determine 
        whether--
                    (i) there has been a significant increase, in 
                relation to a specific period of time, in exports of 
                such material in relation to domestic supply and 
                demand;
                    (ii) there has been a significant increase in 
                domestic price of such material or a domestic shortage 
                of such material relative to demand;
                    (iii) exports of such material are as important as 
                any other cause of a domestic price increase or 
                shortage relative to demand found under clause (ii);
                    (iv) a domestic price increase or shortage relative 
                to demand found under clause (ii) has significantly 
                adversely affected or may significantly adversely 
                affect the national economy or any sector thereof, 
                including a domestic industry; and
                    (v) monitoring or controls, or both, are necessary 
                in order to carry out the policy set forth in section 
                103(4).
            (B) The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register a 
        detailed statement of the reasons for the Secretary's 
        determination under subparagraph (A) of whether to impose 
        monitoring or controls, or both, including the findings of fact 
        in support of that determination.
            (4) Publication of regulations.--Within 15 days after 
        making a determination under paragraph (3) to impose monitoring 
        or controls on the export of a material, the Secretary shall 
        publish in the Federal Register proposed regulations with 
        respect to such monitoring or controls. Within 30 days after 
        the publication of such proposed regulations, and after 
        considering any public comments on the proposed regulations, 
        the Secretary shall publish and implement final regulations 
        with respect to such monitoring or controls.
            (5) Consolidation of petitions.--For purposes of publishing 
        notices in the Federal Register and scheduling public hearings 
        pursuant to this subsection, the Secretary may consolidate 
        petitions, and responses to such petitions, which involve the 
        same or related materials.
            (6) Subsequent petitions on same material.--If a petition 
        with respect to a particular material or group of materials has 
        been considered in accordance with all the procedures described 
        in this subsection, the Secretary may determine, in the absence 
        of significantly changed circumstances, that any other petition 
with respect to the same material or group of materials which is filed 
within 6 months after the consideration of the prior petition has been 
completed does not merit complete consideration under this subsection.
            (7) Precedence of procedures over other reviews.--The 
        procedures and time limits set forth in this subsection with 
        respect to a petition filed under this subsection shall take 
        precedence over any review undertaken at the initiative of the 
        Secretary with respect to the same subject as that of the 
        petition.
            (8) Temporary controls.--The Secretary may impose 
        monitoring or controls, on a temporary basis, on the export of 
        a metallic material after a petition is filed under paragraph 
        (1)(A) with respect to that material but before the Secretary 
        makes a determination under paragraph (3) with respect to that 
        material only if--
                    (A) the failure to take such temporary actions 
                would result in irreparable harm to the entity filing 
                the petition, or to the national economy or segment 
                thereof, including a domestic industry, and
                    (B) the Secretary considers such action to be 
                necessary to carry out the policy set forth in section 
103(4).
            (9) Other authority not affected.--The authority under this 
        subsection shall not be construed to affect the authority of 
        the Secretary under any other provision of this title, except 
        that if the Secretary determines, on the Secretary's own 
        initiative, to impose monitoring or controls, or both, on the 
        export of metallic materials capable of being recycled, under 
        the authority of this section, the Secretary shall publish the 
        reasons for such action in accordance with paragraphs (3) (A) 
        and (B).
            (10) Submission and consideration of additional 
        information.--Nothing contained in this subsection shall be 
        construed to preclude submission on a confidential basis to the 
        Secretary of information relevant to a decision to impose or 
        remove monitoring or controls under the authority of this 
        title, or to preclude consideration of such information by the 
        Secretary in reaching decisions required under this subsection. 
        The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to 
        affect the applicability of section 552(b) of title 5, United 
        States Code.
    (d) Agricultural Commodities.--
            (1) Approval of controls by secretary of agriculture.--The 
        authority conferred by this section shall not be exercised with 
        respect to any agricultural commodity, including fats and oils, 
        forest products, or animal hides or skins, without the approval 
        of the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary of Agriculture 
        shall not approve the exercise of such authority with respect 
        to any such commodity during any period for which the supply of 
        such commodity is determined by the Secretary of Agriculture to 
        be in excess of the requirements of the domestic economy, 
        except to the extent the President determines that the controls 
        on such agricultural commodities are also imposed under section 
        106. The Secretary of Agriculture shall, by exercising the 
        authority which the Secretary of Agriculture has under other 
        applicable provisions of law, collect data with respect to 
        export sales of animal hides and skins.
            (2) Protection of stored commodities from future 
        controls.--Upon approval of the Secretary, in consultation with 
        the Secretary of Agriculture, agricultural commodities 
        purchased by or for use in a foreign country may remain in the 
        United States for export at a later date free from any 
        quantitative limitations on export which may be imposed to 
        carry out the policy set forth in section 103(4) subsequent to 
        such approval. The Secretary may not grant such approval unless 
        the Secretary receives adequate assurance and, in conjunction 
        with the Secretary of Agriculture, finds--
                    (A) that such commodities will eventually be 
                exported,
                    (B) that neither the sale nor export thereof will 
                result in an excessive drain of scarce material and 
                have a serious domestic inflationary impact,
                    (C) that storage of such commodities in the United 
                States will not unduly limit the space available for 
                storage of domestically owned commodities, and
                    (D) that the purpose of such storage is to 
                establish a reserve of such commodities for later use, 
                not including resale to or use by another country.
        The Secretary may issue such regulations as may be necessary to 
        carry out this paragraph.
            (3) Procedures for imposing controls.--(A) If the President 
        imposes export controls on any agricultural commodity under 
        section 106 or this section, the President shall immediately 
        transmit a report on such action to the Congress, setting forth 
        the reasons for the controls in detail and specifying the 
        period of time, which may not exceed 1 year, that the controls 
        are proposed to be in effect. If the Congress, within 60 days 
        after the date of the receipt of the report, adopts a joint 
        resolution pursuant to paragraph (4) approving the imposition 
        of the export controls, then such controls shall remain in 
        effect for the period specified in the report, or until 
        terminated by the President, whichever occurs first. If the 
        Congress, within 60 days after the date of its receipt of such 
        report, fails to adopt a joint resolution approving such 
        controls, then such controls shall cease to be effective upon 
        the expiration of that 60-day period.
            (B) The provisions of subparagraph (A) and paragraph (4) 
        shall not apply to export controls--
                    (i) which are extended under this title if the 
                controls, when imposed, were approved by the Congress 
                under subparagraph (A) and paragraph (4); or
                    (ii) which are imposed with respect to a country as 
                part of the prohibition or curtailment of all exports 
                to that country.
            (4) Expedited procedures.--(A) For purposes of this 
        paragraph, the term ``joint resolution'' means only a joint 
        resolution the matter after the resolving clause of which is as 
        follows: ``That pursuant to section 107(d)(3) of the Export 
        Administration Act of 1996, the President may impose export 
        controls as specified in the report submitted to the Congress 
        on ______.'', with the blank space being filled with the 
        appropriate date.
            (B) On the day on which a report is submitted to the House 
        of Representatives and the Senate under paragraph (3), a joint 
        resolution with respect to the export controls specified in 
        such report shall be introduced (by request) in the House by 
        the chairman of the Committee on International Relations, for 
        the chairman and the ranking minority member of the Committee, 
        or by Members of the House designated by the chairman and 
        ranking minority member; and shall be introduced (by request) 
        in the Senate by the majority leader of the Senate, for the 
        majority leader and the minority leader of the Senate, or by 
        Members of the Senate designated by the majority leader and 
        minority leader of the Senate. If either House is not in 
        session on the day on which such a report is submitted, the 
        joint resolution shall be introduced in that House, as provided 
        in the preceding sentence, on the first day thereafter on which 
        that House is in session.
            (C) If the committee of either House to which a joint 
        resolution has been referred has not reported the joint 
        resolution at the end of 30 days after its referral, the 
        committee shall be discharged from further consideration of the 
        resolution or of any other joint resolution introduced with 
        respect to the same matter.
            (D) A joint resolution under this paragraph shall be 
        considered in the Senate in accordance with the provisions of 
        section 601(b)(4) of the International Security Assistance and 
        Arms Export Control Act of 1976. For the purpose of expediting 
        the consideration and passage of joint resolutions reported or 
        discharged pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, it 
        shall be in order for the Committee on Rules of the House of 
        Representatives to present for consideration a resolution of 
        the House of Representatives providing procedures for the 
        immediate consideration of a joint resolution under this 
        paragraph which may be similar, if applicable, to the procedure 
        set forth in section 601(b)(4) of the International Security 
        Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976.
            (E) In the case of a joint resolution described in 
        subparagraph (A), if, before the passage by one House of a 
        joint resolution of that House, that House receives a 
        resolution with respect to the same matter from the other 
        House, then--
                    (i) the procedure in that House shall be the same 
                as if no joint resolution has been received from the 
                other House; but
                    (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on the 
                joint resolution of the other House.
            (5) Computation of time periods.--In the computation of the 
        period of 60 days referred to in paragraph (3)(A) and the 
        period of 30 days referred to in paragraph (4)(C), there shall 
        be excluded the days on which either House of Congress is not 
        in session because of an adjournment of more than 3 days to a 
        day certain or because of an adjournment of the Congress sine 
        die.
    (e) Barter Agreements.--
            (1) Exemption from controls.--The exportation pursuant to a 
        barter agreement of any commodities which may lawfully be 
        exported from the United States, for any commodities which may 
        lawfully be imported into the United States, may be exempted, 
        in accordance with paragraph (2), from any quantitative 
        limitation on exports (other than any reporting requirement) 
        imposed to carry out the policy set forth in section 103(4).
            (2) Criteria for exemption.--The Secretary shall grant an 
        exemption under paragraph (1) if the Secretary finds, after 
        consultation with the appropriate department or agency of the 
        United States, that--
                    (A) for the period during which the barter 
                agreement is to be performed--
                            (i) the average annual quantity of the 
                        commodities to be exported pursuant to the 
                        barter agreement will not be required to 
                        satisfy the average amount of such commodities 
                        estimated to be required annually by the 
                        domestic economy and will be surplus thereto; 
                        and
                            (ii) the average annual quantity of the 
                        commodities to be imported will be more than 
                        the average amount of such commodities 
                        estimated to be required annually to supplement 
                        domestic production; and
                    (B) the parties to such barter agreement have 
                demonstrated adequately that they intend, and have the 
                capacity, to perform such barter agreement.
            (3) Definition.--For purposes of this subsection, the term 
        ``barter agreement'' means any agreement which is made for the 
exchange, without monetary consideration, of any commodities produced 
in the United States for any commodities produced outside of the United 
States.
            (4) Applicability.--This subsection shall apply only with 
        respect to barter agreements entered into after September 30, 
        1979.
    (f) Effect of Controls on Existing Contracts.--
            (1) Western red cedar.--Any export controls imposed under 
        section 7(i) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 or this 
        section shall not affect any contract to harvest unprocessed 
        western red cedar from State lands which was entered into 
        before October 1, 1979, and the performance of which would make 
        the red cedar available for export.
            (2) Other controls.--Any export controls imposed under this 
        section on any agricultural commodity (including fats, oils, 
        forest products, and animal hides and skins), or on any fishery 
        product, shall not affect any contract to export entered into 
        before the date on which such controls are imposed. For 
        purposes of this paragraph, the term ``contract to export'' 
        includes, but is not limited to, an export sales agreement and 
        an agreement to invest in an enterprise which involves the 
        export of commodities or technology.
    (g) Oil Exports for Use by United States Military Facilities.--For 
purposes of this section, and for purposes of any export controls 
imposed under this title, shipments of crude oil, refined petroleum 
products, or partially refined petroleum products from the United 
States for use by the Department of Defense or United States-supported 
installations or facilities shall not be considered to be exports.

SEC. 108. FOREIGN BOYCOTTS.

    (a) Prohibitions and Exceptions.--
            (1) Prohibitions.--In order to carry out the policies set 
        forth in section 103(9), the President shall issue regulations 
        prohibiting any United States person, with respect to that 
        person's activities in the interstate or foreign commerce of 
        the United States, from taking or knowingly agreeing to take 
        any of the following actions with intent to comply with, 
        further, or support any boycott fostered or imposed by a 
        foreign country against a country which is friendly to the 
        United States and which is not itself the object of any form of 
        boycott pursuant to United States law or regulation:
                    (A) Refusing, or requiring any other person to 
                refuse, to do business with or in the boycotted 
                country, with any business concern organized under the 
                laws of the boycotted country, with any national or 
                resident of the boycotted country, or with any other 
                person, pursuant to an agreement with, a requirement 
                of, or a request from or on behalf of the boycotting 
                country. The mere absence of a business relationship 
                with or in the boycotted country, with any business 
                concern organized under the laws of the boycotted 
                country, with any national or resident of the boycotted 
                country, or with any other person, does not indicate 
                the existence of the intent required to establish a 
                violation of regulations issued to carry out this 
                subparagraph.
                    (B) Refusing, or requiring any other person to 
                refuse, to employ or otherwise discriminating against 
                any United States person on the basis of the race, 
                religion, sex, or national origin of that person or of 
                any owner, officer, director, or employee of such 
                person.
                    (C) Furnishing information with respect to the 
                race, religion, sex, or national origin of any United 
States person or of any owner, officer, director, or employee of such 
person.
                    (D) Furnishing information about whether any person 
                has, has had, or proposes to have any business 
                relationship (including a relationship by way of sale, 
                purchase, legal or commercial representation, shipping 
                or other transport, insurance, investment, or supply) 
                with or in the boycotted country, with any business 
                concern organized under the laws of the boycotted 
                country, with any national or resident of the boycotted 
                country, or with any other person that is known or 
                believed to be restricted from having any business 
                relationship with or in the boycotting country. Nothing 
                in this paragraph shall prohibit the furnishing of 
                normal business information in a commercial context as 
                defined by the Secretary.
                    (E) Furnishing information about whether any person 
                is a member of, has made a contribution to, or is 
                otherwise associated with or involved in the activities 
                of any charitable or fraternal organization which 
                supports the boycotted country.
                    (F) Paying, honoring, confirming, or otherwise 
                implementing a letter of credit which contains any 
                condition or requirement compliance with which is 
                prohibited by regulations issued pursuant to this 
                paragraph, and no United States person shall, as a 
                result of the application of this paragraph, be 
                obligated to pay or otherwise honor or implement such 
                letter of credit.
            (2) Exceptions.--Regulations issued pursuant to paragraph 
        (1) shall provide exceptions for--
                    (A) complying or agreeing to comply with 
                requirements--
                            (i) prohibiting the import of commodities 
                        or services from the boycotted country or 
                        commodities produced or services provided by 
                        any business concern organized under the laws 
                        of the boycotted country or by nationals or 
                        residents of the boycotted country; or
                            (ii) prohibiting the shipment of 
                        commodities to the boycotting country on a 
                        carrier of the boycotted country, or by a route 
                        other than that prescribed by the boycotting 
                        country or the recipient of the shipment;
                    (B) complying or agreeing to comply with import and 
                shipping document requirements with respect to the 
                country of origin, the name of the carrier and route of 
                shipment, the name of the supplier of the shipment, or 
                the name of the provider of other services, except that 
                no information knowingly furnished or conveyed in 
                response to such requirements may be stated in 
                negative, blacklisting, or similar exclusionary terms, 
                other than with respect to carriers or route of 
                shipment as may be permitted by such regulations in 
                order to comply with precautionary requirements 
                protecting against war risks and confiscation;
                    (C) complying or agreeing to comply in the normal 
                course of business with the unilateral and specific 
                selection by a boycotting country, or national or 
                resident thereof, of carriers, insurers, suppliers of 
                services to be performed within the boycotting country, 
                or specific commodities which, in the normal course of 
                business, are identifiable by source when imported into 
                the boycotting country;
                    (D) complying or agreeing to comply with export 
                requirements of the boycotting country relating to 
                shipments or transshipment of exports to the boycotted 
                country, to any business concern of or organized under 
                the laws of the boycotted country, or to any national 
or resident of the boycotted country;
                    (E) compliance by an individual or agreement by an 
                individual to comply with the immigration or passport 
                requirements of any country with respect to such 
                individual or any member of such individual's family or 
                with requests for information regarding requirements of 
                employment of such individual within the boycotting 
                country; and
                    (F) compliance by a United States person resident 
                in a foreign country or agreement by such person to 
                comply with the laws of the country with respect to 
                such person's activities exclusively therein, and such 
                regulations may contain exceptions for such resident 
                complying with the laws or regulations of the foreign 
                country governing imports into such country of 
                trademarked, trade named, or similarly specifically 
                identifiable products, or components of products for 
                such person's own use, including the performance of 
                contractual services within that country, as may be 
                defined by such regulations.
            (3) Limitation on exceptions.--Regulations issued pursuant 
        to paragraphs (2)(C) and (2)(F) shall not provide exceptions 
        from paragraphs (1)(B) and (1)(C).
            (4) Antitrust and civil rights laws not affected.--Nothing 
        in the subsection may be construed to supersede or limit the 
        operation of the antitrust or civil rights laws of the United 
        States.
            (5) Evasion.--This section shall apply to any transaction 
        or activity undertaken, by or through a United States person or 
        any other person, with intent to evade the provisions of this 
        section as implemented by the regulations issued pursuant to 
        this subsection, and such regulations shall expressly provide 
        that the exceptions set forth in paragraph (2) shall not permit 
        activities or agreements (expressed or implied by a course of 
        conduct, including a pattern of responses) otherwise 
        prohibited, which are not within the intent of such exceptions.
    (b) Additional Regulations and Reports.--
            (1) Regulations.--In addition to the regulations issued 
        pursuant to subsection (a), regulations issued under section 
        106 shall implement the policies set forth in section 103(9).
            (2) Reports by united states persons.--Such regulations 
        shall require that any United States person receiving a request 
        for the furnishing of information, the entering into or 
        implementing of agreements, or the taking of any other action 
        referred to in section 103(9) shall report that fact to the 
        Secretary, together with such other information concerning such 
        request as the Secretary may require, for such action as the 
        Secretary considers appropriate for carrying out the policies 
        of that section. Such person shall also report to the Secretary 
        whether such person intends to comply and whether such person 
        has complied with such request. Any report filed pursuant to 
        this paragraph shall be made available promptly for public 
        inspection and copying, except that information regarding the 
        quantity, description, and value of any commodities or 
        technology to which such report relates may be kept 
        confidential if the Secretary determines that disclosure 
        thereof would place the United States person involved at a 
        competitive disadvantage. The Secretary shall periodically 
        transmit summaries of the information contained in such reports 
        to the Secretary of State for such action as the Secretary of 
        State, in consultation with the Secretary, considers 
        appropriate for carrying out the policies set forth in section

issued under this section shall preempt any law, rule, or regulation 
which--
            (1) is a law, rule, or regulation of any of the several 
        States or the District of Columbia, or any of the territories

SEC. 109. PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING EXPORT LICENSE APPLICATIONS; OTHER 
              INQUIRIES.

    (a) Primary Responsibility of the Secretary.--
            (1) In general.--All export license applications required 
        under this title shall be submitted by the applicant to the 
        Secretary. Subject to the procedures provided in this section--
                    (A) if referral of an application to other 
                departments or agencies for review is not required, the 
                Secretary shall, within 9 days after receiving the 
                application, issue a license or notify the applicant of 
                the intent to deny the application; or
                    (B) if referral of the application to other 
                departments or agencies for review is required, the 
                Secretary shall, within 30 days after referral of any 
                such application to other departments or agencies--
                            (i) issue a license;
                            (ii) notify the applicant of the intent to 
                        deny the application; or
                            (iii) ensure that the application is 
                        subject to the interagency resolution process 
                        set forth in subsection (d).
            (2) Recommendations of other agencies.--The Secretary shall 
        seek information and recommendations from the Department of 
        Defense and other departments and agencies of the United States 
        that are identified by the President as being concerned with 
        factors having an important bearing on exports administered 
        under this title. Such departments and agencies shall cooperate 
        fully and promptly in rendering information and 
        recommendations.
            (3) Procedures.--In guidance and regulations that implement 
        this section, the Secretary shall describe the procedures 
        required by this section, the responsibilities of the Secretary 
        and of other departments and agencies in reviewing 
        applications, the rights of the applicant, and other relevant 
        matters affecting the review of license applications.
            (4) Calculation of processing times.--In calculating the 
        processing times set forth in this section, the Secretary shall 
        use calendar days, except that if the final day for a required 
        action falls on a weekend or holiday, that action shall be 
        taken no later than the following business day.
            (5) Reliability of parties.--In reviewing applications for 
        export licenses, the Secretary may in each case consider the 
        reliability of the parties to the proposed export. In making 
        such an evaluation, the Secretary may consider all sources of 
        information, including results of other United States 
        Government actions, such as actions by the Committee on Foreign 
        Investment in the United States, investigations of diversions 
        from authorized end uses or end users, and intelligence 
        information, except that the consideration of such information 
        in connection with the evaluation of the reliability of parties 
        shall not authorize the direct or indirect disclosure of 
        classified information or sources and methods of gathering 
        classified information and shall not confer a right on private 
        parties to have access to classified information.
    (b) Initial Screening.--
            (1) Upon receipt of application.--Upon receipt of an export 
        license application, the Secretary shall enter and maintain in 
        the records of the Department of Commerce information regarding 
        the receipt and status of the application.
            (2) Initial procedures.--Promptly upon receiving any 
        license application, the Secretary shall--
                    (A) contact the applicant if the application is 
                improperly completed or if additional information is 
                required, and hold the application for a reasonable 
                time while the applicant provides the necessary 
                corrections or information, and such time shall not be 
                included in calculating the time periods prescribed in 
                this section;
                    (B) refer the application, including all 
                information submitted by the applicant, and all 
                necessary recommendations and analyses by the Secretary 
                to the Department of Defense and other departments and 
                agencies identified by the President under subsection 
                (a)(2); and
                    (C) ensure that the classification stated on the 
                application for the export items is correct, return the 
                application if a license is not required, and, if 
                referral to other departments or agencies is not 
                required, grant the application or notify the applicant 
                of the Secretary's intent to deny the application.
        In the event that the head of a department or agency determines 
        that certain types of applications need not be referred to the 
        department or agency, such department or agency head shall 
        notify the Secretary of the specific types of such applications 
        that the department or agency does not wish to review.
    (c) Action by Other Departments and Agencies.--
            (1) Referral to other agencies.--The Secretary shall 
        promptly refer license applications to departments and agencies 
        under subsection (b) to make recommendations and provide 
        information to the Secretary.
            (2) Responsibility of referral agencies.--The Department of 
        Defense and other reviewing departments and agencies shall 
        organize their resources and units to plan for the prompt and 
        expeditious internal dissemination of export license 
        applications, if necessary, so as to avoid delays in responding 
        to the referral of applications.
            (3) Additional information requests.--Each department or 
        agency to which a license application is referred shall specify 
        to the Secretary any information that is not in the application 
        that would be required for the department or agency to make a 
        determination with respect to the application, and the 
        Secretary shall promptly request such information from the 
        applicant. The time that may elapse between the date the 
        information is requested by that department or agency and the 
        date the information is received by that department or agency 
        shall not be included in calculating the time periods 
        prescribed in this section.
            (4) Time period for action by referral departments and 
        agencies.--Within 30 days after receiving a referral of an 
        application under this section, the department or agency 
        concerned shall provide the Secretary with a recommendation 
        either to approve the license or to deny the license. A 
        recommendation that the Secretary deny a license shall include 
        a statement of reasons for the recommendation that are 
        consistent with the provisions of this title, and shall cite 
        both the specific statutory and the regulatory basis for the 
        recommendation. A department or agency that fails to provide a 
        recommendation in accordance with this paragraph within that 
        30-day period shall be deemed to have no objection to the 
        decision of the Secretary on the application.
    (d) Interagency Resolution.--
            (1) Initial resolution.--The Secretary shall establish, 
        select the chairperson of, and determine procedures for an 
        interagency committee to review initially all license 
        applications on which the departments and agencies reviewing 
        the applications under this section are not in agreement. The 
        chairperson of such committee shall consider the 
        recommendations of the departments and agencies reviewing a 
        particular application and inform them of his or her decision 
        on the application, which may include a decision that the 
        particular application requires further consideration under the 
        procedures established under paragraph (2). An application may 
        also be referred to further consideration under the procedures 
        established under paragraph (2) if an appeal from the 
        chairperson's decision is made in writing by an official of the 
        department or agency concerned who is appointed by the 
        President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, or 
        an officer properly acting in such capacity.
            (2) Further resolution.--The President shall establish a 
        process for the further review and determination of export 
        license applications pursuant to a decision by the chairperson 
        under paragraph (1) or an appeal by a department or agency 
        under paragraph (1). Such process shall--
                    (A) be chaired by the Secretary or his or her 
                designee;
                    (B) ensure that license applications are resolved 
                or referred to the President no later than 90 days 
                after the date the license application is initially 
                received by the Secretary;
                    (C) provide that a department or agency dissenting 
                from the decision reached under subparagraph (B) may 
                appeal the decision to the President; and
                    (D) provide that a department or agency that fails 
                to take a timely position, citing the specific 
                statutory and regulatory bases for a denial, shall be 
                deemed to have no objection to the pending decision.
    (e) Actions by the Secretary If Application Denied.--In cases where 
the Secretary has determined that an application should be denied, the 
applicant shall be informed in writing of--
            (1) the determination to deny;
            (2) the specific statutory and regulatory bases for the 
        proposed denial;
            (3) what, if any, modifications in or restrictions on the 
        items for which the license was sought would allow such export 
        to be compatible with export controls imposed under this title, 
        and which officer or employee of the Department of Commerce 
        would be in a position to discuss modifications or restrictions 
        with the applicant and the specific statutory and regulatory 
        bases for imposing such modifications or restrictions;
            (4) to the extent consistent with the national security and 
        foreign policy of the United States, the specific 
        considerations that led to the determination to deny the 
        application; and
            (5) the availability of appeal procedures.
        The Secretary shall allow the applicant 20 days to respond to 
        the determination before the license application is denied.
    (f) Exceptions From Required Time Periods.--The following actions 
related to processing an application shall not be included in 
calculating the time periods prescribed in this section:
            (1) Agreement of the applicant.--Delays upon which the 
        Secretary and the applicant mutually agree.
            (2) Prelicense checks.--A prelicense check that may be 
        required to establish the identity and reliability of the 
        recipient of items controlled under this title, if--
                    (A) the need for the prelicense check is determined 
                by the Secretary, or by another department or agency if 
                the request for the prelicense check is made by such 
                department or agency;
                    (B) the request for the prelicense check is sent by 
                the Secretary within 5 days after the determination 
                that the prelicense check is required; and
                    (C) the analysis of the result of the prelicense 
                check is completed by the Secretary within 5 days.
            (3) Requests for government-to-government assurances.--Any 
        request by the Secretary or another department or agency for 
        government-to-government assurances of suitable end uses of 
        items approved for export, when failure to obtain such 
        assurances would result in rejection of the application, if--
                    (A) the request for such assurances is sent to the 
                Secretary of State within 5 days after the 
                determination that the assurances are required;
                    (B) the Secretary of State initiates the request of 
                the relevant government within 10 days thereafter; and

                Secretary receives the requested assurances.
        Whenever a prelicense check described in paragraph (2) and 
        assurances described in this paragraph are not requested within 
        the time periods set forth therein, then the time expended for 
        such prelicense check or assurances shall be included in 
        calculating the time periods established by this section.
            (4) Multilateral review.--Multilateral review of a license 
        application to the extent that such multilateral review is 
        required by a relevant multilateral regime.
            (5) Congressional notification.--Such time as is required 
        for mandatory congressional notifications under this title.
            (6) Consultations.--Consultation with other governments, if 
        such consultation is provided for by a relevant multilateral 
        regime as a precondition for approving a license.
    (g) Appeals.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall establish appropriate 
        procedures for any applicant to appeal to the Secretary the 
        denial of an export license application or other administrative 
        action under this title.
            (2) Filing of petition.--In any case in which any action 
        prescribed in this section is not taken on a license 
        application within the time periods established by this section 
        (except in the case of a time period extended under subsection 
        (f) of which the applicant is notified), the applicant may file 
        a petition with the Secretary requesting compliance with the 
        requirements of this section. When such petition is filed, the 
        Secretary shall take immediate steps to correct the situation 
        giving rise to the petition and shall immediately notify the 
        applicant of such steps.
            (3) Bringing court action.--If, within 20 days after a 
        petition is filed under paragraph (2), the processing of the 
        application has not been brought into conformity with the 
        requirements of this section, or the application has been 
        brought into conformity with such requirements but the 
        Secretary has not so notified the applicant, the applicant may 
        bring an action in an appropriate United States district court 
        for an order requiring compliance with the time periods 
        required by this section. The United States district courts

                            (ii) any export of items that the exporter 
                        knows is destined for a project or facility for 
                        the design, development, or manufacture of a

                President to initiate consultations immediately with 
                the government with primary jurisdiction over that 
                foreign person with respect to the imposition of

                government has taken specific and effective actions, 
                including appropriate penalties, to terminate the 
                involvement of the foreign person in the activities 
                described in paragraph (1)(A). The President may delay 
                imposition of sanctions for an additional period of up 
                to 90 days if the President determines and certifies to 
                the Congress that that government is in the process of

                determination under paragraph (1)(A), on the status of 
                consultations with the appropriate government under 
                this subsection, and the basis for any determination 
                under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph that such 
                government has taken specific corrective actions.
            (3) Sanctions.--
                    (A) Description of sanctions.--The sanctions to be 
                imposed pursuant to paragraph (1)(A) are, except as 
                provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, the

                        be prohibited.

                                    (I) under existing contracts or

                                the defense articles or services, that 
                                the defense articles or services are

                                    (III) if the President determines 
                                that such articles or services are 
                                essential to the national security

                        the President publishes his intention to impose 
                        sanctions;
                            (iii) to--
                                    (I) spare parts,
                                    (II) component parts, but not 
                                finished products, essential to United 
                                States products or production, or
                                    (III) routine servicing and 
                                maintenance of products, to the extent 
                                that alternative sources are not 
                                readily or reasonably available;
                            (iv) to information and technology 
                        essential to United States products or 
                        production; or
                            (v) to medical or other humanitarian items.
            (4) Termination of sanctions.--The sanctions imposed 
        pursuant to this subsection shall apply for a period of at 
        least 12 months following the imposition of sanctions and shall 
        cease to apply thereafter only if the President determines and 
        certifies to the Congress that reliable information indicates 
        that the foreign person with respect to which the determination 
        was made under paragraph (1)(A) has ceased to aid or abet any 
        foreign government, project, or entity in its efforts to 
        acquire chemical or biological weapons capability as described 
        in that paragraph.
            (5) Waiver.--
                    (A) Criterion for waiver.--The President may waive 
                the application of any sanction imposed on any person 
                pursuant to this subsection, after the end of the 12-
                month period beginning on the date on which that 
                sanction was imposed on that person, if the President 
                determines and certifies to the Congress that such 
                waiver is important to the national security interests 
                of the United States.
                    (B) Notification of and report to congress.--If the 
                President decides to exercise the waiver authority 
                provided in subparagraph (A), the President shall so 
                notify the Congress not less than 20 days before the 
                waiver takes effect. Such notification shall include a 
                report fully articulating the rationale and 
                circumstances which led the President to exercise the 
                waiver authority.
            (6) Definition of foreign person.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``foreign person'' means--
                    (A) an individual who is not a citizen of the 
                United States or an alien lawfully admitted for 
                permanent residence to the United States; or
                    (B) a corporation, partnership, or other entity 
                which is created or organized under the laws of a 
                foreign country or which has its principal place of 
                business outside the United States.

            (1) Violations by united states persons.--
                    (A) Sanctions.--(i) If the President determines 
                that a United States person knowingly--
                            (I) exports, transfers, or otherwise 
                        engages in the trade of any item on the MTCR 
                        Annex, in violation of the provisions of 
                        section 38 (22 U.S.C. 2778) or chapter 7 of the 
                        Arms Export Control Act, this title, or any 
                        regulations or orders issued under any such 
                        provisions,
                            (II) conspires to or attempts to engage in 
                        such export, transfer, or trade, or
                            (III) facilitates such export, transfer, or 
                        trade by any other person,
                then the President shall impose the applicable 
                sanctions described in clause (ii).
                    (ii) The sanctions which apply to a United States 
                person under clause (i) are the following:
                            (I) If the item on the MTCR Annex involved

                        equipment or technology within category II of 
                        the MTCR Annex, then the President shall deny 
                        to such United States person, for a period of 2 
                        years, licenses for the transfer of missile 
                        equipment or technology controlled under this 
                        title.
                            (II) If the item on the MTCR Annex involved 
                        in the export, transfer, or trade is missile 
                        equipment or technology within category I of 
                        the MTCR Annex, then the President shall deny 
                        to such United States person, for a period of 
                        not less than 2 years, all licenses for items 
                        the export of which is controlled under this 
                        title.
                    (B) Discretionary sanctions.--In the case of any 
                determination referred to in subparagraph (A), the 
                Secretary may pursue any other appropriate penalties 
                under section 110.
                    (C) Waiver.--The President may waive the imposition 
                of sanctions under subparagraph (A) on a person with 
respect to a product or service if the President certifies to the 
Congress that--
                            (i) the product or service is essential to 
                        the national security of the United States; and
                            (ii) such person is a sole source supplier 
                        of the product or service, the product or 
                        service is not available from any alternative 
                        reliable supplier, and the need for the product 
                        or service cannot be met in a timely manner by 
                        improved manufacturing processes or 
                        technological developments.
            (2) Transfers of missile equipment or technology by foreign 
        persons.--
                    (A) Sanctions.--(i) Subject to subparagraphs (C) 
                through (G), if the President determines that a foreign 
                person, after the date of the enactment of this 
                section, knowingly--
                            (I) exports, transfers, or otherwise 
                        engages in the trade of any MTCR equipment or 
                        technology that contributes to the design, 
                        development, or production of missiles in a 
                        country that is not an adherent to the MTCR and 
                        would be, if it were United States-origin 
                        equipment or technology, subject to the 
                        jurisdiction of the United States under this 
                        title,
                            (II) conspires to or attempts to engage in 
                        such export, transfer, or trade, or
                            (III) facilitates such export, transfer, or 
                        trade by any other person,
                or if the President has made a determination with 
                respect to a foreign person, under section 73(a) of the 
                Arms Export Control Act, then the President shall 
                impose on that foreign person the applicable sanctions 
                under clause (ii).
                    (ii) The sanctions which apply to a foreign person 
                under clause (i) are the following:
                            (I) If the item involved in the export, 
                        transfer, or trade is within category II of the 
                        MTCR Annex, then the President shall deny, for 
                        a period of 2 years, licenses for the transfer 
                        to such foreign person of missile equipment or 
                        technology the export of which is controlled 
                        under this title.
                            (II) If the item involved in the export, 
                        transfer, or trade is within category I of the 
                        MTCR Annex, then the President shall deny, for 
                        a period of not less than 2 years, licenses for 
                        the transfer to such foreign person of items 
                        the export of which is controlled under this 
                        title.
                            (III) If, in addition to actions taken 
                        under subclauses (I) and (II), the President 
                        determines that the export, transfer, or trade 
                        has substantially contributed to the design, 
                        development, or production of missiles in a 
                        country that is not an adherent to the MTCR, 
                        then the President shall prohibit, for a period 
                        of not less than 2 years, the importation into 
                        the United States of products produced by that 
                        foreign person.
                    (B) Inapplicability with respect to mtcr 
                adherents.--Subparagraph (A) does not apply with 
                respect to--
                            (i) any export, transfer, or trading 
                        activity that is authorized by the laws of an 
                        adherent to the MTCR, if such authorization is 
                        not obtained by misrepresentation or fraud; or
                            (ii) any export, transfer, or trade of an 
                        item to an end user in a country that is an 
                        adherent to the MTCR.
                    (C) Effect of enforcement actions by mtcr 
                adherents.--Sanctions set forth in subparagraph (A) may 
                not be imposed under this paragraph on a person with 
                respect to acts described in such subparagraph or, if 
                such sanctions are in effect against a person on 
                account of such acts, such sanctions shall be 
                terminated, if an adherent to the MTCR is taking 
                judicial or other enforcement against that person with 
                respect to such acts, or that person has been found by 
                the government of an adherent to the MTCR to be 
                innocent of wrongdoing with respect to such acts.
                    (D) Advisory opinions.--The Secretary, in 
                consultation with the Secretary of State and the 
                Secretary of Defense, may, upon the request of any 
                person, issue an advisory opinion to that person as to 
                whether a proposed activity by that person would 
                subject that person to sanctions under this paragraph. 
                Any person who relies in good faith on such an advisory 
                opinion which states that the proposed activity would 
                not subject a person to such sanctions, and any person 
                who thereafter engages in such activity, may not be 
                made subject to such sanctions on account of such 
                activity.
                    (E) Waiver and report to congress.--(i) In any case 
                other than one in which an advisory opinion has been 
                issued under subparagraph (D) stating that a proposed 
                activity would not subject a person to sanctions under 
                this paragraph, the President may waive the application 
                of subparagraph (A) to a foreign person if the 
                President determines that such waiver is essential to 
                the national security of the United States.
                    (ii) In the event that the President decides to 
                apply the waiver described in clause (i), the President 
                shall so notify the Congress not less than 20 working 
                days before issuing the waiver. Such notification shall 
                include a report fully articulating the rationale and 
                circumstances which led the President to apply the 
                waiver.
                    (F) Additional waiver.--The President may waive the 
                imposition of sanctions under subparagraph (A) on a 
                person with respect to a product or service if the 
                President certifies to the Congress that--
                            (i) the product or service is essential to 
                        the national security of the United States; and
                            (ii) such person is a sole source supplier 
                        of the product or service, the product or 
                        service is not available from any alternative 
                        reliable supplier, and the need for the product 
                        or service cannot be met in a timely manner by 
                        improved manufacturing processes or 
                        technological developments.
                    (G) Exceptions from import sanctions.--The 
                President shall not apply the sanction under this 
                subsection prohibiting the importation of the products 
                of a foreign person--
                            (i) in the case of procurement of defense 
                        articles or defense services--
                                    (I) under existing contracts or 
                                subcontracts, including the exercise of 
                                options for production quantities to 
                                satisfy requirements essential to the 
                                national security of the United States;
                                    (II) if the President determines 
                                that the person to which the sanctions 
                                would be applied is a sole source 
                                supplier of the defense articles and 
                                services, that the defense articles or 
                                services are essential to the national 
                                security of the United States, and that 
                                alternative sources are not readily or 
                                reasonably available; or
                                    (III) if the President determines 
                                that such articles or services are 
                                essential to the national security of 
                                the United States under defense 
                                coproduction agreements;
                            (ii) to products or services provided under 
                        contracts entered into before the date on which 
                        the President publishes his intention to impose 
                        the sanctions; or
                            (iii) to--
                                    (I) spare parts,
                                    (II) component parts, but not 
                                finished products, essential to United 
                                States products or production,
                                    (III) routine services and 
                                maintenance of products, to the extent 
                                that alternative sources are not

                determination has been made.
    (b) Procedures Relating to Civil Penalties and Sanctions.--
            (1) Administrative procedures.--Any administrative sanction 
        imposed under section 110(c) may be imposed only after notice 
        and opportunity for an agency hearing on the record in

        States Code. The imposition of any such administrative sanction

            (2) Availability of charging letter.--Any charging letter

        inspection and copying.
    (c) Collection.--If any person fails to pay a civil penalty imposed 
under section 110(c), the Secretary may ask the Attorney General to 
bring a civil action in an appropriate district court to recover the 
amount imposed (plus interest at currently prevailing rates from the 
date of the final order). No such action may be commenced more than 5 
years after the order imposing the civil penalty becomes final. In such 
an action, the validity, amount, and appropriateness of such penalty 
shall not be subject to review.
    (d) Imposition of Temporary Denial Orders.--
            (1) Grounds for imposition.--In any case in which there is 
        reasonable cause to believe that a person is engaged in or is 
        about to engage in any act or practice which constitutes or 
        would constitute a violation of this title, or any regulation, 
        order, or license issued under this title, including any 
        diversion of goods or technology from an authorized end use or 
        end user, or in any case in which a criminal indictment has 
        been returned against a person alleging a violation of this 
        title or any of the statutes listed in section 110(f), the 
        Secretary may, without a hearing, issue an order temporarily 
        denying that person's United States export privileges 
        (hereafter in this subsection referred to a ``temporary denial 
        order''). A temporary denial order may be effective for no 
        longer than 180 days, but may be renewed by the Secretary, 
        following notice and an opportunity for a hearing, for 
        additional periods of not more than 180 days each.
            (2) Administrative appeals.--The person or persons subject 
        to the issuance or renewal of a temporary denial order may 
        appeal the issuance or renewal of the temporary denial order, 
        supported by briefs and other material, to an administrative 
        law judge who shall, within 15 working days after the appeal is 
        filed, issue a decision affirming, modifying, or vacating the 
        temporary denial order. The temporary denial order shall be 
        affirmed if it is shown that--
                    (A) there is reasonable cause to believe that the 
                person subject to the order is engaged in or is about 
                to engage in any act or practice which constitutes or 
                would constitute a violation of this title, or any 
                regulation, order, or license issued under this title, 
                or
                    (B) a criminal indictment has been returned against 
                the person subject to the order alleging a violation of 
                this title or any of the statutes listed in section 
                110(f).
        The decision of the administrative law judge shall be final 
        unless, within 10 working days after the date of the 
        administrative law judge's decision, an appeal is filed with 
        the Secretary. On appeal, the Secretary shall either affirm, 
modify, reverse, or vacate the decision of the administrative law judge 
by written order within 10 working days after receiving the appeal. The 
written order of the Secretary shall be final and is not subject to 
judicial review, except as provided in paragraph (3). The materials 
submitted to the administrative law judge and the Secretary shall 
constitute the administrative record for purposes of review by the 
court.
            (3) Court appeals.--An order of the Secretary affirming, in 
        whole or in part, the issuance or renewal of a temporary denial 
        order may, within 15 days after the order is issued, be 
        appealed by a person subject to the order to the United States 
        Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which 
        shall have jurisdiction of the appeal. The court may review 
        only those issues necessary to determine whether the issuance 
        of the temporary denial order was based on reasonable cause to 
        believe that the person subject to the order was engaged in or 
        was about to engage in any act or practice which constitutes or 
        would constitute a violation of this title, or any regulation, 
        order, or license issued under this title, or if a criminal 
        indictment has been returned against the person subject to the 
        order alleging a violation of this title or any of the statutes 
        listed in section 110(f). The court shall vacate the 
        Secretary's order if the court finds that the Secretary's order 
        is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise 
        not in accordance with law.

        those places outside the United States where the Customs 
        Service, pursuant to agreements or other arrangements with 
        other countries, is authorized to perform enforcement 
        activities.

                obey a subpoena issued to, any such person, a district 
                court of the United States, on request of the Attorney

                country is 25 percent or less of the total value of the 
                commodity.
                    (ii) No authority or permission may be required 
                under section 105 or section 106 to reexport to a 
                terrorist country or to an embargoed country a 
                commodity that is produced in a country other than the 
                United States and incorporates commodities that are 
                subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, if 
                the value of the controlled United States content of 
                the commodity produced in such other country is 10 
                percent or less of the total value of the commodity.
                    (B) Technology.--(i) No authority or permission may 
                be required under section 105 or section 106 to 
                reexport to a country other than a terrorist country or 
                an embargoed country technology that is produced in a 
                country other than the United States and is commingled 
                with or drawn from technology that is produced in the 
                United States, if the value of the controlled United 
                States content of the technology produced in such other 
                country is 25 percent or less of the total value of the 
                technology.
                    (ii) No authority or permission may be required 
                under section 105 or section 106 to reexport to a 
                terrorist country or an embargoed country technology 
                that is produced in a country other than the United 
                States and is commingled with or drawn from technology 
                that is produced in the United States, if the value of 
                the controlled United States content of the technology 
                produced in such other country is 10 percent or less of 
                the total value of the technology.
                    (C) Definitions.--For purposes of this paragraph--
                            (i) the ``controlled United States 
                        content'' of a commodity or technology means 
                        those commodities or technology that--
                                    (I) are subject to the jurisdiction 
                                of the United States;
                                    (II) are incorporated into the 
                                commodity or technology; and
                                    (III) would, at the time of the 
                                reexport, require a license under 
                                section 105 or 106 if exported from the 
                                United States to a country to which the 
                                commodity or technology is to be 
                                reexported;
                            (ii) an ``embargoed country'' is a country 
                        against which an embargo is in effect under the 
                        Trading with the Enemy Act, the International 
                        Emergency Economic Powers Act, or other 
                        provision of law; and
                            (iii) a ``terrorist country'' is a country 
                        with respect to which a determination is in 
                        effect that was made under section 106(i)(1)(A) 
                        of this Act, or section 6(j)(1)(A) of the 
                        Export Administration Act of 1979, that the 
                        government of such country has repeatedly 
                        provided support for acts of international 
                        terrorism.
            (3) Treatment of technology and source code.--For purposes 
        of this subsection, technology and source code used to design 
        or produce foreign-made commodities are not deemed to be 
        incorporated into such foreign-made commodities.
            (4) Reporting requirements.--Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) 
        through (3), the Secretary may require persons to report to the 
        Department of Commerce their proposed calculations and 
        underlying data sufficient for the Department of Commerce to 
        evaluate the adequacy of those calculations and data related to 
        commodities and technology before a reexporter may rely upon 
        the exclusions from controls provided in this subsection.
            (5) Exceptions.--Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not require any 
        changes to regulations in effect on the effective date of this 
        title and, notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), controls may 
        be imposed on commodities or technology transferred, after 
        March 1, 1996, from export control under the Arms Export 
        Control Act to control under this title if those commodities or 
        technology are designated by the President for exemption from 
        paragraph (1) or (2), as the case may be.
    (k) Unfair Impact on United States Exporter.--
            (1) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that no 
        United States exporter should be affected unfairly by export 
        control policies or practices unless relief from such controls 
        would create a significant risk to the foreign policy, 
        nonproliferation, or national security interests of the United 
        States.
            (2) Relief from export controls.--(A) A person may petition 
        the Secretary for relief from current export control 
        requirements (other than control requirements specifically 
        imposed by this title or other provisions of law) on the basis 
        of foreign availability. A person may also petition the 
        Secretary for approval of an export license application on 
        other grounds which the Secretary, with the concurrence of the 
        Secretary of Defense, shall establish by regulation. The 
        Secretary shall, upon receipt of such petitions, and may, on 
        his or her initiative, conduct assessments for providing relief 
        based upon these grounds.
            (B) For purposes of this subsection, foreign availability 
        exists when the controlled item is available in fact, under 
        terms and conditions established by the Secretary with the 
        concurrence of the Secretary of Defense, to controlled 
        countries or end users from sources outside the United States 
        so that the requirement for a license is or would be 
        ineffective in achieving the purpose of the control.
            (3) Provisions for relief.--The Secretary, in consultation 
        with appropriate departments and agencies, shall make 
        determinations of facts under paragraph (2), addressing, in the 
        case of a petition filed under paragraph (2), each ground for 
        relief asserted in the petition, and, subject to paragraph (4), 
        shall provide at least one of the following forms of relief to 
        persons that meet the criteria in paragraph (2):
                    (A) Change the control status of, or licensing 
                requirements on, all or some of the items in question 
                so as to eliminate the unfair impact.
                    (B) Selectively approve the sale of controlled 
                items so as to eliminate the unfair impact.
                    (C) Seek multilateral support to eliminate the 
                source of unfair impact. If relief under this 
                subparagraph is chosen and if such efforts fail to 
                achieve multilateral support, then the Secretary, not 
                later than 330 days from the date of the Secretary's 
                initiation of the assessment under paragraph (2), shall 
                provide other relief pursuant to subparagraph (A) or 
                (B) or conclude pursuant to paragraph (4) that the 
                granting of such relief would create a significant risk 
                to United States nonproliferation, foreign policy, or 
                national security interests.
        A determination that a petitioner qualifies for relief under 
        paragraph (2) shall not compel the United States to remove 
        controls from an item that remains subject to control by a 
        multilateral regime.
            (4) Exceptions from relief.--The Secretary shall provide 
        relief under paragraph (3) to a petitioner who qualifies for 
        relief under paragraph (2) unless the Secretary concludes that 
        the granting of such relief would create a significant risk to 
        United States nonproliferation, foreign policy, or national 
        security interests. In the event the Secretary determines to 
        grant such relief, he or she may do so unless the President 
        determines that such relief would create a significant risk to 
the foreign policy, nonproliferation, or national security interests of 
the United States.
            (5) Procedures.--
                    (A) Publication.--In any case in which the 
                President or the Secretary determines that relief under 
                paragraph (3) will not be granted, notwithstanding the 
                existence of facts that constitute a basis for granting 
                relief, the Secretary shall publish that determination, 
                together with a concise statement of its basis and the 
                estimated economic impact of the decision.
                    (B) Notice of assessments.--Whenever the Secretary 
                undertakes an assessment under paragraph (2), the 
                Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register notice 
                of the initiation of such assessment.
                    (C) Procedures for making determinations.--During 
                the conduct of an assessment under this subsection, the 
                Secretary shall consult with other appropriate 
                departments and agencies concerning the assessment. The 
                Secretary shall make a determination as to whether 
                relief is required under paragraph (2) within 120 days 
                after the date of the Secretary's receipt of the 
                petition requesting relief or the date of the 
                Secretary's initiation of the assessment (as the case 
                may be) and shall so notify the applicant. If the 
                Secretary has determined that relief is appropriate, 
                the Secretary shall, upon making such a determination, 
                submit the determination for review to the Department 
                of Defense and other appropriate departments and 
                agencies for consultations regarding the findings and 
                the relief selected. If the Secretary of Defense or 
                other department or agency head disagrees with the 
                Secretary's determination, he or she may appeal the 
                determination to the President in writing, but only on 
                the basis of the criteria set forth in paragraph (4). 
                The President shall resolve any such disagreement so 
                that, in all cases, not later than 150 days after the 
                date of the Secretary's receipt of the petition 
                requesting relief or the date of the Secretary's 
                initiation of the assessment (as the case may be), the 
                Secretary responds in writing to the petitioner and 
                submits for publication in the Federal Register, that--
                            (i) unfair impact exists and--
                                    (I) the requirement of a license 
                                has been removed;
                                    (II) the control status of all or 
                                some of the items in question has been 
                                changed so as to eliminate the unfair 
                                impact;
                                    (III) the sale of controlled items 
                                has been approved so as to eliminate 
                                the unfair impact;
                                    (IV) export controls under this 
                                title are to be maintained 
                                notwithstanding the finding under 
                                paragraph (2); or
                                    (V) the United States 
                                recommendation to remove the license 
                                requirement or change the control 
                                status will be submitted to a relevant 
                                multilateral regime for consideration 
                                for a period of not more than 180 days 
                                beginning on the date of the 
                                publication; or
                            (ii) a right to relief under paragraph (2) 
                        does not exist.
                The reasons for maintaining export controls under 
                clause (i)(IV) shall be included in the submission to 
                the petitioner and the publication. In any case in 
                which the submission for publication is not made within 
the 150-day period required by this subparagraph, the Secretary may not 
thereafter require a license for the export of items that are the 
subject of the allegation under paragraph (2).
                    (D) Negotiations to eliminate unfair impact.--(i) 
                In any case in which export controls are maintained 
                under this section pursuant to paragraph (4) despite a 
                determination of unfair impact, the Secretary of State 
                shall actively pursue negotiations with the governments 
                of the appropriate foreign countries for the purpose of 
                eliminating the unfair impact. No later than the 
                commencement of such negotiations, the Secretary of 
                State shall notify the Congress in writing that the 
                Secretary of State has begun such negotiations and why 
                it is important that export controls on the items 
                involved be maintained to avoid a significant risk to 
                the foreign policy, nonproliferation, or national 
                security interests of the United States.
                    (ii) Whenever the Secretary of State has reason to 
                believe that items subject to export controls by the 
                United States may become available in fact from other 
                countries to controlled countries and that such 
                availability can be prevented or eliminated by means of 
                negotiations with such other countries, the Secretary 
                of State shall promptly initiate negotiations with the 
                governments of such other countries to prevent such 
                foreign availability.
            (6) Sharing of information.--Each department or agency of 
        the United States, including any intelligence agency, and all 
        contractors with any such department or agency, shall, upon the 
        request of the Secretary and consistent with the protection of 
        intelligence sources and methods, furnish information to the 
        Department of Commerce concerning foreign availability of items 
        subject to export controls under this title. Consistent with 
        the protection of intelligence sources and methods and 
        classification restrictions, each such department or agency 
        shall allow the Department of Commerce access to such 
        information from a laboratory or other facility within such 
        department or agency.
            (7) Congressional notification and reporting 
        requirements.--The Secretary shall each year notify the 
        Congress of all petitions for relief under this subsection and 
        the status of all such petitions.
    (l) Exceptions for Medical and Humanitarian Purposes.--This title 
does not authorize controls on--
            (1) medicine or medical supplies; or
            (2) donations of items that are intended to meet basic 
        human needs, including food, educational materials, seeds, hand 
        tools, water resources equipment, clothing and shelter 
        materials, and basic household supplies.
    (m) Sanctity of Existing Contracts and Licenses.--
            (1) In general.--In the case of a control imposed under 
        section 106 on the export of any items, the President may not 
        prohibit the export of those items--
                    (A) in performance of a contract, agreement, or 
                other contractual commitment entered into before the 
                date on which the control is initially imposed, or the 
                date on which the President reports to the Congress the 
                President's intention to impose the control, whichever 
                date occurs first, or
                    (B) under a license or other authorization issued 
                under this title before the date on which the control 
                is initially imposed, or the date on which the 
                President reports to the Congress the President's 
intention to impose the control, whichever date occurs first.
            (2) Exception.--The prohibition in paragraph (1) shall not 
        apply if the President determines and certifies to the Congress 
        that--
                    (A) a breach of the peace poses a serious and 
                direct threat to the strategic interest of the United 
                States;
                    (B) the prohibition of exports under each such 
                contract, agreement, commitment, license, or 
                authorization will be directly instrumental in 
                remedying the situation posing the direct threat; and
                    (C) the export controls will continue only so long 
                as the direct threat persists.
        The authority of the President to make determinations under 
        this paragraph may not be delegated.
    (n) Publication of Decisions and Actions of the Secretary.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall publish in the Federal 
        Register, to the greatest extent practicable, actions, 
        procedures, and decisions of the Secretary under this title, 
        taking into account restrictions on disclosure of classified or 
        confidential information. The Secretary shall publish in the 
        Federal Register calculations by the Secretary of commonly-used 
        control index parameters for commodities and technologies, 
        including all officially accepted composite theoretical 
        performance calculations for computers and microprocessors, 
        except in a case in which a private party requested the 
        calculation and asked that it not be published.
            (2) Notice of revisions.--Whenever the Secretary makes any 
        revision in the control index with respect to any commodity or 
        technology, or with respect to any country or destination 
        affected by controls imposed under section 105 or section 106, 
        the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register a notice of 
        such revision and shall specify in such notice under which 
        authority the revision is being made.
    (o) Notification of the Public; Consultation With Industry; 
Recordkeeping.--
            (1) Notification of the public.--The Secretary shall keep
