Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of State's implementation of the Feingold Amendment, a statutory prohibition governing incentive payments on offset programs, focusing on the: (1) status of the State's efforts to issue implementing regulations; and (2) need for such regulations.<p/>GAO noted that: (1) the Department of State has made little progress in developing regulations implementing the Feingold Amendment because of internal disagreements over which organizational component should draft implementing language and the low priority assigned to completing this task; and (2) regulations are needed to clarify key definitions contained in the law and establish how State will implement the law's enforcement and penalty provisions https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-189/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-189.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-189/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-189.pdf GAO/NSIAD-97-189 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-189 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-97-189; Military Offsets: Regulations Needed to Implement Prohibition on Incentive Payments; Foreign military sales International trade regulation Foreign military sales policies International trade restriction Foreign military sales contracts Department of Defense contractors Export regulation Foreign Military Sales Program Title 22 Section 2761 Title 22 Section 2762 Title 22 Section 2778 Title 22 Section 2779a Title 22 Section 2779a(d)(2) 22 U.S.C. 2761 22 U.S.C. 2762 22 U.S.C. 2778 22 U.S.C. 2779a 22 U.S.C. 2779a(d)(2) Title 50 Appendix 2099 Title 50 Appendix 2410 50 U.S.C.
