This bill changes how certain export-control disputes are decided. It amends section 1763(c) of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018. The changes say that cases relating to countries subject to a comprehensive United States arms embargo must be decided (changing language from "may be decided" to "shall be decided"). The bill also allows the chair of the committee that reviews export disputes to decide any case the committee cannot resolve by a majority vote. Finally, it defines "country subject to a comprehensive United States arms embargo" by reference to table 1 to paragraph (d)(1) of 22 C.F.R. §126.1 as in effect the day before enactment and explicitly adds the Russian Federation to that definition.
If you are involved in export licensing, compliance, or review of export-control decisions, this bill would change the review process for cases tied to countries under a comprehensive arms embargo. Decisions in those cases are required rather than discretionary, and the committee chair can make a final decision when the committee does not reach a majority vote.
