Summary
It amends the Export Control Reform Act to require the Commerce Secretary to decide export license applications within 90 days and to notify applicants of any delay after 120 days. The law also mandates quarterly reports to Congress on license activity and a Comptroller General audit of the Bureau of Industry and Security’s review process. The aim is to give U.S. exporters more certainty and improve oversight of export controls.
