Request for Comments on Effects of Foreign Policy-Based Export Controls

The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is reviewing the foreign policy-based export controls in the Export Administration Regulations to determine whether they should be modified, rescinded or extended. To help make these determinations, BXA is seeking comments on how existing foreign policy-based export controls have affected exporters and the general public. Section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (EAA), requires a report to Congress whenever foreign policy-based export controls are extended. Although the EAA expired on August 20, 1994, the President, invoking the International Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA), continued in effect the export control system in place under the provisions of the Act and the Export Administration Regulations, to the extent permitted by law, in Executive Order 12924 of August 19, 1994 and Notice 42767 of August 15, 1995. Under a policy of conforming actions under the Executive Order to those under the EAA, the Department of Commerce, insofar as appropriate, is following the provisions of section 6 in reviewing foreign policy-based export controls and requesting comments on such controls.
