(Export controls maintained for foreign policy purposes require annual extension according to the provisions of Section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended. Section 6(f) of the EAA requires the President to submit a report to Congress to extend the controls. BIS’ report complies with all of the requirements set out in the EAA for extending, amending, or imposing foreign policy controls.)
Controls Remain In Effect for Replacement Parts, Etc.
As further authorized by the EAA, foreign policy export controls remain in effect for replacement parts and for parts contained in goods subject to such controls. The controls administered in accordance with procedures established pursuant to Section 309(c) of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Act of 1978 similarly remain in effect.
1Although this report covers the 2011 calendar year, most of the statistical data presented in the report are based on fiscal year 2011 export licensing statistics, unless otherwise noted.
