THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT The Export Administration Act of 2001 (January 23, 2001) establishes a new export control list for sensitive U.S. technologies, and authorizes the President to establish a President's Technology Export Council, as well as Export Control Advisory Committees. New National Security Controls, Foreign Policy Controls, and Agriculture Exemptions are also authorized, together with Export Licensing and Dispute Resolution Procedures, and International Arrangements, Penalties, and Enforcement. The Export Administration Act of 2001 passed the United States Senate on September 6, 2001, but has failed to be approved by Congress. As a result, the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, has been in lapse since August 21, 2001. In the absence of an Export Administration Act, the U.S. dual-use export control system continues to be dependent on the President's invocation of emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. A new version, the Export Administration Act of 2003 (Bill H.R. 55) was introduced in Congress on January 7th, 2003 with three co-sponsors, and was referred to the House Committee on International Relations.
