The activities of the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) are
designed to enforce U.S. export trade laws consistent with national
security, foreign policy, and short supply objectives. The program
strives to achieve a balance between the interests of U.S. exporters,
the U.S. economy and U.S. national security requirements.
Management and policy coordination.--The management and policy
coordination program controls the development, analysis, coordination,
and consolidation of policy initiatives and responses within the BXA.
Under BXA's nonproliferation and export control cooperation mission, BXA
works directly with government leaders in the Newly Independent States
(NIS) to develop effective controls on their strategic commodities and
data.
An increase is being requested to promote export control cooperation
with the independent states of the former Soviet Union, the Baltics, and
Central Europe in order to facilitate legitimate trade and to stop the
proliferation of sensitive items to rogue states and terrorists. These
efforts were funded by the Departments of Defense and State in the past.
Export administration.--The export administration program assures
that export activity is consistent with national security and foreign
policy requirements.
An increase is being requested to provide full year funding to
administer the on-site inspection requirements imposed on commercial
chemical manufacturing facilities under the Chemical Weapons Convention
(CWC). This program was started in 1998 and was partially funded in that
year. A second increase is being requested to fund fully the increase
that was approved for partial year funding in 1998 (due to delays in
passage of implementing legislation) to administer and enforce the
complex inspections and reporting requirements of the CWC.
Export enforcement.--The export enforcement program detects and
prevents the illegal distribution of controlled U.S. goods and technical
data in violation of the export administration provisions of the U.S.
Code. Responsibilities also include
[[Page 200]]
enforcement of prohibitions against participating in unsanctioned
boycotts against countries friendly to the United States.
An increase is being requested for (1) new responsibilities related
to encryption controls, which were moved from State to BXA by an
Executive Order; (2) fully staffing field offices for more intensive
prevention and deterrent enforcement efforts; (3) enhanced preventive
enforcement to stop and analyze illegal shipments before they reach
their point of destination; and (4) Fastener Quality Act public safety
legislation.
Activities under this account support two themes of the Commerce
Strategic Plan:
