Summary
This order declares a national emergency over foreign access to U.S. goods, technology, and certain foreign boycott practices and continues the country's export control system after the Export Administration Act expired.
It keeps in force existing export rules, licenses, and enforcement actions issued by the Secretary of Commerce and continues certain arms export administration provisions. Exporters, U.S. persons, businesses, and the agencies that run export rules remain subject to those requirements.
The order is effective immediately and will remain until Congress enacts a law reauthorizing export-control authorities.
