Maintaining American Superiority by Improving Export Control Transparency Act

This law requires the Bureau of Industry and Security, which is part of the Department of Commerce, to send Congress a yearly report about export licenses for certain controlled items, like products that can be used for both civilian and military purposes. The report must cover license applications and on-site checks related to sending these items to specific entities in countries under U.S. arms embargoes or on restricted lists. The report has to include details like who applied, where the item is going, and whether the license was approved, but most of this information is kept private and cannot be shared publicly, except for overall statistics. The bureau must also leave out any information that could interfere with an ongoing investigation.
