conjunction with coordinating entities such as the National

shall compile a list of military platforms, technologies, and
equipment that are pre-cleared for third party transfers and
release to Taiwan and the Philippines.
(2) Clarification.—The list compiled under paragraph (1)
shall not supersede current or future efforts relating to
arms sales, transfers, and services to Taiwan or the
Philippines.
(3) Rules of construction.—Nothing in this section may be
construed—
(A) to supersede current and future congressional
notification requirements under the Arms Export Control Act

(B) to limit or modify the requirements of section 3356 of
title 22, United States Code.
(b) Interagency Policy.—The Secretary of State and the
Secretary of Defense shall jointly review and update
interagency policies and implementation guidance relating to
requests to transfer the pre-cleared defense articles

Taiwan or the Philippines in order to incorporate the pre-
clearance provisions of this section.
(c) Duplication.—With respect to Taiwan, the Secretary of
State and the Secretary of Defense may treat or incorporate
corresponding articles found in any list compiled under
section 3356 of title 22, United States Code, as satisfying
the requirements of subsection (a).
(d) Duration.—The requirement under subsection (a) shall
continue until the Secretary of State determines and
certifies to the relevant committees of Congress that threats
to Taiwan and the Philippines have significantly abated.
(e) Third Party Transfer Defined.—In this section, the
term “third party transfer” means any transfer of the
United States-origin defense articles, services, or technical
data that requires approval of the United States Government
under the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) or
other applicable law.
