Maintaining American Superiority by Improving Export Control Transparency Act

This bill makes the Commerce Department share more details with Congress about export licenses tied to high‑risk foreign entities. Each year, the Bureau of Industry and Security must report on license applications, enforcement actions, and other export approvals for items under U.S. export rules that involve “covered entities.” Covered entities are organizations operating in countries under a U.S. arms embargo that are also on the Entity List or the Military End‑User List .

The reports must include who applied, what item they want to export, who the end user is and where they are, an estimated value, the decision on the request, the date submitted, and any related enforcement checks. Only summary statistics can be made public; the detailed information stays confidential. The first report is due one year after the bill becomes law, then at least once a year after that .

• Who is affected: The Commerce Department (BIS), companies seeking export approvals connected to covered entities, and Congress receiving the reports.
• What changes: BIS must send detailed annual reports on these export requests and related enforcement actions; only aggregate numbers can be public.
• When: First report within one year of enactment, then annually.
