Interagency Coordination in Export Controls Act of 2026
This bill establishes a formal process for interagency coordination in export control rulemaking, requiring the Secretary of State, Defense, or Energy to submit proposals to the Export Administration Review Board for review and voting. It also mandates a comprehensive review by the Secretary of State within 30 days of enactment to assess how China's military-civil fusion strategy impacts U.S. export controls and national security, covering topics such as technology exploitation and end-use reliability. Based on this review, the Secretary must consider policy changes within 90 days, which would then be voted on by the Board before being reported to Congress within 150 days. The legislation directly affects federal agencies responsible for export controls and requires coordination between the State, Defense, and Energy departments.
