security sphere by systematically
reviewing the Commerce Control List,
with advice from independent experts,
to eliminate those items and
technologies that have little or no such
consequences.’’
The DEAC’s recommendations
contained in the report constitute a
written request from representatives of a
substantial segment of an industry that
produces goods or technology subject to
export controls, a requirement under
Section 5(h) of the EAA for the
establishment of a technical advisory
committee. Specifically, the DEAC’s
members were senior officials with
significant experience in business,
educational research, and national
homeland security matters related to
scientific and engineering knowledge.
As such, they represented a substantial
segment of an affected industry that
produces items subject to export
controls, namely, the U.S. technology
community, which is engaged in
producing technical data and providing
technical assistance.
Finally, the President issued a DualUse Trade Reform directive on January
22, 2008 that called for export controls
to be constantly reassessed to ensure
that they control the export and reexport
of sensitive items while minimizing
their impact on U.S. economic
competitiveness and innovation. In
order to meet this objective, the
President directed the Secretary of
Commerce to develop a regularized
process that would consider input by
technical advisory committees in the
review and updating of the CCL.
The ETRAC will be charged with
identifying emerging technologies and
research and development activities that
may be of interest from a dual-use
perspective, prioritizing new and
existing controls related to deemed
exports to determine which are of
greatest consequence to national
security, and examining how research is
performed to understand the impact that
the Export Administration Regulations
have on academia, federal laboratories,
and industry.
