Authors: Ian F. Fergusson, Specialist in International Trade and Finance 
Abstract: The 111th Congress may consider legislation to renew, modify, or reauthorize the Export Administration Act (EAA). In the 110th Congress, several pieces of legislation were introduced that addressed various aspects of the current system, including penalties, enforcement, diversion or transhipment of goods, and the integration of export control data into the Automated Export System, yet no comprehensive reauthorization or reform was attempted.
