Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001
Continuation of Export Control Regulations
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including but not limited to section 203 of
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act
(``Act'') (50 U.S.C. 1702), I, GEORGE W. BUSH,
President of the United States of America, find that
the unrestricted access of foreign parties to U.S.
goods and technology and the existence of certain
boycott practices of foreign nations, in light of the
expiration of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq.), constitute an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States and hereby declare a national emergency with
respect to that threat.
Accordingly, in order (a) to exercise the necessary
vigilance over exports and activities affecting the
national security of the United States; (b) to further
significantly the foreign policy of the United States,
including its policy with respect to cooperation by
U.S. persons with certain foreign boycott activities,
and to fulfill its international responsibilities; and
(c) to protect the domestic economy from the excessive
drain of scarce materials and reduce the serious
economic impact of foreign demand, it is hereby ordered
as follows:
Section 1. To the extent permitted by law, the
provisions of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended, and the provisions for administration of the
Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, shall be
carried out under this order so as to continue in full
force and effect and amend, as necessary, the export
control system heretofore maintained by the Export
Administration Regulations issued under the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended. The delegations
of authority set forth in Executive Order 12002 of July
7, 1977, as amended by Executive Order 12755 of March
12, 1991, and Executive Order 13026 of November 15,
1996; Executive Order 12214 of May 2, 1980; Executive
Order 12735 of November 16, 1990; and Executive Order
12851 of June 11, 1993, shall be incorporated in this
order and shall apply to the exercise of authorities
under this order. All actions under this order shall be
in accordance with Presidential directives relating to
the export control system heretofore issued and not
revoked.
Sec. 2. All rules and regulations issued or continued
in effect by the Secretary of Commerce under the
authority of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended, including those published in Title 15,
Subtitle B, Chapter VII, Subchapter C, of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Parts 730 through 774, and all
orders, regulations, licenses, and other forms of
administrative action issued, taken, or continued in
effect pursuant thereto, shall, until amended or
revoked by the Secretary of Commerce, remain in full
force and effect as if issued or taken pursuant to this
order, except that the provisions of sections 203(b)(2)
and 206 of the Act (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2) and 1705)
shall control over any inconsistent provisions in the
regulations. Nothing in this section shall affect the
continued applicability of administrative sanctions
provided for by the regulations described above.
Sec. 3. Provisions for administration of section 38(e)
of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778(e)) may
be made and shall continue in full force and effect
until amended or revoked under the authority of section
203 of the Act (50 U.S.C. 1702). To the extent
permitted by law, this
[[Page 44026]]
order also shall constitute authority for the issuance
and continuation in full force and effect of all rules
and regulations by the President or his delegate, and
all orders, licenses, and other forms of administrative
actions issued, taken, or continued in effect pursuant
thereto, relating to the administration of section
38(e).
Sec. 4. This order shall be effective as of midnight
between August 20, 2001, and August 21, 2001, eastern
daylight time.
