Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001
The President
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 tech-
nology 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 extraor-
dinary 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 administra-
tion 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 administra-
tive 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
