The program strives to achieve a balance between the interests of U.S. exporters, the U.S. economy and U.S. national security requirements. Management and policy coordination.--The management and policy coordination program controls the development, analysis, coordination, and consolidation of policy initiatives and responses within the BXA. Under BXA's nonproliferation and export control cooperation mission, BXA works directly with government leaders in the Newly Independent States (NIS) to develop effective controls on their strategic commodities and data. Export administration.--The export administration program assures that export activity is consistent with national security and foreign policy requirements. An increase is requested to administer and enforce the complex inspection and reporting requirements imposed on commercial chemical manufacturing facilities under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). An increase is requested for the administration of a new and complex Presidential initiative to encourage the use of strong encryption in electronic commerce and private communication while protecting the public safety and national security. Export enforcement.--The export enforcement program detects and prevents the illegal distribution of controlled U.S. goods and technical data in violation of the export administration provisions of the U.S. Code. Responsibilities also include enforcement of prohibitions against participating in unsanctioned boycotts against countries friendly to the United States. The program enforces the Fastener Quality Act and U.S. obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention; and implements counterterrorism initiatives as they relate to strategic goods.
