Summary

This bill requires the Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security to mandate a license for exporting, reexporting, or in-country transferring certain advanced integrated circuits to entities in or ultimately owned by countries of concern, and establishes related oversight and exemption programs.

Sec. 2, License requirement for exports of covered integrated circuits to countries of concern: The bill defines "covered integrated circuit" as certain high-performance chips (e.g., those with specific processing power or bandwidth) and products containing them, excluding those not designed for data centers. It requires a license for exporting such circuits to entities in or ultimately owned by countries of concern (China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela under Maduro). The Under Secretary must certify to Congress at least 30 days before approving any such license, including details on the end-user, conditions to prevent military use, and impact on U.S. supply and AI leadership. Congress can block the license via a joint resolution. Existing licenses for such exports are terminated. A temporary prohibition on all such licenses applies until 14 days after a national security strategy is submitted. The bill also creates an exemption for "trusted United States persons" exporting to non-concern countries, with regulations to be issued within 90 days, including security standards, limits on foreign ownership, and annual audits. The Under Secretary must consider expanding this exemption to allies. Finally, the bill requires a national security strategy assessing implications of such exports, including an intelligence assessment of China's chip production and AI capabilities.
