Give Congress quarterly Automated Export System license data

Research notes

Cluster negative search BIS-1 (chapter log): a jq pass over all 154 in-window Federal Register records whose agency is the Industry and Security Bureau — every Entity List, Unverified List, Denied Persons, Section 232 and licensing document of the window — plus quoted-phrase Federal Register full-text searches since 2025-01-20, plus the Bureau’s whole active Unified Agenda on reginfo.gov (agencyCd 0600, DOC/BIS: seventeen RINs, each opened and read). Specific queries: "Automated Export System" quarterly (1 hit, an unrelated EPA hydrofluorocarbon rule), and the AES information collections themselves, which are Census Bureau Foreign Trade Regulations clearances (FR 2025-17568, 2026-01432) and say nothing about congressional reporting. Also jq over bills.ndjson for Automated Export System (0) and a grep of the FY2026 NDAA (P.L. 119-60) enrolled text — the vehicle authorization requirements usually ride, per source-apis.md — for Automated Export System (0).

Reginfo agenda sweep, 2026-09-01 (§3b). RIN 0607-AA64 Foreign Trade Regulations (15 CFR 30): New Filing Requirement & Clarification to Current Requirements (DOC/CENSUS, Proposed Rule Stage, NPRM 07/2026) is the only entry in the whole 2026 Commerce agenda that names the Automated Export System: it would add a conditional country-of-origin data element to Electronic Export Information filed through AES, and says nothing about quarterly reporting to congressional committees. Nothing in the seventeen-RIN DOC/BIS slice names congressional reporting either. Subject area only — Status unchanged.
