SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) Geospatial technologies and geospatial data can provide
all levels of government and the private sector with proven
capabilities to carry out detection, planning, preparedness,
mitigation, response, and recovery activities for homeland
security purposes that save lives and protect property.
(2) The completion and maintenance of the National Spatial
Data Infrastructure with integrated applications and systems
will provide the level of geospatial preparedness required to
protect critical infrastructure, strategic assets, the economic
base, and persons.
(3) Geospatial technology and information have proven to be
essential to enabling more informed decisionmaking, greater
efficiency, increased accountability, and better management in
all levels of government and the private sector.
(4) Building spatial data once and then sharing it many
times between all levels of government and the private sector
increases the ability of information technology applications
and systems to provide better services to the public in a cost-
effective manner.
(5) The use of international, national, and industry
consensus standards to develop and deploy interoperable
geospatial data and geospatial technologies assists the
commercial geospatial industry to provide products that make it
easier, faster, and less expensive for all levels of government
and the private sector to share, integrate, and use geospatial
data for decisionmaking.
(6) Establishing a new Federal Government program to
provide financial incentives to State, regional, local, and
tribal governments will greatly accelerate adoption of
international, national, and industry consensus standards.
(7) Geospatial technologies and geospatial data can be
essential tools for virtually all functions of government and
business.
(8) Geospatial preparedness in the United States is not
adequate due to a variety of factors including inadequate
geospatial data compatibility, insufficient geospatial data
sharing, technology interoperability barriers, institutional
and organizational resistance to new ways of doing business,
lack of financial incentives to improved use of geospatial
technologies, and inefficient geospatial data collection and
sharing.
(9) Interoperable geospatial technology and geospatial data
capabilities are emerging and incentives are needed for full
adoption and for collaborative use to meet community and
national needs.
(10) Geospatial technologies and geospatial data are
maintained by all levels of government and the private sector.
A comprehensive nationwide program is necessary to build and
maintain a standards-based geospatial spatial data
infrastructure and geographic information systems required to
respond to increasing demands.
(11) State, regional, local, and tribal governments, the
private sector, and other non-government organizations are
investing in geospatial technologies and geospatial data.
Incentives are necessary to leverage these investments for more
effective use to meet community and national needs.
(12) Establishing the Office of Geospatial Management,
administered by a Geospatial Information Officer, within the
Department of Homeland Security will ensure the most effective
and efficient management of programs and activities involving
geospatial technologies and geospatial data.

SEC. 5. IDENTIFICATION OF PROLIFERATION END-USERS.

Section 4 of the Export Administration Act of 1979 is amended by
adding at the end the following new subsection:
''(k) Identification of Proliferation End-users.--
''(1) Proliferation end-user defined.--For purposes of this
subsection, the term 'proliferation end-user' means any entity
that is engaged, directly or indirectly, in the design,
development, or production of nuclear, chemical, or biological
weapons or missiles and is located in a country that is not
party to a bilateral or multilateral agreement the purpose of
which is to limit the spread of such weapons and activities and
to which the United States is a party.
''(2) Publication of proliferation end-users.--The
Secretary shall, within 10 days after communicating to any
United States exporter (including by denying an export license
to such exporter) that any entity has been identified as a
proliferation end-user, publish in the Federal Register the
name and specific validated license requirements for exports to
such proliferation end-user. If such publication is not made,
such entity shall be deemed not to be a proliferation end-user
and exports or reexports to such entity shall not require an
individual validated license solely because of activities
described in paragraph (1).
''(3) Customer screening.--The Secretary shall not require,
as a condition of granting any general or validated license for
the export of goods or technology to any end-user in a country,
that information by the export license applicant be provided
regarding activities described in paragraph (1) by such end-
user, unless--
''(A) the Secretary has identified such country as
engaged in the design, development, or production of
nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missiles;
or
''(B) the Secretary has determined that there is a
specific risk that the exports will be diverted to a
country for use in activities described in subparagraph
(A).''.
Output: Computer Equipment and Technology Export Control Reform Act - Amends the Export Administration Act of 1979 to direct the Secretary of Commerce to: (1) conduct annual reviews of export controls on computer equipment and technology; (2) increase certain export control thresholds if warranted by the review; and (3) report review findings to the Congress and the Computer Systems Technical Advisory Committee.
Exempts from license requirements for export or reexport to any controlled country digital computers valued at less than $5,000.
Directs the Secretary to: (1) identify specified items that will be installed for end-use outside the United States; and (2) publish in the Federal Register the name and specified license requirements for exports to a proliferation end-user (any entity engaged in the design, development, or production of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missiles which is located in a country that is not party to an agreement, to which the United States is a party, to limit the spread of such weapons and activities).
Prohibits the Secretary from requiring a license applicant to supply information about proliferation-related activities of an end-user, as a condition of granting a license for export of goods or technology to such end-user, unless the Secretary has: (1) identified the end-user's country as engaged in proliferation activities; or (2) determined there is a specific risk that the exports will be diverted to a country for use in such activities.
