The Bureau of Industry and Security needs access to the State Department’s internal screening list once export controls on many firearms, artillery and ammunition are transferred from State to BIS, the Government Accountability Office said in a March 1 report. State has compiled years of information on illegitimate and bad actors in its watch list, and BIS may “lack critical information needed to effectively screen license applicants for firearms and related exports” once the transfers are finalized if it can’t get access, the report said.

Search Primer
Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.
Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "foreign direct product rule").
Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead. (e.g., BIS).
Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., BIS +Huawei).
Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., China -tariff).
Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls" or "entity list" instead of "entity listing").
