What the document says

To amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 relating to licensing transparency, Sec. 2

Subparagraph (B) of paragraph (5). Both tests must be met: the entity is located in a country listed in Country Group D:5 under Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, and it appears on the list in Supplement No. 4 or the list in Supplement No. 7 to part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations. This Act does not say which countries or entities those lists carry, and the regulations are not indexed here.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
