Move export controls to the Trade Representative
What the document says“Industry and Security (BIS) should be streamlined and moved to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR)”
The Bureau of Industry and Security administers export controls on sensitive technology. The chapter lists this among the structural changes the next President should consider, alongside consolidating other trade programs and considering whether many of them should exist federally at all.
What the document actually says“Industry and Security (BIS) should be streamlined and moved to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR)”
Slim down the export control bureau. Move it to the trade office.
One bureau decides what technology may be sold abroad. The book says it should move to the trade office.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. The nearest candidate adds a congressional reporting duty to the export control statute the Bureau of Industry and Security administers, and leaves the bureau where it is, inside the Commerce Department. Nothing indexed moves the bureau, or any part of it, to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. The candidate whose title mentions an office reorganization, rule-2026-02179, is the Surface Transportation Board renaming its own legal offices and has nothing to do with export controls. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
