BIS - Percent of licenses requiring interagency referral referred within nine days

Generally, export license applications for dual-use items (products that may have both civilian and military applications) and munitions items transferred from the United States Munitions List (USML) to the new 600-Series Commerce Control List (CCL) fall into two categories: 1) referred licenses, including those licenses requiring a recommendation from another agency e.g., Departments of Defense, State, and Energy, and where appropriate other U.S. government departments or agencies) thus the name “referred licenses;” and 2) non-referred licenses, which are those license requests BIS may review or approve without being referred to any other federal agency.
