All registration fees collected by the State Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls are credited to a State Department account. The money may be used only for specified defense-trade licensing, automation, compliance, monitoring, and enforcement expenses.

For each fiscal year, all registration fees collected by the State Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls must be credited to a State Department account. The money remains available without a fiscal-year deadline. It may be used only to pay for: (1) contract personnel who help evaluate defense-trade-control license applications, shorten processing times, and improve monitoring of license compliance; (2) automating defense-trade-control work, including compliance and enforcement and processing license applications, including developing, buying, and using computers and related software; and (3) improving defense-trade export compliance and enforcement, including audits of United States and foreign parties, administrative proceedings, monitoring end uses in direct commercial arms sales or other transfers, and cooperation in enforcing criminal laws related to defense-trade export controls.
