SEC. 1067. MODIFICATION OF EXPEDITED REVIEW OF EXPORT
LICENSES FOR EXPORTS OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES
TO AUSTRALIA, THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND CANADA.

(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the President should work with the Governments of the United
Kingdom and Australia to formulate policy that would address
the application of restrictions under the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations to the sovereign territories of
Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States
that may present inefficiencies in defense repair,
maintenance, and sustainment among Australia, the United
Kingdom, and the United States for defense articles and
defense services not on the excluded technology list.
(b) Modification.--
(1) In general.--Section 1344 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (22 U.S.C. 10423) is
amended--
(A) in the section heading, by striking ``export licenses
for exports'' and inserting ``licenses for exports and
transfers'';
(B) in subsection (a), by inserting ``or transfer
(including to reexport, retransfer, temporarily import, or
broker)'' after ``to export'';
(C) in subsection (b), by striking ``an export'' and all
that follows and inserting ``an export or transfer (including
a reexport, retransfer, temporary import, or brokering
activity) of defense articles or defense services that will
take place wholly within or between the geographic territory
of Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United
States and with governments of such countries or corporate
entities from such countries that are authorized users of
defense articles exported pursuant to the exemption under
section 38(l) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2778(l)).''; and
(D) in subsection (c)--
(i) in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by striking
``and the process must satisfy'' and inserting ``apply to all
exports and transfers (including reexports, retransfers,
temporary imports, and brokering activities) wholly within or
between the geographic territory of Australia, Canada, the
United Kingdom, or the United States, and satisfy''; and
(ii) in paragraph (1), by striking ``to export defense
articles and services'' and inserting ``to export, transfer,
reexport, retransfer, temporarily import, or broker defense
articles or defense services wholly within or between the
geographic territory of Australia, Canada, the United
Kingdom, or the United States''.
(2) Clerical amendment.--The table of contents in section
2(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2024 (Public Law 118-31), and at the beginning of title
XIII of division A of such Act, are each amended by striking
the item relating to section 1344 and inserting the
following:

``Sec. 1344. Expedited review of licenses for exports and transfers of
advanced technologies to Australia, the United Kingdom,
and Canada.''.
(c) Report Required.--
(1) In general.--To the extent practicable given staff and
resources, not later than 180 days after the date of the
