Export Administration Amendments Act of 1981

Summary

Export Administration Amendments Act of 1981 - Amends the Export Administration Act of 1979 to authorize appropriations for fiscal years 1982 and 1983 to carry out such Act. Prohibits any department or agency from withholding confidential information necessary for enforcement of such Act from any enforcement department or agency. Exempts census information from such prohibition. Increases the maximum criminal fine: (1) for violations of such Act; and (2) for failure to report that goods exported under a validated license are being used by the importing country for military or intelligence gathering purposes contrary to the license conditions. Makes such fines less for individuals than in other cases. Limits the civil fine for violations of such Act to $10,000 for individuals and to $100,000 in all other cases. Requires all information regarding export controls to be made available upon request to the appropriate Congressional committee and to the General Accounting Office (GAO). Prohibits such committee and the GAO from publishing any such information submitted on a confidential basis except under specified circumstances.
