[Cox Report Recommendations] 13. Provide longer review periods when deemed necessary by any reviewing Executive department or agency on national security grounds. (Recommendation 31)
Partially support. The country tiering system is intended to identify those cases that will require greater scrutiny up front, but the time constraints remain constant for all applications. A license reviewing official has the option of denying the application if the risk is considered excessive. Also, exceptions to the time constraint exist for a variety of reasons, including requests for more information and pre-license checks.
