U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 3911. Reports
(a) Annual reports
Not later than 1 year after April 25, 2003, and every 12 months
thereafter for such period as this chapter is in effect, the
President shall transmit to the Congress a report -
(1) describing actions taken by countries that have exported
rough diamonds to the United States during the preceding 12-month
period to control the exportation of the diamonds through the
Kimberley Process Certification Scheme;
(2) describing whether there is statistical information or
other evidence that would indicate efforts to circumvent the
Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, including cutting rough
diamonds for the purpose of circumventing the Kimberley Process
Certification Scheme;
(3) identifying each country that, during the preceding
12-month period, exported rough diamonds to the United States and
was exporting rough diamonds not controlled through the Kimberley
Process Certification Scheme, if the failure to do so has
significantly increased the likelihood that those diamonds not so
controlled are being imported into the United States; and
(4) identifying any problems or obstacles encountered in the
implementation of this chapter or the Kimberly (!1) Process
Certification Scheme.
(b) Semiannual reports
For each country identified in subsection (a)(3), the President,
during such period as this chapter is in effect, shall, every 6
months after the initial report in which the country was
identified, transmit to the Congress a report that explains what
actions have been taken by the United States or such country since
the previous report to ensure that diamonds the exportation of
which was not controlled through the Kimberley Process
Certification Scheme are not being imported from that country into
the United States. The requirement to issue a semiannual report
with respect to a country under this subsection shall remain in
effect until such time as the country is controlling the
importation and exportation of rough diamonds through the Kimberley
Process Certification Scheme.
