(b) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, REGULATIONS, INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS, AND NATIONAL SECURITY.— (1) IN GENERAL.—No license shall be granted by the Secretary unless the Secretary determines in writing that the applicant will comply with the requirements of this chapter, any regula- tions issued pursuant to this chapter, and any applicable inter- national obligations and national security concerns of the United States. (2) LIST OF REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETE APPLICATION.— The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register a complete and specific list of all information required to comprise a com- plete application for a license under this subchapter. An application shall be considered complete when the applicant has provided all information required by the list most recently published in the Federal Register before the date the applica- tion was first submitted. Unless the Secretary has, within 30 days after receipt of an application, notified the applicant of information necessary to complete an application, the Sec- retary may not deny the application on the basis of the absence of any such information.

If final action has not occurred within such time, the Secretary shall inform the applicant of any pending issues and of actions required to resolve them.

(e) REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE UNENHANCED DATA.— (1) DESIGNATION OF DATA.—The Secretary, in consultation with other appropriate United States Government agencies and pursuant to paragraph (2), shall designate in a license issued pursuant to this subchapter any unenhanced data required to be provided by the licensee under section 60122(b)(3) of this title. (2) PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION.—The Secretary shall make a designation under paragraph (1) after determining that— (A) such data are generated by a system for which all or a substantial part of the development, fabrication, launch, or operations costs have been or will be directly funded by the United States Government; or (B) it is in the interest of the United States to require such data to be provided by the licensee consistent with section 60122(b)(3) of this title, after considering the impact on the licensee and the importance of promoting widespread access to remote sensing data from United States and foreign systems. (3) CONSISTENCY WITH CONTRACT OR OTHER ARRANGEMENT.— A designation made by the Secretary under paragraph (1) shall not be inconsistent with any contract or other arrangement
