I have no idea where in US code this is found. But it is part of ITAR regulations banning export of encryption software. Notice how many questions you have to go through to get PGP from MIT, it's official distribution site?

We are all well aware of the various loud, rude noises coming out of the government concerning Zimmerman and PGP. But that does not mean that Zimmerman did anything illegal, nor does it mean that anything he was alleged to have done (whether those allegations are true or not) was actually illegal, either. Remember, government regulations (and rules in general) tend to be written with a certain mind-set about who they are intended to regulate. They may also, quite obviously, be lacking in detail and specificity. In short, the people who wrote the regulations may have simply not anticipated a person (as opposed to a corporation) writing a general-purpose encryption program and GIVING IT AWAY, SOURCE CODE AND ALL. (as opposed to selling it in a more "standard" way.) Almost certainly, nothing Zimmerman did was illegal. Nevertheless, we all know that it doesn't take an illegal act to piss off the government, which means that their jihad against him "makes sense" in an odd sort of way. Not "sense" from the standpoint of the average citizen, computer user, or programmer, but "sense" from the standpoint of a regulator who just discovered that he forgot to write a critical regulation. ...
