It's not awarded by France, it's awarded by the International Cycling Union (UCI), who is a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code, as is USADA. A decision by one is binding on any other signatory. The catch here is that Armstrong bowed out before the process was completed, so USADA must submit "a reasoned decision explaining the action taken" before the UCI will be bound.
