SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA, 22 U.S.C. 2778, prohibits licenses and other approvals for the export of defense articles or defense services to be issued to persons, or any party to the export, who have been convicted of violating certain statutes, including the AECA. In implementing this section of the AECA, the Assistant Secretary for Political-Military Affairs is authorized by § 127.7 of the ITAR to prohibit any person who has been convicted of violating or conspiring to violate the AECA from participating directly or indirectly in the export of defense articles, including technical data or in the furnishing of defense services for which a license or other approval is required. This prohibition is referred to as ‘‘statutory debarment.’’ Statutory debarment is based solely upon conviction in a criminal proceeding, conducted by a United States Court, and as such the administrative debarment proceedings outlined in part 128 of the ITAR are not applicable. The period for debarment will be determined by the Assistant Secretary for Political-Military Affairs based on the underlying nature of the violations, but will generally be for three years from the date of conviction. At the end of the debarment period, licensing privileges may be reinstated only at the request of the debarred person following the necessary interagency consultations, after a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the conviction, and a finding that appropriate steps have been taken to mitigate any law enforcement concerns, as required by Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA. Unless licensing privileges are reinstated, however, the person remains debarred. Department of State policy permits debarred persons to apply to the Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, for reinstatement beginning one year after the date of the debarment, in accordance with Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA and § 127.11(b) of the ITAR. Any decision to grant reinstatement can be made only after the statutory requirements under Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA have been satisfied. Exceptions, also known as transaction exceptions, may be made to this debarment determination on a case-bybase basis at the discretion of the Assistant Secretary of State for PoliticalMilitary Affairs. However, such an exception would be granted only after a VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:49 Jan 31, 2006 Jkt 208001 full review of all circumstances, paying particular attention to the following factors: whether an exception is warranted by overriding U.S. foreign policy or national security interests; Whether an exception would further law enforcement concerns that are consistent with the foreign policy or national security interests of the United States; or whether other compelling circumstances exist that are consistent with the foreign policy or national security interests of the United States, and that do not conflict with law enforcement concerns. Even if exceptions are granted, the debarment continues until subsequent reinstatement. Pursuant to Section 38 of the AECA and § 127.7 of the ITAR, the Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs has statutorily debarred the following persons for a period of three years following the date of their AECA conviction: (1) Bernardo Gonzalez-Martinez, October 24, 2003, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas (Brownsville), Case #: 1:03CR00455– 003. ˜ (2) Maria Silvia Elizalde de Nunez, October 10, 2003, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas (Brownsville), Case #: 1:03CR00455– 002.

Public comments were invited about such a prospective program; all of the comments raised objections, particularly concerns that the Department would use the authority to force carriers to participate involuntarily in the program. This Notice discusses the comments, advises of the establishment of the pilot program, solicits applications for participation in the program, and specifies issues that should be addressed in such applications.

E-mail: kevin.schlemmer@dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Essential Air Service program, established in 1978 by the Airline Deregulation Act, Public Law 95–504, enables small communities that were served by certificated air carriers before deregulation to maintain at least a PO 00000 Frm 00173 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 minimal level of scheduled air service. Under this program, the Department currently provides subsidies to air carriers so that approximately 150 rural communities, including 37 in Alaska, can receive such service. DOT’s program determines the minimum level of service at each community by specifying a hub through which the community is linked to the national transportation system, a minimum number of round trips and available seats that must be provided to that hub, certain characteristics of the aircraft to be used, and the maximum number of permissible intermediate stops to the hub. A code-sharing agreement is a marketing arrangement between two carriers that allows one to publish schedules and sell tickets on flights operated by another. Typically, codesharing allows carriers to broaden their network of destinations, to feed additional passengers to their hub airports, and to serve destinations that they could not otherwise serve on a profitable basis. Major airlines now commonly enter into voluntary codeshare contracts with others, including smaller, regional carriers. Most airports covered under the EAS program have service provided by a carrier that has at least one major airline’s code attached to its flights out of the airport. However, some carriers that provide subsidized service under the EAS program do not have any code-share arrangements in some of the markets that they serve. On December 12, 2003, President Bush signed the Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, Public Law 108–176. Title IV, subtitle A, section 406 of that statute required the Secretary of Transportation to establish a pilot program, under which the Secretary would have discretion to require air carriers receiving EAS subsidy and major carriers serving large hub airports to participate in codesharing arrangements for up to 10 EAS communities. Section 406 provides as follows: Code-Sharing Program (a) In General.—The Secretary of Transportation shall establish a pilot program under which the Secretary may require air carriers providing air service with compensation under subchapter II of chapter 417 of title 49, United States code, and major carriers (as defined in section 41716(a)(2) of such title) serving large hub airports (as defined in section 40102 of such title) to participate in multiple code-sharing arrangements consistent with normal industry practice whenever and wherever the Secretary determines that such multiple E:\FR\FM\01FEN1.SGM 01FEN1

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of State has 
imposed statutory debarment pursuant to Section 127.7(c) of the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (``ITAR'') (22 CFR parts 120 
to 130) on persons convicted of violating or conspiring to violate 
Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (``AECA'') (22 U.S.C. 2778).

EFFECTIVE DATE: Date of conviction as specified for each person.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Trimble, Director, Office of 
Defense Trade Controls Compliance,

[[Page 5403]]

Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Department of State (202) 663-
2700.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA, 22 U.S.C. 
2778, prohibits licenses and other approvals for the export of defense 
articles or defense services to be issued to persons, or any party to 
the export, who have been convicted of violating certain statutes, 
including the AECA.
    In implementing this section of the AECA, the Assistant Secretary 
for Political-Military Affairs is authorized by Sec.  127.7 of the ITAR 
to prohibit any person who has been convicted of violating or 
conspiring to violate the AECA from participating directly or 
indirectly in the export of defense articles, including technical data 
or in the furnishing of defense services for which a license or other 
approval is required. This prohibition is referred to as ``statutory 
debarment.''
    Statutory debarment is based solely upon conviction in a criminal 
proceeding, conducted by a United States Court, and as such the 
administrative debarment proceedings outlined in part 128 of the ITAR 
are not applicable.
    The period for debarment will be determined by the Assistant 
Secretary for Political-Military Affairs based on the underlying nature 
of the violations, but will generally be for three years from the date 
of conviction. At the end of the debarment period, licensing privileges 
may be reinstated only at the request of the debarred person following 
the necessary interagency consultations, after a thorough review of the 
circumstances surrounding the conviction, and a finding that 
appropriate steps have been taken to mitigate any law enforcement 
concerns, as required by Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA. Unless licensing 
privileges are reinstated, however, the person remains debarred.
    Department of State policy permits debarred persons to apply to the 
Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, for 
reinstatement beginning one year after the date of the debarment, in 
accordance with Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA and Sec.  127.11(b) of the 
ITAR. Any decision to grant reinstatement can be made only after the 
statutory requirements under Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA have been 
satisfied.
    Exceptions, also known as transaction exceptions, may be made to 
this debarment determination on a case-by-base basis at the discretion 
of the Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs. 
However, such an exception would be granted only after a full review of 
all circumstances, paying particular attention to the following 
factors: whether an exception is warranted by overriding U.S. foreign 
policy or national security interests; Whether an exception would 
further law enforcement concerns that are consistent with the foreign 
policy or national security interests of the United States; or whether 
other compelling circumstances exist that are consistent with the 
foreign policy or national security interests of the United States, and 
that do not conflict with law enforcement concerns. Even if exceptions 
are granted, the debarment continues until subsequent reinstatement.
    Pursuant to Section 38 of the AECA and Sec.  127.7 of the ITAR, the 
Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs has 
statutorily debarred the following persons for a period of three years

named persons/entities remain debarred unless licensing privileges are 
reinstated.
    Debarred persons are generally ineligible to participate in 
activity regulated under the ITAR (see e.g., Sec. Sec.  120.1(c) and 
(d), and 127.11(a)). The Department of State will not consider 
applications for licenses or requests for approvals that involve any 
person who has been convicted of violating or of conspiring to violate 
the AECA during the period of statutory debarment. Persons who have 
been statutorily debarred may appeal to the Under Secretary for Arms 
Control and

International Security for reconsideration of the ineligibility 
determination. A request for reconsideration must be submitted in 
writing within 30 days after a person has been informed of the adverse 
decision, in accordance with 22 CFR 127.7(d) and 128.13(a).
    This notice is provided for purposes of making the public aware 
that the persons listed above are prohibited from participating 
directly or indirectly in any brokering activities and in any export 
from or temporary import into the United States of defense articles, 
related technical data, or defense services in all situations covered 
by the ITAR. Specific case information may be obtained from the Office 
of the Clerk for the U.S. District Courts mentioned above and by citing 
the court case number where provided.
    This notice involves a foreign affairs function of the United 
States encompassed within the meaning of the military and foreign 
affairs exclusion of the Administrative Procedure Act. Because the 
exercise of this foreign affairs function is discretionary, it is 
excluded from review under the Administrative Procedure Act.

    Dated: January 24, 2006.
John Hillen,
Assistant Secretary for Political-Military Affairs, Department of 
State.
