Pursuant to section 766.24 of the Export Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’), the Bureau of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’), U.S. Department of Commerce, through its Office of Export Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’), has requested that I renew for 180 days an Order temporarily denying export privileges of Wen Enterprises (‘‘WE’’), 402 Wild Oak Drive, Manitowoc, WI 54220; Ning Wen (‘‘Wen’’), 402 Wild Oak Drive, WI 54220; and Hailin Lin (‘‘Lin’’), 402 Wild Oak Drive, Manitowoc, WI 54220 (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘Respondents’’). BIS has not sought a renewal of the Order against Beijing Rich Linscience Electronics Company or Ruo Ling Wang. On January 31, 2005, I found that evidence presented by BIS demonstrated that the Respondents conspired to do acts that violated the EAR and did in fact commit numerous violations of the EAR by participating in the unlicensed export of national security controlled items to the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). I further found that such violations had been significant, deliberate and covert, and were likely to occur again, especially given the nature of the structure and relationships of the Respondents. Effective July 31, 2005, I found that, based on the continued circumstances that led to the initial issuance of the Order Denying Export Privileges on January 31, 2005, and on the additional evidence supplied by OEE, that the renewal of the Order for a period of 180 days was necessary and in the public interest, to prevent an imminent violation of the EAR. OEE has presented additional evidence that, on September 20, 2005, a jury convicted Wen of nine counts related to his participation in a conspiracy to violate U.S. export control laws. On January 18, 2006, Wen was sentenced to 60 months in prison and a $50,000 fine. OEE also presented evidence that on December 21, 2005, E:\FR\FM\03FEN1.SGM 03FEN1
