Information Systems Technical Advisory Committee; Notice of Partially Closed Meeting, 38850 [06-6100]

Download as PDF 38850 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 131 / Monday, July 10, 2006 / Notices exporting items in violation of an order prohibiting Respondent from exporting items subject to the Regulations. Respondent engaged in a conspiracy to export items to Syria without the required Department of Commerce authorization. The United States maintains controls over exports to Syria because Syria is a state sponsor of terrorism. In addition, Respondent has shown contempt for the administrative orders issued by BIS by exporting items in violation of an order denying his export privileges and by changing names on shipping documents to evade the order denying his export privileges. Such a penalty is consistent with penalties imposed in a recent case under the Regulations involving shipments to comprehensively sanctioned countries. See In the Matter of Petrom GmbH International Trade, 70 FR 32,743 (June 6, 2005) (affirming the recommendations of the Administrative Law Judge that a twenty year denial and $143,000 administrative penalty was appropriate where violations involved multiple shipments of EAR99 items to Iran as a part of a conspiracy to ship such items through Germany to Iran). The recommended penalties are also consistent with settlements reached in significant BIS cases under the Regulations concerning illegal exports of pipe coating materials to Libya. See In the Matter of Jerry Vernon Ford, 67 FR 7352 (February 19, 2002) (settlement agreement for a 25 year denial); In the Matter of Preston John Engebretson, 67 FR 7354 (February 19, 2002) (settlement agreement for a 25 year denial); and In the Matter of Thane-Coat, Inc., 67 FR 7351 (February 19, 2002) (settlement agreement for a civil penalty of $1,120,000 ($520,000 suspended for two years and a 25 year denial)). The nature and quantity of violations in this case warrant a more significant penalty. In particular, Respondent’s contempt for the temporary denial order by continuing to export after the order was imposed and constantly shifting both his name and Tetrabal’s name to evade the order warrants the extraordinary penalty proposed in order to prevent others from showing the same contempt for BIS’s administrative orders. In addition, there are no factors that have been put forth by Respondent that warrant any mitigation of the penalty. VIII. Recommended Order sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES [Redacted Section] Within 30 days after receipt of this Recommended Decision and Order, the Under Secretary shall issue a written order, affirming, modifying or vacating the recommended decision and order. See 15 CFR § 766.22(c). Done and dated June 5, 2006 at Norfolk, Virginia. Peter A. Fitzpatrick, Administrative Law Judge, U.S. Coast Guard, Norfolk, Virginia.
