Charge 1 above, Data Physics sold and/or
forwarded a DP 550 Vibration Controller with
knowledge that a violation of the Regulations

all times relevant hereto, Data Physics knew
or should have known that an export license
was required to ship a DP 550 Vibration
Controller, an item subject to the Regulation,
from the United States to CALT, an entity on
BIS’s Entity List. Data Physics had reason to
know that a license was required for this
´
export since, inter alia Office of Export
Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’) special agents visited
Data Physics in May 1999 where they
informed Data Physics’ Chief Technology
Officer and the Director of Manufacturing
and Quality Systems, on the rules and
requirements regarding exports to
organizations on the BIS Entity list. The
Chief Technology Officer then sent an e-mail
to Sri Welaratna, company president,
explaining the rules and included a link to
BIS’s Entity List. In so doing, Data Physics
committed one violation of Section 764.2(e)
of the Regulations.
Charge 3 15 CFR 764.2(a)—Unlicensed
Export to Listed Entity in China
On or abut March 15, 2002, Data Physics
engaged in conduct prohibited by the
Regulations when it exported a Signalstar
Vector (DP 560) vibration controller, an item
subject to the Regulations, to the Beijing
Automation Equipment Institute (‘‘BACEI’’)
in China, an organization on BIS’s Entity
List,4 without the license required by the
Department of Commerce. A license was
required for this export under Section 744.1
and Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 of the

the Regulations would occur in connection
with the item. At all times relevant hereto,
Data Physics knew or should have known

Charge 5 CFR 764.2(g)—False Statement on
Shipper’s Export Declaration
On or about March 15, 2002, in connection
with the transaction described in Charges 3
and 4 above, Data Physics made a false
statement to the U.S. Government in
connection with the submission of an export
control document. Specifically, Data Physics
filed a Shipper’s Export Declaration (‘‘SED’’)
with the U.S. Government stating that the
items that were the subject of the SED
qualified for export as ‘‘NLR,’’ i.e., that no
license was required.This representation was
false, as a license was required for the
Signalstar Vector (DP 560) vibration
controller to be exported to the Beijing
Automation Control Equipment Institute. In
so doing, Data Physics committed one
violation of Section 764.2(g) of the
Regulations.
BIS and Data Physics having entered
into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to
Section 766.18(b) of the Regulations
whereby they agreed to settle this matter
in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth therein, and the
terms of the Settlement Agreement
having been approved by me;
It is Therefore Ordered:
First, that Data Physics shall pay a
civil penalty of $55,000 to the U.S.
Department of Commerce to be paid
within 30 days from the date of entry of
the Order. Payment shall be made in the
manner specified in the attached
instructions. Additionally:
A. Pursuant to the Debt Collection Act
of 1982, as amended 931 U.S.C. 3701–
3720E (1983 and Supp. 2000)), the civil
penalty owed under this Order accrues
interest as more fully described in the
attached Notice, and, if payment is not
made by the due date specified herein,
Data Physics will be assessed, in
addition to the full amount of the civil
penalty and interest, a penalty charge
and an administrative charge, as more
fully described in the attached Notice.
B. The timely payment of the civil
penalty set forth above is hereby made
a condition to the granting, restoration,
or continuing validity of any export
license, license exception, permission,
or privilege granted, or to be granted, to
Data Physics. Accordingly, if Data
Physics should fail to pay the civil
penalty in a timely manner, the
undersigned may enter an Order
