Order Denying Export Privileges
A. Denial of Export Privileges of Juan
Sevilla
On December 5, 2006, in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois, Juan Sevilla (‘‘Sevilla’’) was
found guilty on one count of violating
the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706
(2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’). Specifically, the
Court found that Sevilla knowingly and
willfully attempted to engage in the
unauthorized sale and export to Iran of
a United Computer Inclusive Hydraulic
Floor Model Testing Machine. The
testing machine is classified as EAR99.
These systems test metals or plastic
materials for tensile strength and the
export of these systems to Iran requires
an individual validated license from the
Department of the Treasury, Office of
Foreign Assets Control (‘‘OFAC’’).
Failing to obtain the proper OFAC
license for this item is also a violation
of the Export Administration
Regulations (‘‘Regulations’’).1 Sevilla
was sentenced to probation for five
years with a period of home
1 The Regulations are currently codified at 15 CFR
Parts 730–774 (2007).

confinement of six months. The judge
also ordered 100 hours of community
service, a $100.00 special assessment
and a $10,000.00 fine.
Section 11(h) of the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended
(currently codified at 50 U.S.C. Section
2401–2420 (2000)) (the ‘‘Act’’) 2 and
Section 766.25 of the Regulations
provide, in pertinent part, that ‘‘[t]he
Director of Exporter Services, in
consultation with the Director of the
Office of Export Enforcement, may deny
export privileges of any person who has
been convicted of a violation of * * *
IEEPA’’ for a period not to exceed 10
years from the date of conviction. 15
CFR 766.25(a) and (d). In addition,
Section 750.8 of the Regulations states
that BIS’s Office of Exporter Services
may revoke any BIS licenses previously
issued in which the person had an
interest at the time of his conviction.
I have received notice of Sevilla’s
conviction for violating the IEEPA, and
have provided notice and an
opportunity for Sevilla to make a
written submission to the Bureau of
Industry and Security as provided in
Section 766.25 of the Regulations. I have
received a written submission from
Sevilla and, following consultations
with the Office of Export Enforcement,
including its Director, have decided to
deny Sevilla’s export privileges under
the Regulations for a period of five years
from the date of Sevilla’s conviction. I
have also decided to revoke all licenses
issued pursuant to the Act or
Regulations in which Sevilla had an
interest at the time of his conviction.
B. Denial of Export Privileges of Related
Persons
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Pursuant to Sections 766.25(h) and
766.23 of the Regulations, the Director
of BIS’s Office of Exporter Services, in
consultation with the Director of BIS’s
Office of Export Enforcement, may take
action to name persons related to a
Respondent by ownership, control,
position of responsibility, affiliation, or
other connection in the conduct of trade
or business in order to prevent evasion
of a denial order. I gave notice to
Cientec, S.A. de C.V. (‘‘Cientec’’) and JS
Engineering that their export privileges
under the Regulations could be denied
for up to 10 years due to their
relationship with Sevilla and because
2 50 U.S.C. app. Section 2401–2420. Since August
21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse and the
President, through Executive Order 13222 of August
17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), as
extended by the Notice of August 15, 2007 (72 FR
46137, Aug. 16, 2007), has continued the
Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–
1706 (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’).

BIS believes that naming them as
persons related to Sevilla would be
necessary to prevent evasion of a denial
order imposed against Sevilla. Sevilla is
the founder, owner and president of
Cientec, S.A. Sevilla is also the owner
of JS Engineering, an affiliate of Cientec
based out of Sevilla’s home in Gardenia,
CA. JS Engineering and Cientec are
related to Sevilla by ownership, control,
position of responsibility, affiliation, or
other connection in the conduct of trade
or business. BIS believes that naming
Cientec and JS Engineering as persons
related to Sevilla is necessary to avoid
evasion of the denial order against
Sevilla because of the likelihood that
Sevilla would continue to engage in
trade through these companies.
After receiving and considering
submissions from JS Engineering and
Cientec, I have decided, following
consultations with the Office of Export
Enforcement, including its Director, to
name JS Engineering and Cientec as
Related Persons to the Sevilla Denial
Order, thereby denying their export
privileges for five years from the date of
Sevilla’s conviction.
I have also decided to revoke all
licenses issued pursuant to the Act or
Regulations in which the Related
Persons had an interest at the time of
Sevilla’s conviction. The five-year
denial period will end on December 5,
2011.
Accordingly, it is hereby
Ordered

Order Denying Export Privileges
A. Denial of Export Privileges of Juan Sevilla
On December 5, 2006, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois, Juan Sevilla (``Sevilla'') was found guilty on
one count of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act
(50 U.S.C. 1701-1706 (2000)) (``IEEPA''). Specifically, the Court found
that Sevilla knowingly and willfully attempted to engage in the
unauthorized sale and export to Iran of a United Computer Inclusive
Hydraulic Floor Model Testing Machine. The testing machine is
classified as EAR99. These systems test metals or plastic materials for
tensile strength and the export of these systems to Iran requires an
individual validated license from the Department of the Treasury,
Office of Foreign Assets Control (``OFAC''). Failing to obtain the
proper OFAC license for this item is also a violation of the Export
Administration Regulations (``Regulations'').\1\ Sevilla was sentenced
to probation for five years with a period of home
[[Page 4520]]
confinement of six months. The judge also ordered 100 hours of
community service, a $100.00 special assessment and a $10,000.00 fine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Regulations are currently codified at 15 CFR Parts 730-
774 (2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 11(h) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended
(currently codified at 50 U.S.C. Section 2401-2420 (2000)) (the
``Act'') \2\ and Section 766.25 of the Regulations provide, in
pertinent part, that ``[t]he Director of Exporter Services, in
consultation with the Director of the Office of Export Enforcement, may
deny export privileges of any person who has been convicted of a
violation of * * * IEEPA'' for a period not to exceed 10 years from the
date of conviction. 15 CFR 766.25(a) and (d). In addition, Section
750.8 of the Regulations states that BIS's Office of Exporter Services
may revoke any BIS licenses previously issued in which the person had
an interest at the time of his conviction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 50 U.S.C. app. Section 2401-2420. Since August 21, 2001, the
Act has been in lapse and the President, through Executive Order
13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), as extended
by the Notice of August 15, 2007 (72 FR 46137, Aug. 16, 2007), has
continued the Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706 (2000))
(``IEEPA'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have received notice of Sevilla's conviction for violating the
IEEPA, and have provided notice and an opportunity for Sevilla to make
a written submission to the Bureau of Industry and Security as provided
in Section 766.25 of the Regulations. I have received a written
submission from Sevilla and, following consultations with the Office of
Export Enforcement, including its Director, have decided to deny
Sevilla's export privileges under the Regulations for a period of five
years from the date of Sevilla's conviction. I have also decided to
revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the Act or Regulations in which
Sevilla had an interest at the time of his conviction.
B. Denial of Export Privileges of Related Persons
Pursuant to Sections 766.25(h) and 766.23 of the Regulations, the
Director of BIS's Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the
Director of BIS's Office of Export Enforcement, may take action to name
persons related to a Respondent by ownership, control, position of
responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of
trade or business in order to prevent evasion of a denial order. I gave
notice to Cientec, S.A. de C.V. (``Cientec'') and JS Engineering that
their export privileges under the Regulations could be denied for up to
10 years due to their relationship with Sevilla and because BIS
believes that naming them as persons related to Sevilla would be
necessary to prevent evasion of a denial order imposed against Sevilla.
Sevilla is the founder, owner and president of Cientec, S.A. Sevilla is
also the owner of JS Engineering, an affiliate of Cientec based out of
Sevilla's home in Gardenia, CA. JS Engineering and Cientec are related
to Sevilla by ownership, control, position of responsibility,
affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of trade or business.
BIS believes that naming Cientec and JS Engineering as persons related
to Sevilla is necessary to avoid evasion of the denial order against
Sevilla because of the likelihood that Sevilla would continue to engage
in trade through these companies.
After receiving and considering submissions from JS Engineering and
Cientec, I have decided, following consultations with the Office of
Export Enforcement, including its Director, to name JS Engineering and
Cientec as Related Persons to the Sevilla Denial Order, thereby denying
their export privileges for five years from the date of Sevilla's
conviction.
I have also decided to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the
Act or Regulations in which the Related Persons had an interest at the
time of Sevilla's conviction. The five-year denial period will end on
December 5, 2011.
Accordingly, it is hereby
Ordered
