SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA and section 
127.11 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) prohibit 
the issuance of export licenses or other approvals to a person if that 
person, or any party to the export, has been convicted of violating the 
AECA and certain other U.S. criminal statutes enumerated at section 
38(g)(1) of the AECA and section 120.27 of the ITAR. A person convicted 
of violating the AECA is also subject to statutory debarment under 
section 127.7 of the ITAR.
    In December 2004, Interaero, Inc. was convicted of violating the 
AECA (U.S. District Court, District of Columbia, 1:04-cr-00317-JGP-1). 
Based on this conviction, Interaero, Inc. was statutorily debarred

AECA. Therefore, in accordance with section 38(g)(4) of the AECA, the 
debarment of Interaero, Inc. is rescinded, effective November 19, 2008.
