DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice 6737]
Bureau of Political-Military Affairs;
Statutory Debarment Under the Arms
Export Control Act and the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Department of State has imposed
statutory debarment pursuant to
§ 127.7(c) of the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (‘‘ITAR’’) (22 CFR
Parts 120 to 130) on persons convicted
of violating, attempting to violate or
conspiring to violate Section 38 of the
Arms Export Control Act, as amended,
(‘‘AECA’’) (22 U.S.C. 2778).
DATES: Effective Date: Date of conviction
as specified for each person.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Daniel Buzby, Acting Director, Office of
Defense Trade Controls Compliance,
Bureau of Political-Military Affairs,
Department of State (202) 663–2980.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
38(g)(4) of the AECA, 22 U.S.C.
2778(g)(4), prohibits the Department of
State from issuing licenses or other
approvals for the export of defense
articles or defense services where the
applicant, or any party to the export, has
been convicted of violating certain
statutes, including the AECA. In
implementing this provision, Section
127.7 of the ITAR provides for
‘‘statutory debarment’’ of any person
who has been convicted of violating or
conspiring to violate the AECA. Persons
subject to statutory debarment are
PO 00000
Frm 00108
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
42949
prohibited from participating directly or
indirectly in the export of defense
articles, including technical data, or in
the furnishing of defense services for
which a license or other approval is
required.
Statutory debarment is based solely
upon conviction in a criminal
proceeding, conducted by a United
States Court, and as such the
administrative debarment procedures
outlined in Part 128 of the ITAR are not
applicable.
The period for debarment will be
determined by the Assistant Secretary
for Political-Military Affairs based on
the underlying nature of the violations,
but will generally be for three years
from the date of conviction. At the end
of the debarment period, export
privileges may be reinstated only at the
request of the debarred person followed
by the necessary interagency
consultations, after a thorough review of
the circumstances surrounding the
conviction, and a finding that
appropriate steps have been taken to
mitigate any law enforcement concerns,
as required by Section 38(g)(4) of the
AECA. Unless export privileges are
reinstated, however, the person remains
debarred.
Department of State policy permits
debarred persons to apply to the
Director, Office of Defense Trade
Controls Compliance, for reinstatement
beginning one year after the date of the
debarment. Any decision to grant
reinstatement can be made only after the
statutory requirements under Section
38(g) (4) of the AECA have been
satisfied.
Exceptions, also known as transaction
exceptions, may be made to this
debarment determination on a case-bycase basis at the discretion of the
Assistant Secretary of State for PoliticalMilitary Affairs, after consulting with
the appropriate U.S. agencies. However,
such an exception would be granted
only after a full review of all
circumstances, paying particular
attention to the following factors:
whether an exception is warranted by
overriding U.S. foreign policy or
national security interests; whether an
exception would further law
enforcement concerns that are
consistent with the foreign policy or
national security interests of the United
States; or whether other compelling
circumstances exist that are consistent
with the foreign policy or national
security interests of the United States,
and that do not conflict with law
enforcement concerns. Even if
exceptions are granted, the debarment
continues until subsequent
reinstatement.
