for the sampling frame includes: (1) 50
State agriculture department
representatives, (2) 50 State department
of education representatives, (3) 50 State
cooperative extension representatives,
(4) up to 50 State Farm to School
coordinators, and (5) up to 1,000 local
Farm to School coordinators. Ninety
percent of each group is expected to
respond. Estimates of the percentages of
respondents who will agree to complete
the interview are based on previous
experience with developing the
currently available database of farm to
school initiatives.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 20 for State-level
respondents, 10 for local-level
respondents. Estimated responses per
respondent are as follows: Up to 200
State officials will be asked to identify
local school districts which participate
in Farm to School activities and provide
contact information. An average of 20
school districts per respondent will be
identified. An estimated 1,000 school
districts will be contacted to obtain
information on 10 key characteristics.
(Note: identified school districts will
overlap, so that redundant phone
information serves as validation).
Estimated Total Responses: 14,000.
Estimated Time per Response: We
estimate the time per response as 0.05
hours (3 minutes) for State-level
respondents to provide contact
information for each school district
within the state, and 0.25 hours (15
minutes) per question for local-level
respondents to provide information on
each key characteristic, on average.
These estimates of respondent burden
are based on experience with previous
data collection efforts for Farm to
School initiatives.
Estimated Total Burden on
Respondents: 2,700 hours. See the table

burden for each instrument.

Joseph Piquet and Related Person

In the Matter of: Joseph Piquet, 76067–004,

Person.
Order Making Order Denying Export
Privileges of Joseph Piquet Applicable
to Related Person Alphatronx, Inc.
Pursuant to Sections 766.25(h) and
766.23 of the Export Administration
Regulations 1 (‘‘EAR’’), the Bureau of
Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’), U.S.
Department of Commerce, through its
Office of Export Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’),
has requested that I make the Denial
Order that was imposed against the
individual Joseph Piquet (‘‘Piquet’’) on
May 28, 2010 (75 FR 32742, June 9,
2010) applicable to Alphatronx, Inc.
(‘‘Alphatronx’’), 1258 SW. Maplewood
Dr., Port St. Lucie, FL, 34986,
(hereinafter, the ‘‘Related Person’’), as a
person related to Piquet.
Section 766.23 of the EAR provides
that ‘‘[i]n order to prevent evasion,
certain types of orders under this part
may be made applicable not only to the
respondent, but also to other persons
then or thereafter related to the
respondent by ownership, control,
position of responsibility, affiliation, or
other connection in the conduct of trade
or business. Orders that may be made
applicable to related persons include
those that deny or affect export
privileges * * *.’’ 15 CFR 766.23(a).
On May 28, 2010, I issued an Order
pursuant to Section 11(h) of the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended
(currently codified at 50 U.S.C. app.
sections 2401–2420 (2000)) (‘‘Act’’) 2 and
Section 766.25 of the EAR denying the
export privileges under the Regulations
of Piquet for 10 years. The Order was
based on Piquet’s conviction of violating
the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.
1 The EAR are currently codified at 15 CFR Parts
730–774 (2010).
2 50 U.S.C. app. sections 2401–2420 (2000). 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)), which has
been extended by successive Presidential Notices,
the most recent being that of August 12, 2010 (75
FR 50,681 (Aug. 16, 2010)), has continued the
Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701
et seq. (2000)).

(2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’) and Section 38 of the
Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2778 (2000)). Piquet was convicted
based on his role in a conspiracy to
purchase high-tech military and dualuse electronic components from a
domestic corporation and to then ship
the items from the United States to
Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of
China without first obtaining the
required export licenses. Among the
commodities involved in this
conspiracy were high power amplifiers
designed for use by the U.S. military in
early warning radar and missile target
acquisition systems, and low noise
amplifiers that have both commercial
and military use.
BIS has presented evidence that
indicates that Alphatronx is related to
Piquet by ownership, control, position
of responsibility, affiliation, or other
connection in the conduct of trade or
business, and that it is necessary to add
this entity to the Piquet Denial Order in
order to avoid evasion of that Order.
The basis for naming Alphatronx to the
Piquet Denial Order is that Piquet is the
owner and President of Alphatronx and
that Piquet made the decisions to utilize
his company Alphatronx to carry out
the conspiracy and subsequent
violations of the AECA and IEEPA.
As provided in Section 766.23 of the
EAR, I gave notice to Alphatronx that its
export privileges under the EAR could
be denied for up to 10 years due to its
relationship with Piquet and that BIS
believes naming Alphatronx as a related
party to Piquet would be necessary to
prevent evasion of a denial order
imposed against Piquet. In providing
such notice, I gave Alphatronx an
opportunity to oppose its addition to the
Piquet Denial Order as a related party.
Having received no submission, I have
decided, following consultations with
BIS’s Office of Export Enforcement,
including its Director, to name
Alphatronx as a Related Person to the
Piquet Denial Order, thereby denying
Alphatronx export privileges for 10
years from the date of Piquet’s
conviction.
I have also decided to revoke all
licenses issued pursuant to the Act or
EAR in which Alphatronx had an
interest at the time of Piquet’s
conviction. The 10-year denial period
will end on May 14, 2019.
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:
First, that having been provided
notice and opportunity for comment as
provided in Sections 766.25 and 766.23
of the Export Administration
Regulations (the ‘‘Regulations’’), the
following entity, Alphatronx, Inc., with
a last known address at 1258 SW.
