SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This collection of information is
necessary under the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR). The
EAR states that the Form BIS–711, or a
statement on company letterhead, is
required for exports to certain countries.
These documents provide information
on the foreign importer receiving the
U.S. technology and how the technology
will be utilized. The BIS–711 or letter
provides assurances from the importer
that the technology will not be misused,
transferred or reexported in violation of
the EAR. A copy of the statement must
be submitted with the license
application if the country of ultimate
destination is listed in certain country
groups of Supplement No. 1 to part 740
of the EAR. The Form BIS–711 or letter
puts the importer on notice of the
special nature of the goods proposed for
export and conveys a commitment
against illegal disposition. In order to
effectively control commodities, BIS
must have sufficient information
regarding the end-use and end-user of
the U.S. origin commodities to be
exported. The information will assist
the licensing officer in making the

Nelson S. Galgoul
The Bureau of Industry and Security,
U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘BIS’’),
has notified Nelson S. Galgoul
(‘‘Galgoul’’) of its intention to initiate an
administrative proceeding against
Galgoul pursuant to Section 766.3 of the
Export Administration Regulations (the
‘‘Regulations’’),1 and Section 13(c) of
the Export Administration Act of 1979,
as amended (the ‘‘Act’’),2 through the
issuance of a Proposed Charging Letter
to Galgoul that alleged that he
committed one violation of the
Regulations. Specifically, the charge is:
Charge 1 15 CFR 764.2(d)—
Conspiracy
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
From on or about March 1, 1995, and
continuing through on or about
February 28, 2007, Galgoul conspired
and acted in concert with others, known
and unknown, to bring about an act that
constitutes a violation of the
Regulations by agreeing to export an
engineering software program from the
United States to Iran via Brazil, without
the required U.S. Government
authorization. Pursuant to Section 746.7
of the Regulations, authorization was
required from the Office of Foreign
1 The Regulations are currently codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730–
774 (2011). The charged violation occurred between
1995 and 2007. The Regulations governing the
violation at issue are found in the 1995–2007
versions of the Code of Federal Regulations (15 CFR
parts 730–774 (1995–2007)). The 2011 Regulations
set forth the procedures that apply to this matter.

17, 2001 (3 CFR part 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)),
which has been extended by successive Presidential

Assets Control, U.S. Department of the
Treasury (‘‘OFAC’’), before the

subject to the Regulations 3 and the
Iranian Transactions Regulations

United States to Iran. Pursuant to
Section 560.204 of the ITR, an export to
a third country intended for
transshipment to Iran is a transaction
subject to the ITR. In furtherance of the
conspiracy, Galgoul and his coconspirators devised and employed a
scheme under which they would
market, sell, and service the engineering
software program to Iranian clients
through Galgoul, who was located in
Brazil. In so doing, Galgoul committed
one violation of Section 764.2(d) of the
Regulations.
In so doing, Galgoul committed one
violation of Section 764.2(d) of the
Regulations.
Whereas, BIS and Galgoul have
entered into a Settlement Agreement
pursuant to Section 766.18(a) of the
Regulations, whereby they agreed to
settle this matter in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth therein;
and
Whereas, I have approved of the terms
of such Settlement Agreement; it is
therefore ordered:

years from the date of entry of the

behalf, his representatives, assigns,
agents, or employees (hereinafter
collectively referred to as ‘‘Denied

participate in any way in any
transaction involving any commodity,
software or technology (hereinafter
collectively referred to as ‘‘item’’)
exported or to be exported from the
United States that is subject to the
Regulations, or in any other activity
subject to the Regulations, including,
but not limited to:
A. Applying for, obtaining, or using
any license, License Exception, or
export control document;
B. Carrying on negotiations
concerning, or ordering, buying,

or
C. Benefitting in any way from any

support activities related to a
transaction whereby the Denied Person
acquires or attempts to acquire such
ownership, possession or control;
C. Take any action to acquire from or
to facilitate the acquisition or attempted
acquisition from the Denied Person of
any item subject to the Regulations that
has been exported from the United
States;
D. Obtain from the Denied Person in
the United States any item subject to the
Regulations with knowledge or reason
to know that the item will be, or is
intended to be, exported from the
United States; or
E. Engage in any transaction to service
any item subject to the Regulations that
has been or will be exported from the
United States and which is owned,
possessed or controlled by the Denied
Person, or service any item, of whatever
origin, that is owned, possessed or
controlled by the Denied Person if such
service involves the use of any item
subject to the Regulations that has been
or will be exported from the United
States. For purposes of this paragraph,
servicing means installation,
maintenance, repair, modification or
testing.
Third, that, after notice and
opportunity for comment as provided in
Section 766.23 of the Regulations, any
person, firm, corporation, or business
organization related to the Denied
Person by affiliation, ownership,
control, or position of responsibility in
the conduct of trade or related services
may also be made subject to the
provisions of the Order.
Fourth, that the Proposed Charging
Letter, the Settlement Agreement, and
this Order shall be made available to the
public.
Fifth, that this Order shall be served
on Galgoul and on BIS, and shall be
published in the Federal Register.
