OMB Control Number: 0518–0027.
Summary of Collection: The National
Agricultural Library (NAL) accepts
requests from libraries and other
organizations in accordance with the
national and international interlibrary
loan code and guidelines. In its national
role, NAL collects and supplies copies
or loans of agricultural materials not
found elsewhere. 7 U.S.C. 3125a and 7
CFR part 505 gives NAL the authority to
collect this information. NAL provides
photocopies and loans of materials
directly to USDA staff, other Federal
agencies, libraries and other
institutions, and indirectly to the public
through their libraries. The Library
charges for some of these activities
through a fee schedule. In order to fill
a request for reproduction or loan of
items the library must have the name,
mailing address, phone number of the
respondent initiating the request, and
may require either a fax number, email
address, or Ariel IP address. The
collected information is used to deliver
the material to the respondent, bill for
and track payment of applicable fees,
monitor the return to NAL of loaned
material, identify and locate the
requested material in NAL collections,
and determine whether the respondent
consents to the fees charged by NAL.
Need and Use of the Information: The
NAL document delivery staff uses the
information collected to identify the
protocol for processing the request. The
information collected determines
whether the respondent is charged or
exempt from any charges and what
process the recipient uses to make
payment if the request is chargeable.
The staff also uses the information
provided to process/package the
reproduction or loan for delivery.
Without the requested information NAL
has no way to locate and deliver the
loan or reproduction to the respondent,
and thus cannot meet its mandate to
supply agricultural material.
Description of Respondents: Federal
Government; Not-for-profit institutions;
State, Local or Tribal Government;
Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 1,350.

Order Denying Export Privileges
erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
A. Denial of Export Privileges of
Mohammad Reza Vaghari
On June 3, 2011, in the U.S. District
Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania,
Mohammad Reza Vaghari, a/k/a Mitch
Vaghari (‘‘Vaghari’’) was convicted of
crimes relating to his participation in
illegal business transactions with Iran
between 2005 and 2008. Specifically,
Vaghari was convicted of two counts of
violating the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et
seq. (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’) by willfully and
knowingly aiding and abetting in the
illegal export of ultrasonic liquid
processors, stimulus isolators and
laboratory equipment to Iran via the
United Arab Emirates without obtaining
the required Office of Foreign Assets
Control approval.
Vaghari was also convicted of one
count of conspiracy to violate IEEPA (18
U.S.C. 371) and one count of
naturalization fraud stemming from his
attempt to procure U.S. citizenship (18
U.S.C. 1425). Vaghari was sentenced to
33 months in prison followed by three
years supervised release and a special
assessment of $400.
Section 766.25 of the Export
Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or
‘‘Regulations’’) 1 provides, in pertinent
part, that ‘‘[t]he Director of the Office of
Exporter Services, in consultation with
the Director of the Office of Export
Enforcement, may deny the export
privileges of any person who has been
convicted of a violation of the EAA, the
EAR, of any order, license or
authorization issued thereunder; any
regulation, license, or order issued
under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–
1706); 18 U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section
4(b) of the Internal Security Act of 1950
(50 U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the
Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C.
2778).’’ 15 CFR 766.25(a); see also
Section 11(h) of the EAA, 50 U.S.C. app.
1 The Regulations are currently codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730–
774 (2012). The Regulations issued pursuant to the
EAA (50 U.S.C. app. §§ 2401–2420 (2000)). Since
August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act
(‘‘EAA’’) 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, 2011 (765 FR
50661, August 16, 2011), has continued the
Regulations in effect under IEEPA.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
§ 2410(h). The denial of export
privileges under this provision may be
for a period of up to 10 years from the
date of the conviction. 15 CFR
766.25(d); see also 50 U.S.C. app.
§ 2410(h). In addition, Section 750.8 of
the Regulations states that the Bureau of
Industry and Security’s Office of
Exporter Services may revoke any
Bureau of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’)
licenses previously issued in which the
person had an interest in at the time of
his conviction.
I have received notice of Vaghari’s
conviction for violating the IEEPA, and
have provided notice and an
opportunity for Vaghari to make a
written submission to BIS, as provided
in Section 766.25 of the Regulations. I
have not received a submission from
Vaghari. Based upon my review and
consultations with BIS’s Office of
Export Enforcement, including its
Director, and the facts available to BIS,
I have decided to deny Vaghari’s export
privileges under the Regulations for a
period of 10 years from the date of
Vaghari’s conviction. I have also
decided to revoke all licenses issued
pursuant to the Act or Regulations in
which Vaghari had an interest at the
time of his conviction.
B. Denial of Export Privileges of Related
Person
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. Because Vaghari is the
president of Saamen Company LLC
(‘‘Saamen’’), Saamen is related to
Vaghari by ownership, control, position
of responsibility, affiliation, or other
connection in the conduct of trade or
business. BIS believes that naming
Saamen as a related person to Vaghari
is necessary to avoid evasion of the
denial order against Vaghari.
As provided in Section 766.23 of the
Regulations, I gave notice to Saamen
that its export privileges under the
Regulations could be denied for up to 10
years due to its relationship with
Vaghari and that BIS believes naming it
as a person related to Vaghari would be
necessary to prevent evasion of a denial
order imposed against Vaghari. In
providing such notice, I gave Saamen an
opportunity to oppose its addition to the
Vaghari Denial Order as a related party.
Having received no submission, I have
decided, following consultations with
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
BIS’s Office of Export Enforcement,
including its Director, to name Saamen
as a Related Person to the Vaghari
Denial Order, thereby denying its export
privileges for 10 years from the date of
Vaghari’s conviction.
I have also decided to revoke all
licenses issued pursuant to the Act or
Regulations in which the Related Person
had an interest at the time of Vaghari’s
conviction. The 10-year denial period
will end on June 3, 2021.
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered

AGENCY:
Mission Description
The United States Department of
Commerce, International Trade
Administration, U.S. and Foreign
Commercial Service (CS) is organizing a
Biotech Life Sciences trade mission to
Australia, October 29–November 2,
2012. The mission to Australia is
intended to include representatives
from a variety of U.S. biotechnology and
life science firms. The goals of the trade
mission to Australia are to (1) increase
U.S. exports to Australia, (2) introduce
U.S. participants to potential strategic
partners, (3) introduce U.S. participants
to industry and government officials in
Australia to learn about various
opportunities, and (4) to educate the
participants about trade policy and
regulatory matters involved in doing
business in Australia. Participating in
an official U.S. industry delegation,
rather than traveling to Australia
independently, will increase the
participants’ profile and enhance the
ability to secure meetings in Australia.
The mission will include site visit(s) to
prominent biotech organizations,
government meetings, and briefings and
receptions during the AusBiotech
National Conference in Melbourne,
Australia. Trade mission participants
will have the opportunity to interact

with CS staff to discuss industry
developments, opportunities, and sales
strategies.
Commercial Setting
U.S. biotech and life science firms
consider Australia a harbor, with strong
intellectual property rights protection
and enforcement, and a transitional
market that is strategically positioned to
serve as a gateway to Asian markets.
Australia is the leading biotechnology
hub of the Asia-Pacific, with over 1,000
biotechnology companies, and clinical
trials that meet the requirements under
EU and FDA regulations. The Australian
biotechnology sector covers human
therapeutics, industrial applications, the
agriculture sector, food technology,
medical devices and diagnostics, and
clean tech. Australia’s consumer base
and impressive economic strength
further reinforce the importance of the
market for U.S. firms.
Australia’s US$11.39 billion
pharmaceutical market is among the five
largest in the Asia-Pacific region.
Australia also has the region’s second
highest annual spending on medicine,
after Japan. Much of this spending is on
patented drugs, which account for 67%
of the total pharmaceutical expenditure.
Australia remains attractive to
pharmaceutical firms—per-capita
healthcare spending is high (US$5,077)
and the regulatory regime is comparable
to those in other developed countries.
According to UN Comtrade, Australia
imported finished medicine worth
US$7.1 billion in 2010. Additionally,
the current U.S. dollar-Australian dollar
exchange rate is advantageous for U.S.
product and services exports to
Australia.
The AusBiotech National Conference
is a venue that attracts not only biotech
companies in the medical sector, but
also in the diagnostics, agriculture,
industrial and environmental biotech
segments. The annual event has earned
a reputation as the industry’s premier
biotechnology conference for the Asia
Pacific region and has proved its
relevance to the Australian and
international biotechnology industries,
attracting more than 1,100 participants
including 233 international participants
from 20 countries. This program
presents an opportunity for the entire
gamut of U.S. biotech companies
looking to sell into Australia and spring
board into Asia.
A U.S. Department of Commerce-led
´
trade mission offers an attractive entree
for U.S. firms in the Australian market.
Mission Goals
The goals of the trade mission to
Australia are to (1) increase U.S. exports

Order Denying Export Privileges
A. Denial of Export Privileges of Mohammad Reza Vaghari
On June 3, 2011, in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of
Pennsylvania, Mohammad Reza Vaghari, a/k/a Mitch Vaghari (``Vaghari'')
was convicted of crimes relating to his participation in illegal
business transactions with Iran between 2005 and 2008. Specifically,
Vaghari was convicted of two counts of violating the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (2000))
(``IEEPA'') by willfully and knowingly aiding and abetting in the
illegal export of ultrasonic liquid processors, stimulus isolators and
laboratory equipment to Iran via the United Arab Emirates without
obtaining the required Office of Foreign Assets Control approval.
Vaghari was also convicted of one count of conspiracy to violate
IEEPA (18 U.S.C. 371) and one count of naturalization fraud stemming
from his attempt to procure U.S. citizenship (18 U.S.C. 1425). Vaghari
was sentenced to 33 months in prison followed by three years supervised
release and a special assessment of $400.
Section 766.25 of the Export Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or
``Regulations'') \1\ provides, in pertinent part, that ``[t]he Director
of the Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the Director
of the Office of Export Enforcement, may deny the export privileges of
any person who has been convicted of a violation of the EAA, the EAR,
of any order, license or authorization issued thereunder; any
regulation, license, or order issued under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706); 18 U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798;
section 4(b) of the Internal Security Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 783(b)),
or section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).'' 15 CFR
766.25(a); see also Section 11(h) of the EAA, 50 U.S.C. app. Sec.
2410(h). The denial of export privileges under this provision may be
for a period of up to 10 years from the date of the conviction. 15 CFR
766.25(d); see also 50 U.S.C. app. Sec. 2410(h). In addition, Section
750.8 of the Regulations states that the Bureau of Industry and
Security's Office of Exporter Services may revoke any Bureau of
Industry and Security (``BIS'') licenses previously issued in which the
person had an interest in at the time of his conviction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of
Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730-774 (2012). The Regulations
issued pursuant to the EAA (50 U.S.C. app. Sec. Sec. 2401-2420
(2000)). Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act
(``EAA'') 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, 2011 (765 FR 50661, August 16,
2011), has continued the Regulations in effect under IEEPA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have received notice of Vaghari's conviction for violating the
IEEPA, and have provided notice and an opportunity for Vaghari to make
a written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the
Regulations. I have not received a submission from Vaghari. Based upon
my review and consultations with BIS's Office of Export Enforcement,
including its Director, and the facts available to BIS, I have decided
to deny Vaghari's export privileges under the Regulations for a period
of 10 years from the date of Vaghari's conviction. I have also decided
to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the Act or Regulations in
which Vaghari had an interest at the time of his conviction.
B. Denial of Export Privileges of Related Person
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.
Because Vaghari is the president of Saamen Company LLC (``Saamen''),
Saamen is related to Vaghari by ownership, control, position of
responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of
trade or business. BIS believes that naming Saamen as a related person
to Vaghari is necessary to avoid evasion of the denial order against
Vaghari.
As provided in Section 766.23 of the Regulations, I gave notice to
Saamen that its export privileges under the Regulations could be denied
for up to 10 years due to its relationship with Vaghari and that BIS
believes naming it as a person related to Vaghari would be necessary to
prevent evasion of a denial order imposed against Vaghari. In providing
such notice, I gave Saamen an opportunity to oppose its addition to the
Vaghari 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 Saamen as a Related Person
to the Vaghari Denial Order, thereby denying its export privileges for
10 years from the date of Vaghari's conviction.
I have also decided to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the
Act or Regulations in which the Related Person had an interest at the
time of Vaghari's conviction. The 10-year denial period will end on
June 3, 2021.
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered
