On November 4, 2011, in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, Phillip Andro Jamison (‘‘Jamison’’) was convicted of violating Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 (2000)) (‘‘AECA’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Japanese Cabinet advisory panel recently recommended that Japan phase out nuclear power by the 2030s, increase its reliance on renewable energy, and take steps to improve energy efficiency. In 2011, approximately 10 percent of Japan’s electricity was derived from renewable energy. This percentage is expected to increase as various incentives, such as a new feed-in tariff system (for solar, wind, geothermal, small micro/small/ medium hydro, and biomass/biogas), are introduced to promote investor confidence in renewable energy projects. A long-term reform process in the electricity sector is also taking shape that may allow for more diversity in energy sources as well as hasten the deployment of smart grid technology. All of these factors point towards potential business opportunities for American companies.

    In the Matter of: Phillip Andro Jamison currently incarcerated 
at: Register Number 22433-298, USP LOMPOC, U.S. Penitentiary, 3901 
Klein Blvd., Lompoc, CA 81226; and with an address at: 9912 Mark 
Twain Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93312.

    On November 4, 2011, in the U.S. District Court, Southern District 
of California, Phillip Andro Jamison (``Jamison'') was convicted of 
violating Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 
(2000)) (``AECA''). Specifically, Jamison was convicted of knowingly 
and willfully exporting from the United States to England a defense 
article, that is, one L3 EOTech 553.A65 Holographic Weapon Sight, which 
is designated as a defense article on the United States Munitions List, 
without having first obtained from the Department of State a license 
for such export or written authorization for such export. Jamison was 
sentenced to 30 months in prison followed by three years of supervised 
release. Jamison was also ordered to pay $172,221 in restitution. 
Jamison is also listed on the U.S. Department of State Debarred List.
    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 [Export 
Administration Act (``EAA'')], the EAR, or 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. 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 Export Administration Act (50 U.S.C. app. 
2401-2420 (2000)) (``EAA''). Since August 21, 2001, the 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 15, 2012 (77 FR 49699 (Aug. 16, 2012)), has continued the 
Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq. (2000)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have received notice of Jamison's conviction for violating AECA, 
and have provided notice and an opportunity for Jamison to make a 
written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the 
Regulations. I have not received a submission from Jamison. 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 Jamison's export privileges under the Regulations for a period 
of 10 years from the date of Jamison's conviction. I have also decided 
to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the Act or Regulations in 
which Jamison had an interest at the time of his conviction.
