Order Denying Export Privileges, 61953-61954 [2013-24399]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 8, 2013 / Notices wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES evasion. Tysonic is owned and operated by Loong. In addition, Tysonic was involved in two of the transactions and violations that led to the issuance of the Denial Order against Loong. As alleged in the violations set forth in Charges 1 and 2 of the Charging Letter, determined by the ALJ, and affirmed by the Under Secretary, Loong, in his capacity as owner and operator of Tysonic, ordered and/or bought GPS engines and peak power meter from the United States and had the items shipped to Tysonic in Singapore. Following the arrival of the items in Singapore, the items were then shipped on to Iran. As a result of these transactions, on April 12, 2006, BIS temporarily denied the export privileges of both Loong and Tysonic for a period of 180 days. In the matter of Tysonic Enterprises and Chan Heep Loong, 71 FR 20074 (April 19, 2006). Furthermore, while subject to this temporary denial order (‘‘TDO’’), Loong continued to procure items subject to the EAR from the United States, in clear violation of the terms of the TDO, and did so by evasively using another company, Rosen Enterprises, which he also owned and operated and which was co-located with Tysonic. See Charge 3. Thus, Loong has already demonstrated his willingness to use companies related to him to contravene and evade a denial order issued against him. Based on the foregoing and the record as a whole in this matter, I find that Tysonic is a person related to Loong by ‘‘ownership, control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of trade or business’’ pursuant to Section 766.23 of the Regulations, and that the Denial Order against Loong, which will remain in effect until December July 29, 2023, should be made applicable to Tysonic in order to prevent evasion of that order. III. Order It is therefore ordered: First, that from the date this Order is published in the Federal Register, until July 29, 2023, Tysonic Enterprises, located at 10 Anson Road, 15–14 International Plaza, Singapore, 079903 SG, and its successors and assigns, and when acting for or on its behalf, its directors, officers, employees, representatives, or agents (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Denied Person’’) may not participate, directly or indirectly, 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:09 Oct 07, 2013 Jkt 232001 subject to the Regulations, including, but not limited to: A.

    In the Matter of:

Timothy Gormley, Inmate Number--68687-066, USP Lewisburg, US 
Penitentiary, P.O. Box 1000, Lewisburg, PA 17837.

    On January 17, 2013, in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania, Timothy Gormley (``Gormley''), was convicted of 
violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
1701, et seq. (2006 & Supp. IV 2010)) (``IEEPA''). Specifically, 
Gormley was convicted on five counts of violating IEEPA by engaging in 
transactions relating to exporting amplifiers to China and India 
without obtaining the required licenses. Gormley was sentenced to 42 
months of imprisonment, five years of supervised release, a $500 
assessment and a $1,000 criminal fine.
    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

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

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 (2013). The Regulations 
issued pursuant to the Export Administration Act (50 U.S.C. app. 
Sec. Sec.  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 8, 2013 (78 FR 49107 (August 12, 2013)), has 
continued the Regulations in effect under the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq. (2006 & Supp. 
IV 2010)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have received notice of Gormley's conviction for violating the 
IEEPA, and have provided notice and an opportunity for Gormley to make 
a written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the 
Regulations. Through his defense counsel, Gormley has indicated that he 
does not intend to contest BIS's decision to deny his export privileges 
under the Regulations.
    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 Gormley's export privileges under the Regulations 
for a period of 10 years from the date of Gormley's conviction. I have 
also decided to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the Act or 
Regulations in which Gormley had an interest at the time of his 
conviction.
    Accordingly, it is hereby
