SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Annual Retail Trade Survey
(ARTS) covers employer firms with
establishments located in the United
States and classified in the Retail Trade
and/or Accommodation and Food
Services sectors as defined by the North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS).
Firms are selected for this survey
using a stratified random sample where
strata are defined by industry and
annual sales size. The sample consisting
of businesses classified in the Retail
Trade and/or Accommodation and Food
Services sector as defined by the 2007
NAICS, is drawn from the Business
Register (BR). The BR is the Census
Bureau’s master business list and
contains basic economic information for
approximately 7.4 million employer
businesses and 22.5 million
nonemployer businesses. The BR
obtains information through direct data
collections and administrative record
information from other federal agencies.
The sample is updated quarterly to
reflect employer business ‘‘births’’ and
‘‘deaths’’; adding new employer
businesses identified in the Business
and Professional Classification Survey
and deleting firms and Employer
Identification Numbers (EINs) when it is
determined they are no longer active.
The survey requests firms to provide
annual sales, annual e-commerce sales,
year-end inventories held inside and
outside the United States, total
operating expenses, purchases, accounts

Frm 00004

receivables, and, for selected industries,
sales by merchandise line. These data
are used to satisfy a variety of public
and business needs such as economic
market analysis, company performance,
and forecasting future demands. Results
will be available, at the United States
summary level, for selected retail trade,
and accommodation and food services,
industries approximately fifteen months
after the end of the reference year.
Every five years, ARTS requests data
on detailed operating expenses. During
the next three years, detailed operating
expenses will not be collected. The last
time ARTS collected detailed operating
expenses was in 2013 for the 2012
survey year. The plan is to reinstate
these questions in 2018 as part of the
2017 ARTS data collection.

(‘‘Garces’’), was convicted of violating
Section 38 of the Arms Export Control
Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 (2006 & Supp. IV
2010)) (‘‘AECA’’). Specifically, Garces
knowingly and willfully exported and
caused to be exported and attempted to

from the United States of America a
defense article, that is, to wit: one
Serbian AK–47, Model PAP M70,
7.62mm rifle, serial number
ZAPAP003196, which were 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. Garces
was sentenced to 46 months of
imprisonment and two years of
supervised release, and penalized $100
as an assessment. Garces 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

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. §§ 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)).

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.

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