requesting authority to reorganize the
zone to expand its service area under

adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec.
400.2(c)). The ASF is an option for
grantees for the establishment or
reorganization of zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the
designation of new subzones or ‘‘usagedriven’’ FTZ sites for operators/users
located within a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’
in the context of the FTZ Board’s
standard 2,000-acre activation limit for
a zone. The application was submitted
pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones
Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u),
and the regulations of the FTZ Board (15
CFR part 400). It was formally docketed
on April 5, 2017.
FTZ 74 was approved by the FTZ
Board on January 21, 1982 (Board Order
183, 47 FR 5737, February 8, 1982) and
reorganized under the ASF on May 24,
2012 (Board Order 1831, 77 FR 32930,
June 4, 2012). The zone currently has a
service area that includes the City of
Baltimore and the Counties of Anne
Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil and Harford.
The applicant is now requesting
authority to expand the service area of
the zone to include Howard and Queen
Anne Counties, as described in the
application. If approved, the grantee
would be able to serve sites throughout
the expanded service area based on
companies’ needs for FTZ designation.
The application indicates that the
proposed expanded service area is
adjacent to the Baltimore Customs and
Border Protection Port of Entry.
In accordance with the FTZ Board’s
regulations, Kathleen Boyce of the FTZ
Staff is designated examiner to evaluate
and analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
recommendations to the FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is June
9, 2017. Rebuttal comments in response
to material submitted during the

Maryland, Sam Rafic Ghanem
(‘‘Ghanem’’), was convicted of violating
section 38 of the Arms Export Control
Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 (2012)) (‘‘AECA’’).
Specifically, Ghanem willfully
attempted to export and cause the
exportation of firearms parts and
accessories designated as defense
articles under Category I of the United
States Munitions List from the United
States to Lebanon without having first
obtained the required license or
authorization from the U.S. Department
of State, Directorate of Defense Trade
Controls. Ghanem was sentenced 18
months in prison, three years of
supervised release, a criminal fine of
$70,734.24, and a $200 assessment.
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 Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 4601–4623
(Supp. III 2015) (available at https://uscode.

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 4, 2016 (81 FR 52,587 (Aug.

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. 4610(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.
BIS has received notice of Ghanem’s
conviction for violating the AECA, and
has provided notice and an opportunity
for Ghanem to make a written
submission to BIS, as provided in
section 766.25 of the Regulations.
Ghanem requested an extension of time
to make a written submission to BIS,
which was granted, but BIS did not
receive a submission from Ghanem.
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 Ghanem’s export
privileges under the Regulations for a
period of 10 years from the date of
Ghanem’s conviction. I have also
decided to revoke all licenses issued
pursuant to the Act or Regulations in
which Ghanem had an interest at the
time of his conviction.
