On December 14, 2017, in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District
of Texas, Ruben Arnoldo Madrid
(‘‘Madrid’’) was convicted of violating
Section 38 of the Arms Export Control
Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 (2012)) (‘‘AECA’’).
Specifically, Madrid was convicted of
knowingly exporting and attempting to
export from the United States to Mexico
firearms designated as defense articles
on the United States Munitions List,
without the required U.S. Department of
State licenses. Madrid was sentenced to
51 months in prison, three years of
supervised release, and an assessment of
$100.
Section 766.25 of the Export

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 . . . section
38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22
U.S.C. 2778).’’ 15 CFR 766.25(a). 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). 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 pursuant to
the Act or the Regulations in which the
person had an interest at the time of his/
her conviction.
BIS has received notice of Madrid’s
conviction for violating Section 38 of
the AECA, and has provided notice and
an opportunity for Madrid to make a
written submission to BIS, as provided
in Section 766.25 of the Regulations.
BIS has not received a submission from
Madrid.
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 Madrid’s export
privileges under the Regulations for a
period of 10 years from the date of
Madrid’s conviction. I have also decided
to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to
the Act or Regulations in which Madrid
had an interest at the time of his
