Activity; BMW Manufacturing

BMW Manufacturing Company, LLC

Board for its facility in Spartanburg,
South Carolina. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on January 21,
2021.
BMW MC already has authority to
produce gasoline and diesel-powered

batteries within Subzone 38A. The
current request would add a foreignstatus component to the scope of

authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
component described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt BMW MC from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
component used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus component noted below, BMW
MC would be able to choose the duty
rate during customs entry procedures
that applies to passenger motor vehicles
(duty rate 2.5%). BMW MC would be
able to avoid duty on foreign-status
components which become scrap/waste.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.
The component sourced from abroad
is electronic toll collection systems
(duty-free). The request indicates that
electronic toll collection systems are
subject to Section 301 of the Trade Act
of 1974 (Section 301), depending on the
country of origin. The applicable
Section 301 decisions require subject
merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR

Adelanto, CA 92301; Order Denying
Export Privileges
On April 30, 2019, in the U.S. District
Court for the Western District of Texas,
Irma Lizette Trevizo (‘‘Trevizo’’), was
convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 371.
Specifically, Trevizo was convicted of
knowingly and willfully conspiring to
smuggle firearms and ammunition from
the United States to Mexico. Trevizo
was sentenced to 24 months in prison,
supervised release for two years and a
$100 special assessment.
Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the
Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1
the export privileges of any person who
has been convicted of certain offenses,
including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C.
371, may be denied for a period of up
to ten (10) years from the date of his/her
conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e) (Prior

interest at the time of the conviction,
may be revoked. Id.
BIS received notice of Trevizo’s
conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. 371,
and has provided notice and
opportunity for Trevizo to make a
written submission to BIS, as provided
in Section 766.25 of the Export
Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or
the ‘‘Regulations’’). 15 CFR 766.25.2 BIS
has not received a written submission
from Trevizo.
Based upon my review of the record
and consultations with BIS’s Office of
Exporter Services, including its
Director, and the facts available to BIS,
I have decided to deny Trevizo’s export
privileges under the Regulations for a
period of 10 years from the date of
Trevizo’s conviction. I have also
decided to revoke any BIS-issued
licenses in which Trevizo had an
interest at the time of her conviction.3
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:
First, from the date of this Order until
April 30, 2029, Irma Lizette Trevizo,

behalf, her successors, assigns,

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

2 The Regulations are currently codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR Parts 730–
774 (2020). The Regulations originally issued under
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended,
50 U.S.C. 4601–4623 (Supp. III 2015) (‘‘EAA’’),
which lapsed on August 21, 2001. The President,
through Executive Order 13,222 of August 17, 2001
(3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which was
extended by successive Presidential Notices,
continued the Regulations in full force and effect
under the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq. (2012)
(‘‘IEEPA’’). Section 1768 of ECRA, 50 U.S.C. 4826,
provides in pertinent part that all rules and
regulations that were made or issued under the
EAA, including as continued in effect pursuant to
IEEPA, and were in effect as of ECRA’s date of
enactment (August 13, 2018), shall continue in
effect according to their terms until modified,
superseded, set aside, or revoked through action
undertaken pursuant to the authority provided
under ECRA. See note 1 above.
3 The Director, Office of Export Enforcement, is
now the authorizing official for issuance of denial
orders, pursuant to recent amendments to the
Regulations (85 FR 73411, November 18, 2020).
