I find that renewal of this order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the Regulations. I. Procedural History On April 7, 2022, I signed an order denying PJSC Aeroflot’s (‘‘Aeroflot’’) export privileges for a period of 180 days on the ground that issuance of the order was necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the Regulations. The order was issued ex parte pursuant to section 766.24(a) of the Regulations and was effective upon issuance.2 This temporary denial order was subsequently renewed in accordance with section 766.24(d) of the Regulations.3 The renewal order issued on October 3, 2022 and was effective upon issuance.4 On March 7, 2023, BIS, through OEE, submitted a written request for renewal of the TDO that issued on October 3, 1 On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S.

(‘‘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as of ECRA’s date of enactment (August 13, 2018), shall continue in effect according to their terms until modified, superseded, set aside, or revoked through action undertaken pursuant to the authority provided under ECRA. Moreover, section 1761(a)(5) of ECRA authorizes the issuance of temporary denial orders. 50 U.S.C. 4820(a)(5). 2 The TDO was published in the Federal Register on April 12, 2022 (87 FR 21611). 3 Section 766.24(d) provides that BIS may seek renewal of a temporary denial order for additional 180-day renewal periods, if it believes that renewal is necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation.
