guard and gad tube, rear sight block,
recoil spring rear guide, dust cover,
trigger for semi-automatic rifle, bolt
carrier assembly and bolt catch, without
a license or written approval from the
US Department of Commerce. As a
result of his conviction, the Court
sentenced Espinoza to 63 months of
confinement, three years of supervised
release, and a $100 assessment.
Pursuant to section 1760(e) of the
Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1
the export privileges of any person who

Id.

(‘‘EAR’’ or the ‘‘Regulations’’), BIS
provided notice and opportunity for
Espinoza to make a written submission

received a written submission from
Espinoza.
Based upon my review of the record
