of Temporary Denial Order
Pursuant to Section 766.24 of the
Export Administration Regulations, 15
CFR parts 730–774 (2021) (‘‘EAR’’ or
‘‘the Regulations’’),1 I hereby grant the
request of the Office of Export
Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’) to modify the
order that I issued on June 15, 2023,
renewing the temporary denial order
(‘‘TDO’’) in this matter (‘‘June 15, 2023

that the following party be removed

I. Procedural History
On June 24, 2022, I signed an order
denying the export privileges of
Nordwind Airlines (‘‘Nordwind’’) for a
1 On August 13, 2018, the President signed into
law the John S. McCain National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which
includes the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, 50
U.S.C. 4801–4852 (‘‘ECRA’’). While section 1766 of
ECRA repeals the provisions of the Export
Administration Act, 50 U.S.C. app. 2401 et seq.
(‘‘EAA’’), (except for three sections which are
inapplicable here), section 1768 of ECRA provides,
in pertinent part, that all orders, rules, regulations,
and other forms of administrative action that were
made or issued under the EAA, including as
continued in effect pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701
et seq. (‘‘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superseded, set aside, or revoked through action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.

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.3 This
temporary denial order was
subsequently renewed in accordance
with section 766.24(d) of the
Regulations.4 The renewal order issued
on December 20, 2022, and was effective
upon issuance.5
On May 18, 2023, BIS, through OEE,
submitted a written request for renewal
of the Nordwind TDO that issued on
December 20, 2022. The written request
was made more than 20 days before the
TDO’s scheduled expiration. A copy of
the renewal request was sent to
Nordwind in accordance with sections
766.5 and 766.24(d) of the Regulations.
No opposition to the renewal of the
TDO was received. OEE submitted a
separate written request under the
Regulations that Pegas Touristik be
added to the TDO. On June 15, 2023, I
issued an order renewing the Nordwind
TDO based upon on-going violations of
the TDO and the Regulations including
the reexport of aircraft subject to the
EAR on flights into Russia from Bokhar,
Tajikistan, Tehran, Iran, and Osh,
Kyrgyzstan, respectively. The June 15
renewal order also added Pegas
Touristik as a related person. OEE has
since requested that Pegas Touristik be
removed from the TDO to allow the
opportunity for additional
administrative process under part 766 of
the Regulations.
Having considered OEE’s request, I
find that Pegas Touristik should be
removed from the TDO to allow the
opportunity for additional
administrative process under part 766 of
the Regulations. The TDO shall remain
in full force and effect as to Nordwind.

180-day renewal periods, if it believes that renewal
is necessary in the public interest to prevent an
imminent violation. Renewal requests are to be
made in writing no later than 20 days before the
scheduled expiration date of a temporary denial
order. Renewal requests may include discussion of
any additional or changed circumstances, and may
seek appropriate modifications to the order,

On May 18, 2023, BIS, through OEE, submitted a written request for
renewal of the Nordwind TDO that issued on December 20, 2022. The
written request was made more than 20 days before the TDO's scheduled
expiration. A copy of the renewal request was sent to Nordwind in
accordance with sections 766.5 and 766.24(d) of the Regulations. No
opposition to the renewal of the TDO was received. OEE submitted a
separate written request under the Regulations that Pegas Touristik be
added to the TDO. On June 15, 2023, I issued an order renewing the
Nordwind TDO based upon on-going violations of the TDO and the
Regulations including the reexport of aircraft subject to the EAR on
flights into Russia from Bokhar, Tajikistan, Tehran, Iran, and Osh,
Kyrgyzstan, respectively. The June 15 renewal order also added Pegas
Touristik as a related person. OEE has since requested that Pegas
Touristik be removed from the TDO to allow the opportunity for
additional administrative process under part 766 of the Regulations.
Having considered OEE's request, I find that Pegas Touristik should
be removed from the TDO to allow the opportunity for additional
administrative process under part 766 of the Regulations. The TDO shall
remain in full force and effect as to Nordwind.
