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as of ECRA’s date of enactment (August 13, 2018), shall continue in effect according to their terms until modified, superseded, set aside, or revoked through action undertaken pursuant to the authority provided under ECRA.

I find that renewal of this order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the Regulations and that renewal for an extended period is appropriate because Nordwind Airlines (‘‘Nordwind’’) has engaged in a pattern of repeated, ongoing and/or continuous apparent violations of the EAR. I. Procedural History On June 24, 2022, I signed an order denying Nordwind 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 The temporary denial order was subsequently renewed on December 20, 2022,3 June 15, 2023 4 and December 11, 2023 5 in accordance with Section 766.24(d) of the Regulations.6 On November 14, 2024, BIS, through OEE, submitted a written request for a fourth renewal of the TDO. The written request was made more than 20 days before the TDO’s scheduled expiration and, given the temporary suspension of international mail service to Russia, OEE has attempted to deliver a copy of the renewal request to Nordwind by alternative means in accordance with authorizes the issuance of temporary denial orders. 50 U.S.C. 4820(a)(5). 2 The TDO was published in the Federal Register on June 29, 2022 (87 FR 38704). 3 The December 20, 2022 renewal order was published in the Federal Register on December 27, 2022 (87 FR 79725). 4 The June 15, 2023 renewal order was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2023 (88 FR 40202). The renewal order was subsequently modified on June 27, 2023 and published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2023 (88 FR 42290). The June 27, 2023 modification made no changes to the scope or length of prohibitions against Nordwind. 5 The December 11, 2023 renewal order was published in the Federal Register on December 14, 2023 (88 FR 86623). 6 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. In cases demonstrating a pattern of repeated, ongoing and/or continuous apparent violations, BIS may request the renewal of a temporary denial order for an additional period not exceeding one year.
