Revisions to the Unverified List--Guidance as to ``Red Flags'' 
Under Supplement No. 3 to 15 CFR Part 732

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 14, 2002, the Bureau of Industry and Security 
(``BIS'') published a notice in the Federal Register that set forth a 
list of persons in foreign countries who were parties to past export 
transactions where pre-license checks (``PLC'') or post-shipment 
verifications (``PSV'') could not be conducted for reasons outside the 
control of the U.S. Government (``Unverified List''). Additionally, on 
July 16, 2004, BIS published a notice in the Federal Register that 
advised exporters that the Unverified List would also include persons 
in foreign countries in transactions where BIS is not able to verify 
the existence or authenticity of the end-user, intermediate consignee, 
ultimate consignee, or other party to the transaction. These notices 
advised exporters that the involvement of a listed person as a party to 
a proposed transaction constitutes a ``red flag'' as described in the 
guidance set forth in Supplement No. 3 to 15 CFR Part 732, requiring 
heightened scrutiny by the exporter before proceeding with such a 
transaction. The notices also stated that, when warranted, BIS would 
remove persons from the Unverified List. This notice removes one entity 
from the Unverified List based upon recently conducted PSVs or 
scheduled PSVs. The entity is: Fuchs Oil Middle East Ltd., P.O. Box 
7955, Sharjah Airport Intl. Free Zone, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.

DATES: This notice is effective September 30, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Todd E. Willis, Assistant Director, 
Office of Enforcement Analysis, Bureau of Industry and Security, 
Telephone Number: (202) 482-4255.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In administering export controls under the 
Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR Parts 730 to 774) (``EAR''), 
BIS carries out a number of preventive enforcement activities with 
respect to individual export transactions. Such activities are intended 
to assess diversion risks, identify potential violations, verify end-
uses, and determine the suitability of end-users to receive U.S. 
commodities or technology. In carrying out these activities, BIS 
officials, or officials of other federal agencies acting on BIS's 
behalf, conduct PLCs in appropriate situations to verify the bona fides 
of the transaction and the suitability of the end-user or ultimate 
consignee. In addition, such officials sometimes carry out PSVs to 
ensure that U.S. exports have actually been delivered to the authorized 
end-user, are being used in a manner consistent with the terms of a 
license or license exception, and are otherwise consistent with the 
EAR.
    In a notice issued on June 14, 2002 (67 FR 40910), BIS set forth an 
Unverified List of certain foreign end-users and consignees involved in 
export transactions where BIS officials, or other

[[Page 56794]]

federal officials acting on BIS's behalf, were unable to perform a PLC 
or PSV with respect to certain export transactions for reasons outside 
the control of the U.S. Government (including a lack of cooperation by 
the host government authority, the end-user, or the ultimate 
consignee). On July 16, 2004, BIS published a notice in the Federal 
Register that advised exporters that the Unverified List would also 
include persons in foreign countries in transactions where BIS is not 
able to verify the existence or authenticity of the end-user, 
intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or other party to the 
transaction. The notices further stated that BIS may periodically 
remove names of persons from the list when warranted.
    On October 19, 2006, BIS added to the Unverified List Fuchs Oil 
Middle East Ltd., P.O. Box 7955, Sharjah Airport Intl. Free Zone, 
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates because BIS was unable to conduct a PLC, 
a PSV, and/or was unable to verify the existence or authenticity of an 
end user, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or other party to 
an export transaction. 71 FR 61706. This notice removes the Fuchs Oil 
Middle East Ltd. entry from the Unverified List because BIS recently 
conducted or scheduled a PSV.
    The Unverified List, as modified by this notice, is set forth 
below.

    Dated: September 12, 2008.
Darryl W. Jackson,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Enforcement.

Unverified List (As of May 2, 2008)

    The Unverified List includes names, countries, and last known 
addresses of foreign persons involved in export transactions with 
respect to which: the Bureau of Industry and Security (``BIS'') could 
not conduct a pre license check (``PLC'') or a post shipment 
verification (``PSV'') for reasons outside of the U.S. Government's 
control; BIS was not able to verify the existence or authenticity of 
the end user, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee or other party 
to an export transaction; and/or the person is affiliated with a person 
on the Unverified List by virtue of ownership, control, position of 
responsibility, or other affiliation or connection in the conduct of 
trade or business. Any transaction to which a listed person is a party 
will be deemed to raise a ``red flag'' with respect to such transaction 
within the meaning of the guidance set forth in Supplement No. 3 to 15 
CFR Part 732. The red flag applies to the person on the Unverified List 
regardless of where the person is located in the country included on 
the list.
