DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 6527]


Termination of Statutory Debarment Pursuant to Section 38(g)(4) 
of the Arms Export Control Act for Electrodyne Systems Corporation, Now 
AdComm, Inc.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of State has 
terminated the statutory debarment of Electrodyne Systems Corporation 
(now known as AdComm, Inc.) pursuant to section 38(g)(4) of the Arms 
Export Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 2778).

Effective Date: February 9, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David C. Trimble, Director, Office of 
Defense Trade Controls Compliance, Directorate of Defense Trade 
Controls, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Department of State 
(202) 663-2807.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA and section 
127.11 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) prohibit 
the issuance of export licenses or other approvals to a person if that 
person, or any party to the export, has been convicted of violating the 
AECA and certain other U.S. criminal statutes enumerated at section 
38(g)(1) of the AECA and section 120.27 of the ITAR. A person convicted 
of violating the AECA is also subject to statutory debarment under 
section 127.7 of the ITAR.
    In October 1996, Electrodyne Systems Corporation pled guilty to 
violating the AECA (U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, 2:96-
cr-00127-AJL-1). Based on this conviction, Electrodyne Systems 
Corporation was statutorily debarred pursuant to section 38(g)(4) of 
the AECA and section 127.7 of the ITAR and, thus, prohibited from 
participating directly or indirectly in exports of defense articles and 
defense services. Notice of debarment was published in the Federal 
Register (62 FR 14492, March 26, 1997).
    Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA permits termination of debarment after 
consultation with the other appropriate U.S. agencies and after a 
thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the conviction and a 
finding that appropriate steps have been taken to mitigate any law 
enforcement concerns. The Department of State has determined that 
Electrodyne Systems Corporation (now AdComm, Inc.) has taken 
appropriate steps to address the causes of the violations and to 
mitigate any law enforcement concerns. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 38(g)(4) of the AECA, the debarment of Electrodyne Systems 
Corporation (now AdComm, Inc.) is rescinded, effective February 9, 
2009.

    Dated: February 9, 2009.
Frank J. Ruggiero,
Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs, 
Department of State.
