Order Denying Export Privileges

    On April 10, 2009, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern 
District of Virginia, Shu Quan-Sheng (``Quan-Sheng'') pleaded guilty to 
and was convicted of violating two counts of Section 38 of the Arms 
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 (2000)) (``AECA''), and one count of 
violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (15 U.S.C. 78dd-1 and 78dd-
2). Specifically, Quan-Sheng was convicted of illegally exporting space 
launch technical data and defense services to the People's Republic of 
China and offering bribes to Chinese government officials. Quan-Sheng 
was sentenced to 51 months in prison, two years supervised release, and 
a $300 special assessment. Quan-Sheng is listed on the Department of 
State's Debarred List.
    Section 766.25 of the Export Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or 
``Regulations'') \1\ provides, in pertinent part, that ``[t]he Director 
of the Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the Director 
of the Office of Export Enforcement, may deny the export privileges of 
any person who has been convicted of a violation of the [Export 
Administration Act (``EAA'')], the EAR, or any order, license or 
authorization issued thereunder; any regulation, license, or order 
issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
1701-1706); 18 U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section 4(b) of the Internal 
Security Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms 
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).'' 15 CFR 766.25(a); see also 
Section 11(h) of the EAA, 50 U.S.C. app. Sec.  2410(h). The denial of 
export privileges under this provision may be for a period of up to 10 
years from the date of the conviction. 15 CFR 766.25(d); see also 50 
U.S.C. app. 2410(h). In addition, Section 750.8 of the Regulations 
states that the Bureau of Industry and Security's Office of Exporter 
Services may revoke any Bureau of Industry and Security (``BIS'') 
licenses previously issued in which the person had an interest in at 
the time of his conviction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of 
Federal Regulations at 15 CFR Parts 730-774 (2009). The Regulations 
issued pursuant to the EAA (50 U.S.C. app. 2401-2420 (2000)). Since 
August 21, 2001, the EAA has been in lapse and the President, 
through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 
783 (2002)), which has been extended by successive Presidential 
Notices, the most recent being that of (August 13, 2009 (74 FR 
41325, August 14, 2009), has continued the Regulations in effect 
under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
1701 et seq. (2000)).

AECA, and have provided notice and an opportunity for Quan-Sheng to
