Aliaksandr Stashynski, Seneca County Jail, 3040 South State Route 
100, Tiffin, OH 44883; Order Denying Export Privileges

    On February 28, 2013, in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania, Aliaksandr Stashynski (``Stashynski''), was convicted 
of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
1701, et seq. (2006 & Supp. IV 2010)) (``IEEPA''). Specifically, 
Stashynski conspired and agreed, together with others known and 
unknown, to willfully export from the United States to Belarus export-
controlled items, including but not limited to L-3 x 200xp Handheld 
Thermal Imaging Cameras, without first obtaining from the United States 
Department of Commerce a license or written authorization. Stashynski 
was sentenced to six months in prison followed by three years of 
supervised release, a $3,000 criminal fine and an assessment of 
$100.00. Stashynski was released from prison on November 6, 2013.
    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. 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 (2013). The Regulations 
issued pursuant to the Export Administration Act (50 U.S.C. app. 
2401-2420 (2000)) (``EAA''). 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 8, 2013 (78 FR 49107 (August 12, 2013)), has continued the 
Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq. (2006 & Supp. IV 2010)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have received notice of Stashynski's conviction for violating the 
IEEPA, and have provided notice and an opportunity for Stashynski to 
make a written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the 
Regulations. I have not received a submission from Stashynski.
    Based upon my review and consultations with BIS's Office of Export 
Enforcement, including its Director, and the facts available to BIS, I 
have decided to deny Stashynski's export privileges under the 
Regulations for a period of 10 years from the date of Stashynski's 
conviction. I have also decided to revoke all licenses issued pursuant 
to the Act or Regulations in which Stashynski had an interest at the 
time of his conviction.
    Accordingly, it is hereby ordered
    I. Until February 28, 2023, Aliaksandr Stashynski, with a last
