In the Matter of: Thomas Allen Glomski, 8030 E Lakeside Parkway, 
Apt. 2207, Tucson, AZ 85730; Order Denying Export Privileges

    On May 12, 2022, in the U.S. District Court for the District of 
Arizona, Thomas Allen Glomski (``Glomski'') was convicted of violating 
18 U.S.C. 371 and 18 U.S.C. 554(a). Specifically, Glomski was convicted 
of conspiring to smuggle and smuggling ammunition from the United 
States to Mexico. As a result of his conviction, the Court sentenced 
Glomski to time served, 36 months of supervised release, and a $200 
special assessment.
    Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the Export Control Reform Act 
(``ECRA''),\1\ the export privileges of any person who has been 
convicted of certain offenses, including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C. 
371 and 18 U.S.C. 554, may be denied for a period of up to ten (10) 
years from the date of his/her conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e). In 
addition, any Bureau of Industry and Security (``BIS'') licenses or 
other authorizations issued under ECRA, in which the person had an 
interest at the time of the conviction, may be revoked. Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ECRA was enacted on August 13, 2018, as part of the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, and 
as amended is codified at 50 U.S.C. 4801-4852.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BIS received notice of Glomski's conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. 
371 and 18 U.S.C. 554. As provided in section 766.25 of the Export 
Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or the ``Regulations''), BIS 
provided notice and opportunity for Glomski to make a written 
submission to BIS. 15 CFR 766.25.\2\ BIS has not received a written 
submission from Glomski.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of 
Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730-774 (2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based upon my review of the record and consultations with BIS's 
Office of Exporter Services, including its Director, and the facts 
available to BIS, I have decided to deny Glomski's export privileges 
under the Regulations for a period of seven years from the date of 
Glomski's conviction. The Office of Exporter Services has also decided 
to revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which Glomski had an interest at 
the time of his conviction.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Director, Office of Export Enforcement, is the 
authorizing official for issuance of denial orders pursuant to 
amendments to the Regulations (85 FR 73411, November 18, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:

766.25 of the Regulations, any other person, firm, corporation, or 
business organization related to Glomski by ownership, control, 
position of responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the
