Order Denying Export Privileges; In the Matter of: Marco Antonio
Sanchez, 6540 Dockberry Circle, Brownsville, TX 78521
On June 16, 2020, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Texas, Marco Antonio Sanchez (``Sanchez'') was convicted of
violating 18 U.S.C. 554(a). Specifically, Sanchez was convicted of
knowingly attempting to send or export from the United States to
Mexico, one (1) 7.62 x 39 mm caliber pistol, two (2) 7.62 x 39 mm
caliber magazines and approximately forty (40) rounds of 7.62 x 39 mmm
ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 554(a). As a result of his
conviction, Sanchez was sentenced to 204 days in prison, with credit
for time served, two years of supervised release and a $100 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.
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) (Prior Convictions). 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 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. Sanchez's conviction post-dates
ECRA's enactment on August 13, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIS received notice of Sanchez's conviction for violating 18 U.S.C.
554, and has provided notice and opportunity for Sanchez to make a
written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the Export
Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or the ``Regulations''). 15
CFR766.25.\2\ BIS has not received a written submission from Sanchez.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of
Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730-774 (2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Sanchez's export privileges
under the Regulations for a period of five years from the date of
Sanchez's conviction. The Office of Exporter Services has also decided
to revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which Sanchez had an interest at
the time of his conviction.\3\

recent amendments to the Regulations (85 FR 73411, November 18,
