In the Matter of: Edna Yaritza Zamarripa, 4984 N FM 755, Rio
Grande City, TX 78582-9309; Order Denying Export Privileges
On September 25, 2019, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Texas, Edna Yaritza Zamarripa (``Edna Zamarripa'') was
convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 554(a). Specifically, Edna Zamarripa
was convicted of fraudulently and knowingly exporting and sending 2000
rounds of 7.62 x 39 mm caliber ammunition from the United States to
Mexico, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 554. As a result of her conviction,
the Court sentenced Edna Zamarripa to 46 months in prison, three 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. Edna Zamarripa's conviction post-
dates ECRA's enactment on August 13, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIS received notice of Edna Zamarripa's conviction for violating 18
U.S.C. 554, and has provided notice and opportunity for Edna Zamarripa
to make a written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of
the Export Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or the ``Regulations'').

Zamarripa.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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 Edna Zamarripa's export
privileges under the Regulations for a period of seven (7) years from
the date of Edna Zamarripa's conviction. The Office of Exporter
Services has also decided to revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which
Edna Zamarripa had an interest at the time of her conviction.\3\
