Order Denying Export Privileges; In the Matter of: Luis Curiel-
Trevino, Inmate Number: 97081-479, Giles W. Dalby, CI, 805 North Avenue
F, Post, TX 79356
On January 14, 2020, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Texas, Luis Curiel-Trevino (``Trevino'') was convicted of
violating 18 U.S.C. 554(a). Specifically, Trevino was convicted for
fraudulently and knowingly exporting and causing to export
approximately 700 rounds of super .38 caliber ammunition and
approximately 100 rounds of .45 caliber auto-ammunition, from the
United States to Mexico, without having first obtained the required
licenses or written authorization from the Department of State, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. 554. Trevino was sentenced to 46 months in
prison, and a $100 assessment.
Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the Export Control Reform Act
(``ECRA''),\1\ the export privileges of any person who
[[Page 9033]]
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. Trevino's conviction post-dates
ECRA's enactment on August 13, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIS received notice of Trevino's conviction for violating 18 U.S.C.
554, and has provided notice and opportunity for Trevino to make a
written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the Export
Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or the ``Regulations''). 15 CFR
766.25.\2\ BIS has not received a written submission from Trevino.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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 Trevino's export privileges
under the Regulations for a period of 10 years from the date of
Trevino's conviction. The Office of Exporter Services has also decided
to revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which Trevino had an interest at
the time of his conviction.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The Director, Office of Export Enforcement, is now the
authorizing official for issuance of denial orders, pursuant to
recent amendments to the Regulations (85 FR 73411, November 18,
2020).
