In the Matter of: Jason Wayne Jarvis, 6108 Shanda Drive, Apt. F, 
Raleigh, NC 27609-3394; Order Denying Export Privileges

    On October 3, 2019, in the U.S. District Court for the Western 
District of Texas, Jason Wayne Jarvis (``Jarvis'') was convicted of 
violating 18 U.S.C. 554(a). Specifically, Jarvis was convicted of 
attempting to sell and facilitate the transportation of firearms, 
silencers, a short-barreled rifle, and a destructive device, prior to 
exportation, knowing them to be intended for exportation contrary to 
any law or regulation of the United States, all in violation of 18 
U.S.C. 554. As a result of his conviction, the Court sentenced Jarvis 
to six months of home confinement, five years of probation, 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). 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 Jarvis's conviction for violating 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 Jarvis to make a written submission to

[[Page 41658]]

BIS. 15 CFR 766.25.\2\ BIS has not received a written submission from 
Jarvis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of 
Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730-774 (2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 Jarvis's export privileges 
under the Regulations for a period of five years from the date of 
Jarvis's conviction. The Office of Exporter Services has also decided 
to revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which Jarvis had an interest at 
the time of his conviction.\3\

authorizing official for issuance of denial orders pursuant to 
recent amendments to the Regulations (85 FR 73411, November 18, 
2020).
