In the Matter of: Ali Amirnazmi, Register 

#63302–066, FCI Allenwood Low, Federal 

Correctional Institution, P.O. Box 1000, 

White Deer, PA 17887 and 547 Green Hill 

Lane, Berwyn, PA 19312. 

On January 11, 2010, in the U.S. 

District Court for the Eastern District of 

Pennsylvania, Ali Amirnazmi 

(‘‘Amirnazmi’’) was found guilty on 

three counts of violating the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. 

(2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’); one count of 

conspiracy to violate the IEEPA (18 

U.S.C. 371 (2000)); three counts of 

making false statements to Federal 

officials (18 U.S.C. 1001 (2000)), and 

three counts of bank fraud (18 U.S.C. 

1344 (2000)). Amirnazmi, a citizen of 

both the United States and Iran, engaged 

in financial and business transactions 

with companies in Iran between 

November 1996 and June 2008 without 

obtaining the proper licenses from the 

U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of 

Foreign Assets Control. Amirnazmi was 

sentenced to a prison term of 48 months 

and ordered to pay restitution in the 

amount of $17,277.37. He will also serve 

five years of supervised release and 

forfeit $81,277.37. 

Section 766.25 of the Export 

Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or 

‘‘Regulations’’) 1 provides, in pertinent 

part, that ‘‘[t]he Director of the Office of 

Exporter Services, in consultation with 

the Director of the Office of Export 

Enforcement, may deny the export 

privileges of any person who has been 

convicted of a violation of the [Export 

Administration Act (‘‘EAA’’)], the EAR, 

or any order, license or authorization 

issued thereunder; any regulation, 

license, or order issued under the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706); 18 

U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section 4(b) of 

the Internal Security Act of 1950 (50 

U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms 

Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).’’ 15 

CFR 766.25(a); see also Section 11(h) of 

the EAA, 50 U.S.C. app. section 2410(h). 

The denial of export privileges under 

this provision may be for a period of up 

to 10 years from the date of the 

conviction. 15 CFR 766.25(d); see also 

50 U.S.C. app. section 2410(h). In 

addition, Section 750.8 of the 

Regulations states that the Bureau of 

Industry and Security’s Office of 

Exporter Services may revoke any 

Bureau of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’) 

licenses previously issued in which the 

person had an interest in at the time of 

his conviction. 

I have received notice of Amirnazmi’s 

conviction for violating IEEPA, and 

have provided notice and an 

opportunity for Amirnazmi to make a 

written submission to BIS, as provided 

in Section 766.25 of the Regulations. I 

have not received a submission from 

Amirnazmi. Based upon my review and 

consultations with BIS’s Office of 

Export Enforcement, including its 

Director, and the facts available to BIS, 

I have decided to deny Amirnazmi’s 

export privileges under the Regulations 

for a period of ten years from the date 

of Amirnazmi’s conviction. I have also 

decided to revoke all licenses issued 

pursuant to the Act or Regulations in 

which Amirnazmi had an interest at the 

time of his conviction. 

Accordingly, It is hereby ordered

affirmative determination of threat of 

material injury to a U.S. industry, and 

its negative determination of critical 

circumstances. See Drill Pipe and Drill

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 11, 2011, the Department 

published its affirmative final 

determination of sales at less than fair 

value in the antidumping duty 

investigation of drill pipe from the PRC. 

See Drill Pipe From the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Determination 

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 

Critical Circumstances, 76 FR 1966 

(January 11, 2011) (‘‘Final 

Determination’’). On February 8, 2011, 

the Department published its amended 

final determination of sales at less than 

fair value in antidumping duty 

investigation of drill pipe from the PRC. 

See Drill Pipe From the People’s 

Republic of China: Amended Final 

Determination of Critical 

Circumstances, 76 FR 6762 (February 8, 

2011). 

On February 24, 2011, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination pursuant to section 

735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), that an industry 

in the United States is threatened with 

material injury by reason of less than 

fair value imports of subject 

merchandise from the PRC. See letter 

from the ITC to the Deputy Assistant 

Secretary of Commerce for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations, 

dated February 24, 2011. In addition, 

the ITC notified the Department of its 

final determination that critical 

circumstances do not exist with respect 

to imports of subject merchandise from 

the PRC that are subject to the 

Department’s affirmative critical 

circumstances finding. Pursuant to 

section 736(a) of the Act, the 

Department is publishing an 

antidumping duty order on drill pipe 

from the PRC. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

steel drill pipe, and steel drill collars, 

whether or not conforming to American 

Petroleum Institute (‘‘API’’) or non-API

steel (i.e., carbon, stainless steel, or 

other alloy steel), and without regard to

Antidumping Duty Order 

On February 24, 2011, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination that an industry in the 

United States is threatened with 

material injury within the meaning of 

section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act by 

reason of less-than-fair-value imports of 

drill pipe from the PRC. 

Because the ITC’s final determination 

is based on the threat of material injury 

and is not accompanied by a finding 

that injury would have resulted but for 

the imposition of suspension of 

liquidation of entries since the 

Department’s preliminary 

determination, section 736(b)(2) of the 

Act is applicable. Therefore, the 

Department will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to 

terminate the suspension of liquidation, 

and to liquidate without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of drill pipe from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption prior to the publication
