DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 6721]


Termination of Ineligible Status and Statutory Debarment Pursuant 
to Section 38(g)(4) of the Arms Export Control Act and Section 127.7 of 
the International Traffic in Arms Regulations for Electro-Glass 
Products, Inc.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of State has 
terminated the ineligible status and statutory debarment of Electro-
Glass Products, Inc., pursuant to section 38(g)(4) of the Arms Export 
Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 2778) and section 127.7 of the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

DATES: Effective Date: June 9, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel J. Buzby, Acting Director, 
Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, Directorate of Defense 
Trade Controls, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Department of 
State (202) 663-2812.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 38(g)(4) of the AECA and section 
127.11 of the ITAR prohibit the issuance of export licenses or other 
approvals to a person if that person, or any party to the export, has 
been convicted of violating the AECA and certain other U.S. criminal 
statutes enumerated at section 38(g)(1) of the AECA and section 120.27 
of the ITAR. Such individuals are considered ineligible in accordance 
with section 120.1 of the ITAR. Also, a person convicted of violating 
the AECA is subject to statutory debarment under section 127.7 of the 
ITAR.
    In July 2007, Electro-Glass Products, Inc. was convicted of 
violating the AECA (U.S. District Court, District of Pennsylvania, Case 
<greek-i> 06-00117-001). Based on this conviction, Electro-Glass 
Products, Inc., was ineligible in accordance with section 120.1 of the 
ITAR and was statutorily debarred pursuant to section 127.7 of the 
ITAR. Electro-Glass Products, Inc. was thus prohibited from 
participating directly or indirectly in exports of defense articles and 
defense services. Notice of debarment was published in the Federal 
Register (72 FR 51885, September 11, 2007).
    In accordance with section 38(g)(4) of the AECA and section 127.7 
of the ITAR, the ineligible status and statutory debarment may be 
terminated after consultation with other appropriate U.S. agencies, 
after a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the 
conviction, and a finding that appropriate steps have been taken to 
mitigate any law enforcement concerns. The Department of State has 
reviewed the circumstances and consulted with other appropriate U.S. 
agencies, and has determined that Electro-Glass Products, Inc., has 
taken appropriate steps to address the causes of the violations and to 
mitigate any law enforcement concerns. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 38(g)(4) of the AECA and section 127.7 of the ITAR, Electro-
Glass Products, Inc. is no longer ineligible and the statutory 
debarment is rescinded, effective June 9, 2009.

    Dated: July 27, 2009.
Andrew J. Shapiro
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Department 
of State.
