Environmental Impact Statement 

AGENCY: Natural Resources 

Conservation Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: The Record of Decision (ROD) 

for the Coal Creek Flood Control and 

Parkway Final Environmental Impact 

Statement is now available to the 

public. On September 1, 2006, the 

Natural Resources Conservation Service 

(NRCS) published a Final 

Environmental Impact Statement 

consistent with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended, to disclose potential effects to 

the human environment resulting from 

proposed flood control improvements to 

Coal Creek in Cedar City, Utah. A notice 

of availability for the ROD was 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on October 3, 2006. 

Availability was delayed due to 

additional information about the 

proximity of Utah prairie dogs, a 

threatened species under the 

Endangered Species Act. The NRCS is 

now completing formal consultation 

with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(FWS). No construction will begin until 

the NRCS has received a biological 

opinion from the FWS. The ROD 

authorizes implementation of 

Alternative C (Replace Main Street 

diversion/drop structure) in conjunction 

with the North Field Canal Option and 

Parkway Option C1. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 13, 

2006.

Order Denying Export Privileges 

A. Denial of Export Privileges of Naji 

Antoine Abi Khalil 

On February 2, 2006, in the U.S. 

District Court in the Eastern District of 

Arkansas, Naji Antoine Abi Khalil 

(‘‘Khalil’’ or ‘‘Respondent’’) pleaded 

guilty to three charges, including one 

violation of the International Emergency 

Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–

1706 (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’). As to the IEEPA 

count, Khalil pleaded guilty of 

unlawfully, willfully, and knowingly 

attempting to and making and receiving 

a contribution of funds, goods, and 

services to, and for the benefit of, 

Hizballah, a specially designated 

terrorist, by receiving and attempting to 

transport night vision goggles, infrared 

aiming lights and other military nightvision equipment to Hizballah. Khalil 

was sentenced to 57 months, 60 months, 

and 60 months for each charge 

respectively; and the sentences will be 

served concurrently. In addition, Khalil 

was fined $100,000.00. 

Section 11(h) of the Export 

Administration Act of 1979, as amended 

(currently codified at 50 U.S.C. app. 

2401–2420 (2000)) (the ‘‘Act’’) 1 and 

Section 766.25 of the Export 

Administration Regulations 

(‘‘Regulations’’) 2 provide, in pertinent 

part, that ‘‘[t]he Director of Exporter 

Services, in consultation with the 

Director of the Office of Export 

Enforcement, may deny export 

privileges of any person who has been 

convicted of a violation of * * * 

IEEPA,’’ for a period not to exceed 10 

years from the date of conviction. 15 

CFR 766.25(a) and (d). In addition, 

Section 750.8 of the Regulations states 

that BIS’s Office of Exporter Services 

may revoke any BIS licenses previously 

issued in which the person had an 

interest in at the time of his conviction. 

I have received notice of Khalil’s 

conviction for violating IEEPA, and 

have provided notice and an 

opportunity for Khalil to make a written 

submission to the Bureau of Industry 

and Security as provided in Section 

766.25 of the Regulations. Having 

received no submission from Khalil, I, 

following consultations with the Office 

of Export Enforcement, including its 

Director, have decided to deny Khalil’s 

export privileges under the Regulations 

for a period of 10 years from the date of 

Khalil’s conviction. 

B. Denial of Export Privileges of Related 

Persons 

In addition, pursuant to Sections 

766.25(h) and 766.23 of the Regulations, 

the director, Office of Exporter Services, 

in consultation with the Director, Office 

of Export Enforcement, may take action 

to name persons related to the 

Respondent by ownership, control, 

position of responsibility, affiliation, or 

other connection in the conduct of trade 

or business in order to prevent evasion 

of the Order. I gave notice to Tomer 

Grinberg (‘‘Grinberg’’), notifying him 

that his export privileges under the 

Regulations could be denied for up to 10 

years as BIS believes that he is related 

to Khalil and including him in the 

Khalil Order is necessary to prevent 

evasion. The basis for naming Grinberg 

to the Khalil Order include the fact that 

Grinberg, is a co-conspirator of Khalil. 

Specifically, Grinberg pled guilty to 

conspiracy to violate IEEPA, in violation 

of 18 U.S.C. 371, for conspiring to 

export from the United States certain 

defense items (night vision goggles, 

infrared aiming devices, and other 

military night vision equipment) and 

Commerce Control List items (Astrocope 

night vision module classified under 

6A003) without the required U.S. 

Government authorization. Based upon 

these facts, Grinberg is related to Kahlil 

by ownership, control, position of 

responsibility, affiliation, or other 

connection in the conduct of trade or 

business and he needs to be named to 

any Khalil Denial Order to prevent 

evasion of it.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 227 / Monday, November 27, 2006 / Notices 68535 

Having received no submission from 

Grinberg, I have decided, following 

consultations with the Office of Export 

Enforcement, including its Director, to 

name Grinberg as a related person to the 

Khalil Denial Order, thereby denying 

his export privileges for 10 years from 

the date of Khalil’s conviction. 

I have also decided to revoke all 

licenses issued pursuant to the Act or 

Regulations in which Khalil and 

Grinberg had an interest at the time of 

Khalil’s conviction. The 10-year denial 

period ends on February 2, 2016. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered
