Foreign–Trade Zones Board 

(Docket 13–2007) 

Foreign–Trade Zone 173 Grays Harbor, 

Washington, Manufacturing Authority, 

Imperium Renewables, Inc., (Biodiesel) 

Aberdeen and Hoquiam, Washington 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the Port of Grays Harbor, 

grantee of FTZ 173, requesting 

manufacturing authority on behalf of 

Imperium Renewables, Inc. (IRI), within 

FTZ 173 in Aberdeen and Hoquiam, 

Washington. The application was 

submitted pursuant to the provisions of 

the Foreign–Trade Zones Act, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the 

regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 

400). It was formally filed on April 4, 

2007. 

The IRI facility (70 employees) is 

located within Site 1 of FTZ 173, at the 

Port of Grays Harbor Industrial area. The 

facility will be used for the 

manufacturing and storage of biodiesel 

and glycerin (HTS duty rate ranges from 

duty–free- 4.6%). Components and 

materials sourced from abroad 

(representing 70% of the value of the 

finished product) include: soybean oil, 

sunflower oil, safflower oil, cottonseed 

oil, rape oil, colza oil, mustard oil and 

rapeseed oil (duty rate ranges from 

1.7¢+3.4% to 19.1%). 

FTZ procedures would exempt IRI 

from customs duty payments on the 

foreign components used in export 

production. The company anticipates 

that some 20 percent of the plant’s 

shipments will be exported. On its 

domestic sales, IRI would be able to 

choose the duty rate during customs 

entry procedures that apply to finished 

biodiesel and the glycerin byproduct for 

the foreign inputs noted above. The 

request indicates that the savings from 

FTZ procedures would help improve 

the plant’s international 

competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, a member of the FTZ staff 

has been appointed examiner to 

investigate the application and report to 

the Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions (original 

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 

Board’s Executive Secretary at the 

address below. The closing period for 

their receipt is June 11, 2007. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period 

may be submitted during the subsequent 

15-day period to June 25, 2007. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at each of 

the following locations:

Action Affecting Export Privileges; 

Stephen Lincoln 

In the Matter of: Stephen Lincoln, 21 

Durrell Drive, Rugby, Warwickshire, England 

CV22 7GW; Respondent. 

Order Relating to Stephen Lincoln 

The Bureau of Industry and Security, 

U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘BIS’’) 

has notified Stephen Lincoln 

(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Lincoln’’) of 

its intention to initiate an administrative 

proceeding against Lincoln pursuant to 

Section 766.3 of the Export 

Administration Regulations (currently 

codified at 15 CFR parts 730–774 

(2006)) (‘‘Regulations’’) 1 and Section 

13(c) of the Export Administration Act 

of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 

2401–2420 (2000)) (‘‘Act’’),2 by issuing 

a proposed charging letter to Lincoln 

that alleged that Lincoln committed two 

violations of the Regulations. Specially, 

the charges are:

3 ‘‘ECCN’’ refers to ‘‘Export Control Classification 

Number.’’ See Supp. 1 to 15 CFR 774. 

4The Iranian Transactions Regulations are 

currently codified in the Code of Federal 

Regulations at 31 CFR part 560 (2006). 

Charge 1 15 CFR 764.2(a)— 

Reexporting Item to Iran Without the 

Required U.S. Government 

Authorization 

On one occasion in June 2003, 

Lincoln engaged in conduct prohibited 

by the Regulations by reexporting a 

system containing specialized software 

(‘‘system’’), an item subject to the 

Regulations (ECCN 3 5D002), from the 

United Kingdom (‘‘UK’’) to Iran without 

the required U.S. Government 

authorization. Pursuant to Section 

746.7(a)(2)(ii) of the Regulations, the 

reexport of the system to Iran required 

a license from BIS. Pursuant to Section 

746.7(a)(3), in order to comply with the 

provisions of the EAR, transactions 

subject to both the EAR and the Iranian 

Transactions Regulations 4 maintained 

by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, 

U.S. Department of the Treasury 

(‘‘OFAC’’), require OFAC authorization. 

The reexport of the system to Iran 

required authorization from OFAC 

pursuant to 31 CFR. Part 560.205, and 

no such authorization was obtained. In 

failing to obtain such authorization from 

OFAC, Lincoln committed one violation 

of Section 764.2(a) of the Regulations. 

Charge 2 15 CFR 764.2(e)—Unlicensed 

Transfer of Item to Iran Knowing That 

a Violation of the Regulations Would 

Occur 

In connection with the reexport 

transaction described above, Lincoln 

transferred a system, an item subject to 

the Regulations, from the UK to Iran 

knowing that a violation of the 

Regulations would occur. At all times 

relevant thereto, Lincoln knew that the 

system required authorization from the 

U.S. Government for reexport from the 

UK to Iran and that authorization for the 

reexport would not be obtained. 

Specifically, Lincoln received 

instructions in 2002 from Buehler 

United Kingdom’s parent company, 

Buehler Limited, that items such as the 

system which contain specialized 

software could not be sold to Iran from 

any Buehler locations. He was also 

made aware that selling such items to 

Iran was barred by U.S. law. In so doing, 

Lincoln committed one violation of 

Section 764.2(e) of the Regulations. 

Whereas, BIS and Lincoln have 

entered into a Settlement Agreement 

pursuant to Section 766.18(a) of the 

Regulations whereby they agreed to 

settle this matter in accordance with the 

terms and conditions set forth therein, 

and 

Whereas, I have approved the terms of 

such Settlement Agreement; 

It Is Therefore Ordered: 

First, that for a period of seven years 

from the date of entry of this Order, 

Stephen Lincoln, 21 Durrell Drive, 

Rugby, Warwickshire, England CV22 

7GW, and when acting for or on behalf 

of Lincoln, his representatives, assigns, 

or agents (‘‘Denied Person’’) may not, 

directly or indirectly, participate in any 

way in any transaction involving any 

commodity, software, or technology 

(hereinafter collectively referred to as 

‘‘item’’) exported or to be exported from 

the United States that is subject to the 

Regulations, or in any other activity 

subject to the Regulations, including, 

but not limited to: 

A. Applying for, obtaining, or using 

any license, License Exception, or 

export control document; 

B. Carrying on negotiations 

concerning, or ordering, buying, 

receiving, using, selling, delivering, 

storing, disposing of, forwarding,

exported from the United States that is 

subject to the Regulations, or in any 

other activity subject to the Regulations; 

or 

C. Benefitting in any way from any 

transaction involving any item exported 

or to be exported from the United States 

that is subject to the Regulations, or in 

any other activity subject to the 

Regulations. 

Second, that no person may, directly 

or indirectly, do any of the following: 

A. Export or reexport to or on behalf 

of the Denied Person any item subject to 

the Regulations; 

B. Take any action that facilitates the 

acquisition or attempted acquisition by 

the Denied Person of the ownership, 

possession, or control of any item 

subject to the Regulations that has been 

or will be exported from the United 

States, including financing or other 

support activities related to a 

transaction whereby the Denied Person 

acquires or attempts to acquire such 

ownership, possession or control; 

C. Take any action to acquire from or 

to facilitate the acquisition or attempted 

acquisition from the Denied Person of 

any item subject to the Regulations that 

has been exported from the United 

States; 

D. Obtain from the Denied Person in 

the United States any item subject to the 

Regulations with knowledge or reason 

to know that the item will be, or is 

intended to be, exported from the 

United States; or 

E. Engage in any transaction to service 

any item subject to the Regulations that 

has been or will be exported from the 

United States and which is owned, 

possessed or controlled by the Denied 

Person, or service any item, of whatever 

origin, that is owned, possessed or 

controlled by the Denied Person if such 

service involves the use of any item 

subject to the Regulations that has been 

or will be exported from the United 

States. For purposes of this paragraph, 

servicing means installation, 

maintenance, repair, modification or 

testing. 

Third, that, after notice and 

opportunity for comment as provided in 

Section 766.23 of the Regulations, any 

person, firm, corporation, or business 

organization related to Lincoln by 

affiliation, ownership, control, or 

position of responsibility in the conduct 

of trade or related services may also be 

made subject to the provisions of the 

Order. 

Fourth, that this Order does not 

prohibit any export, reexport, or other 

transaction subject to the Regulations 

where the only items involved that are 

subject to the Regulations are the 

foreign-produced direct product of U.S.- 

origin technology. 

Fifth, that the proposed charging 

letter, the Settlement Agreement, and 

this Order shall be made available to the 

public. 

Sixth, that this Order shall be served 

on the Denied Person and on BIS, and 

shall be published in the Federal 

Register. 

This Order, which constitutes the 

final agency action in this matter, is 

effective immediately. 

Entered this 2nd day of April 2007.
