SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to conduct 

the 2008 New York City Housing and 

Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS) under 

contract for the City of New York. The 

primary purpose of the survey is to 

measure the rental vacancy rate which 

is the primary factor in determining the 

continuation of rent control regulations. 

Other survey information is used by city 

and state agencies for planning purposes 

as well as the private sector for business 

decisions. New York is required by law 

to have such a survey conducted every 

three years. 

Information to be collected includes: 

age, gender, race, Hispanic origin, and 

relationship of all household members; 

employment status, education level, and 

income for persons aged 15 and above. 

Owner/renter status (tenure) is asked for 

all units, including vacants. Utility 

costs, monthly rent, availability of 

kitchen and bathroom facilities, 

maintenance deficiencies, neighborhood 

suitability, and other specific questions 

about each unit such as number of 

rooms and bedrooms are also asked. The 

survey also poses a number of questions 

relating to handicapped accessibility. 

For vacant units, a shorter series of 

similar questions is asked. Finally, all 

vacant units and approximately five 

percent of occupied units will be 

reinterviewed for quality assurance 

purposes. 

The Census Bureau compiles the data 

in tabular format based on specifications 

of the survey sponsor, as well as nonidentifiable microdata. Both types of 

data are also made available to the 

general public through the Census 

Internet site. Note, however, that the 

sponsor receives the same data that are 

made generally available so as not to 

enable the identification of any sample 

respondent or household. 

II. Method of Collection 

All information will be collected by 

personal interview. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: 0607–0757. 

Form Number: H–100, H–108 

(reinterview). 

Type of Review: Regular. 

Affected Public: Households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

16,500 occupied units. 1,500 vacant 

units. 2,000 reinterviews. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 30 

minutes occupied. 10 minutes vacant. 

10 minutes reinterview. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 8,835. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The 

only cost to the respondent is that of 

his/her time. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.—

Section 8b and Local Emergency 

Housing Rent Control Act, Laws of New 

York (Chapters 8603 and 657). 

IV. Request for Comments

(hereinafter collectively referred to as the 

‘‘Related Persons’’). 

On June 29, 2006, an order was issued 

and on July 10, 2006, that order was 

published in the Federal Register 

imposing a fifty year denial of export 

privileges against Ihsan Medhat Elashi 

(a/k/a I. Ash, Haydee Herrera, Abdullah 

Al Nasser, Samer Suwwan, and Sammy 

Elashi), of Seagoville FCI, 2113 North 

Highway, Seagoville, Texas, 75159 (71 

FR 38843, July 10, 2006), resulting from 

the decision and order issued by the 

Under Secretary of Commerce for 

Industry and Security after litigation of 

administrative charges against Ihsan 

Elashi related to his involvement in a 

conspiracy to export items to Syria 

without the required licenses and for his 

involvement in a scheme to export items 

to various destinations in violation of a 

temporary denial of his export 

privileges. 

BIS has presented evidence that 

indicates that the Related Persons are 

related to Ihsan Elashi by ownership 

control, position of responsibility, 

affiliation, or other connection in the 

conduct of trade or business, and that it 

is necessary to add these persons to the 

denial order against Ihsan Elashi in 

order to avoid evasion of that order. 

BIS has notified all Related Persons of 

this action in accordance with the 

requirements of Sections 766.23 and 

766.5(b) of the Export Administration 

Regulations and BIS received responses 

from five of the Related Persons. Three 

of the responses, those of Ghassan 

Elashi, Majida Salem, and Fadwa 

Elafrangi, failed to address whether they 

are related to Ihsan Elashi by ownership 

control, position of responsibility, 

affiliation, or other connection in the 

conduct of trade or business, and 

whether it is necessary to add these 

persons to the denial order against Ihsan 

Elashi in order to avoid evasion of that 

order. One of the responses, that of 

Basman Elashi, noted that he was not 

involved in any of the violations 

committed by Ihsan Elashi in violation 

of the temporary denial order against 

Ihsan Elashi and Tetrabal Corporation. 

The final response, that of Bayan Elashi, 

denies complicity in the specific 

transactions that were the subject of the 

litigation in the Ihsan Elashi case. After 

a review of the evidence and the 

responses, I find that it is necessary to 

make the Order imposed against Ihsan 

Elashi applicable to the above-named 

Related Persons to prevent the evasion 

of that Order. 

It Is Now Therefore Ordered 

First, that having been provided 

notice and opportunity for comments as 

provided in Section 766.23 of the Export 

Administration Regulations (hereinafter, 

the ‘‘Regulations’’), the following parties

Medhat Elashi (a/k/a I. Ash, Haydee 

Herrera, Abdullah Al Nasser, Samer 

Suwwan, and Sammy Elashi), of 

Seagoville FCI, 2113 North Highway, 

Seagoville, Texas, 75159, by affiliation, 

ownership, control, or position of 

responsibility in the conduct of trade or 

related services, and it has been deemed 

necessary to make the Order denying 

the export privileges of Ihsan Elashi 

applicable to these Related Persons in 

order to prevent evasion of the Order:

Lake Drive, Richardson, Texas 75081.

A. Denial of Export Privileges of 

Fernando Sero, a/k/a Ferdie Resada 

On December 15, 2005, in the U.S. 

District Court for the Southern District 

of New York, following a plea of guilty, 

Fernando Sero, a/k/a Ferdie Resada 

(‘‘Sero’’) was convicted of violating 

Section 38 of the Arms Export Control 

Act (22 U.S.C. §§ 2778 (2000)) 

(‘‘AECA’’). Sero pled guilty to 

knowingly and willfully causing to be 

exported from the United States to a 

location on the Island of Mindanao, in 

the Southern Philippines, U.S. defense 

articles to wit, weapons parts, which 

were designated as defense articles on 

the United States Munitions List, 

without having first obtained a valid 

license from the Department of State for 

such export, or written authorization for 

such an export. Sero was sentenced to 

40 months imprisonment followed by 

three years of supervised release. 

Section 11(h) of the Export 

Administration Act of 1979, as amended 

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

§§ 2401–2420 (2000)) (‘‘Act’’) 1 and 

Section 766.25 of the Export 

Administration Regulations2

(‘‘Regulations’’) provide, in pertinent 

part, that ‘‘[t]he Director 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 * * * 

Section 38 of the Arms Export Control 

Act (22 U.S.C. 2778),’’ 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 Sero’s 

conviction for violating the AECA, and 

have provided notice and an 

opportunity for Sero to make a written 

submission to the Bureau of Industry 

and Security as provided in Section 

766.25 of the Regulations. I have also 

received a written submission from Sero 

explaining why he does not believe a 10 

year denial is appropriate and have 

decided, following consideration of his 

submission and consultations with the 

Export Enforcement, including the 

Director, Office of Export Enforcement, 

to deny Sero’s conviction. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:
