Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2023 / Notices 63551 

1ECRA was enacted on August 13, 2018, as part 

of the John S. McCain National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, and as 

amended is codified at 50 U.S.C. 4801–4852. 

2The Director, Office of Export Enforcement, is 

the authorizing official for issuance of denial orders 

pursuant to amendments to the Regulations (85 FR 

73411, November 18, 2020). 

3The Regulations are currently codified in the 

Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730– 

774 (2022). 

attempting to smuggle firearms from the 

United States to Mexico. As a result of 

her conviction, the Court sentenced 

O’Brien to 60 months confinement with 

credit for time served, three years 

supervised release, and a $600 special 

assessment. 

On April 12, 2023, I issued an order 

denying O’Brien’s export privileges, 

pursuant to section 1760(e) of the 

Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1

for a period of 10 years from the date of 

her conviction. In addition, the Order 

also incorporated the Office of Exporter 

Services decision to revoke any Bureau 

of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’) 

licenses or other authorizations issued 

under ECRA, in which O’Brien had an 

interest at the time of her conviction. 2

Prior to issuance of the April 12, 2023 

Order, as provided in section 766.25 of 

the Export Administration Regulations 

(‘‘EAR’’ or the ‘‘Regulations’’), BIS 

provided notice and opportunity for 

O’Brien to make a written submission to 

BIS. 15 CFR 766.25.3 BIS did not receive 

a written submission from O’Brien. 

Following issuance of the April 12, 

2023 Order, BIS received notification 

that the last known address listed on the 

Order was incorrect. Specifically, BIS 

has since learned that another 

individual named Katie O’Brien, who is 

not the intended subject of the Denial 

Order, resides at the address listed on 

the April 12, 2023 Order. BIS has 

subsequently obtained updated 

information that indicates that the last 

known address for the individual who 

is the intended subject of the Denial 

Order is 1026 East Spence Avenue, Unit 

103, Tempe, AZ 85281. Therefore, BIS 

is amending the April 12, 2023 Order to 

reflect the last known address of the 

individual convicted of the listed 

offenses for purposes of the denial of 

this individual’s export privileges. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered: 

First, from the date of this Order until 

January 17, 2029, Katie Ellen O’Brien, 

with a last known address of 1026 East 

Spence Avenue, Unit 103, Tempe, AZ 

85281, and when acting for or on her 

behalf, her successors, assigns, 

employees, agents or representatives 

(‘‘the 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, 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, 

transporting, financing, or otherwise 

servicing in any way, any transaction 

involving any item exported or to be 

exported from the United States that is 

subject to the Regulations, or engaging 

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 

from any other activity subject to the 

Regulations. 

Second, no person may, directly or 

indirectly, do any of the following: 

A. Export, reexport, or transfer (incountry) 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, pursuant to section 1760(e) of 

ECRA and sections 766.23 and 766.25 of 

the Regulations, any other person, firm, 

corporation, or business organization 

related to O’Brien by ownership, 

control, position of responsibility, 

affiliation, or other connection in the 

conduct of trade or business may also be 

made subject to the provisions of this 

Order in order to prevent evasion of this 

Order. 

Fourth, in accordance with part 756 of 

the Regulations, O’Brien may file an 

appeal of this Order with the Under 

Secretary of Commerce for Industry and 

Security. The appeal must be filed 

within 45 days from the date of this 

Order and must comply with the 

provisions of part 756 of the 

Regulations. 

Fifth, a copy of this Order shall be 

delivered to O’Brien and shall be 

published in the Federal Register. 

Sixth, this Order is effective 

immediately and shall remain in effect 

until January 17, 2029.

Director, Office of Export Enforcement.
