Box 3321, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands; Respondents.

Pursuant to § 766.24 of the Export Administration Regulations (the ‘‘Regulations’’ or ‘‘EAR’’), 1 I hereby grant the request of the Office of Export Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’) to modify the January 3, 2014 Order Denying the Export Privileges of Adaero International Trade LLC, Recep Sadettin Ilgin, 3K Aviation Consulting and Logistics, Huseyin Engin Borluca and Pouya Air, as I find that modification of the Temporary Denial Order (‘‘TDO’’) is necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the EAR. Specifically, I find it necessary to add the following person as an additional Respondent in order to prevent an imminent violation of the Regulations and the TDO: Evans Meridians Ltd., Drake Chambers, 1st Floor, Yamraj Building, P.O. Box 3321, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. I. Procedural History

On January 3, 2014, I signed a TDO denying for 180 days the export privileges of 3K Aviation Consulting & Logistics, also known as 3K Havacilik Ve Danismanlik SAN. TIC. LTD. ST. (‘‘3K Aviation’’); Huseyin Engin Boluca (3K Aviation Consulting & Leasing’s founder and director); Adaero International Trade, LLC (‘‘Adaero’’); Recep Sadettin Ilgin (Adaero International Trade’s managing director); and Pouya Airline, also known as Pouya Air. The TDO was issued ex parte pursuant to § 766.24(a) and went into effect upon issuance on January 3, 2014. The TDO was published in the Federal Register on January 10, 2014. 79 FR 1823 (Jan. 10, 2014).

In connection with the TDO, OEE presented evidence that in December 2013, two U.S.-origin General Electric CF6 aircraft engines 2 bearing manufacturer’s serial numbers (‘‘MSN’’) 695244 and 705112 were transported on behalf of Adaero International Trade, LLC to 3K Aviation Consulting & Logistics (‘‘3K Aviation’’), which is located in Turkey, and that 3K Aviation was preparing to re-export the engines to Iran without the U.S. Government authorization required by § 746.7 of the EAR. OEE had further information that Pouya Airline, an Iranian cargo airline, was scheduled to transport both engines from Turkey to Iran on January 7, 2014.

As discussed further below, OEE has obtained evidence following issuance of the TDO of Evans Meridians Ltd.’s involvement in the attempted export or reexport of the items to Iran. II. Temporarily Denying Evans Meridians Ltd.’s Export Privileges A. Legal Standard

Pursuant to § 766.24(b) of the Regulations, BIS may issue an order temporarily denying a Respondent’s export privileges upon a showing that the order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an ‘‘imminent violation’’ of the Regulations. 15 CFR 766.24(b)(1). ‘‘A violation may be ‘imminent’ either in time or degree of likelihood.’’ 15 CFR 766.24(b)(3). BIS may show ‘‘either that a violation is about to occur, or that the general circumstances of the matter under investigation or case under criminal or administrative charges demonstrate a likelihood of future violations.’’ Id. As to the likelihood of future violations, BIS may show that ‘‘the violation under investigation or charges is significant, deliberate, covert and/or likely to occur again, rather than technical or negligent [.]’’ Id. A ‘‘lack of information establishing the precise time a violation may occur does not preclude a finding that a violation is imminent, so long as there is sufficient reason to believe the likelihood of a violation.’’ Id. B. BIS’s Request To Add Evans Meridians Ltd. to the TDO

In its request, OEE has presented evidence demonstrating that Evans Meridians Ltd. (‘‘Evans Meridians’’), a British Virgin Islands company, is involved with the transaction described in the TDO. Prior to issuance of the TDO, OEE did not have evidence of Evans Meridians’ relationship to the items or role in the transaction. If the evidence presented in support of this modification had been available during consideration of the TDO, OEE would have sought to include Evans Meridians as a denied person on the TDO when issued on January 3, 2014.

The TDO stated that the engines were transported to 3K Aviation on behalf of Adaero. While it remains true that Adaero was involved in both the sale of the engines and the transfer of the engines from Germany to Turkey, evidence obtained by OEE and presented as part of this request shows that Evans Meridians appears on documents as the purchaser and has acted as the owner of the items in connection with their transfer to 3K Aviation en route to Iran. The two aircraft engines remain in the possession and/or control of 3K Aviation in Turkey in violation of the TDO. Moreover, Evans Meridians has made payment to 3K Aviation, a denied person, for customs storage fees for the engines. The payment to 3K Aviation was made on or about January 21, 2014, that is, 18 days after the TDO issued on January 3, 2014, and 11 days after publication of the TDO on January 10, 2014, in violation of the Regulations and/or the TDO. The evidence presented by OEE also supports its reasonable belief that the continued
