Section 38 of the Arms Export Control 

Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 (2012)) (‘‘AECA’’). 

Specifically, Dobek conspired and 

knowingly and willfully attempted to 

export, exported, and caused to be 

exported F–16 canopy seals, which were 

designated as defense articles on the 

United States Munitions List, from the 

United States to Venezuela without 

having first obtained from the 

Department of State a license for such 

export or written authorization for such 

export. Dobek was sentenced 84 months 

of imprisonment, three years of 

supervised release and fined a $300 

assessment. 

Section 766.25 of the Export 

Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or 

‘‘Regulations’’) 1 provides, in pertinent 

part, that ‘‘[t]he Director of the Office of 

Exporter Services, in consultation with 

the Director of the Office of Export

privileges of any person who has been 

convicted of a violation of the Export 

Administration Act (‘‘EAA’’), the EAR, 

or any order, license or authorization 

issued thereunder; any regulation, 

license, or order issued under the

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706); 18 

U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section 4(b) of

U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms

the EAA, 50 U.S.C. app. § 2410(h). The 

denial of export privileges under this 

provision may be for a period of up to

conviction for violating the AECA, and 

have provided notice and an 

opportunity for Dobek to make a written 

submission to BIS, as provided in 

Section 766.25 of the Regulations. BIS 

has received and reviewed a submission 

from Dobek. 

Based upon my review and 

consultations with BIS’s Office of

I have decided to deny Dobek’s export 

privileges under the Regulations for a
