Order Denying Export Privileges; In the 

Matter of: Abdiel Padron Madrid, 

Inmate Number: 42167–480, FCI La 

Tuna, Federal Correctional Institution, 

P.O. Box 3000, Anthony, NM 88021 

On June 17, 2020, in the U.S. District 

Court for the Western District of Texas, 

Abdiel Padron Madrid (‘‘Madrid’’) was 

convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 554(a). 

Specifically, Madrid was convicted of 

receiving, concealing, buying, selling 

and facilitating the transportation and 

willfully and knowingly attempting to 

export and send from the United States 

to Mexico, six thousand three hundred 

and eighty (6,380) rounds of various 

caliber ammunition, which at the time 

of the attempted export were defense 

articles as defined under the United 

States Munitions List, in violation of 18 

U.S.C. 554. As a result of his conviction, 

the Court sentenced Madrid to 57 

months imprisonment with credit for 

time served, three years of supervised 

release, and a $200 assessment. 

Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the 

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

the export privileges of any person who 

has been convicted of certain offenses, 

including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C. 

554, may be denied for a period of up 

to ten (10) years from the date of his/her 

conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e) (Prior 

Convictions). In addition, any Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) licenses or 

other authorizations issued under 

ECRA, in which the person had an 

interest at the time of the conviction, 

may be revoked. Id. 

BIS received notice of Madrid’s 

conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. 554, 

and has provided notice and 

opportunity for Madrid to make a 

written submission to BIS, as provided 

in Section 766.25 of the Export 

Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or 

the ‘‘Regulations’’). 15 CFR 766.25.2 BIS 

has not received a written submission 

from Madrid. 

Based upon my review of the record 

and consultations with BIS’s Office of 

Exporter Services, including its 

Director, and the facts available to BIS, 

I have decided to deny Madrid’s export 

privileges under the Regulations for a 

period of 10 years from the date of 

Madrid’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Madrid had an interest at the time of his 

conviction.3
