BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Bureau of Industry and Security 

In the Matter of: Luis Lopez, 719 Ester 

Drive, Donna, TX 78537; Order Denying 

Export Privileges 

On December 17, 2019, in the U.S. 

District Court for the Southern District 

of Texas, Luis Lopez (‘‘Lopez’’), was 

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

Specifically, Lopez was convicted of 

fraudulently and knowingly exporting 

and sending or attempting to export and 

send from the United States to Mexico, 

five (5) AK–47 semi-automatic rifles, in 

violation of 18 U.S.C. 554. Lopez was 

sentenced to 37 months in prison, three 

years of supervised release and a $100 

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 Lopez’s 

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

and has provided notice and 

opportunity for Lopez 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 Lopez. 

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 Lopez’s export 

privileges under the Regulations for a 

period of 10 years from the date of 

Lopez’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Lopez had an interest at the time of his 

conviction.3

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered: 

First, from the date of this Order until 

December 17, 2029, Luis Lopez, with a 

last known address of 719 Ester Drive, 

Donna, Texas 78537, and when acting 

for or on his behalf, his 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

Commerce normally calculates (A) a weightedaverage of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for

of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents using each company’s 

publicly-ranged U.S. sale quantities for the 

merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 

compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate 

closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all 

other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball

Results of Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review; 2019 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers/exporters of ripe 

olives from Spain during the period of 

review, January 1, 2019, through 

December 31, 2019. Interested parties 

are invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable September 7, 2021.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 6, 2020, Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of an 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on ripe olives 

from Spain.1 On April 5, 2021, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this review by 120 

days until August 31, 2021.2 For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

ripe olives from Spain. For a complete 

description of the scope of this 

administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For 

each of the subsidy programs found 

countervailable, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by 

an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.5 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, including 

our reliance, in part, on facts otherwise 

available pursuant to section 776(a) of 

the Act, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

The Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/index.html. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

I to this notice. 

Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected 

Companies Under Review 

There are three companies for which 

a review was requested and not 

rescinded, and which were not selected 

as mandatory respondents or found to 

be cross-owned with a mandatory 

respondent. For these companies, 

because the rates calculated for the 

mandatory respondents, Agro Sevilla 

Aceitunas S.Coop. And. (Agro Sevilla) 

and Angel Camacho Alimentacio ́n, S.L. 

(Camacho), were above de minimis and 

not based entirely on facts available, we 

are applying to the non-selected 

companies the weighted average of the 

net subsidy rates calculated for Agro 

Sevilla and Camacho, which we 

calculated using the publicly ranged 

sales data submitted by Agro Sevilla and 

Camacho.6 This methodology to 

establish the all-others subsidy rate is 

consistent with our practice and section 

705(c)(5)(A) of the Act. For further 

information on the calculation of the 

non-selected respondent rate, refer to 

the section in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum entitled ‘‘Non-Selected 

Company Rate.’’ 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates for the period January 1, 2019, 

through December 31, 2019: 

Producer/exporter Subsidy rate 

(percent)
