50876 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 174 / Monday, September 13, 2021 / Notices 

1ECRA was enacted 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. Awer’s conviction post-dates ECRA’s 

enactment on August 13, 2018. 

2The Regulations are currently codified in the 

Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730– 

774 (2021). 

3Pursuant to recent amendments to the 

Regulations, the Director of the Office of Export 

Enforcement is now the authorizing official for 

issuance of denial orders. (85 FR 73411, November 

18, 2020). 

Section 38 of the Arms Export Control 

Act (22 U.S.C. § 2778) (‘‘AECA’’). 

Specifically, Awer was convicted for 

knowingly and willfully attempting to 

export firearms and ammunitions from 

the United States to Barbados without 

having first obtained the required 

licenses or written approval from the 

United States Department of State. As a 

result of his conviction, the Court 

sentenced Awer to 46 months in prison, 

two years of supervised released, and a 

$100 court assessment. 

Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the 

Export Control Reform Act of 2018 

(‘‘ECRA’’),1 the export privileges of any 

person who has been convicted of 

certain offenses, including, but not 

limited to, Section 38 of the AECA, 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 Awer’s 

conviction for violating Section 38 of 

the AECA, and has provided notice and 

opportunity for Awer 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 Awer. 

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 Awer’s export 

privileges under the Regulations for a 

period of 10 years from the date of 

Awer’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Awer had an interest at the time of his 

conviction.3

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered: 

First, from the date of this Order until 

February 14, 2030, Akeem Shonari 

Awer, with a last known address of

Correctional Institution, 2001 

Rickabaugh Drive, Big Spring, TX 

79720, 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,

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

Second, no person may, directly or 

indirectly, do any of the following:

Person any item subject to the

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 (50 U.S.C. 4819(e)) and Sections 

766.23 and 766.25 of the Regulations, 

any other person, firm, corporation, or 

business organization related to Awer 

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, Awer may file an 

appeal of this Order with the Under
