DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Bureau of Export Administration

Action Affecting Export Privileges;

Mega Computer Corporation and Peng

K. Lim and Payling Wang; Order

Denying Permission to Related

Persons To Apply for or Use Export

Licenses

In the matters of: Mega Computer

Corporation, 10840 Thornmint Road, San

Diego, California 92127 and Peng K. Lim,

10840 Thornmint Road, San Diego, California

92127 and Payling Wang, 10840 Thronmint

Road, San Diego, California 92127.

On August 10, 1994, Charles M.

Guernieri, Acting Director, Office of

Export Licensing, issued an Order

denying Mega Computer Corporation

(Mega Computer) permission to apply

for or use any export license until

March 23, 2002. 59 FR 42804 (August

19, 1994). The Order was based on Mega

Computer’s conviction of violating the

Export Administration Act of 1979, as

amended (50 U.S.C.A. app. §§ 2401–

2420 (1991 & Supp. 1995)) (the Act).1

Section 11(h) of the Act provides that

any person related, through affiliation,

ownership, control, or position of

responsibility, to a person who has been

denied export privileges as a result of a

conviction for violating the Act, may be

denied export privileges as well. On

June 6, 1995, Peng K. Lim and Payling

Wang were notified that the Bureau of

Export Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, had reason to believe that

they were related to Mega Computer

through affiliation, ownership, control,

or position of responsibility. They were

also advised that, after consulting with

the Acting Director, Office of Export

Enforcement, I intended to deny them

permission to apply for or use any

export license, including any general

license, because of their relationship to

Mega Computer, as provided by the Act

and Section 770.15(h) of the Export

Administration Regulations (currently

codified at 15 CFR Parts 768–799

(1995)) (the Regulations).

The notification also advised Peng K.

Lim and Payling Wang of their right to

request a hearing concerning their

relationship to Mega Computer within

30 days. Although both Peng K. Lim and

Payling Wang received notification,

neither of them requested a hearing or

made any written response.

Therefore, I hereby find that Peng K.

Lim and Payling Wang are related to

Mega Computer, a party denied all U.S.

export privileges until March 23, 2002,

through affiliation, ownership, control,

or position of responsibility.

Accordingly, the Order of August 10,

1994 denying Mega Computer

permission to apply for or use any

export license, including any general

license, is hereby amended as follows:

It is ordered: I. All outstanding

individual validated licenses in which

Mega Computer or either of the related

persons, Peng K. Lim or Payling Wang,

appears or participates, in any manner

or capacity, are hereby revoked and

shall be returned forthwith to the Office

of Exporter Services for cancellation.

Further, all of Mega Computer’s, Peng K.

Lim’s, and Payling Wang’s privileges of

participating, in any manner or

capacity, in any special licensing

procedure, including, but not limited to,

distribution licenses, are hereby

revoked.

II. Until March 23, 2002, Mega

Computer Corporation, 10840

Thornmint Road, San Diego, California

92127; Peng K. Lim, 10840 Thornmint

Road, San Diego, California 92127; and

Payling Wang, 10840 Thornmint Road,

San Diego, California 92127, hereby are

denied all privileges of participating,

directly or indirectly, in any manner or

capacity, in any transaction in the

United States or abroad involving any

commodity or technical data exported

or to be exported from the United States,

in whole or in part, and subject to the

Regulations. Without limiting the

generality of the foregoing,

participation, either in the United States

or abroad, shall include participation,

directly or indirectly, in any manner or

capacity: (i) As a party or as a

representative of a party to any export

license application submitted to the

Department; (ii) in preparing or filing

with the Department any export license

application or request for reexport

authorization, or any document to be

submitted therewith; (iii) in obtaining

from the Department or using any

validated or general export license,

reexport authorization or other export

control document; (iv) in carrying on

negotiations with respect to, or in

receiving, ordering, buying, selling,

delivering, storing, using, or disposing

of, in whole or in part, any commodities

or technical data exported or to be

exported from the United States, and

subject to the Regulations; and (v) in

financing, forwarding, transporting, or

other servicing of such commodities or

technical data.

III. After notice and opportunity for

comment as provided in Section

770.15(h) of the Regulations, any

person, firm, corporation, or business

organization related to Mega Computer,

Peng K. Lim, or Payling Wang, by

affiliation, ownership, control, or

position of responsibility in the conduct

of trade or related services may also be

subject to the provisions of this Order.

IV. As provided in Section 787.12(a)

of the Regulations, without prior

disclosure of the facts to and specific

authorization of the Office of Export

Licensing,2 in consultation with the

Office of Export Enforcement, no person

may directly or indirectly, in any

manner or capacity: (i) Apply for,

obtain, or use any license, Shipper’s

Export Declaration, bill of lading, or

other export control document relating

to an export or reexport of commodities

or technical data by, to, or for another

person then subject to an order revoking

or denying his export privileges or then

excluded from practice before the

Bureau of Export Administration; or (ii)

order, buy, receive, use, sell, deliver,

store, dispose of, forward, transport,

finance, or otherwise service or

participate: (a) in any transaction which

may involve any commodity or

technical data exported or to be

exported from the United States; (b) in

any reexport thereof; or (c) in any other

transaction which is subject to the

Regulations, if the person denied export

privileges may obtain any benefit or

have any interest in, directly or

indirectly, any of these transactions.
