In the Matter of: Joseph Piquet, 76067–004, 

currently incarcerated at FCI Miami, Federal

Order Making Order Denying Export 

Privileges of Joseph Piquet Applicable 

to Related Person Alphatronx, Inc. 

Pursuant to Sections 766.25(h) and 

766.23 of the Export Administration 

Regulations 1 (‘‘EAR’’), the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’), U.S. 

Department of Commerce, through its 

Office of Export Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’), 

has requested that I make the Denial 

Order that was imposed against the 

individual Joseph Piquet (‘‘Piquet’’) on 

May 28, 2010 (75 FR 32742, June 9, 

2010) applicable to Alphatronx, Inc. 

(‘‘Alphatronx’’), 1258 SW. Maplewood 

Dr., Port St. Lucie, FL, 34986, 

(hereinafter, the ‘‘Related Person’’), as a 

person related to Piquet. 

Section 766.23 of the EAR provides 

that ‘‘[i]n order to prevent evasion, 

certain types of orders under this part 

may be made applicable not only to the 

respondent, but also to other persons 

then or thereafter related to the 

respondent by ownership, control, 

position of responsibility, affiliation, or 

other connection in the conduct of trade 

or business. Orders that may be made 

applicable to related persons include 

those that deny or affect export 

privileges * * *.’’ 15 CFR 766.23(a). 

On May 28, 2010, I issued an Order 

pursuant to Section 11(h) of the Export 

Administration Act of 1979, as amended 

(currently codified at 50 U.S.C. app. 

sections 2401–2420 (2000)) (‘‘Act’’) 2 and 

Section 766.25 of the EAR denying the 

export privileges under the Regulations 

of Piquet for 10 years. The Order was 

based on Piquet’s conviction of violating 

the International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. 

(2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’) and Section 38 of the 

Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 

2778 (2000)). Piquet was convicted 

based on his role in a conspiracy to 

purchase high-tech military and dualuse electronic components from a 

domestic corporation and to then ship 

the items from the United States to 

Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of 

China without first obtaining the 

required export licenses. Among the 

commodities involved in this 

conspiracy were high power amplifiers 

designed for use by the U.S. military in 

early warning radar and missile target 

acquisition systems, and low noise 

amplifiers that have both commercial 

and military use. 

BIS has presented evidence that 

indicates that Alphatronx is related to 

Piquet by ownership, control, position 

of responsibility, affiliation, or other 

connection in the conduct of trade or 

business, and that it is necessary to add 

this entity to the Piquet Denial Order in 

order to avoid evasion of that Order. 

The basis for naming Alphatronx to the 

Piquet Denial Order is that Piquet is the 

owner and President of Alphatronx and 

that Piquet made the decisions to utilize 

his company Alphatronx to carry out 

the conspiracy and subsequent 

violations of the AECA and IEEPA. 

As provided in Section 766.23 of the 

EAR, I gave notice to Alphatronx that its 

export privileges under the EAR could 

be denied for up to 10 years due to its 

relationship with Piquet and that BIS 

believes naming Alphatronx as a related 

party to Piquet would be necessary to 

prevent evasion of a denial order 

imposed against Piquet. In providing 

such notice, I gave Alphatronx an 

opportunity to oppose its addition to the 

Piquet Denial Order as a related party. 

Having received no submission, I have 

decided, following consultations with 

BIS’s Office of Export Enforcement, 

including its Director, to name 

Alphatronx as a Related Person to the 

Piquet Denial Order, thereby denying 

Alphatronx export privileges for 10 

years from the date of Piquet’s 

conviction. 

I have also decided to revoke all 

licenses issued pursuant to the Act or 

EAR in which Alphatronx had an 

interest at the time of Piquet’s 

conviction. The 10-year denial period 

will end on May 14, 2019. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered: 

First, that having been provided 

notice and opportunity for comment as 

provided in Sections 766.25 and 766.23 

of the Export Administration 

Regulations (the ‘‘Regulations’’), the 

following entity, Alphatronx, Inc., with 

a last known address at 1258 SW.

63802 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 200 / Monday, October 18, 2010 / Notices 

34986, has been determined to be 

related to Piquet by affiliation, 

ownership, control, or position of 

responsibility in the conduct of trade or 

related services, and it has been deemed 

necessary to make the Order denying 

the export privileges of Piquet 

applicable to Alphatronx in order to 

prevent evasion of the Piquet Denial 

Order. 

Second, that the denial of export 

privileges described in the Piquet Denial 

Order, which was published in the 

Federal Register on June 9, 2010 at 75

Alphatronx until its expiration on May

support activities related to a
