SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Middle Class Tax Relief and Job 

Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–96, 

Title VI, 126 Stat. 256 (codified at 47 

U.S.C. 1401 et seq.)) (the ‘‘Act’’) created 

and authorized FirstNet to take all 

actions necessary to ensure the building, 

deployment, and operation of an 

interoperable, nationwide public safety 

broadband network (‘‘NPSBN’’) based 

on a single, national network 

architecture. The Act meets a longstanding and critical national 

infrastructure need, to create a single, 

nationwide network that will, for the 

first time, allow police officers, fire 

fighters, emergency medical service 

professionals, and other public safety 

entities to effectively communicate with 

each other across agencies and 

jurisdictions. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347) 

(‘‘NEPA’’) requires federal agencies to 

undertake an assessment of 

environmental effects of their proposed 

actions prior to making a final decision 

and implementing the action. NEPA 

requirements apply to any federal 

project, decision, or action that may 

have a significant impact on the quality 

of the human environment. NEPA also 

establishes the Council on 

Environmental Quality (‘‘CEQ’’), which 

issued regulations implementing the 

procedural provisions of NEPA (see 40 

CFR parts 1500–1508). Among other 

considerations, CEQ regulations at 40 

CFR 1508.28 recommend the use of 

tiering from a ‘‘broader environmental 

impact statement (such as a national 

program or policy statements) with 

subsequent narrower statements or 

environmental analysis (such as 

regional or basin wide statements or 

ultimately site-specific statements) 

incorporating by reference the general 

discussions and concentrating solely on 

the issues specific to the statement 

subsequently prepared.’’ 

Due to the geographic scope of 

FirstNet (all 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, and five territories) and the 

diversity of ecosystems potentially 

traversed by the project, FirstNet has 

elected to prepare five regional PEISs. 

The five PEISs will be divided as 

follows: 

East Central West South Non-contiguous 

Delaware Colorado Arizona Alabama Alaska 

District of Columbia Illinois California Arkansas American Samoa 

Connecticut Indiana Idaho Florida CNMI 

Maine Iowa Nevada Georgia Guam 

Maryland Kansas Oregon Kentucky Hawaii 

Massachusetts Michigan Washington Louisiana Puerto Rico 

New Hampshire Minnesota Mississippi U.S. Virgin Islands 

New Jersey Missouri New Mexico 

New York Montana North Carolina 

Pennsylvania Nebraska Oklahoma 

Rhode Island North Dakota South Carolina 

Vermont Ohio Tennessee 

Virginia South Dakota Texas 

West Virginia Utah 

Wisconsin 

Wyoming 

Once a PEIS is completed and a 

Record of Decision (ROD) is signed, the 

proposed FirstNet projects can begin to 

submit the site-specific environmental 

documentation to determine if the 

proposed project has been adequately 

evaluated in the PEIS or warrants a 

Categorical Exclusion, an 

Environmental Assessment, or an 

Environmental Impact Statement.

Bureau of Industry and Security 

Order Denying Export Privileges; In the 

Matter of: Mohammad Hakim Hashemi, 

29 The Cedars, Herons Lorde, London, 

England W138JF 

On December 16, 2013, in the U.S. 

District Court for the Southern District 

of California, Mohammad Hakim 

Hashemi (‘‘Hashemi’’) was convicted of 

violating the International Emergency 

Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, 

et seq. (2006 & Supp. IV 2010)) 

(‘‘IEEPA’’). Specifically, Hashemi 

knowingly and willfully agreed and 

conspired with others, known and 

unknown, to export and cause the 

exportation, sale, and supply, indirectly, 

of aircraft parts from the United States 

to Iran without having first obtained the 

required licenses and authorizations 

from the Office of Foreign Assets 

Control, United States Department of 

Treasury (‘‘OFAC’’), and to engage in 

transactions within the Unites States 

that evade and avoid, and have the 

purpose of evading and avoiding, the 

prohibition against exporting, 

reexporting, selling and supplying, 

directly and indirectly, aircraft parts 

from the United States to Iran without 

having first obtained the required 

licenses and authorizations from OFAC. 

Hashemi was sentenced to 27 months of 

imprisonment, three years of supervised 

release, and a $100 assessment. 

Section 766.25 of the Export 

Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or 

‘‘Regulations’’) 1 provides, in pertinent 

part, that ‘‘[t]he Director of the Office of 

Exporter Services, in consultation with 

the Director of the Office of Export 

Enforcement, may deny the export 

privileges of any person who has been 

convicted of a violation of the Export 

Administration Act (‘‘EAA’’), the EAR, 

or any order, license or authorization 

issued thereunder; any regulation, 

license, or order issued under the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706); 18 

U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section 4(b) of 

the Internal Security Act of 1950 (50 

U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms 

Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).’’ 15 

CFR 766.25(a); see also Section 11(h) of 

the EAA, 50 U.S.C. app. 2410(h). The 

denial of export privileges under this 

provision may be for a period of up to 

10 years from the date of the conviction. 

15 CFR 766.25(d); see also 50 U.S.C. 

app. 2410(h). In addition, Section 750.8 

of the Regulations states that the Bureau 

of Industry and Security’s Office of 

Exporter Services may revoke any 

Bureau of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’) 

licenses previously issued in which the 

person had an interest in at the time of 

his conviction. 

BIS has received notice of Hashemi’s 

conviction for violating the IEEPA and 

in accordance with Section 766.25 of 

the Regulations, BIS has provided notice 

and an opportunity for Hashemi to make 

a written submission to BIS. 

Subsequently, BIS granted Hashemi a 

60-day extension until September 26, 

2014 to submit a response. BIS has not 

received a submission from Hashemi. 

Based upon my review and 

consultations with BIS’s Office of 

Export Enforcement, including its 

Director, and the facts available to BIS, 

I have decided to deny Hashemi’s 

export privileges under the Regulations 

for a period of 10 years from the date of 

Hashemi’s conviction. I have also 

decided to revoke all licenses issued 

pursuant to the Act or Regulations in 

which Hashemi had an interest at the 

time of his conviction. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:
