 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 19, 2006 / Notices
the Bureau of Industry and Security
(‘‘BIS’’), U.S. Department of Commerce,
through its Office of Export Enforcement
(‘‘OEE’’), has requested that I issue an
Order temporarily denying the export
privileges under the EAR of Tysonic
Enterprises, 10 Anson Road, 15–14
International Plaza, Singapore, 079903
SG, and Chan Heep Loong, 10 Anson
Road, 15–14 International Plaza,
Singapore, 079903 SG and 95 Havelock
Road #14–583, Singapore, 160095 SG,
(hereinafter collectively referred to as
the ‘‘Respondents’’) for 180 days.
In its request, BIS has presented
evidence that shows that Chan Heep
Loong (‘‘Loong’’), the owner and
operator of Tysonic Enterprises
(‘‘Tysonic’’) caused, aided or abetted the
doing of an act prohibited by the EAR.
Specifically, Loong purchased items
subject to both the EAR and the Iranian
Transactions Regulations of the
Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC),2 from U.S.
companies and caused those
commodities to be shipped to Iran
without authorization from OFAC as
required by § 746.7 of the EAR.
Specifically, the evidence shows that,
on or around February 14, 2005,
Respondents caused a U.S. company to
export GPS engines, items subject to the
EAR and classified by Export Control
Classification Number 7A994, from the
United States to Respondents in
Singapore. On or about February 24,
2005, Respondents then shipped these
items to Iran Electronics Industries
located in Shiraz, Iran. This shipment
was a transaction subject to the Iranian
Transactions Regulations, and was done
without authorization from OFAC as
required by § 746.7 of the EAR.
The evidence also shows that on or
around March 28, 2005, Respondents
caused a U.S. company to export an RF
Power Meter, an item subject to the EAR
and classified by Export Control
Classification Number 3A992, from the
United States to Respondents in
Singapore. On or about May 12, 2005,
Respondents then shipped this item to
Iran Electronics Industries located in
Shiraz, Iran. This shipment was a
transaction subject to the Iranian
Transactions Regulations, and was done
without authorization from OFAC as
required by § 746.7 of the EAR.
The evidence also demonstrates that
the Respondents were aware of
restrictions on the shipment of U.S.
commodities to Iran and that
cchase on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
Respondents would not deal with U.S.
has continued the EAR in effect under the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701–1706 (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’).

VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:09 Apr 18, 2006 Jkt 208001
companies that requested information
about Tysonic’s intended end-users.
I find that the evidence presented by
BIS demonstrates that the Respondents
have violated the EAR, that such
violations have been deliberate and
covert, and that there is a likelihood of
future violations, particularly given the
nature of the transactions. As such, a
Temporary Denial Order (‘‘TDO’’) is
needed to give notice to persons and
companies in the United States and
abroad that they should cease dealing
with the Respondents in export
transactions involving items subject to
the EAR. Such a TDO is consistent with
the public interest to preclude future
violations of the EAR.
Accordingly, I find that a TDO
naming Tysonic and Loong as
Respondents is necessary, in the public
interest, to prevent an imminent
violation of the EAR. This Order is
issued on an ex parte basis without a
hearing based upon BIS’s showing of an
imminent violation.
It is Therefore Ordered:
First, that the Respondents, Tysonic
Enterprises, 10 Anson Road, 15–14
International Plaza, Singapore, 079903
SG, and Chan Heep Loong, 10 Anson
Road, 15–14 International Plaza,
Singapore, 079903 SG and 95 Havelock
Road, #14–583, Singapore, 160095 SG,
(collectively the ‘‘Denied Persons’’),
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
Export Administration Regulations
(‘‘EAR’’), or in any other activity subject
to the EAR, 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 EAR, or in any other
subject to the EAR; or
C. Benefiting in any way from any
transaction involving any item exported
or to be exported from the United States
that is subject to the EAR, or in any
other activity subject to the EAR.
Second, that no person may, directly
or indirectly, do any of the following:
A. Export or reexport to or on behalf
of the Denied Persons any item subject
to the EAR;

B. Take any action that facilitates the

whereby the Denied Persons acquires or

C. Take any action to acquire from or
to facilitate the acquisition or attempted

been or will be exported from the
United States and which is owned,
possessed or controlled by the Denied
Persons, or service any item, of
whatever origin, that is owned,
possessed or controlled by the Denied
Persons if such service involves the use
of any item subject to the EAR 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, that, after notice and
opportunity for comment as provided in
section 766.23 of the EAR, any other
person, firm, corporation, or business
organization related to any of the
Denied Persons by affiliation,
ownership, control, or position of
responsibility in the conduct of trade or
related services may also be made
subject to the provisions of this Order.
Fourth, that this Order does not
prohibit any export, reexport, or other
transaction subject to the EAR where the
only items involved that are subject to
the EAR are the foreign-produced direct
product of U.S.-origin technology.
In accordance with the provisions of
Section 766.24(e) of the EAR, the
Respondents may, at any time, appeal
this Order by filing a full written
statement in support of the appeal with
the Office of the Administrative Law
Judge, U.S. Coast Guard ALJ Docketing

written request not later than 20 days
before the expiration date. The

Background
On September 28, 2005, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of administrative review of the
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:09 Apr 18, 2006 Jkt 208001
antidumping duty order on certain cut–

Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005).
The preliminary results for this review
are currently due no later than May 3,
2006.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
On January 23, 2006, the Department
initiated a sales–below-cost
investigation in this review. See
Memorandum to Richard O. Weible,
Director, through Abdelali Elouaradia,
Program Manager, from John Drury and
Dena Aliadinov, Case Analysts, and
Ernest Gziryan, Case Accountant,
regarding IPSCO Steel Inc.’s Allegation
of Sales Below the Cost of Production
for Mittal Steel Galati S.A. On January
23, 2006, and March 15, 2006,
respectively, the Department issued
Section D of the Antidumping
Questionnaire and the first
Supplemental Section D Questionnaire.
The Department requires additional
time to review and analyze the
Supplemental Section D Questionnaire
response, issue additional supplemental
sales and cost questionnaires, if
necessary, and possibly verify the sales
and cost information submitted by
Mittal Steel Galati S.A. Therefore, we
find that it is not practicable to
complete this review within the
originally anticipated time limit.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and
section 351.213(h)(2) of the
Department’s regulations allow the
Department to extend the deadline for
the preliminary results to a maximum of
365 days from the last day of the
anniversary month of the order. For the
reasons noted above, the Department is
extending the time limit for completion
of the preliminary results to no later
than August 31, 2006, in accordance
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. We
intend to issue the final results no later
than 120 days after publication of the
notice of the preliminary results.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
