(WASHINGTON) Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., located in Houston, Texas, has agreed to pay a $15,000 civil penalty for 15 alleged violations of the antiboycott provisions of the Export Administration Act and Regulations, Acting Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Frank Deliberti, announced today. Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. is a division of Halliburton Company, a Dallas, Texas-based oil field services company.
While neither admitting nor denying the allegations, Halliburton agreed to pay the civil penalty. The company voluntarily disclosed the alleged violations to the Department.
The Department alleged that on fifteen occasions during 1993 and 1994, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. violated the Regulations when it failed to report, in a timely manner, its receipt of requests to refrain from shipping Israeli goods to Iran.
The antiboycott provisions of the Export Administration Act and Regulations apply to foreign boycotts fostered or imposed against a country which is friendly to the United States and which is not itself the object of any form of boycott pursuant to United States law or regulation. U.S. individuals and companies are also required to report to the Department, in a timely manner, each boycott-related request they receive.
In April of 2002 the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) changed its name to the Bureau of Industry and Security(BIS). For historical purposes we have not changed the references to BXA in the legacy documents found in the Archived Press and Public Information.
