Sec. 766.1  Scope.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C. This part describes the procedures for imposing 
administrative sanctions for violations of the Export Administration Act 
of 1979, as amended (the EAA), the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR), or any order, license or authorization issued thereunder. Parts 
760 and 764 of the EAR specify those actions that constitute violations, 
and part 764 describes the sanctions that apply. In addition to 
describing the procedures for imposing sanctions, this part describes 
the procedures for imposing temporary denial orders to prevent imminent 
violations of the EAA, the EAR, or any order, license or authorization 
issued thereunder. This part also describes the procedures for taking 
the discretionary protective administrative action of denying the export 
privileges of persons who have been convicted of violating any of the 
statutes, including the EAA, listed in section 11(h) of the EAA. Nothing 
in this part shall be construed as applying to or limiting other 
administrative or enforcement action relating to the EAA or the EAR, 
including the exercise of any investigative authorities conferred by the 
EAA. This part does not confer any procedural rights or impose any 
requirements based on the Administrative Procedure Act for proceedings 
charging violations under the EAA, except as expressly provided for in 
this part.
