On November 12, 2003, having approved the terms of a settlement
[[Page 52823]]
agreement between the Bureau of Industry and Security, United States
Department of Commerce (``BIS''), and Respondent Ralph Michel
(``Michel''), then-Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Julie L.
Myers issued an Order (68 FR 65032, Nov. 18, 2003) resolving an
administrative proceeding against Michel pursuant to Section 13(c) of
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (``Act''),\1\ and the
Export Administration Regulations (``Regulations''),\2\ based on
allegations in a proposed charging letter that Michel had committed six
violations of the Regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 50 U.S.C. app. 2401-2420 (2000). Since August 21, 2001, the
Act has been in lapse and the President, through Executive Order
13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has
been extended by successive Presidential Notices, the most recent
being that of July 23, 2008 (73 FR 43603 (July 25, 2008)), has
continued the Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706 (2000))
(``IEEPA'').
\2\ The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of
Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730-774 (2008). The current
version of the Regulations govern the procedural aspects of this
case. The charged violations occurred in 1997. The Regulations
governing the charged violations are found in the 1997 version of
the Code of Federal Regulations (15 CFR parts 730-774 (1997)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Among other things, the November 12, 2003 Order provided a non-
standard denial of export privileges that prohibited Michel, for a
period of five years from the date of that Order, from participating in
any way in any transaction involving the export from the United States
to Pakistan of any item subject to the Regulations or in any other
activity subject to the Regulations that involves Pakistan.
Whereas, the November 12, 2003 Order lists Michel as ``Ralph
Michel, Vice President, Omega Engineering, Inc., One Omega Drive,
Stamford, Connecticut 06907'';
Whereas, the Office of Export Enforcement, Bureau of Industry and
Security, U.S. Department of Commerce (``OEE''), has confirmed that
this address is no longer correct, and that Michel's current address is
``41 Rosewood Dr., Easton, CT 06612''; and
Whereas, as a result of the information OEE obtained regarding
Michel's current address, OEE has requested that an order be issued
amending the November 12, 2003 Order to reflect that new address for
Michel;
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that the November 12, 2003 Order
denying Michel for five years from participating in any way in any
transaction involving the export from the United States to Pakistan of
any item subject to the Regulations or in any other activity subject to
the Regulations that involves Pakistan is amended by deleting the
address ``Vice President, Omega Engineering, Inc., One Omega Drive,
Stamford, Connecticut 06907'', and by adding the address ``41 Rosewood
Dr., Easton, CT 06612''. In all other aspects, the November 12, 2003
Order remains in full force and effect.
This Order shall be effective immediately upon publication in the
Federal Register.
Entered this 4th day of September 2008.
Darryl W. Jackson,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Enforcement.
