(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Related Persons”).

On June 29, 2006, an order was issued and on July 10, 2006, that order was published in the Federal Register imposing a fifty year denial of export privileges against Ihsan Medhat Elashi (a/k/a I. Ash, Haydee Herrera, Abdullah Al Nasser, Samer Suwwan, and Sammy Elashi), of Seagoville FCI, 2113 North Highway, Seagoville, Texas, 75159 (71 FR 38843, July 10, 2006), resulting from the decision and order issued by the Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security after litigation of administrative charges against Ihsan Elashi related to his involvement in a conspiracy to export items to Syria without the required licenses and for his involvement in a scheme to export items to various destinations in violation of a temporary denial of his export privileges.

BIS has presented evidence that indicates that the Related Persons are related to Ihsan Elashi by ownership control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of trade or business, and that it is necessary to add these persons to the denial order against Ihsan Elashi in order to avoid evasion of that order.

BIS has notified all Related Persons of this action in accordance with the requirements of Sections 766.23 and 766.5(b) of the Export Administration Regulations and BIS received responses from five of the Related Persons. Three of the responses, those of Ghassan Elashi, Majida Salem, and Fadwa Elafrangi, failed to address whether they are related to Ihsan Elashi by ownership control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of trade or business, and whether it is necessary to add these persons to the denial order against Ihsan Elashi in order to avoid evasion of that order. One of the responses, that of Basman Elashi, noted that he was not involved in any of the violations committed by Ihsan Elashi in violation of the temporary denial order against Ihsan Elashi and Tetrabal Corporation. The final response, that of Bayan Elashi, denies complicity in the specific transactions that were the subject of the litigation in the Ihsan Elashi case. After a review of the evidence and the responses, I find that it is necessary to make the Order imposed against Ihsan Elashi applicable to the above-named Related Persons to prevent the evasion of that Order.

It Is Now Therefore Ordered

First, that having been provided notice and opportunity for comments as provided in Section 766.23 of the Export Administration Regulations (hereinafter, the “Regulations”), the following parties (hereinafter, “Related Persons”) have been determined to be related to Ihsan Medhat Elashi (a/k/a I.
