Order Denying Export Privileges

    In the Matter of: Fuyi Sun a/k/a Frank Sun, Inmate Number: 
77362-054, Moshannon Valley Correctional Institution, 555 Geo Drive, 
Philipsburg, PA 16866.

    On August 31, 2017, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern 
District of New York, Fuyi Sun, a/k/a Frank Sun (``Sun''), was 
convicted of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act 
(50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq. (2012)) (``IEEPA''). Specifically, Sun 
knowingly and willfully attempted to export and cause to be exported 
from the United States to China Toray type M60JB-3000-50B carbon fiber, 
without the required U.S. Department of Commerce licenses. Sun was 
sentenced to 36 months in prison, with credit for time served and a 
$100 assessment.
    Section 766.25 of the Export Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or 
``Regulations'') \1\ provides, in pertinent part, that ``[t]he Director 
of the Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the Director 
of the Office of Export Enforcement, may deny the export privileges of 
any person who has been convicted of a violation of the EAA [Export 
Administration Act], the EAR, or any order, license or authorization 
issued thereunder; any regulation, license, or order issued under the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706); 18 
U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section 4(b) of the Internal Security Act of 
1950 (50 U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act 
(22 U.S.C. 2778).'' 15 CFR 766.25(a); see also Section 11(h) of the 
Export Administration Act (``EAA'' or ``the Act''), 50 U.S.C. 4610(h). 
The denial of export privileges under this provision may be for a 
period of up to 10 years from the date of the conviction. 15 CFR 
766.25(d); see also 50 U.S.C. 4610(h). In addition, Section 750.8 of 
the Regulations states that the Bureau of Industry and Security's 
Office of Exporter Services may revoke any Bureau of Industry and 
Security (``BIS'') licenses previously issued pursuant to the Act or 
Regulations, in which the person had an interest in at the time of his/
her conviction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of 
Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730-774 (2017). The Regulations 
issued pursuant to the Export Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 4601-
4623 (Supp. III 2015) (available at http://uscode.house.gov)) 
(``EAA'' or ``the Act''). 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 
August 15, 2017 (82 FR 39005 (Aug. 16, 2017)), has continued the 
Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq. (2012)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BIS has received notice of Sun's conviction for violating the 
IEEPA, and has provided notice and an opportunity for Sun to make a 
written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the 
Regulations. BIS has not received a submission from Sun.
    Based upon my review and consultations with BIS's Office of Export 
Enforcement, including its Director, and the facts available to BIS, I 
have decided to deny Sun's export privileges under the Regulations for 
a period of 10 years from the date of Sun's conviction. I have also 
decided to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the Act or 
Regulations in which Sun

    Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:

    C. Take any action to acquire from or to facilitate the acquisition 
or attempted acquisition from the Denied Person of any item subject to
