1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.


2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Posts' assistance in conducting
a post-shipment end-use check on license number 05-050036317
for the export of defense hardware to Oman. Posts are
requested to complete this Blue Lantern inquiry within 45
days. Lack of response to a Blue Lantern inquiry will affect
pending and future licenses involving parties to this license.


3. Reason for request: Watchlisted foreign consignee has
never been the subject of a Blue Lantern inquiry.


4. Action London: Department requests that Post make
inquiries to establish the bona fides of Amsafe Bridport as a
responsible recipient of United States Munitions List (USML)
items. Conduct a site visit in order to assess the company's
operations, reliability, and on-site security. If a site
visit is not possible, please inform PM/DTCC case officer.
Reiterate that unauthorized re-exporting and retransfer of
USML items is strictly prohibited. The following questions
provide suggested guidance:

- Please confirm an order that was shipped under license
05-050036317.

- How long has your company been in the business of
importing and selling defense articles? What other products
are sold by your company?

- Are you familiar with the restrictions against the
unauthorized re-export or retransfer of U.S.-origin defense
articles?

- Who are your regular customers and where are they located?

Action Muscat: Department requests that Post make inquiries
to determine whether or not the Sultanate of Oman received
the below-listed items for the purpose stated on the license.


End Action Request.
