REF: 2006 BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK
1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.
2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests post's assistance in conducting
a pre-license check on application 050103443 for the export
of L100 spare parts to the UAE. Post is requested to
complete this Blue Lantern check within 30 days. Lack of
response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending and
future licenses involving parties to this license.
3. Reason for request: Maximus Air Cargo, unfamiliar foreign
consignee.
4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with
appropriate company officials to determine if Maximus has
ordered the L100 parts and plans to use the items for the
purpose stated on the license. Department requests that
Embassy conduct a site visit to Maximus in order to provide
an assessment of its business operations, on-site security,
and general reliability as a recipient of United States
Munitions List (USML) items. The following questions are
offered as suggested guidance with Maximus:
- Can Maximus provide documentation (e.g. purchase order,
contract, letter of intent) establishing that it ordered the
items from Marshall Aerospace of the UK?
- For what purpose will Maximus use these spare parts? What
does it use the C-130 aircraft for? Does it operate only
within the UAE?
- Who are Maximus's main clients? Does it appear to have any
ties to Iran or other proscribed parties?
- Does the company understand the restrictions on United
States Munitions List (USML) articles, particularly regarding
re-export and retransfer?
If a site visit is not possible, please inform PM/DTCC case
officer. END ACTION.
