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


2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Embassy's assistance in
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050077199 for the
export of Orion aircraft spare parts to Australia. Embassy
is requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 45
days. Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect
pending and future licenses involving parties to this license.


3. Reason for request: John Holland Aviation Services
(Holland),unfamiliar foreign consignee.


4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with
appropriate host government officials to determine if the
Royal Australian Airforce (RAAF) has received the Orion parts
and that the articles are being used for the purpose stated
on the license. Department also requests that Embassy contact
Holland in order to provide Department with an assessment of
its business operations, on-site security, and general
reliability as a recipient of United States Munitions List
(USML) items. Holland POC is Bernadette Franklin, Material
Planner, TEL: 123721317, reference Purchase Order # JM0000291
dated August 7, 2007. The following questions are offered as
suggested guidance with Holland:

- Can Holland provide documentation (e.g. purchase order,
contract, or letter or intent) from the RAAF that firmly
establishes it as the end user of these items?

- Who are Holland's main clients?

- Does the company understand the restrictions on USML
articles, particularly regarding re-exporting (no re-transfer
or re-export without USG authorization)?

END ACTION.
