TAGS: ETTC KOMC AIT
SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON APPLICATION 050119838

REF: A. A.2006 BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK

B. B. STATE 11025 DATED 29 JAN 07

C. C. AIT 466 DATED 1 MAR 07

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


2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests AIT-Taipei's
assistance in conducting a pre-license check on application
050119838 for the export of electronic
components and spare parts to Taiwan. AIT-Taipei is requested
to complete this Blue Lantern within
30 days. Lack of response to a Blue Lantern inquiry will
affect pending and future licenses
involving parties to this license.


3. Reason for request: Although foreign consignee Link Wave
Aerospace Technologies, Inc., has been on
more than 35 licenses, it has only been involved in one prior
Blue Lantern inquiry. In that inquiry, the
foreign parties listed in reftels B and C could not confirm
the commodity/quantities required for the proposed
transaction. The license application was denied for foreign
policy reasons; bona fides could not be verified.


4. Action Request: Department requests that AIT-Taipei make
inquiries to verify the bona fides
of Link Wave Technologies, Inc in the proposed transaction.
Conduct a site visit to assess the
company's reliability as a recipient of United States
Munitions List (USML) articles as well as
its operations and on-site security. If a site visit is not
possible, please inform PM/DTCC case
officer. Also, confirm with Chung Shan Institute of Science
and Technology that it ordered the items
listed for the purpose stated on the application.

The following questions provide suggested guidance:

(To Link Wave Aerospace Technologies, Inc.):


- Can Link Wave provide documentation (e.g. purchase order,
contract, or letter of intent) from
Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology confirming its
role as well as the quantities of USML items
required for the proposed transaction?

- Who are Link Wave's main customers and where are they
located?

- 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 governing the
unauthorized re-export, retransfer and end-use of
U.S.-origin defense articles?



(To Chung Shan Institute for Science & Technology (CSIST))

- Please confirm an order for the items listed on license
application 050119838.

- How long has CSIST done business with Link Wave Aerospace
Technologies, Inc.?

- What is the specific role of Link Wave Aerospace
Technologies, Inc. in this transaction?

- Identify any other entities involved in the proposed
transaction, and describe their
respective role(s),if applicable.

End Action.
