SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON APPLICATION 050151754
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 050151754 for the export
of M-60 tank component parts to Oman. 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: Lack of documentation from the Omani
MoD and unfamiliar foreign consignee, Hayut International
LLC. The company has not appeared on previous licenses nor
have the bona fides of the company been verified by a Blue
Lantern check.
4. ACTION MUSCAT: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with
appropriate host government officials to determine if the
Omani MoD ordered the M-60 tank component parts from
unfamiliar foreign consignee, Hayut International LLC and if
so, verify the amounts that were ordered and that they will
be used for the purpose stated on the license. PM/DTCC also
requests that post conducts a site visit to the company in
order to provide Department with an assessment of its
business operations and on-site security. Finally, post is
asked to assess whether the company appears to be a reliable
recipient of USML items. If a site visit is not possible,
please inform the PM/DTCC officer.
The following questions are provided as suggested guidance:
--Does the company have supporting documentation for this
proposed transaction?
--Does the company have secure facilities and proper
accounting and security procedures for handling sensitive
USML items?
--What is the exact end-use for this USML item? Will Hayut
International retain positive control over the M-60 tank
component parts at all times?
--When was the company established and who are its
principals?
--What is the nature of its business -- what type of items
does it handle, does it serve as a broker?
--What type of organizations are among its typical customers
and where are the customers located?
--Does the company understand the restrictions on United
States Munitions List (USML) items, especially the
prohibition against unauthorized re-transfers and re-exports?
END ACTION
