UNCLAS STATE 082012 SIPDIS LIMA FOR JESSICA HUARACAYO POL E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ETTC KOMC PE SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK ON LICENSE 050032902 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 post-shipment check on license 050032902 for the export of International Traffic in Arms (ITAR)-controlled night vision devices (NVDs) to Peru. Post is 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: Due to the sensitivity of the equipment and the potential for their diversion or misuse, the Department of State and the Department of Defense have policies to scrutinize NVD export licenses and take steps to ensure proper end-use. Provisos attached to these licenses obligate the end-user to secure the NVDs from loss, theft, or unauthorized access, and to perform routine inventory checks by serial number. These records are to be made available for review upon US Government request. ¶4. ACTION: The Department requests that Post make inquiries to confirm continued possession by the Peruvian Navy of the NVDs, to determine the serial numbers of the NVDs, and to verify that all NVDs are secure and being used only for the purpose stated on the license. Department requests that post conduct a site visit, if possible, in order to gather and verify this information. If a site visit is not possible, please obtain an official written confirmation of receipt and possession and inform the PM/DTCC case officer. END ACTION. ¶5.
