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.
