SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-LICENSE/PRE-SHIPMENT
END-USE CHECK ON LICENSE 050188289

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-license/pre-shipment check on license 050188289 for
the export of International Traffic in Arms (ITAR)-controlled
power take off (PTO) shafts to Pakistan. Post is requested
to complete this Blue Lantern inquiry 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: To verify that the Pakistan Air Force
(PAF) ordered the PTO shafts from foreign consignee Socit
Anonyme Belge De Constructions Aeronautiques (SABCA). The
authenticity of the end-user certificate signed by the
Pakistan Air Force is in doubt. In addition, there are
unusual circumstances surrounding the origin of the PTO
shafts. The applicant, Goodrich Corp., does not know who
imported the PTO shafts into the United States and does not
state how they came to be in Goodrich's possession.


4. ACTION: The Department requests that Post confirm that the
PAF ordered the PTO shafts listed below from SABCA for the
purpose stated on the license. In addition, the Department
requests that Post make inquiries regarding the origin of the
PTO shafts to ascertain whether they are new inventory or
were already owned by the PAF. If already owned by the PAF,
please inquire as to whom the PAF sent the PTO shafts for
repair and refurbishment.

END ACTION.
