APPLICATION 050185283


1. This is an action message. See paragraphs 2-4.


2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests post assistance in conducting a
pre-license check for the export of air purification blowers
to Singapore. 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: the Foreign End User, KK Women's and
Children's Hospital, has no licensing history with our
office. The requested commodity is a military grade device
used in conjunction with other equipment for protection
against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear
(CBRN/NBC) contamination. The Purpose statement supplied
with the license application is vague about use of the
commodity.


4. ACTION: Please visit the Foreign End User, KK Women's and
Children's Hospital. Confirm the hospital's request for the
quantity and type of the commodity listed below. Make
inquiries to ascertain intended use of the commodity. Ask
hospital officials to show where the blowers will be utilized
and explain their use in conjunction with what other
protective equipment. Are the blowers intended for
protection of all hospital staff, or only for use by
personnel within a specific office or department? END ACTION.
