The OverRuled: BIS Export Controls Module has been updated with the following actions:
- 29 Sep 2023 - Cortex Havacilik ve Turizm Ticaret Anonim Sirketi - No Denial Order; No monetary penalty
On September 29, 2023, BIS accepted an ALJ's recommendation to dismiss an appeal from Southwind Airlines ("Southwind") to withdraw the June 15, 2023 TDO Renewal on Nordwind Airlines ("Respondent"). Specifically, Southwind appealed the TDO Renewal on Respondent because it made reference to a "Turkish airline," and Southwind argued that some of its business partners inferred that Southwind was that "Turkish airline" and therefore stopped doing business with it. The ALJ found Southwind had no standing to bring the appeal since it was not listed as a related person in the TDO Renewal and Southwind sought relief outside of the scope of 15 C.F.R § 766.23, therefore, the ALJ recommended dismissing the appeal.
- 29 Sep 2023 - OOO Pegas Touristik - No Denial Order; No monetary penalty
On September 29, 2023, BIS accepted an ALJ’s recommendation to dismiss an appeal from OOO Pegas Touristik ("Pegas Touristik") with respect to the June 15, 2023 TDO Renewal on Nordwind Airlines ("Respondent"). Specifically, Pegas Touristik requested that BIS issue an amended order that retroactively nullifies and voids the addition of Pegas Touristik as a related person to the TDO Renewal, and stated that BIS publicly acknowledges that BIS's designation of Pegas Touristik as a related person to the TDO Renewal was in error. BIS confirmed the recommended dismissal of Pegas Touristik's appeal because Pegas Touristik sought relief outside of the scope of 15 C.F.R § 766.23, and as of June 27, 2023, Pegas Touristik was removed from the Respondent's TDO as a related person and therefore did not have standing to file an appeal.
