The Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce (“BIS”), has notified Yaming Nina Qi Hanson, of Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China (“Qi Hanson”), of its intention to initiate an administrative proceeding against Qi Hanson pursuant to Section 766.3 of the Export Administration Regulations (the “Regulations”),^[1] and Section 13(c) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (the “Act”),^[2] through the issuance of a Proposed Charging Letter to Qi Hanson that alleges that Qi Hanson committed one violation of the Regulations. Specifically, the charge is:

Charge 1 15 CFR 764.2(g): Misrepresentation and Concealment of Facts in the Course of an Investigation

On or about January 29, 2009, Qi Hanson made false or misleading statements to the U.S. Government in the course of an investigation. Specifically, in relation to an investigation of unlicensed exports to the People's Republic of China (“China”) of 20 autopilots, items subject to the Regulations, and valued at approximately $90,340, during an interview with a BIS special agent and an FBI special agent on or about January 29, 2009, Qi Hanson represented that several old university classmates in China provided her with $75,000 to purchase the autopilots from the Canadian seller. Qi Hanson knew at the time she made this statement to the agents that it was false and that in fact Fang Yu, President of Xi'an XiangYu Aviation Technical Group of Xian, China, had given her money to finance the entire purchase.

Whereas, BIS and Qi Hanson have entered into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to Section 766.18(a) of the Regulations, whereby they agreed to settle this matter in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

Whereas, I have approved of the terms of such Settlement Agreement;

It is therefore ordered:
