3. How to Comply with New Iran Sanctions Reporting Requirements in SEC Filings

This live audio-conference briefing will provide hands-on advice on how to comply with Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act (ITRSHRA). This new law, enacted in 2012, imposes significant burdens and legal liabilities on firms that must register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). If you’re not fully up to speed with these new requirements, your organization could face costly penalties and public relations nightmares. The new law applies to any registered firm that has “engaged” in listed transactions with Iran or if any of its foreign subsidiaries have engaged in these transactions. The featured speakers for this timely program are two experts on Iran sanctions and SEC requirements, Matthew West and John Winter, partners with the law firm Baker Botts L.L.P. in Washington and New York.

4. How to Use and Benefit from License Exception STA

In the 18 months since the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued the final rule establishing License Exception Strategic Trade Authorization (STA), a growing number of companies have discovered the benefits of exporting under the exception to customers in countries that are close U.S. allies. If you aren't taking advantage of this potential path toward lowering the burdens on your export business, this audio-conference briefing will help you learn how STA works, what you can do to take advantage of its provisions and how BIS can assist you in using STA to avoid the need for individual license applications. This timely 90-minute briefing will feature the key officials at BIS who administer STA. They also will share the experience they have gained working with industry over the last 18 months, what advice they have given firms to help them use STA and real-life examples of situations where exporters have used STA to speed their exports and reduce costs and licensing requirements. Our featured speakers are Bernard Kritzer, Director of BIS Office of Exporter Services and Bill Arvin, Analyst, Office of Exporter Services.

  5. Encryption Controls in Mergers & Acquisitions
When your firm is the "buyer" in a high-tech merger or acquisition, proper and robust due diligence is essential, particularly when the transaction involves U.S. export controls on encryption products. If the "seller" has violated encryption rules, your firm could face successor liability and be responsible for paying huge fines and sanctions imposed by U.S. regulators. With encryption becoming so ubiquitous - used in everything from wireless printers and refrigerators to advanced electronics and software, it can be difficult to uncover these violations in the short time allowed for due diligence. The problem is even more acute when the seller is a start-up company that is ignorant of export regulations or has failed to comply with these complex requirements. What can you do to ensure that your due diligence discovers any potential violations before the merger is completed? How can you mitigate or avoid any penalties that might be imposed for discovered violations? How can successor liability be factored into any merger or acquisition agreement? This timely audio-conference briefing will provide the answers you need to prepare for this potential deal-busting problem. Our featured speakers are Craig Ridgley, Partner and Senior Advisor at MK Technology, and Laura Tomarchio, Senior Manager of Trade Compliance at Symantec.

  6. New Export Enforcement Coordination Center and Its Role in Trade Compliance
How will the creation of the new Export Enforcement Coordination Center (E2C2) change the way you deal with U.S. export control enforcement agencies? Will E2C2 clarify your relations with Commerce, State, Treasury, Homeland Security (DHS) and Justice or add more confusion? Will you need to change your export compliance program to include the E2C2? When President Obama signed Executive Order 13558 in November 2010, he established the E2C2 as part of his Export Control Reform Initiative. The E2C2 is supposed to serve as the primary forum for enforcement and intelligence agencies to coordinate export enforcement actions and the primary conduit between enforcement and licensing agencies, while also preserving existing authorities and interagency relationships. In practice, how is E2C2 meeting those goals? This timely audio-conference briefing will provide you a first-hand update on the center's activities from the person directly responsible for its operation. Our featured speaker is Craig Healy, director of the Federal Export Enforcement Coordination Center. To receive a CD recording of this briefing and speaker PowerPoints, just click Add to Cart below.

  7. New Exporting Rules for CCL 600 Series
Do you ever feel like you're diving into the deep end of the pool blindfolded? Lots of exporters feel that way as they try to prepare for the transfer of potentially thousands of items and licenses from the U.S. Munitions List (USML) to the Commerce Control List (CCL) and from the jurisdiction of the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).   Most transferred munitions items will receive new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) that will be known as the 600 series. If you are among the many practitioners who need to learn quickly how BIS will handle export licenses and enforcement for these munitions items, than this audio-conference briefing will give you the insights and information you need to get ready to cope with the new rules and policies. Our featured speakers are the two BIS officials directly involved in drafting the regulations and policies for the 600 series and implementing those rules: Todd Willis, Director, Munitions List Division, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Commerce Department and Kevin Kurland, Director, BIS Office of Enforcement Analysis.

  8. Avoiding the Risks of Antiboycott Violations
If your firm is among the many U.S. companies that are seeing major growth in your exports to the Middle East, then you know the risks you face dealing with the Arab League boycott of Israel and the double set of complex and burdensome Antiboycott Regulations enforced by the Bureau of Industry and Security and the Treasury Department. Even if you avoid penalties, you still must establish and maintain a costly compliance program to prevent even inadvertent acceptance of boycott conditions in tenders, letters of credit and contracts and to report boycott-related requests to BIS and the IRS. This timely 90-minute audio-conference will provide you with a basic introduction to the requirements of both BIS and Treasury antiboycott rules and new options you can use to avoid violations when you receive a request to comply with the boycott. Our featured speakers are Ned Weant, Director of the Office of Antiboycott Compliance in the Bureau of Industry and Security of the Commerce Department, and David Joy, Senior Counsel in the Office of the General Counsel of the Treasury Department.
