Sec.  766.23  Related persons.

    (a) General. In order to prevent evasion, certain types of orders 
under this part may be made applicable not only to the respondent, but 
also to other persons then or thereafter related to the respondent by 
ownership, control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or other 
connection in the conduct of trade or business. Orders that may be made 
applicable to related persons include those that deny or affect export 
privileges, including temporary denial orders, and those that exclude a 
respondent from practice before BIS.
    (b) Procedures. If BIS has reason to believe that a person is 
related to the respondent and that an order that is being sought or that 
has been issued should be made applicable to that person in order to 
prevent evasion of the order, BIS shall, except in an ex parte 
proceeding under Sec.  766.24(a) of this part, give that person notice 
in accordance with Sec.  766.5(b) of this part and an opportunity to 
oppose such action. If the official authorized to issue the order 
against the respondent finds that the order should be made applicable to 
that person in order to prevent evasion of the order that official shall 
issue or amend the order accordingly.
    (c) Appeals. Any person named by BIS in an order as related to the 
respondent may file an appeal with the administrative law judge. The 
sole issues to be raised and ruled on in any such appeal are whether the 
person so named is related to the respondent and whether the order is 
justified in order to prevent evasion. The recommended decision and 
order of the administrative law judge shall be reviewed by the Under 
Secretary in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sec.  766.22 of 
this part.
