Office of the Spokesperson<\/p>\n

The Department of State has concluded an administrative settlement with Keysight Technologies, Inc. (Keysight) of Santa Rosa, California, to resolve alleged violations of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), 22 U.S.C. \u00a7 2751\u00a0et seq<\/i>., and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), 22 C.F.R. Parts 120-130.\u00a0 The Department of State and Keysight have reached this settlement following an extensive compliance review by the Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance in the Department\u2019s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.<\/p>\n

The Department of State and Keysight have reached an agreement pursuant to ITAR \u00a7 128.11 to address alleged\u00a0unauthorized exports of\u00a0technical data, and in this case, software used for testing radar equipment on fixed or mobile platforms.\u00a0 The settlement demonstrates the Department\u2019s role in strengthening U.S. industry by protecting technical data from unauthorized exports.\u00a0 The settlement also highlights the importance of obtaining appropriate authorization from the Department for exporting software as well as determining proper export jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of the 36-month Consent Agreement, Keysight will pay a civil penalty of $6,600,000.\u00a0 The Department has agreed to suspend $2,500,000 of this amount on the condition that the funds will be used for Department-approved Consent Agreement remedial compliance measures.\u00a0 Also, Keysight must hire an outside Special Compliance Officer for a term of two years and conduct an external audit to assess and improve its compliance program during the Consent Agreement term.<\/p>\n

Keysight disclosed to the Department the alleged AECA and ITAR violations.\u00a0 However, the Department first alerted Keysight of misclassification concerns and advised Keysight to obtain proper classification for the software through a Commodity Jurisdiction request, which led to the discovery of the violations.\u00a0 Keysight cooperated with the Department\u2019s review, including submitting one disclosure that acknowledged the charged conduct, implemented remedial compliance measures, and signed a statute of limitations agreement tolling the statutory period.\u00a0 For these reasons, the Department has determined that it is not appropriate to administratively debar Keysight at this time.<\/p>\n

The Consent Agreement and related documents will be available for public inspection in the\u00a0Public Reading Room of the Department of State<\/a>\u00a0and on\u00a0Penalties and Oversights Agreements<\/a>\u00a0section of the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls\u2019 website.\u00a0 For additional information, please contact the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs\u2019 Office of Congressional and Public Affairs at\u00a0pm-cpa@state.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
