Order Amending August 3, 1995 Order Denying Export Privileges

    In the Matter of: Realtek Semi-Conductor Co., Ltd., with 
addresses at 3F, 56, Wu-Kung 6 Rd., Wu-Ku Industrial Park, Taipei 
Hsien, Taiwan; 1F, No. 11 Industry E. Rd. IX, Science-Based 
Industrial Park, Hsinchu, 300 Taiwan; and 6F, No. 4 Fu-Shon Street, 
Taipei, Taiwan, Respondent.

    On August 3, 1995, I issued a Decision and Order of Default 
(hereinafter the ``Order'') against Realtek Semi-Conductor Co. Ltd. 
(hereinafter ``Realtek''), affirming a Recommended Decision and Default 
Order (hereinafter ``Decision'') issued by Edward J. Kuhlmann, 
Administrative Law Judge. In his Decision, Judge Kuhlmann found that 
Realtek had violated the Export Administration Regulations (currently 
codified at 15 CFR Parts 730-774 (1997)) (hereinafter the 
``Regulations''),\1\ issued pursuant to the Export Administration Act 
of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C.A. app. Secs. 2401-2420 (1991 & Supp. 
1997)) (hereinafter the ``Act''),\2\ by causing, aiding, or abetting 
the export of U.S.-origin Trident TVGA 8800 and TVGA 8900 graphic chip 
technology from the United States to Taiwan without the written letter 
of assurance required by Section 779.4 of the former Regulations. Based 
on Judge Kuhlmann's Decision and by Order of August 3, 1995, I denied 
all of Realtek's U.S. export privileges for five years. The Order was 
published in the Federal Register (60 FR 40565, August 9, 1995).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Regulations governing the violation referenced in the 
August 3, 1995 Order are found in the 1994 version of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (15 CFR Parts 768-799 (1994)) and are 
hereinafter referred to as the former Regulations. Since that time 
the Regulations have been reorganized and restructured.
    \2\ The Act expired on August 20, 1994. Executive Order 12924 (3 
CFR, 1994 Comp. 917 (1995)), extended by Presidential Notices of 
August 15, 1995 (3 CFR, 1995 Comp. 501 (1996)), August 14, 1996 (3 
CFR, 1996 Comp. 298 (1997)), and August 13, 1997 (62 FR 43629, 
August 15, 1997), continued the Regulations in effect under the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.A. Secs. 1701-
1706 (1991 & Supp. 1997)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since publication of that Order, Realtek has moved from the 
addressed listed on the August 3, 1995 Order. Set forth below are the 
current addresses for the company, which replace the address listed on 
the August 3, 1996 Order.
