SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK 
ON APPLICATION 050118916 
 
REF: 2006 BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK 
 
¶1. This is an Action Request.  See paragraphs 2-4. 
 
¶2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls 
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests post's assistance in conducting 
a pre-license check on application 050118916 for the export 
of a FLIR Thermal Imaging System to Ireland.  Post is 
requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 30 days. 
 Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending 
and future licenses involving parties to this license. 
 
¶3. Reason for request: unfamiliar foreign end user, IRT 
Consult Limited, which has not appeared on any previous 
PM/DTCC applications, and vague end-use statement. 
 
¶4. ACTION:  Department requests that Embassy make appropriate 
inquiries to verify the bona fides of foreign end-user IRT 
Consult Limited and to confirm the legitimacy of this 
proposed transaction.  PM/DTCC also requests that post 
conduct a site visit to the company in order to provide 
Department with an assessment of its business operations and 
on-site security.  Finally, post is asked to assess whether 
the company appears to be reliable recipient of USML items. 
If a site visit is not possible, please inform the PM/DTCC 
officer. 
 
The following questions are provided as suggested guidance 
for IRT Consult Limited: 
 
--Does the company have supporting documentation, including 
purchase orders, for this proposed transaction? 
 
--What is the exact end-use for this USML item?  Will IRT 
Consult retain positive control over the FLIR system at all 
times or will your company lease the system to your 
customers?  Who exactly are these customers and where are 
they located?  Are they all located in Ireland?  Will the 
FLIR system be taken outside of Ireland?  If so, where? 
 
--When was the company established and who are its 
principals? 
 
--What is the nature of its business -- what type of items 
does it handle, does it serve as a broker? 
 
--What type of organizations are among its typical customers 
and where are the customers located? 
 
--Does the company understand the restrictions on United 
States Munitions List (USML) items, especially the 
prohibition against unauthorized re-transfers and re-exports? 
 
END ACTION
