HEXDI Integrates L3Harris Technologies Consent Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of a September 2019 Consent Agreement entered into by the Department of State and L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (“L3Harris”) [FN 1], the Department of State and L3Harris agreed to settle administrative proceedings for alleged violations of the Arms Export Control Act arising from activities by Harris Corp. prior to the recent merger between L3 Technologies Inc. and Harris Corp. 

As part of the Consent Agreement, L3Harris agreed to institute a variety of remedial measures and to pay a civil penalty of $13 million dollars, $6.5 million of which is suspended for the costs of remedial compliance measures.  It also agreed to perform external audits of its compliance program during the Agreement term and implement certain compliance measures.

HEXDI has integrated 12 additional government standards reflected in the remedial measures contained in the L3Harris Consent Agreement, which are now included in HEXDI modules 1 through 12.  Many of these standards appeared in previous Department of State Consent Agreements, which are already integrated in HEXDI.
