When a U.S. agent applies for an export license for an FPPI, how should the name appear on the application?

The correct approach when a U.S. agent applies for an export license on behalf of a Foreign Principal Party in Interest (FPPI) is to include the U.S. agent's name explicitly identified as the agent of the FPPI. This ensures that both parties are correctly represented in the application process.

Including the U.S. agent's name along with the designation as the agent of the FPPI clarifies the relationship between the two entities. It indicates to the licensing authorities that the U.S. agent is acting on behalf of the FPPI, which is important for compliance and traceability purposes. This designation also helps prevent any potential misunderstandings regarding accountability and compliance with export regulations.

The other options could lead to confusion or lack of clarity about who is responsible for the shipment and representation in the export process. For instance, listing only the U.S. agent's name would obscure the fact that they are acting on behalf of another entity, while simply listing the FPPI's name does not acknowledge the role of the U.S. agent involved in the transaction. Similarly, mentioning just the FPPI's agent without proper context could result in ambiguity regarding who is filing the application.
