Sanctions Against Foreign Entities, 

Including a Ban on U.S. Government 

Procurement 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: A determination has been 

made that a number of foreign entities 

and one foreign person have engaged in 

activities that warrant the imposition of 

measures pursuant to Section 3 of the 

Iran, North Korea, and Syria 

Nonproliferation Act. The Act provides 

for penalties on entities and individuals 

for the transfer to or acquisition from 

Iran since January 1, 1999, the transfer 

to or acquisition from Syria since 

January 1, 2005, or the transfer to or 

acquisition from North Korea since 

January 1, 2006, of equipment and 

technology controlled under 

multilateral control lists (Missile 

Technology Control Regime, Australia 

Group, Chemical Weapons Convention, 

Nuclear Suppliers Group, Wassenaar 

Arrangement) or otherwise having the 

potential to make a material 

contribution to the development of 

weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or 

cruise or ballistic missile systems. The 

latter category includes (a) items of the 

same kind as those on multilateral lists 

but falling below the control list 

parameters, when it is determined that 

such items have the potential of making 

a material contribution to WMD or 

cruise or ballistic missile systems, (b) 

other items with the potential of making 

such a material contribution, when 

added through case-by-case decisions, 

and (c) items on U.S. national control 

lists for WMD/missile reasons that are 

not on multilateral lists.

a change in the duration of sanctions.
