DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 7087]

 
Bureau of Verification, Compliance, and Implementation; 
Imposition of 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.

DATES: Effective Date: July 14, 2010.

Government determined on June 30, 2010, that the measures authorized in

    Accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of the Act, the following 
measures are imposed on these entities:
    1. No department or agency of the United States Government may 
procure, or enter into any contract for the procurement of any goods, 
technology, or services from these foreign persons, except to the 
extent that the Secretary of State otherwise may have determined;
    2. No department or agency of the United States Government may 
provide any assistance to the foreign persons, and these persons shall 
not be eligible to participate in any assistance program of the United 
States Government, except to the extent that the Secretary of State

    3. No United States Government sales to the foreign persons of any 
item on the United States Munitions List are permitted, and all sales 
to these persons of any defense articles, defense services, or design 
and construction services under the Arms Export Control Act are 
terminated; and
    4. No new individual licenses shall be granted for the transfer to 
these foreign persons of items the export of which is controlled under 
the Export Administration Act of 1979 of the Export Administration 
Regulations, and any existing such licenses are suspended.
    These measures shall be implemented by the responsible departments 
and agencies of the United States Government and will remain in place 
for two years from the effective date, except to the extent that the 
Secretary of State may subsequently determine otherwise. A new 
determination will be made in the event that circumstances change in 
such a manner as to warrant a change in the duration of sanctions.
