changes reflect this competitive

Procurement 

AGENCY: Bureau of International 

Security and Nonproliferation, 

Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: A determination has been 

made that a number of foreign persons 

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 goods, 

services, or 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) 

items on U.S. national control lists for 

WMD/missile reasons that are not on 

multilateral lists, and (c) other items 

with the potential of making such a 

material contribution when added 

through case-by-case decisions.
