Including a Ban on U.S. Government Procurement

ACTION: Notice of determination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: A determination has been made that a number of foreign persons 
have engaged in activities that warrant the imposition of measures 
pursuant to the Iran, North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Act 
(INKSNA).

DATES: These measures are applicable November 20, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: On general issues: Pam Durham, Office 
of Missile, Biological, and Chemical Nonproliferation, Bureau of 
International Security and Nonproliferation, Department of State, 
Telephone (202) 647-4930. For U.S. Government procurement ban issues: 
Eric Moore, Office of the Procurement Executive, Department of State, 
Telephone: (703) 875-4079. Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The INKSNA provides for sanctions on foreign 
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 the DPRK since 
January 1, 2006, of goods, services, or technology controlled under 
multilateral control lists (Australia Group, Chemical Weapons 
Convention, Missile Technology Control Regime, 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: 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; items on U.S. national control 
lists for WMD/missile reasons that are not on multilateral lists; and 
other items with the potential of making such a material contribution 
when added through case-by-case decisions.
    On November 20, 2024, the U.S. Government applied the measures 
authorized in Section 3 of the Iran, North Korea, and Syria 
Nonproliferation Act (Pub. L. 109-353) against the following foreign 
persons identified in the report submitted pursuant to Section 2(a) of 
the Act:
    Bearings on Lipetsk LLC (Russian entity); and any successor, sub-
unit, or subsidiary thereof;
    Dandong Mason-Age Trade Co Ltd. (PRC entity); and any successor, 
sub-unit, or subsidiary thereof;
    Igor Aleksandrovich Michurin (Russian national); and any successor, 
sub-unit, or subsidiary thereof;
    Kim Sang-ch'o'l (Kim Sang Chang Chol) (DPRK national).
    Ri Su'ung-ch'o'l (Ri Sung Chol) (DPRK national).
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 3 of the Act, the following 
measures are imposed on these persons:
    1. No department or agency of the U.S. 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 determine;
    2. No department or agency of the U.S. government may provide any 
assistance to these foreign persons, and these persons shall not be 
eligible to participate in any assistance program of the U.S. 
government, except to the extent that the Secretary of State otherwise 
may determine;
    3. No U.S. government sales to these 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 Control Reform Act of 2018 or the Export Administration 
Regulations, and any existing such licenses are suspended.
    These measures shall be implemented by the responsible departments 
and agencies of the U.S. 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. These measures are 
independent of and in addition to any other sanctions imposed on such 
entities and/or individuals by other federal agencies under separate 
legal authorities.
