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

SUMMARY: A determination has been made that North Korean entities have 
engaged in activities that require the imposition of measures pursuant 
to the Arms Export Control Act, as amended, and the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, as amended (as carried out under Executive 
Order 13222 of August 17, 2001).

DATES: Effective date: September 24, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Durham, Office of Missile, 
Biological, and Chemical Nonproliferation, Bureau of International 
Security and Nonproliferation, Department of State (202-647-4930). On 
import ban issues, Susan Demske, Assistant Director for Regulatory 
Affairs, Department of the Treasury (202-622-4855). On U.S. Government 
procurement ban issues, Eric Moore, Office of the Procurement 
Executive, Department of State (703-875-4079).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Section 73(a)(1) of the Arms 
Export Control Act [22 U.S.C. 2797b(a)(1)]; Section 11B(b)(1) of the 
Export Administration Act of 1979 [50 U.S.C. app. 2410b(b)(1)], as 
carried out under Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (hereinafter 
cited as the ``Export Administration Act of 1979''); and Executive 
Order 12851 of June 11, 1993, the U.S. Government determined on 
September 11, 2015 that the following foreign persons have engaged in 
missile technology proliferation activities that require the imposition 
of the sanctions described in Sections 73(a)(2)(B) and (C) of the Arms 
Export Control Act [22 U.S.C. 2797b(a)(2)(B) and (C)] and Sections 
11B(b)(1)(B)(ii) and (iii) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 [50 
U.S.C. app. 2410b(b)(1)(B)(ii) and (iii)] on these entities:
    Korea Mining and Development Corporation (KOMID) (North Korea) and 
its sub-units and successors.
    Hesong Trading Corporation (North Korea) and its sub-units and 
successors.
    Accordingly, the following sanctions are being imposed on these 
entities for two years:
    (A) Denial of all new individual licenses for the transfer to the 
sanctioned entities of all items on the U.S. Munitions List and all 
items the export of which is controlled under the Export Administration 
Act;
    (B) Denial of all U.S. Government contracts with the sanctioned 
entities; and
    (C) Prohibition on the importation into the U.S. of all products 
produced by the sanctioned entities.
    With respect to items controlled pursuant to the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, the above export sanction only applies to 
exports made pursuant to individual export licenses.
    Additionally, because North Korea is a country with a non-market 
economy that is not a former member of the Warsaw Pact (as referenced 
in the definition of ``person'' in section 74(8)(B) of the Arms Export 
Control Act), the following sanctions shall be applied for two years to 
all activities of the North Korean government relating to the 
development or production of missile equipment or technology and all 
activities of the North Korean government affecting the development or 
production of electronics, space

    (A) Denial of all new individual licenses for the transfer to the 
government activities described above of all items on the U.S. 
Munitions List;
    (B) Denial of all U.S. Government contracts with the government 
activities described above; and

produced by the government activities described above.
    These measures shall be implemented by the responsible departments 
and agencies of the United States Government as provided in Executive 
Order 12851 of June 11, 1993.
