A determination has been made that a foreign person has 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 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 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.

Including a Ban on U.S. Government Procurement

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: A determination has been made that a foreign person has 
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 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

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.
