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 January 
4, 2018 that the following foreign persons have engaged in missile

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
