Korean Entity

AGENCY: Bureau of Nonproliferation, Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: A determination has been made that a North Korean entity has 
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).

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 16, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pamela K. Roe, Office of Chemical, 
Biological and Missile Nonproliferation, Bureau of Nonproliferation, 
Department of State (202-647-4931).

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. 2401b(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 August 
16, 2002 that the following foreign person has engaged in missile 
technology proliferation activities that require the imposition of the 
sanctions described in section 73(a)(2)(A) of the Arms Export Control 
Act (22 U.S.C. 2797b(a)(2)(A) and section 11B(b)(1)(B)(i) of the Export 
Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. app. 2410b(b)(1)(B)(i) on this 
person: Changgwang Sinyong Corporation (North Korea) and its sub-units 
and successors.
    Accordingly, the following sanctions are being imposed on this 
person:
    (A) New individual licenses for exports to the person described 
above of MTCR Annex-controlled equipment or technology controlled 
pursuant to the Export Administration Act of 1979 will be denied for

    (B) New licenses for export to the person described above of MTCR 
Annex-controlled equipment or technology controlled pursuant to the 
Arms Export Control Act will be denied for two years; and
    (C) No new United States Government contracts relating to MTCR 
Annex-controlled equipment or technology involving the person described 
above will be entered into for two years.
    With respect to items controlled pursuant to the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, the export sanctions only apply 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 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 systems or equipment, and military aircraft:
    (A) New individual licenses for export to the government activities 
described above of MTCR Annex-controlled equipment or technology 
controlled pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act will be denied for 
two years; and
    (B) No new U.S. Government contracts relating to MTCR Annex-
controlled equipment or technology involving the government activities 
described above will be entered into for two years.
    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.

    Dated: August 20, 2002.
Susan F. Burk,
Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Nonproliferation, Department of 
State.
