Order 13222 of August 17, 2001).

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 25, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vann H. Van Diepen, Office of 
Chemical, Biological and Missile Nonproliferation, Bureau of 
Nonproliferation, Department of State (202-647-1142). On import ban 
issues, Licensing Division, Office of Foreign Assets Control,

Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. app. 2410(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 July 
17, 2003 that the following foreign person has 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 this person: Changgwang 
Sinyong Corporation (North Korea) and its sub-units and successors.
    Accordingly, the following sanctions are being imposed on this 
person for three years and eight months:
    (A) Denial of all new individual licenses for the transfer to the 
sanctioned entity of all items on the U.S. Munitions List and all items 
the export of which is controlled under the Export Administration Act; 
and,
    (B) Denial of all U.S. Government contracts with the sanctioned 
entity; and

produced by the sanctioned entity.
    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 three years

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

    Dated: July 21, 2003.
