DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 5483]


 Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation; 
Imposition of Nonproliferation Measures Against Foreign Entities, 
Including a Ban on U.S. Government Procurement

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: A determination has been made that seven entities have engaged 
in activities that require the imposition of measures pursuant to 
Section 3 of the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000, which provides for 
penalties on entities for the transfer to Iran since January 1, 1999, 
of equipment and technology controlled under multilateral export 
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) other items with the potential 
of making such a material contribution, when added through case-by-case 
decisions, and (c) items on U.S. national control lists for WMD/missile 
reasons that are not on multilateral lists.

DATES: Effective Date: July 28, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: On general issues: Pamela K. Durham, 
Office of Missile Threat Reduction, Bureau of International Security

Government procurement ban issues: Gladys Gines, Office of the 
Procurement Executive, Department of State (703-516-1691).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of the Iran 
Nonproliferation Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-178), the U.S. Government 
determined on July 25, 2006 that the measures authorized in Section 3 
of the Act shall apply to the following foreign entities identified in 
the report submitted pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Act:

subsidiary thereof;
    Rosoboronexport (Russia) and any successor, sub-unit, or subsidiary 
thereof; and
    Sukhoy (Russia) and any successor, sub-unit, or subsidiary thereof.
    Accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of the Act, the following 
measures are imposed on these entities:
    1. No department or agency of the United States Government may 
procure, or enter into any contract for the procurement of, any goods, 
technology, or services from these foreign persons;
    2. No department or agency of the United States Government may 
provide any assistance to the foreign persons, and these persons shall 
not be eligible to participate in any assistance program of the United 
States Government;
    3. No United States Government sales to the foreign persons of any 
item on the United States Munitions List (as in effect on August 8, 
1995) are permitted, and all sales to these persons of any defense 
articles, defense services, or design and construction services under 
the Arms Export Control Act are terminated; and
    4. No new individual licenses shall be granted for the transfer to 
these foreign persons of items the export of which is controlled under 
the Export Administration Act of 1979 or the Export Administration 
Regulations, and any existing such licenses are suspended.
    These measures shall be implemented by the responsible departments 
and agencies of the United States Government and will remain in place 
for two years from the effective date, except to the extent that the 
Secretary of State may subsequently determine otherwise. A new 
determination will be made in the event that circumstances change in 
such a manner as to warrant a change in the duration of sanctions.

    Dated: July 31, 2006.
