Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (as carried out under 
Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001).

DATES: Effective Date: February 2, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Durham, Office of Missile Threat 
Reduction, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, 
Department of State (202-647-4931). On import ban issues, Rochelle

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Section 73(a)(1) of the Arms

Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. app. 2410b(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 January 
15, 2009 that the following foreign entities had engaged in missile 
technology proliferation activities that require the imposition of 
missile sanctions described in Section 73 of the AECA (22 U.S.C. 2797b) 
and Section 11B of the EAA (50 U.S.C. Appx 24710b) on these entities:

--Mokong Trading Corporation (North Korea) and its sub-units and 
successors
--Sino-Ki (North Korea) and its sub-units and successors

    (B) Denial of all U.S. Government contracts relating to MTCR Annex 
items with the sanctioned entities; and
    (C) Prohibition on the importation into the U.S. of all products 
produced by the sanctioned entities.
    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 two years 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) Denial of all new individual export licenses for the transfer 
to the government activities described above of MTCR Annex items 
controlled pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act;
    (B) Denial of all U.S. Government contracts relating to MTCR Annex 
items 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: January 21, 2009.
