[Public Notice: 7741]


Imposition of Nonproliferation Measures Against Foreign Persons, 
Including a Ban on U.S. Government Procurement

AGENCY: Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, 
Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: A determination has been made that a number of foreign 
entities and one foreign person have engaged in activities that warrant 
the imposition of measures pursuant to Section 3 of the Iran, North 
Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Act. The Act provides for penalties 
on entities and individuals for the transfer to or acquisition from 
Iran since January 1, 1999, the transfer to or acquisition from Syria 
since January 1, 2005, or the transfer to or acquisition from North 
Korea since January 1, 2006, of goods, services, or technology 
controlled under multilateral 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: December 20, 2011.
