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 equipment and 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.
