to the Arms Export Control Act, as amended, and the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended (as carried out under Executive
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,
Department of the Treasury (202-622-2480). On U.S. Government

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 73(a)(1) of the Arms
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2797b(a)(1)); section 11B(b)(1) of the
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
    (C) Prohibition on the importation into the U.S. of all products
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
and eight months 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 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.
