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. 2401b(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 August 16, 2002 that the following foreign person has engaged in
missile technology proliferation activities that require the
imposition of the sanctions described in section 73(a)(2)(A) of the
Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2797b(a)(2)(A) and section
11B(b)(1)(B)(i) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C.
app. 2410b(b)(1)(B)(i) on this person: Changgwang Sinyong Corporation
(North Korea) and its sub-units and successors. Accordingly, the
following sanctions are being imposed on this person: (A) New
individual licenses for exports to the person described above of MTCR
Annex-controlled equipment or technology controlled pursuant to the
Export Administration Act of 1979 will be denied for two years;
(B) New licenses for export to the person described above of MTCR
Annex-controlled equipment or technology controlled pursuant to the

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 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)
New individual licenses for export to the government activities
described above of MTCR Annex-controlled equipment or technology
controlled pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act will be denied for
two years; and (B) No new U.S. Government contracts relating to MTCR
Annex-controlled equipment or technology involving the government
activities described above will be entered into for two years. 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: August 20, 2002.
