(50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), the Arms
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et
seq.), and Section 301 of title 3, United
States Code, and Executive Order 12938
of November 14, 1994, as amended, the
U.S. Government determined on August
17, 2015 that the following two North
Korean entities have engaged in
proliferation activities that warrant the
imposition of measures pursuant to
sections 4(b), 4(c), and 4(d) of Executive
Order 12938:
Hesong Trading Corporation (North
Korea)
Korea Mining and Development
Corporation (KOMID) (North Korea)
Accordingly, pursuant to the
provisions of Executive Order 12938,
the following measures are imposed on
these entities, and their subunits and
successors, for two years:
1. No departments or agencies of the
United States Government shall procure
or enter into any contract for the
procurement of any goods, technology,
or services from these entities including
the termination of existing contracts;
2. No departments or agencies of the
United States government shall provide
any assistance to these entities, and
shall not obligate further funds for such
purposes;
3. The Secretary of the Treasury shall
prohibit the importation into the United

These measures shall be implemented

In addition, pursuant to section
126.7(a)(1) of the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations, it is deemed that
suspending the above-named entities

Control Act would be in furtherance of
the national security and foreign policy
of the United States. Therefore, for two
years, the Department of State is hereby
suspending all licenses and other
approvals for: (a) Exports and other
transfers of defense articles and defense
services from the United States to the
above-named entities; (b) transfers of
U.S.-origin defense articles and defense
services from foreign destinations to the
above-named entities; and (c) temporary
import of defense articles to or from the

Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Exchange Alumni Virtual
Program provides a platform for former
participants of U.S. governmentsponsored exchange programs to extend
and multiply the impacts of their
exchanges by virtually engaging with
foreign alumni and students. The
program supports critical foreign policy
goals, such as enhancing English
learning and the promotion of American
culture and values abroad, particularly
in countries where views of American
culture may not always be positive. The
program also provides American alumni
with an opportunity to develop their
foreign language skills in critical
languages or other competencies gained
on their exchange programs, while
continuing to deepen their own cultural
awareness and global skills.
The information is sought pursuant to
the Mutual Educational and Cultural
Exchange Act of 1961, as amended (also
known as the Fulbright-Hays Act) (22
U.S.C. 2451 et seq.)
Respondents to this form are U.S.
government-sponsored exchange
program alumni. Alumni Affairs collects
data from program applicants in order to
determine eligibility and to choose the
best candidates for the program.
Methodology
Information will be collected
electronically, via the International
Exchange Alumni Web site,
alumni.state.gov.

The FHWA announces a
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
for a Pilot On-the-Job-Training
Supportive Services (OJT/SS) Program
through the Ladders of Opportunity
Initiative in the amount of $3 million.
The FHWA seeks to award discretionary
grants to State Departments of
Transportation (State DOTs), or to other
State agencies or local governments
applying through their State DOTs as
subrecipients, in award amounts of up
to $500,000 each. The FHWA may
choose to fund the program for more or
less than the announced amount,
including applying any future
appropriated funds toward the projects
proposed in response to this NOFA.
This NOFA solicits proposals that
promote innovative, nationally and
regionally significant, highway
construction workforce development
programs that invest in America’s
economic growth and build ladders of
opportunity into the middle class for
American workers. The term ‘‘highway
construction workforce’’ should be read
broadly to encompass the workforce
necessary to carry out activities eligible
for funding under FHWA’s Surface
Transportation Program (STP) at section
133(b) of title 23, United States Code
(U.S.C.). Applications should outline
areas of upcoming demand in the State’s
highway construction workforce and
ensure that proposed programs would
train workers in skills to fill specific
workforce shortages.

11:59 p.m., e.t. on December 23, 2015.

proposals electronically through http://
