The June 3rd Executive Order (E.O.) issued by President Biden essentially replaces E.O. 13959, as amended by E.O. 13974. The Defense Department no longer makes its own designations, although Treasury can consult it (it has to consult State). The new E.O. no longer relies on the definition of “Communist Chinese Military companies” as defined in a number of National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAAs), but allows the designation of firms which operate in the defense, security and surveillance technology sectors of the Chinese economy (the surveillance part is brand-new).
The NS-CCMC List is now replaced by a NS-CMIC (Chinese Military Industrial Complex Companies) List (I know, shouldn’t it be CMICC?).
And the following firms have been placed on the new list:

So, what’s the upshot of all this? To my mind, it’s two things. Number one, there is no longer any confusion about the deadlines – other than this initial tranche (which still may follow the rule – I honestly haven’t checked), positions in the public securities issued by, derivative of, and those providing investment exposure to entities listed by Treasury become prohibited 60 days after listing (calendar days).
So, you can’t buy more stock, bonds, or options, or buy any exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or mutual funds which contain any of those – or increase the size of a short position in any of these.
And after a total of 365 days, one can have no position in any of these – the 305 days between the 2 deadlines have to be used to liquidate any and all investment exposure.
So, there is no longer a set of deadlines based on the Department of Defense listing of the company names – and a separate set for whatever Treasury added to its list (e.g. the AKAs, the issuer names, the ISINs).
So, we have a bunch of new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
898. What is the effect of Executive Order (E.O.) of June 3, 2021, “Addressing the Threat from Securities Investments that Finance Certain Companies of the People’s Republic of China”?Answer
E.O. of June 3, 2021 amends E.O. 13959 by replacing Sections 1 through 5 of E.O. 13959, as amended, and revokes E.O. 13974. In particular, E.O. of June 3, 2021 amends E.O. 13959 to prohibit the purchase or sale by U.S. persons of any publicly traded securities, or any publicly traded securities that are derivative of such securities or are designed to provide investment exposure to such securities, of any person listed in the Annex to E.O. 13959, as amended by E.O. of June 3, 2021, or of any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, and, as appropriate, the Secretary of Defense:
- (i) to operate or have operated in the defense and related materiel sector or the surveillance technology sector of the economy of the People’s Republic of China; or
- (ii) to own or control, or to be owned or controlled by, directly or indirectly, a person who operates or has operated in any sector described in clause (i) above, or a person who is listed in the Annex to E.O. 13959, as amended by E.O. of June 3, 2021, or who has otherwise been determined to be subject to the prohibitions in Section 1(a) of E.O. 13959, as amended by E.O. of June 3, 2021.
To implement E.O. of June 3, 2021, OFAC has published a list on its website containing the names of entities identified in or pursuant to E.O. 13959, as amended by E.O. of June 3, 2021, titled the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List (the “NS-CMIC List”). In addition, OFAC is removing and replacing all previously issued Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) related to E.O. 13959, as amended. OFAC will refer to E.O. 13959 as amended by E.O. of June 3, 2021 as “E.O. 13959, as amended.”
899. What entities are subject to Executive Order (E.O.) 13959, as amended, and when do the prohibitions against such entities go into effect? Answer
OFAC has published a list on its website containing the names of entities that are subject to the prohibitions of E.O. 13959, as amended, as the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List (the “NS-CMIC List”), along with additional identifying information where possible. Effective June 3, 2021, the NS-CMIC List replaced and superseded in its entirety the Non-SDN Communist Chinese Military Companies List (NS-CCMC List), which has been deleted from OFAC’s website. Only entities whose names exactly match the names of the entities on the NS-CMIC List are subject to the prohibitions in E.O. 13959, as amended. OFAC will refer to entities listed on the NS-CMIC List as “Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies” or “CMICs.”
For any entity listed in the Annex to E.O. 13959, as amended, the prohibitions go into effect beginning at 12:01 a.m. eastern time on August 2, 2021. For any entity not listed in the Annex to E.O. 13959, as amended, the prohibitions go into effect beginning at 12:01 a.m. eastern time on the date that is 60 days after the date the entity is listed on the NS-CMIC List.
Purchases or sales of publicly traded securities of CMICs listed in or pursuant to E.O. 13959, as amended, made solely to divest, in whole or in part, such securities by a U.S. person are permitted until 12:01 a.m. eastern time on the date that is 365 days after the date the entity is listed in the Annex to E.O. 13959, as amended, or added to the NS-CMIC List.
900. Executive Order (E.O.) 13959, as amended, authorizes the imposition of certain sanctions on persons who operate or have operated in the surveillance technology sector of the economy of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). For the purposes of E.O. 13959, as amended, how will OFAC target those who operate or have operated in this sector? Answer
Pursuant to E.O. 13959, as amended, OFAC expects to use its discretion to target, in particular, persons whose operations include or support, or have included or supported, (1) surveillance of persons by Chinese technology companies that occurs outside of the PRC; or (2) the development, marketing, sale, or export of Chinese surveillance technology that is, was, or can be used for surveillance of religious or ethnic minorities or to otherwise facilitate repression or serious human rights abuse.
901. Under Executive Order (E.O.) 13959, as amended, what level of due diligence must U.S. persons, including market intermediaries and other participants, undertake to assess whether an underlying purchase or sale is prohibited under E.O. 13959, as amended? Answer
For purposes of assessing whether certain purchases or sales are permissible under E.O. 13959, as amended, U.S. persons — including financial institutions, registered broker-dealers in securities, securities exchanges, and other market intermediaries and participants — may rely upon the information available to them in the ordinary course of business.
902. Under Executive Order (E.O.) 13959, as amended, are U.S. persons prohibited from providing investment advisory, investment management, or similar services to a non-U.S. person, including a foreign entity or foreign fund, in connection with the non-U.S. person’s purchase or sale of covered securities of Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies (CMICs)? Answer
U.S. persons are not prohibited from providing investment advisory, investment management, or similar services to a non-U.S. person, including a foreign entity or foreign fund, in connection with the non-U.S. person’s purchase or sale of a covered security, provided that the underlying purchase or sale would not otherwise violate E.O. 13959, as amended. For example, a U.S. individual acting as the fund manager for a non-U.S. investment fund, or a U.S. entity that is the investment adviser or investment manager for a non-U.S. investment fund, is not prohibited from advising on, authorizing, directing, or approving purchases or sales of covered securities by the non-U.S. investment fund, provided that the underlying purchase or sale would not otherwise violate E.O. 13959, as amended (e.g., neither the purchase nor sale of the covered security is for the ultimate benefit of a U.S. person, the purchase or sale is not a willful attempt to evade the prohibitions of E.O. 13959, as amended, etc.). See FAQ 901 with respect to the due diligence expectations associated with determining whether a particular purchase or sale is permissible.
903.

857. Do the prohibitions in Executive Order (E.O.) 13959, as amended, apply to purchases or sales of publicly traded securities of subsidiaries of entities listed on the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List (the “NS-CMIC List”) Answer
