The Technical Intelligence Bureau, the 110th Research Center, Chinyong Information Technology Cooperation (also known as Jinryong IT Cooperation Company), and Kim Sang Man, a citizen of the DPRK who, according to the United States, resides in Russian Vladivostok, are all subject to sanctions. The latter is thought to have paid salaries to "family members of North Korean Chinyong overseas employees."

The U.S. Treasury Department also extended permissions of four American businesses to conduct business in Venezuela.
