prohibit exports and reexports of items subject to the EAR to defined 
nuclear, missile, chemical and biological activities and nuclear 
maritime end-uses. Section 744.6 prohibits certain activities by U.S. 
persons in support of certain nuclear, missile, chemical, or biological 
end-uses regardless of whether that support involves the export or 
reexport of items subject to the EAR. Sections 744.7 and 744.8 prohibit 
exports and reexports of certain items for certain aircraft and vessels. 
Section 744.9 prohibits U.S. persons from providing technical assistance

transfers of items subject to the EAR to denied parties.
