Background
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (``FAC'') is amending the
Iraqi Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 575 (the ``Regulations''), to
add new entries to appendices A and B. Appendix A, Individuals and
Organizations Determined to Be Specially Designated Nationals of the
Government of Iraq, is a list of individuals and organizations
determined by the Director of FAC to be within the definition of the
term ``Government of Iraq,'' as set forth in Sec. 575.306 of the
Regulations, because they are owned or controlled by or act or purport
to act directly or indirectly on behalf of the Government of Iraq.
Appendix B, Merchant Vessels Registered, Owned, or Controlled by the
Government of Iraq or by Persons Acting Directly or Indirectly on
Behalf of the Government of Iraq, is a list of vessels determined by
the Director of FAC to be property of the Government of Iraq.
Appendix A to part 575 is amended to provide public notice of the
designation of 4 banks and 30 individuals as Specially Designated
Nationals. In addition, supplementary information is being provided for
6 previously listed Specially Designated Nationals by including
additional addresses and aliases. The amendment adds to appendix A 14
entities and 11 individuals identified as SDNs of Iraq in the
comprehensive SDN list published in the Federal Register on November
17, 1994, 59 FR 59460. Finally, the amendment adds to appendix B
revised information published in the comprehensive SDN list for 1
previously listed vessel.
All prohibitions in the Regulations pertaining to the Government of
Iraq apply to the entities and individuals identified in appendices A
and B. All transactions with such entities or persons, or transactions
in property in which they have an interest, are prohibited unless
otherwise exempted or licensed in or pursuant to the Regulations.
Determinations that persons fall within the definition of the term
``Government of Iraq'' and are thus Specially Designated Nationals of
Iraq are effective upon the date of determination by the Director of
FAC, acting under the authority delegated by the Secretary of the
Treasury. Public notice is effective upon the date of publication or
upon actual notice, whichever is sooner.
The list of Specially Designated Nationals in appendices A and B is
a partial one, since FAC may not be aware of all agencies and officers
of the Government of Iraq, or of all persons that might be owned or
controlled by, or acting on behalf of the Government of Iraq within the
meaning of Sec. 575.306. Therefore, one may not rely on the fact that a
person or entity is not listed in appendix A or B as a Specially
Designated National as evidence that such person or entity is not owned
or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act directly or indirectly
on behalf of, the Government of Iraq. The Treasury Department regards
it as incumbent upon all persons governed by the Regulations to take
reasonable steps to ascertain for themselves whether persons with whom
they deal are owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act on
behalf of, the Government of Iraq, or on behalf of other countries
subject to blocking or transactional restrictions administered by FAC.
Section 206 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50
U.S.C. 1705, provides for civil penalties not to exceed $10,000 for
each violation of the Regulations. Criminal violations of the
Regulations are punishable by fines of up to $250,000 or imprisonment
for up to 10 years per count, or both, for individuals and criminal
fines of up to $500,000 per count for organizations. See 50 U.S.C.
1705; 18 U.S.C. 3571. In addition, section 586E of the Iraq Sanctions
Act of 1990, Public Law 101-513, provides for civil penalties not to
exceed $250,000 and criminal fines of up to $1,000,000 or imprisonment
for up to 12 years, or both.
Because the Regulations involve a foreign affairs function,
Executive Order 12866 and the provisions of the Administrative
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553, requiring notice of proposed rulemaking,
opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date, are
inapplicable. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for
this rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, does not
apply.
