Background

The Iranian Transactions Regulations, 31 CFR part 560 (the “ITR”), implement a series of Executive orders that began with Executive Order 12613, which was issued on October 29, 1987, pursuant to authorities including the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985 (22 U.S.C. 2349aa-9). In that Order, after finding, inter alia, that the Government of Iran was actively supporting terrorism as an instrument of state policy, the President prohibited the importation of Iranian-origin goods and services. Subsequently, in Executive Order 12957, issued on March 15, 1995, under the authority of, inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) (“IEEPA”), the President declared a national emergency with respect to the actions and policies of the Government of Iran, including its support for international terrorism, its efforts to undermine the Middle East peace process, and its efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them. To deal with that threat, Executive Order 12957 imposed prohibitions on certain transactions with respect to the development of Iranian petroleum resources. On May 6, 1995, to further respond to this threat, the President issued Executive Order 12959, which imposed comprehensive trade and financial sanctions on Iran. Finally, on August 19, 1997, the President issued Executive Order 13059 consolidating and clarifying the previous orders.

The ITR implement these Executive orders and prohibit various transactions, including, among others, transactions with the Government of Iran, a term defined in section 560.304. That definition includes several categories, one of which is any entity owned or controlled by the Government of Iran, a phrase that is itself defined in section 560.313 of the ITR.

From its initial publication in 1999 until December 2008, Appendix A to Part 560 listed financial institutions that OFAC determined to be entities owned or controlled by the Government of Iran, within the meaning of sections 560.304 and 560.313 of the ITR. In a final rule amending the ITR published on December 4, 2008, OFAC expanded the scope of Appendix A to Part 560 to include all categories of entities determined to be owned or controlled by the Government of Iran, not just financial institutions (73 FR 73788, Dec. 4, 2008). That expansion of Appendix A to Part 560 was intended to better assist U.S. persons and others engaging in transactions subject to the ITR in complying with the ITR by allowing OFAC to give notice when it determined that any entity was owned or controlled by the Government of Iran.

To further assist compliance with the ITR by U.S. persons and others engaging in transactions subject to the ITR, OFAC today is expanding the scope of Appendix A to Part 560 to encompass all persons determined by OFAC to be the Government of Iran, i.e., to come within any of the categories comprising the definition of the term Government of Iran in section 560.304 of the ITR. That definition includes:

(a) The state and the Government of Iran, as well as any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof;

(b) Any entity owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the foregoing; and

(c) Any person to the extent that such person is, or has been, or to the extent that there is reasonable cause to believe that such person is, or has been, * * * acting or purporting to act directly or indirectly on behalf of any of the foregoing * * *.

This expansion in scope of Appendix A to Part 560 will better assist U.S. persons and others engaging in transactions subject to the ITR in complying with the ITR by identifying additional categories of persons that come within the term Government of Iran.

In addition, OFAC today is adding the following 22 persons to Appendix A to Part 560, having determined that they all come within the definition of Government of Iran in section 560.304 of the ITR: Bimeh Iran Insurance Company (U.K.) Limited, Iran Insurance Company, Intra Chem Trading GmbH, Iran Petrochemical Commercial Company, Iranian Oil Company (U.K.) Limited, Kala Limited, Kala Pension Trust Limited, MSP Kala Naft Co. Tehran, Naftiran Trading Services Co. (NTS) Limited, National Iranian Oil Company Pte Ltd, National Petrochemical Company, NICO Engineering Limited, NIOC International Affairs (London) Limited, NPC International Limited, P.C.C. (Singapore) Private Limited, Petrochemical Commercial Company International Limited, Petrochemical Commercial Company FZE, Petrochemical Commercial Company (U.K.) Limited, Petroiran Development Company (PEDCO) Limited, Petropars International FZE, Petropars Ltd, and Petropars UK Limited.

OFAC also is updating the current list of persons in Appendix A to Part 560. As a result, OFAC is removing the Iran Overseas Trading Company Limited (Subsidiary) from the appendix, because this entity has been dissolved and no longer exists, and is amending the listing for Naftiran Intertrade Co. (NICO) Limited to reflect current identifying information. In addition, OFAC is consolidating the listings for the Iran Overseas Investment Bank Limited (Representative Office), the Iran Overseas Investment Bank Limited (Agency), and the Iran Overseas Investment Corporation Limited under Bank Saderat PLC, and is consolidating the listings for Agricultural Cooperative Bank of Iran, Agricultural Development Bank of Iran, Bank Josiaiyi Keshahvarzi, and Bank Taavon Keshavarzi Iran under Bank Keshavarzi Iran. Finally, OFAC is reformatting and republishing in alphabetical order the entire list of persons in the expanded appendix A.

It is important to note that Appendix A to Part 560 is not a comprehensive list of persons falling within the definition of Government of Iran. Even if a person is not listed in Appendix A to Part 560, if the person satisfies the definition of the term Government of Iran in the ITR, U.S. persons and others engaging in transactions subject to the ITR are prohibited from engaging in transactions with that person, regardless of its location, to the same extent they are prohibited from engaging in transactions with the persons listed in Appendix A to Part 560. U.S. persons and others engaging in transactions subject to the ITR also are prohibited from engaging in most transactions with any person located in Iran, even if that person does not come within the definition of the term Government of Iran. Finally, a person listed in Appendix A to Part 560 also may be subject to other sanctions programs administered by OFAC, in which case that person's name would also appear in the list at Appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V. Such a person is identified in Appendix A to Part 560 by references (“tags”), located at the end of the person's listing, to the sanctions program(s) to which the person is subject (e.g., [IRAN] [NPWMD] or [IRAN] [SDGT]).

Public Participation

Because the amendment of the ITR involves a foreign affairs function, the provisions of Executive Order 12866 and 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.

Paperwork Reduction Act

The collections of information related to the ITR are contained in 31 CFR part 501 (the “Reporting, Procedures and Penalties Regulations”). Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), those collections of information have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 1505-0164. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a valid control number.

List of Subjects in 31 CFR Part 560

Appendix A To Part 560—Persons Determined To Be The Government Of Iran, As Defined In § 560.304 Of This Part

This non-exhaustive appendix lists persons determined by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) to be the Government of Iran, as defined in § 560.304 of this part. The persons listed below are considered to be the Government of Iran not only when they operate from the locations listed below, but also when they operate from any other location. The names and addresses are subject to change. This part 560 contains prohibitions against engaging in most transactions with persons that meet the definition of the Government of Iran, whether such persons are located or incorporated inside or outside of Iran. Moreover, regardless of whether a person is listed below, if the person comes within the definition of Government of Iran in § 560.304, the prohibitions on engaging in transactions with the person, wherever located worldwide, apply to the same extent they would apply if the person were listed in this appendix. Note that the prohibitions in this part 560 also apply to most transactions with persons located in Iran that are not the Government of Iran. Finally, a person listed in Appendix A to Part 560 also may be subject to other sanctions programs administered by OFAC, in which case that person's name would also appear in the list at Appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V. Such a person is identified in Appendix A to Part 560 by references (“tags”), located at the end of the person's listing, to the sanctions program(s) to which the person is subject (e.g., [IRAN] [NPWMD] or [IRAN] [SDGT]).

Notes to Appendix A to Part 560:

1. The alphabetical list below provides the following information concerning persons determined by OFAC to be the Government of Iran: the name (including known former or alternate names), address, [IRAN] tag, and, if applicable, the tag(s) denoting other sanctions program(s) under which the person also is blocked.

2. The abbreviations used in this appendix are “a.k.a.” (also known as) and “f.k.a.” (formerly known as).

3. The references to sanctions programs in 31 CFR chapter V include: [IRAN] (Iranian Transactions Regulations, part 560); [NPWMD] (Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferators Sanctions Regulations, part 544); and [SDGT] (Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, part 594).

4. The names of persons listed in Appendix A to Part 560 also are published on OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN” list), available on OFAC's Web site. New names of persons determined to be the Government of Iran and changes to existing listings will be published in the Federal Register as the names are added to the SDN list on OFAC's Web site. Appendix A to Part 560 will be republished annually.
