Background
Appendices A and B to 31 CFR chapter V contain the names of blocked
persons, specially designated nationals, specially designated
terrorists, and specially designated narcotics traffickers designated
pursuant to the various economic sanctions programs administered by the
Office of Foreign Assets Control (``OFAC'') (62 FR 34934, June 27,
1997). Pursuant to Executive Order 12978 of October 21, 1995,
``Blocking Assets and Prohibiting Transactions with Significant
Narcotics Traffickers'' (the ``Order''), and the Narcotics Trafficking
Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 536, 7 additional Colombian entities
and 7 additional Colombian individuals are added to the appendices as
persons who have been determined to be owned or controlled by, or to
act for or on behalf of, persons designated in or pursuant to the Order
(collectively ``Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers'' or
``SDNTs''). Any property subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States in which an SDNT has an interest is blocked, and U.S. persons
are prohibited from engaging in any transaction or in dealing in any
property in which an SDNT has an interest.
The names of two individuals previously designated as SDNTs are
being removed because they no longer meet the applicable criteria for
designation. All real and personal property of these individuals,
including all accounts in which they have any interest, are unblocked;
and all transactions involving U.S. persons and these individuals are
permissible.
In addition, an address now listed for two ``Specially Designated
Nationals'' (``SDNs'') of Iraq is being removed from appendices A and
B.
Designations of foreign persons blocked pursuant to the Order are
[[Page 41851]]
effective upon the date of determination by the Director of the Office
of Foreign Assets Control, acting under authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Treasury. Public notice of blocking is effective upon
the date of filing with the Federal Register, or upon prior actual
notice.
Since the Regulations involve 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.

of (1) 3 U.S.C. 301; 50 U.S.C. 1601-1651 and 1701-1706; E.O. 12978, 60
