Background

    Appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V contains the names of blocked 
persons, specially designated nationals, specially designated 
terrorists, foreign terrorist organizations, and specially designated 
narcotics traffickers designated pursuant to the various economic 
sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets 
Control. Pursuant to Executive Order 13098 of August 18, 1998, 
``Blocking Property of UNITA and Prohibiting Certain Transactions with 
respect to UNITA'' (E.O. 13098, 63 FR 44771, 3 CFR, 1998 Comp., p. 
206--the ``Order''), and the UNITA (Angola) Sanctions Regulations (31 
CFR part 590--the ``Regulations''), the following 10 individuals are 
added to appendix A as persons who have been determined to be senior 
officials of UNITA (hereinafter ``blocked persons''). All real and 
personal property in which the blocked persons have any interest, 
including but not limited to all accounts that are or come within the 
United States or that are or come within the possession or control of 
U.S. persons, including their overseas branches, are blocked. All 
transactions by U.S. persons or within the United States in property or 
interests in property of blocked persons are prohibited unless licensed 
by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
    Designations of foreign persons blocked pursuant to the Order are 
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.
    Because the Order and Regulations involve a foreign affairs 
function, Executive Order 12866 and the provisions of the 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), requiring

[[Page 34992]]

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.
    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, and under the authority 
of 3 U.S.C. 301; 22 U.S.C. 287c; 31 U.S.C. 321(b); 50 U.S.C. 1601-1651, 
1701-1706; Pub. L. 101-410, 104 Stat. 890 (28 U.S.C. 2461 note); E.O. 
12865, 58 FR 51005, 3 CFR, 1993 Comp., p.636; E.O. 13069, 62 FR 65989, 
3 CFR, 1997 Comp., p. 232; E.O. 13098, 63 FR 44771, 3 CFR, 1998 Comp., 
p. 206, appendix A to chapter V of 31 CFR is amended as set forth 
below:
