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
(``OFAC''). Pursuant to Executive Order 12978 of October 21, 1995,
``Blocking Assets and Prohibiting Transactions with Significant
Narcotics Traffickers'' (the ``Order'') and Section 536.312 of the
Narcotics Trafficking Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 536 (the
``Regulations''), the following 27 individuals and 3 entities are added
to appendix A as persons who have been determined to play a significant
role in international narcotics trafficking centered in Colombia, to
materially assist in or provide financial support or technological
support for, or goods or services in support of other specially
designated narcotics traffickers, or 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''). All real and personal property in which the SDNTs 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 SDNTs are prohibited unless
licensed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control or exempted by
statute.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control also is removing from appendix
A the entry for one individual because it has been determined that the
individual no longer meets the criteria for designation as a Specially
Designated National of Cuba under the Cuban Assets Control Regulations,
31 CFR part 515. All real and personal property of this individual,
including all accounts in which the individual has any interest, which
had been blocked solely due to the individual's designation as a
Specially Designated National of Cuba, are unblocked; and all lawful
transactions involving U.S. persons and this individual are
permissible.
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 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.
For the reasons set forth in the preamble, and under the authority
of 3 U.S.C. 301; 50 U.S.C. 1601-1651; 50 U.S.C. 1701-1706; E.O. 12978,
60 FR 54579, 3 CFR, 1995 Comp., p. 415, appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V
is amended as set forth below:
