Background

    On September 23, 2001, President Bush issued Executive Order 13224 
(the ``Order'') imposing economic sanctions on persons who commit, 
threaten to commit, or support certain acts of terrorism. In an annex 
to the Order, President Bush identified 12 individuals and 15 entities 
whose assets are blocked pursuant to the Order (66 FR 49079, September 
25, 2001). Additional persons have been blocked pursuant to authorities 
set forth in the Order since that date and notice of such published in 
the Federal Register. One such additional person, Mr. Liban Hussein, 
was designated by the Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with 
the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, acting pursuant to 
authorities set forth in the Order, on November 7, 2001 (67 FR 12644, 
March 19, 2002). The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has 
determined that Mr. Hussein no longer continues to meet the standards 
for designation under E.O. 13224 and is appropriate for removal from 
the list of persons designated under Executive Order 13224.
    The removal of Mr. Hussein's name from the list of those persons 
designated pursuant to Executive Order 13224 is effective as of July 
15, 2002. All property and interests in property of Mr. Hussein, 
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 
United States persons, including their overseas branches, are now 
unblocked.
    The following designation is removed from the list of persons 
designated pursuant to Executive Order 13224:

INDIVIDUAL (1):

    HUSSEIN, Liban, 2019 Bank St., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; 925 
Washington St., Dorchester, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

    Dated: July 16, 2002.
R. Richard Newcomb,
Director, Office of Foreign Assets Control.
    Approved: August 13, 2002.
Kenneth Lawson,
Assistant Secretary (Enforcement), Department of the Treasury.
