participation in, or cooperation with, an international boycott (within

    On the basis of the best information currently available to the

(within the meaning of section 999(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code 
of 1986): Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United 
Arab Emirates, and Republic of Yemen.

by the Department of the Treasury.
