Background

    On October 27, 2006, the President signed Executive Order 13413 
(the ``Order'' or ``E.O. 13413'') pursuant to, inter alia, the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) 
(IEEPA) and section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act, as 
amended (22 U.S.C. 287c) (UNPA). In the Order, the President found that 
the situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic of the Congo 
constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy 
of the United States and imposed sanctions, and authorized additional 
sanctions, to address that threat.
    Section 1 of the Order blocks, with certain exceptions, all 
property and interests in property that are in, or thereafter come 
within, the United States, or within the possession or control of 
United States persons, of the persons identified by the President in 
the Annex to the Order, as well as those persons determined by the 
Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of 
State, to meet any of the criteria set forth in subparagraphs 
(a)(ii)(A)-(a)(ii)(G) of Section 1 of the Order.
    On December 18, 2012, the Director of OFAC exercised the Secretary 
of the Treasury's authority to designate, pursuant to one or more of 
the criteria set forth in Section 1 of the Order, the two individuals 
listed below, whose property and interests in property therefore are 
blocked pursuant to E.O. 13413.
    The listing of the blocked individuals appears as follows:
    1. KAINA, Innocent (a.k.a. KAYNA, Innocent); DOB 1978; POB 
Bunagana, Rutshuru territory, Democratic Republic of the Congo; Colonel 
(individual) [DRCONGO]
    2. NGARUYE, Baudoin (a.k.a. NGARUYE MPUMURO, Baudouin; a.k.a.
