pursuant to, inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers 
Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et. seq.). In E.O. 13448, the President took 
additional steps with respect to, and expanded, the national emergency 
declared in Executive Order 13047 of May 20, 1997, to address the 
Government of Burma's continued repression of the democratic opposition 
in Burma. The President identified twelve individuals and entities in

determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with 
the Secretary of State, to satisfy any of the criteria set forth in 
subparagraphs (b)(i)-(b)(vi) of Section 1.
    On February 5, 2008, the Director of OFAC, after consultation with 
the Department of State designated, pursuant to one or more of the 
criteria set forth in Section 1, subparagraphs (b)(i)-(b)(vi) of E.O. 
13448, the individual listed below, whose property and interests in 
property were blocked pursuant to the Order.
