Background

On September 26, 1993, in view of United Nations Security Council

Resolution No. 864 of September 15, 1993, President Clinton issued E.O.

12865, 58 FR 51005, 3 CFR, 1993 Comp., p.636, declaring a national

emergency with respect to UNITA's actions in Angola and placing

sanctions on UNITA. Executive Order 12865 prohibits the sale or supply

by United States persons, or from the United States or using U.S.-

registered vessels or aircraft, of arms, arms-related materiel of all

types, petroleum, and petroleum products, regardless of their origin,

to the territory of Angola, other than through designated points of

entry, or to UNITA. Executive Order 12865 also prohibits any activity

by U.S. persons or in the United States that promotes or is calculated

to promote such prohibited sale or supply. On December 10, 1993, the

Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury

(``OFAC'') implemented Executive Order 12865 by promulgating the UNITA

(Angola) Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR Part 590 (the ``Regulations'').

On December 12, 1997, President Clinton issued Executive Order

13069, 62 FR 65989, 3 CFR, 1997 Comp., p.232, placing additional

sanctions on UNITA, taking into account the provisions of United

Nations Security Council Resolutions 1127 of August 28, 1997, and 1130

of September 29, 1997. Effective 12:01 a.m. EST on December 15, 1997,

Executive Order 13069 closes all UNITA offices in the United States and

prohibits various aircraft-related transactions. Specifically, section

2(a) of Executive Order 13069 prohibits the sale, supply, or making

available in any form by United States persons, or from the United

States or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of aircraft or

aircraft components, regardless of their origin, to the territory of

Angola, other than through designated points of entry, or to UNITA.

Section 2(b) prohibits the insurance, engineering, or servicing of

UNITA aircraft by United States persons or from the United States.

Section 2(c) prohibits the granting of takeoff, landing, or overflight

permission to any aircraft on flights or continuations of flights to or

from the territory of Angola other than to or from designated places in

Angola. Section 2(d) prohibits the provision of engineering and

maintenance servicing, the certification of airworthiness, the payment

of new insurance claims against existing insurance contracts, and the

provision, renewal, or making available of direct insurance by a United

States person or from the United States with respect to any aircraft

registered in Angola, except designated aircraft, and with respect to

any aircraft that have entered the territory of Angola other than

through designated points of entry.

On August 18, 1998, President Clinton issued Executive Order 13098,

63 FR 44771, 3 CFR, 1998 Comp., p.206, placing further sanctions on

UNITA, taking into account the provisions of United Nations Security

Council Resolutions 1173 of June 12, 1998, and 1176 of June 24, 1998.

These additional sanctions went into effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT on August

19, 1998. Section 1 of Executive Order 13098 blocks all property and

interests in property of UNITA, designated senior UNITA officials, and

designated adult members of their immediate families if the property or

property interests are in the United States, hereafter come within the

United States, or are or hereafter come within the possession or

control of United States persons. Section 2 prohibits the importation

into the United States of all diamonds exported from Angola that are

not controlled through the Certificate of Origin regime of the Angolan

Government of Unity and National Reconciliation (the ``GURN''). Section

2 also prohibits the

[[Page 43925]]

sale or supply by United States persons, or from the United States or

using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of equipment used in mining

and of motorized vehicles, watercraft, or spare parts for motorized

vehicles or watercraft, regardless of their origin, to the territory of

Angola other than through designated points of entry. Finally, section

2 prohibits the sale or supply by U.S. persons, or from the United

States or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of mining services

or ground or waterborne transportation services, regardless of their

origin, to persons in designated areas of Angola to which the GURN's

State administration has not been extended.

Accordingly, to implement Executive Orders 13069 and 13098, and to

make technical and conforming changes, OFAC is amending the

Regulations. Since the amendments are extensive, part 590 is being

reissued in its entirety.

New prohibitions are added to the Regulations to reflect the new

sanctions imposed in Executive Orders 13069 and 13098, and certain

existing prohibitions are renumbered. The text of existing Sec. 590.202

has been replaced by new language implementing section 1 of Executive

Order 13069, requiring the closure of all UNITA offices located in the

United States. The text of existing Sec. 590.203 has been moved to new

Sec. 590.211 and replaced by new language implementing the aircraft-

related prohibitions contained in section 2 of Executive Order 13069

that are within the Treasury Department's jurisdiction. Thus,

Sec. 590.203 now prohibits the sale, supply, or making available in any

form by United States persons, or from the United States or using U.S.-

registered vessels or aircraft, of aircraft or aircraft components,

regardless of origin, to the territory of Angola, other than through a

point of entry designated in new appendix B to part 590, or to UNITA.

Section 590.203 also prohibits the insuring, engineering, or servicing

by United States persons or from the United States of any aircraft

owned or controlled by UNITA. Finally, Sec. 590.203 prohibits the

provision or making available of engineering and maintenance servicing,

the payment of new claims against insurance contracts in existence as

of December 15, 1997, and the provision, renewal, or making available

of direct insurance by United States persons or from the United States

after December 14, 1997, with respect to aircraft registered in Angola,

other than aircraft designated in new appendix C to part 590, or with

respect to any aircraft that have entered the territory of Angola other

than through a point of entry designated in new appendix B to part 590.

(Provisions in section 2 of Executive Order 13069 relating to the

granting of takeoff, landing, and overflight permission to certain

aircraft and the certification of airworthiness for certain aircraft

are not addressed by this final rule, but instead are implemented by

the Department of Transportation.)

Section 590.204 of the Regulations, implementing section 2(b) of

Executive Order 13098, prohibits the sale or supply by United States

persons, or from the United States or using U.S.-registered vessels or

aircraft, of equipment used in mining, regardless of origin, to the

territory of Angola other than through a point of entry designated in

new appendix B to part 590. Section 590.205 of the Regulations,

implementing section 2(c) of Executive Order 13098, imposes the same

prohibition with respect to motorized vehicles, watercraft, and spare

parts for motorized vehicles or watercraft. Section 590.206 of the

Regulations, implementing section 2(d) of Executive Order 13098,

prohibits the sale or supply by United States persons, or from the

United States or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of mining

services or ground or waterborne transportation services, regardless of

origin, to persons in areas of Angola to which the GURN's State

administration has not been extended, as designated in new appendix D

to part 590.

Section 590.207 of the Regulations, implementing section 1 of

Executive Order 13098, blocks all property and interests in property

that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United

States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control

of U.S. persons, including their overseas branches, of UNITA and those

senior UNITA officials or adult members of their immediate families

designated by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary's

delegate. As defined in Sec. 590.314 of the Regulations, UNITA includes

all persons owned or controlled by or acting for or on behalf of UNITA.

Section 590.209 and 590.210 of the Regulations detail the effect of

transfers of blocked property in violation of the Regulations and the

required holding of blocked property in interest-bearing accounts.

Section 590.208 of the Regulations, implementing section 2(a) of

Executive Order 13098, prohibits the direct or indirect importation

into the United States of all diamonds exported from Angola after

August 18, 1998, unless those diamonds are controlled through the

Certificate of Origin regime of the GURN.

Various new definitions are added to the Regulations, several

existing definitions are revised, and all of the definitions are placed

in alphabetical order and renumbered accordingly. Due to the

substantial increase in regulated commodities that are not normally

controlled for export as dual-use items, OFAC has decided to

discontinue use of the Commerce Control List as the primary reference

for defining the broad categories of commodities now regulated by the

Regulations and to reference instead the relevant chapters, headings,

and subheadings of Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(``HTS''). Thus, the term ``aircraft or aircraft components'' is

defined in Sec. 590.301 of the Regulations by reference to the relevant

chapter of the HTS. Similarly, the terms ``diamonds,'' ``equipment used

in mining,'' and ``motorized vehicles, watercraft, or spare parts for

motorized vehicles or watercraft'' are defined in Secs. 590.305,

590.308, and 590.313 respectively by reference to the relevant HTS

subheadings. For consistency, the existing definitions for ``arms and

related materiel'' and ``petroleum and petroleum products,'' now

located at Secs. 590.302 and 590.316 respectively, have been modified

by replacing the references to the Commerce Control List with

references to the relevant chapters of the HTS. (However, in appendix A

to part 590, which lists various arms and related materiel, references

to Commerce Control List categories have been retained and updated as

an additional guide for exporters.) The terms ``controlled through the

Certificate of Origin regime of the Angolan Government of Unity and

National Reconciliation'' and ``mining services or ground or waterborne

transportation services'' are defined in Secs. 590.304 and 590.312

respectively, and numerous definitions are added to clarify the scope

of the blocking ordered in Sec. 590.207 of the Regulations. To

implement the definition of ``UNITA'' in Executive Orders 13069 and

13098, the definition of the term ``National Union for the Total

Independence of Angola,'' or ``UNITA,'' located at Sec. 590.314, is

expanded to include ``the Center for Democracy in Angola (CEDA),'' the

successor to the Free Angola Information Services, Inc. Finally, the

definition of ``effective date'' in Sec. 590.306 is amended to include

the effective dates of all new prohibitions contained in the

Regulations.

Subpart D of the Regulations is amended to include interpretive

sections relating to blocked property and interests in property and the

new import and export restrictions. The existing interpretive sections

concerning

[[Page 43926]]

transshipments through the United States and transshipments through

third countries are revised to include the commodities and services

covered by the new prohibitions.

Subpart E of the Regulations is amended to include several general

licenses and to indicate that OFAC will consider granting specific

licenses for transactions for medical and humanitarian purposes

otherwise prohibited under Secs. 590.203 through 590.208 of the

Regulations. Subpart F of the Regulations is amended to reflect the

relocation of sections relating to OFAC records and reports to subpart

C of 31 CFR part 501. Technical and conforming changes are made to

subpart G of the Regulations, relating to penalties. Subpart H of the

Regulations is amended to reflect the relocation of sections containing

license application procedures and procedures relating to amendments,

modifications, or revocations of licenses; administrative decisions;

rulemaking; and requests for documents pursuant to the Freedom of

Information and Privacy Acts (5 U.S.C. 552 and 552a) to subpart D of 31

CFR part 501. Subpart I of the Regulations is amended to include a

Paperwork Reduction Act notice.

Five new appendices are added to the Regulations. Appendix B to

part 590 contains the list of points of entry in the territory of

Angola designated for the purposes of the exceptions to certain

prohibitions in Secs. 590.201, 590.203, 590.204, and 590.205. The list

of these points of entry currently contained in Sec. 590.201(b) is

removed and transferred to new appendix B to part 590. This amendment

will allow both the existing and new sections to refer to the same list

of designated points of entry without unneeded repetition. Appendix C

to part 590 contains the list of designated aircraft to which certain

prohibitions contained in Sec. 590.203 do not apply. Appendix D to part

590 lists those areas to which the GURN's State administration has not

been extended for purposes of the prohibition in Sec. 590.206.

Appendices E and F to part 590 are non-exhaustive lists of the items

considered to be equipment used in mining, motorized vehicles,

watercraft, and spare parts for motorized vehicles and watercraft,

which are subject to the prohibitions in Secs. 590.204 and 590.205.

Other technical amendments are also made.

Since the Regulations involve a foreign affairs function, the

provisions of Executive Order 12866 and the Administrative Procedure

Act (5 U.S.C. 553) (the ``APA'') 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.

Paperwork Reduction Act

As authorized in the APA, the Regulations are being issued without

prior notice and public comment. The collections of information related

to the Regulations are contained in 31 CFR part 501 (the ``Reporting

and Procedures Regulations''). Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), those collections of information have been

approved by the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') under control

number 1505-0164. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is

not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the

collection of information displays a valid control number.

foreign policy and national security contexts may result in differing

interpretations of similar language among the parts of this chapter. No

license or authorization contained in or issued pursuant to those other

parts authorizes any transaction prohibited by this part. No license or

authorization contained in or issued pursuant to any other provision of

law or regulation authorizes any transaction prohibited by this part.

relieves the involved parties from complying with any other applicable

laws or regulations.

Subpart B--Prohibitions

Sec. 590.201 Prohibited sale or supply of arms, arms materiel,

any provision of this part or of any regulation, order, directive,

ruling, instruction, or license issued pursuant to this part, and that

involves any property or interest in property blocked pursuant to

Sec. 590.207(a) is null and void and shall not be the basis for the

whom such property is held or maintained, prior to that date, had

recognized such transfer.

(c) Unless otherwise provided, an appropriate license or other

authorization issued by or pursuant to the direction or authorization

of the Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control before, during,

provisions of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the

United Nations Participation Act, this part, and any regulation, order,

directive, ruling, instruction, or license issued pursuant to this

part.

(d) Property transfers that otherwise would be null and void or

unenforceable by virtue of the provisions of this section shall not be

deemed to be null and void or unenforceable as to any person with whom

cases in which such person is able to establish to the satisfaction of

the Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control each of the

following:

(1) Such transfer did not represent a willful violation of the

provisions of this part by the person with whom such property was held

or maintained;

(2) The person with whom such property was held or maintained did

not have reasonable cause to know or suspect, in view of all the facts

and circumstances known or available to such person, that such transfer

required a license issued pursuant to this part and was not so

licensed, or if a license did purport to cover the transfer, that such

license had been obtained by misrepresentation of a third party or

withholding of material facts or was otherwise fraudulently obtained;

and

(3) The person with whom such property was held or maintained filed

with the Office of Foreign Assets Control a report setting forth in

full the circumstances relating to such transfer promptly upon

Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, provided

the funds are invested in a money market fund or in U.S. Treasury

if it is the rate currently offered to other depositors on deposits or

the same.

(c) Blocked funds held in instruments the maturity of which exceeds

180 days at the time the funds become subject to Sec. 590.207(a) may

or of other blocked property, such as debt or equity securities, to

sell or liquidate such property at the time the property becomes

subject to Sec. 590.207(a). However, the Office of Foreign Assets

Control may issue licenses permitting or directing such sales in

appropriate cases.

reinvested in a manner that provides immediate financial or economic

pledging or other attempted use as collateral of blocked funds or other

assets.

modification, or revocation of any provision in or appendix to this

agent of any corporation who knowingly participates in such violation

may be punished by a like fine, imprisonment, or both.

(b) The criminal penalties provided in the Act are subject to

increase pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3571.

(c) Attention is directed to section 5 of the United Nations

Participation Act (22 U.S.C. 287c(b)), which provides that any person

who willfully violates or evades or attempts to violate or evade any

order, rule, or regulation issued by the President pursuant to the

authority granted in that section, upon conviction, shall be fined not

more than $10,000, or if a natural person, may also be imprisoned for

not more than 10 years; and any officer, director, or agent of any

corporation who knowingly participates in such a violation or evasion

shall be punished by a similar fine, imprisonment, or both; and any

property, funds, securities, papers, other articles or documents,

vessels together with their tackle, apparel, furniture, equipment,

vehicle, or aircraft concerned in such violation shall be forfeited to

Participation Act are subject to increase pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3571.

(d) Attention is also directed to 18 U.S.C. 1001, which provides

that whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department

or agency of the United States, knowingly and willfully falsifies,

conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact,

or makes any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or

representation, or makes or uses any false writing or document knowing

the same to contain any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or

entry shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, or imprisoned

not more than five years, or both.

(e) Violations of this part may also be subject to relevant

provisions of other applicable laws.

Sec. 590.702 Prepenalty notice.

(a) When required. If the Director of the Office of Foreign Assets

Control has reasonable cause to believe that there has occurred a

violation of any provision of this part or a violation of the

provisions of any license, ruling, regulation, order, direction, or

instruction issued by or pursuant to the direction or authorization of

the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to this part or otherwise under

the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and the Director

determines that further proceedings are warranted, the Director shall

issue to the person concerned a notice of intent to impose a monetary

penalty. This prepenalty notice shall be issued whether or not another

agency has taken any action with respect to this matter.

(b) Contents--(1) Facts of violation. The prepenalty notice shall

describe the violation, specify the laws and regulations allegedly

violated, and state the amount of the proposed monetary penalty.

(2) Right to respond. The prepenalty notice also shall inform the

respondent of respondent's right to make a written presentation within

30 days of the date of mailing of the notice as to why a monetary

penalty should not be imposed or why, if imposed, the monetary penalty

should be in a lesser amount than proposed.

Sec. 537.703 Response to prepenalty notice; informal settlement.

(a) Deadline for response. The respondent shall have 30 days from

the date of mailing of the prepenalty notice to make a written response

to the Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

in any particular form, but must contain information sufficient to

indicate that it is in response to the prepenalty notice. It should

contain responses to the

[[Page 43934]]

allegations in the prepenalty notice and set forth the reasons why the

respondent believes the penalty should not be imposed or why, if

imposed, it should be in a lesser amount than proposed.

(c) Informal settlement. In addition or as an alternative to a

written response to a prepenalty notice issued pursuant to this

section, the respondent or respondent's representative may contact the

Office of Foreign Assets Control as advised in the prepenalty notice to

propose the settlement of allegations contained in the prepenalty

notice and related matters. In the event of settlement at the

prepenalty stage, the claim proposed in the prepenalty notice will be

withdrawn, the respondent will not be required to take a written

position on allegations contained in the prepenalty notice, and the

Office of Foreign Assets Control will make no final determination as to

whether a violation occurred. The amount accepted in settlement of

allegations in a prepenalty notice may vary from the civil penalty that

might finally be imposed in the event of a formal determination of

violation. In the event no settlement is reached, the 30-day period

specified in paragraph (a) of this section for written response to the

prepenalty notice remains in effect unless additional time is granted

by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Sec. 537.704 Penalty imposition or withdrawal.

(a) No violation. If, after considering any response to a

prepenalty notice and any relevant facts, the Director of the Office of

Foreign Assets Control determines that there was no violation by the

respondent named in the prepenalty notice, the Director promptly shall

notify the respondent in writing of that determination and that no

monetary penalty will be imposed.

(b) Violation. If, after considering any response to a prepenalty

notice and any relevant facts, the Director of the Office of Foreign

Assets Control determines that there was a violation by the respondent

named in the prepenalty notice, the Director promptly shall issue a

written notice of the imposition of the monetary penalty to the

respondent.

(1) The penalty notice shall inform the respondent that payment of

the assessed penalty must be made within 30 days of the date of mailing

of the penalty notice.

(2) The penalty notice shall inform the respondent of the

requirement to furnish the respondent's taxpayer identification number

pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 7701 and that such number will be used for

purposes of collecting and reporting on any delinquent penalty amount.

Sec. 537.705 Administrative collection; referral to United States

Department of Justice.

In the event that the respondent does not pay a penalty imposed

pursuant to this part or make payment arrangements acceptable to the

Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control within 30 days of the

date of mailing of a penalty notice, the matter may be referred for

administrative collection measures by the Department of the Treasury or

to the United States Department of Justice for appropriate action to

recover the penalty in a civil suit in a Federal district court.
