Background
On November 3, 1997 the President, invoking the authority of, inter
alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-
1706) (``IEEPA''), issued Executive Order 13067 (``E.O. 13067''). In
E.O. 13067, the President declared a national emergency to deal with
the Government of Sudan's continued support of international terrorism;
ongoing efforts to destabilize neighboring governments; and the
prevalence there of human rights violations, including slavery and the
denial of religious freedom. Section 1 of E.O. 13067 blocks, with
certain exceptions, all property and interests in property of the
Government of Sudan that are in the United States, that hereafter come
within the United States, or that hereafter come within the possession
or control of United States persons, including their overseas branches.
Section 4 defines the term ``Government of Sudan'' to include the
Government of Sudan, its agencies, instrumentalities and controlled
entities, and the Central Bank of Sudan.
On October 13, 2006, the President, invoking the authority of,
inter alia, IEEPA, issued Executive Order 13412 (``E.O. 13412''), in
order to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency
declared in E.O. 13067. Section 1 of E.O. 13412 restates the blocking
of the Government of Sudan imposed by E.O. 13067. Section 6 excludes
the regional government of Southern Sudan from the definition of the
Government of Sudan.
On April 28, 2011, OFAC removed the entity listed below, whose
property and interests in property were blocked pursuant to E.O. 13067
