DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Office of Foreign Assets Control


Unblocking of 1 Individual Designated Pursuant to Executive Order 
13572; Correction

AGENCY: Office of Foreign Assets Control, Treasury.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On April 25, 2013, the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign 
Assets Control (``OFAC'') published a notice in the Federal Register 
announcing the removal of one individual whose property and interests 
in property were blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13572 of April 29, 
2011, ``Blocking Property of Certain Persons with Respect to Human 
Rights Abuses in Syria'' from the list of Specially Designated 
Nationals and Blocked Persons (``SDN List''). In the notice, however, 
OFAC incorrectly described the individual's property and interest in 
property as currently blocked. This notice corrects this error and 
clarifies that the individual's property and interest in property were 
no longer blocked as of the effective date set forth in the earlier 
notice.

DATES: The removal of this individual from the SDN List was effective 
as of Thursday, April 18, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Assistant Director, Sanctions 
Compliance & Evaluation, Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department 
of the Treasury, 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. (Treasury Annex), 
Washington, DC 20220, Tel.: 202/622-2490.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Electronic and Facsimile Availability

    This document and additional information concerning OFAC are 
available from OFAC's Web site (www.treas.gov/ofac) or via facsimile 
through a 24-hour fax-on-demand service, Tel.: 202/622-0077.

Correction

    In the notice published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2013 
at 78 FR 24468, OFAC incorrectly described the property and interests 
in property of an individual removed from the SDN List as ``blocked.'' 
The property and interests in property of this individual were no 
longer blocked as of April 18, 2013 (the effective date set forth in 
the April 25, 2013, Federal Register notice). Accordingly, OFAC is 
correcting the notice as follows: on page 24468, in the second column 
under the heading ``Individual,'' in the second sentence of the second 
paragraph, replace the word ``blocked'' with the word ``unblocked'' so 
that the sentence reads, ``All property and interests in property of 
the individual that are in or hereafter come within the United States 
or the possession or control of United States persons are now 
unblocked.'' The corrected notice is republished below.

Background

    On April 29, 2011, the President issued Executive Order 13572, 
``Blocking Property of Certain Persons with Respect to Human Rights 
Abuses in Syria,'' (the ``Order'') pursuant to, inter alia, the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-06). In the 
Order, the President expanded the scope of the national emergency 
declared in Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 2004. The Order authorizes 
the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of 
State, to designate additional persons or entities determined to meet 
certain criteria set forth in Executive Order 13572. The Department of 
the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has determined that 
this individual should be removed from the SDN List.
    The following designation is removed from the SDN List:

    AL-KUZBARI, Nabil Rafik (a.k.a. AL-KOUZBARI, Nabil; a.k.a. AL-

Nabil R.); DOB 20 Sep 1936; POB Damascus, Syria; citizen Syria; alt. 
citizen Austria; Passport P3002721 (Austria) (individual) [SYRIA].
    The removal of this individual from the SDN List is effective as of 
Thursday, April 18, 2013. All property and interests in property of the 
individual that are in or hereafter come within the United States or 
the possession or control of United States persons are now unblocked.
