Background

    Appendices A and B to 31 CFR chapter V contain the names of blocked 
persons, specially designated nationals, specially designated 
terrorists, and specially designated narcotics traffickers designated 
pursuant to the various economic sanctions programs administered by the 
Office of Foreign Assets Control (``OFAC'') (61 FR 32936, June 26, 
1996). In light of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1074 of 
October 1, 1996, lifting sanctions on the Government of the Federal 
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia & Montenegro) (the ``FRY (S&M)''), this 
final rule amends appendices A and B to remove the names of individuals 
and entities determined by the Director of OFAC to be specially 
designated nationals (``SDNs'') of the FRY (S&M). Assets blocked in 
which the SDNs had an interest subsequent to their designation and 
before sanctions were suspended on December 27, 1995, are unblocked 
effective December 4, 1996, since these assets were blocked on the 
basis of the SDNs' activities in support of the FRY (S&M) -- activities 
that are no longer prohibited -- and not because the Government of the 
FRY (S&M) or entities located in or controlled from the FRY (S&M) have 
any interest in or control of those assets.
    Since the Regulations involve a foreign affairs function, the 
provisions of Executive Order 12866 and the Administrative Procedure 
Act (5 U.S.C. 553), requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, 
opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective

[[Page 64290]]

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.
    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, and under the authority 
of 3 U.S.C. 301; 22 U.S.C. 287c; 49 U.S.C. 40106; 50 U.S.C. 1601-1651;
