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.

relieves the involved parties from complying with any other applicable
laws or regulations.
Subpart B--Prohibitions

ruling, instruction, or license issued pursuant to this part, and that
involves any property or interest in property blocked pursuant to

authorization issued by or pursuant to the direction or authorization

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

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

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

reinvested in a manner that provides immediate financial or economic

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

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
the United States. The penalties provided in the United Nations
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.
(b) Form and contents of response. The written response need not be
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.
