DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 9098] 

In the Matter of the Designation of Ali 

Ouni Harzi Also Known as Ali Harzi 

Also Known as Ali Bin Al-tahar Bin Alfalah Al-ouni Al-Harzi as a Specially 

Designated Global Terrorist Pursuant 

to Section 1(b) of Executive Order 

13224, as Amended 

Acting under the authority of and in 

accordance with section 1(b) of 

Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 

2001, as amended by Executive Order 

13268 of July 2, 2002, and Executive 

Order 13284 of January 23, 2003, I 

hereby determine that the individual 

known as Ali Ouni Harzi, also known as 

Ali Harzi, also known as Ali Bin Altahar Bin Al-falah Al-ouni Al-Harzi, 

committed, or poses a significant risk of 

committing, acts of terrorism that 

threaten the security of U.S. nationals or 

the national security, foreign policy, or 

economy of the United States. 

Consistent with the determination in 

section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that 

‘‘prior notice to persons determined to 

be subject to the Order who might have 

a constitutional presence in the United 

States would render ineffectual the 

blocking and other measures authorized 

in the Order because of the ability to 

transfer funds instantaneously,’’ I 

determine that no prior notice needs to 

be provided to any person subject to this 

determination who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United 

States, because to do so would render 

ineffectual the measures authorized in 

the Order. 

This notice shall be published in the 

Federal Register. 

Dated: March 30, 2015.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 9095] 

Provision of Certain Temporary and 

Limited Sanctions Relief Under the 

National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 in Order To Continue 

Implementing the Joint Plan of Action 

of November 24, 2013 Between the 

P5+1 and the Islamic Republic of Iran, 

as Extended Through June 30, 2015 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On November 24, 2013, the 

United States and its partners in the 

P5+1—France, the United Kingdom, 

Russia, China, and Germany—reached 

an initial understanding with Iran, 

outlined in a Joint Plan of Action 

(JPOA),that halts progress on its nuclear 

program and rolls it back in key 

respects. In return, the P5+1 committed 

to provide limited, temporary, and 

targeted sanctions relief to Iran. 

The JPOA was renewed by mutual 

consent of the P5+1 and Iran on July 19, 

2014, and again on November 24, 2014, 

extending the temporary sanctions relief 

provided under the JPOA to cover the 

period beginning on November 24, 

2014, and ending June 30, 2015 (the 

Extended JPOA Period), in order to 

continue negotiations aimed at 

achieving a long-term comprehensive 

solution to ensure that Iran’s nuclear 

program will be exclusively peaceful. 

This Notice outlines the U.S. 

Government (USG) actions taken to 

extend certain sanctions relief under the 

National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2012 as part of this 

understanding. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective 

dates of these waiver actions are as 

described in the determinations set forth 

below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: On 

general issues: Paul Pavwoski, Office of 

Economic Sanctions Policy and 

Implementation, Department of State, 

Telephone: (202) 647–8836. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

government has executed temporary, 

partial waivers of certain sanctions 

under the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 

(NDAA), in order to continue 

implementing the sanctions relief under 

the JPOA. All U.S. sanctions not 

explicitly waived or suspended 

pursuant to the JPOA as extended 

remain fully in force, including 

sanctions on transactions with 

individuals and entities on the SDN List 

unless otherwise specified. 

Furthermore, U.S. persons and foreign 

entities owned or controlled by U.S. 

persons (‘‘U.S.-owned or -controlled 

foreign entities’’) continue to be 

generally prohibited from conducting 

transactions with Iran, including any 

transactions of the types permitted 

pursuant to the JPOA as extended, 

unless licensed to do so by OFAC. The 

U.S. government will continue to 

enforce U.S. sanctions laws and 

regulations against those who engage in 

sanctionable activities that are not 

covered by the suspensions and 

temporary waivers issued pursuant to 

the JPOA as extended. 

Sanctions suspended under the 

NDAA are scheduled to resume on July 

1, 2015 unless further action is taken by 

the P5+1 and Iran and subsequent 

waivers are issued by the U.S. 

government. Companies engaging in 

activities covered by the temporary 

sanctions relief described in this notice 

should expect sanctions to apply to any 

activities that extend beyond the current 

end date of the Extended JPOA Period, 

June 30, 2015. The temporary 

suspension of sanctions applies only to 

activities that begin and end during the 

period January 20, 2014 to June 30, 

2015.
