(b) the receipt of any contribution or 

provision of funds, goods, or services from 

any such person. 

Sec. 7. The unrestricted immigrant and 

nonimmigrant entry into the United States of 

aliens determined to meet one or more of the 

criteria in section 4(a) of this order, as well 

as immediate family members of such aliens, 

or aliens determined by the Secretary of State 

to be employed by, or acting as an agent of, 

such aliens, would be detrimental to the 

interest of the United States, and the entry of 

such persons into the United States, as 

immigrants and nonimmigrants, is hereby 

suspended. Such persons shall be treated as 

persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 

8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry 

of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security 

Council Travel Bans and International 

Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions). 

The Secretary of State shall have the 

responsibility of implementing this section 

pursuant to such conditions and procedures 

as the Secretary has established or may 

establish pursuant to Proclamation 8693. 

Sec. 8. (a) Any transaction that evades or 

avoids, has the purpose of evading or 

avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to 

violate any of the prohibitions set forth in 

this order is prohibited. 

(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any 

of the prohibitions set forth in this order is 

prohibited. 

Sec. 9. Nothing in this order shall prohibit 

transactions for the conduct of the official 

business of the Federal Government by 

employees, grantees, or contractors thereof. 

Sec. 10. For the purposes of this order: 

(a) The term ‘‘person’’ means an individual 

or entity; 

(b) the term ‘‘entity’’ means a government 

or instrumentality of such government, 

partnership, association, trust, joint venture, 

corporation, group, subgroup, or other 

organization, including an international 

organization; 

(c) the term ‘‘United States person’’ means 

any United States citizen, permanent resident 

alien, entity organized under the laws of the 

United States or any jurisdiction within the 

United States (including foreign branches), or 

any person in the United States; and 

(d) The term ‘‘immediate family member’’ 

means spouses and children of any age. 

Sec. 11. For those persons whose property 

and interests in property are blocked 

pursuant to this order who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United States, 

I find that because of the ability to transfer 

funds or other assets instantaneously, prior 

notice to such persons of measures to be 

taken pursuant to section 4 of this order 

would render those measures ineffectual. I 

therefore determine that for these measures 

to be effective in addressing the national 

emergency declared in this order, there need 

be no prior notice of a listing or 

determination made pursuant to section 4 of 

this order. 

Sec. 12. The Secretary of the Treasury, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State, is 

hereby authorized to take such actions, 

including adopting rules and regulations, and 

to employ all powers granted to me by IEEPA 

as may be necessary to implement this order. 

The Secretary of the Treasury may, consistent 

with applicable law, redelegate any of these 

functions within the Department of the 

Treasury. All departments and agencies of 

the United States shall take all appropriate 

measures within their authority to implement 

this order. 

Sec. 13. The Secretary of the Treasury, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State, is 

hereby authorized to submit recurring and 

final reports to the Congress on the national 

emergency declared in this order, consistent 

with section 401(c) of the NEA (50 U.S.C. 

1641(c)) and section 204(c) of IEEPA (50 

U.S.C. 1703(c)). 

Sec. 14. (a) Nothing in this order shall be 

construed to impair or otherwise affect: 

(i) The authority granted by law to an 

executive department or agency; or 

(ii) the functions of the Director of the 

Office of Management and Budget relating to 

budgetary, administrative, or legislative 

proposals. 

(b) This order shall be implemented 

consistent with applicable law and subject to 

the availability of appropriations. 

(c) This order is not intended to, and does 

not, create any right or benefit, substantive or 

procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by 

any party against the United States, its 

departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, 

employees, or agents, or any other person. 

Sec. 15. If, based on consideration of the 

terms, obligations, and expectations 

expressed in the Joint Declaration, I 

determine that changes in China’s actions 

ensure that Hong Kong is sufficiently 

autonomous to justify differential treatment 

in relation to the PRC under United States 

law, I will reconsider the determinations 

made and actions taken and directed under 

this order.

General Credit for Flood Control 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ part 

titled General Credit for Flood Control. 

Each removed section of this part is outof-date as current policy and procedures 

on this subject can be found in internal 

documents. Therefore, this part can be 

removed from the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR). 

DATES: This rule is effective on January 

15, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Department of the Army, 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, ATTN: 

CECW–P (Ms. Amy Frantz), 441 G Street 

NW, Washington, DC 20314–1000. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Amy Frantz at (202) 761–0106 or by 

email at Amy.K.Frantz@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final 

rule removes from the CFR 33 CFR part 

240, General Credit for Flood Control. 

The rule was initially published in the 

Federal Register on November 18, 1987 

(52 FR 44113). The regulation 

established guidelines and procedures 

for Department of the Army application 

of the provisions of section 104 of 

Public Law 99–662. Section 104 

authorizes and directs the development 

of guidelines which include criteria for 

determining whether work carried out 

by local interests is compatible with a 

project for flood control. This legislative 

authority also provides that benefits and 

costs of compatible work will be 

considered in the economic evaluation 

of the Federal project. This authority 

provides a basis for non-Federal 

interests to undertake local work to 

alleviate flood damages in the period 

preceding authorization of a Federal 

project with assurance that they will not 

adversely affect the project’s economic 

feasibility. The regulation provides 

general policy and procedures on the 

application of section 104 and credit 

criteria for projects. It was published, at 

that time, in the Federal Register to aid 

public accessibility. The solicitation of 

public comment for this removal is 

unnecessary because the rule is out-ofdate, and otherwise covers internal 

agency operations that have no public 

compliance component or adverse 

public impact. For current public 

accessibility purposes, updated internal 

agency policy on this topic may be 

found in Engineer Regulation (ER) 

1165–2–208, ‘‘In-Kind Contribution 

Credit Provisions of Section 221 (a)(4) of 

the Flood Control Act of 1970, as 

amended’’ (available at https://

www.publications.usace.army.mil/

Portals/76/Publications/Engineer

Regulations/ER_1165-2-208.pdf). 

This rule removal is being conducted 

to reduce confusion for the public as 

well as for the Corps regarding the 

current policy which governs the Corps’ 

general credit for flood control. Because 

the regulation does not place a burden 

on the public, its removal does not 

3802 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

provide a reduction in public burden or 

costs. 

This rule is not significant under 

Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 

‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review.’’ 

Therefore, the requirements of E.O. 

13771, ‘‘Reducing Regulation and 

Controlling Regulatory Costs,’’ do not 

apply. This removal supports a 

recommendation of the DoD Regulatory 

Reform Task Force.

Continuing Authorities Programs 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ part 

titled Continuing Authorities Programs. 

Each removed section of this part is outof-date and covers internal agency 

operations that have no public 

compliance component or adverse 

public impact. Current policy and 

procedures on this subject can be found 

in internal documents. Therefore, this 

part can be removed from the Code of

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Amy Frantz at (202) 761–0106 or by 

email at Amy.K.Frantz@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final 

rule removes from the CFR 33 CFR part 

263, Continuing Authorities Programs. 

The rule was initially published in the 

Federal Register on November 3, 1975 

(40 FR 51134), and amended on 

December 30, 1976 (41 FR 56943). The 

regulation provided policies and 

procedures for seven legislative 

authorities under which the Secretary of 

the Army, acting through the Chief of 

Engineers, was authorized to plan, 

design and construct certain types of 

water resource improvements without 

specific Congressional authorization. 

The Continuing Authorities Program is 

used to plan and implement projects of 

limited size, scope and complexity in an 

accelerated manner compared to 

traditional USACE projects. Three new 

authorities have been authorized since 

publication of the regulation and an 

updated internal agency policy reflects 

changes in cost share limits and 

program limits for all ten existing 

authorities. The rule was published, at 

that time, in the Federal Register to aid 

public accessibility. For current public 

accessibility purposes, the 

implementation procedures for the 

authorities listed in this regulation are 

currently covered under Engineer 

Pamphlet (EP) 1105–2–58, ‘‘Continuing 

Authorities Program,’’ dated March 1, 

2019 (available at https://

www.publications.usace.army.mil/ 

Portals/76/EP_1105-2-58.pdf?ver=2019- 

04-30-105428-920). The solicitation of 

public comment for this removal is 

unnecessary because the rule is out-ofdate and covers internal agency 

operations that have no public 

compliance component or adverse 

public impact. 

This rule removal is being conducted 

to reduce confusion for the public as 

well as for the Corps regarding the 

current policy which governs the Corps’ 

Continuing Authorities Program. 

Because the regulation does not place a 

burden on the public, its removal does 

not provide a reduction in public 

burden or costs. 

This rule is not significant under 

Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 

‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review.’’ 

Therefore, the requirements of E.O. 

13771, ‘‘Reducing Regulation and 

Controlling Regulatory Costs,’’ do not 

apply. This removal supports a

Reform Task Force.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final 

rule removes from the CFR 33 CFR part 

276, Water Resources Policies and 

Authorities: Application of Section 134a 

of Public Law 94–587. The rule was 

initially published in the Federal 

Register on February 15, 1977 (42 FR 

9175). The regulation authorized and 

directed implementation of a procedure 

for certification of a locally constructed 

flood control element/component that is 

compatible with a specific, potential 

Federal Project under study. Section 

134a provided that local interests could 

proceed to construct such certified 

compatible improvements at local 

expense with the understanding that 

such improvements could be expected 

to be included in the scope of the 

Federal project, if later authorized, both 

for the purposes of analyzing the costs 

and benefits of the project and assessing 

the local participation in the costs of 

such project. Cost assignable to that part
