# 									Imposing Sanctions and Visa Restrictions to Hold the Lukashenka Regime to Account on the Third Anniversary of the Fraudulent Presidential Election in Belarus							

Press Statement

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

August 9, 2023

Today marks three years since the fraudulent presidential election in Belarus and the Alyaksandr Lukashenka regime’s crackdown on the Belarusian people’s demands for freedom. The United States continues to stand with the brave people of Belarus as they seek a country grounded in the rule of law, respect for human rights, and an accountable, democratically-elected government.

Today, the United States is sanctioning eight individuals and five entities for enabling Lukashenka’s domestic repression and facilitating Russia’s war against Ukraine. Additionally, we are imposing visa restrictions on 101 regime officials and their affiliates for undermining or harming democratic institutions in Belarus, including several judges responsible for issuing politically-motivated sentences against Belarusians for exercising their fundamental freedoms.

We reiterate our call for the immediate and unconditional release of all 1,500 political prisoners held by the Lukashenka regime, including Ales Bialiatski, Viktar Babaryka, Maria Kalesnikava, Ihar Losik, and Siarhei Tsikhanouski. Since 2020, the Lukashenka regime has repressed Belarusian citizens, arrested peaceful protesters and community leaders, cracked down on opposition groups and civil society organizations, and subjected those detained to sham trials, all to maintain Lukashenka’s illegitimately acquired authority. The United States will continue to support the people of Belarus in their pursuit of a democratic future in free Belarus where human rights are respected.

*The Department of the Treasury is designating the “Department of Financial Investigations of the State Control Committee of Belarus” and four members of its board of directors; three family members of U.S.-designated Aliaksey Ivanavich Aleksin; three entities owned or controlled by the Government of Belarus: Open Joint Stock Company Belavia Belarusian Airlines (Belavia), Open Joint Stock Company Minsk Civil Aviation Plant 407, Joint Stock Company Byelorussian Steel Works Management Company (BSW); one entity, Bel-Kap-Steel LLC, for being owned or controlled by BSW; and is identifying one aircraft owned by Belavia as blocked property. Treasury is taking these actions pursuant to Executive Order 14038 “Blocking Property of Additional Persons Contributing to the Situation in Belarus.” For more information about these designations, see Treasury’s press release.*

Subject: Request for Approval of Previous Emissions Test Data - Potline PM and POM -

Alumax of South Carolina, Inc.

Dear Mr. Putney,

 As per the information collection request (ICR) letter dated March 04, 2013,

I am requesting that the U.S. EPA accept previously conducted POM and PM emissions 

testing results from a Potline at the Alumax of South Carolina, Inc. (Alumax) 

facility in Goose Creek, South Carolina. This testing was conducted in February 

2012 to evaluate emissions from the Potline roof monitor and Potline primary capture

and control system with respect to the POM emission limit that was listed in the 

proposed amendments to the national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants

for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants as published on December 6, 2011 (76FR76260). 

The PM emissions were determined in conjunction with the Method 315 POM testing. As

detailed below, Alumax believes that the test report and supporting information 

satisfy the requirements for acceptance of previous test reports that were stated in

Enclosure 1 of the ICR.

 Attached with this e-mail request are PDF files of this letter, including a 

completed Table 4 - Combination Dry Alumina Scrubber/Bag House Description for the 

tested Potline 162E control device, and of the Test Report, Potline Roof Monitor and

Scrubber Stack POM Test Program, Alcoa Mt. Holly Operations, Goose Creek, SC, March 

28, 2012, Revised November 30, 2012. Prepared by TRC Environmental Corporation, 

Raleigh, NC. TRC Project No. 190195.

 We appreciate the EPA's timely review of the provided information as Alumax 

is planning to conduct the remaining requested testing. If you have any questions 

regarding the information provided, please feel free to contact Larry McCaskill of 

my staff at (843) 572-5246 or via e-mail at

COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS




Cash Compensation



The cash fees paid to outside directors are as set for the below.




     Chairman of the Board



The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. R.S. Evans, receives a cash retainer fee of $90,000 per
year. Mr. Evans receives no other cash compensation for his service on the Board and its
Committees.




     Other Non-Employee Directors



Non-employee directors, other than Mr. Evans, receive the following cash compensation:





	•	 	$22,500 annual Board retainer
	 
	•	 	$9,000 annual retainer for chairman of the Audit Committee
	 
	•	 	$1,350 annual retainer for other Audit Committee members
	 
	•	 	$2,700 annual retainer for chairman of the Management Organization and
Compensation Committee
	 
	•	 	$1,800 annual retainer for Executive Committee members
	 
	•	 	$1,800 for each Board meeting and Committee meeting attended





Stock Compensation



In accordance with a program adopted by the Company in 2006, each non-employee director is to be
awarded, on the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a grant of restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) having a value of approximately $15,000 on the date of grant. The RSUs vest in full on the
date of the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or upon a change of control of the Company. The
shares of stock represented by vested RSUs are delivered to the director upon cessation of his
service on the Board. In 2008, the shares remaining in the 2005 Nonemployee Directors’ Restricted
Stock Plan (the “2005 Directors Plan”) were insufficient for a $15,000 grant and, accordingly, all
of the remaining shares in the 2005 Directors Plan were awarded, resulting in a grant to each
non-employee director of 3,456 RSUs on April 22, 2008, which vest on April 20, 2009, the date of
the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.



The Company reimburses its directors for reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board and
Committee meetings.
