UNEP will select nominees by matching 

expertise to specific roles, paying due 

attention to disciplinary, gender, and 

geographical balance. Details of the 

GEO–6 nominating criteria may be 

found online at: http://www.unep.org/

geo/nomination-criteria.asp. Key roles 

and responsibilities, including the 

specific Terms of Reference (ToR) for 

the various experts and groups can be 

found at: http://www.unep.org/geo/

expert-tor.asp. Nominations may be 

made at http://hqweb.unep.org/dewa/

dewa_mvc_vb/form/Default.aspx?

param1=geo6¶m2=berlin. For 

nominations to be considered within the 

U.S. government nomination process, 

they must also be submitted to the 

United States Department of State. 

GEO–6 will review the nominations 

from all participating governments, 

individuals and organizations and make 

final decisions on nominees. 

Selection as a U.S. government 

nominee does not guarantee selection by 

GEO–6 itself. Participants in the GEO 

process volunteer their time. Nominated 

individuals should agree in advance to 

fulfill the role for which they are 

nominated, should they be selected to 

do so by UNEP GEO. Nomination by the 

U.S. government to GEO–6 does not 

imply a commitment by the U.S. 

government to provide financial support 

for participation. 

UNEP may provide travel and 

subsistence costs for non-Federal 

participants if requested by the 

participant, subject to the availability of 

resources. Additional guidance on 

compensation of expenses and 

remuneration of services will be 

available on the UNEP Web site. 

How To Recommend Experts 

1. Refer to the GEO–6 Web site for 

detailed background information on the 

6th Assessment Report (http://

www.unep.org/geo/nominationcriteria.asp, and http://www.unep.org/

geo/expert-tor.asp). The document on 

GEO–6 nominations identifies the 

substantive areas covered in the report. 

It is important to note that the time 

commitment required to carry out 

different roles in the GEO–6 process 

(Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead 

Authors, Contributing Authors, Review 

Editors, and Communities of Practice 

Moderators) varies greatly. 

2. Make sure that any of the experts 

whom you wish to recommend are 

willing to serve in the role for which 

they are nominated. 

3. Nominations to be considered 

within the U.S. government nomination 

process must be submitted to the U.S. 

Department of State, Office of 

Environmental Quality and 

Transboundary Issues no later than 

January 19, 2015. Provide the required 

GEO–6 nomination information, one for 

each nominee, including an up-to-date 

curriculum vitae of no more than three 

pages and identification of the role for 

which the individual is being 

nominated. Send this information by 

email to matuszakjm@state.gov and 

lathamme@state.gov. Please note that 

partial nomination packages will not be 

considered. 

What Happens Next? 

In a process coordinated through the 

U.S. Department of State, Bureau of 

Oceans and International Environmental 

and Scientific Affairs, Office of 

Environmental Quality and 

Transboundary Issues, technical experts 

and managers of relevant science and 

technology programs within the U.S. 

government will review 

recommendations and forward a slate of 

nominees to GEO–6 on the basis of their 

qualifications. Submission of a 

nomination to the State Department 

does not guarantee that the nomination 

will be forwarded by the U.S. 

government to UNEP. 

Disclaimer: This Public Notice is a 

request for nominations, and is not a 

request for applications. No granting or 

money is directly associated with this 

request for suggestions for GEO–6. 

There is no expectation of U.S. 

Government resources or funding 

associated with any nominations.

[Public Notice 8985] 

Provision of Certain Temporary and 

Limited Sanctions Relief in Order To 

Implement 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 

implement the sanctions relief aspects 

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: To 

implement this limited sanctions relief, 

the U.S. government has executed 

temporary, partial waivers of certain 

statutory sanctions and has issued 

guidance regarding the suspension of 

sanctions under relevant Executive 

Orders and regulations. 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. 

All suspended sanctions are 

scheduled to resume on July 1, 2015 

unless further action is taken by the 

P5+1 and Iran and subsequent waivers 

and guidance are issued by the U.S. 

government. Companies engaging in 

activities covered by the temporary 

sanctions relief should expect sanctions

1Pursuant to section 1244(c)(2)(C)(iii) of IFCA, 

the relevant sanction in Section 1244(c)(1) 

continues not to apply, by its terms, in the case of 

Iranian financial institutions that have not been 

designated for the imposition of sanctions in 

connection with Iran’s proliferation of weapons of 

mass destruction or delivery systems for weapons 

of mass destruction, support for international 

terrorism, or abuses of human rights (as described 

in section 1244(c)(3)).

3Pursuant to section 1246(a)(1)(C) of IFCA, the 

relevant sanction in section 1246(a)(1) continues 

not to apply, by its terms, in the case of Iranian

for the imposition of sanctions in connection with

1246(b)). 

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. Except as specified 

below with respect to payments for 

insurance claims, the suspension does 

not apply to any related, otherwise 

sanctionable conduct, including 

shipping and financial activities, 

undertaken before that period or after 

that period, even if they are undertaken 

pursuant to contracts entered into 

during the JPOA period or Extended 

JPOA Period. For example, deliveries of 

goods or services after the Extended 

JPOA Period would be sanctionable 

even if relevant contracts were entered 

into during the JPOA Period or 

Extended JPOA Period. 

To the extent that the provision of 

insurance or reinsurance is an 

associated service of an activity for 

which the JPOA provides temporary 

relief, the provision of such insurance or 

reinsurance by a non-U.S. person not 

otherwise subject to the ITSR during the 

Extended JPOA Period would not be 

sanctionable. 

Insurance payments for claims arising 

from incidents that occur during the 

JPOA Period and/or Extended JPOA 

Period may be paid after June 30, 2015, 

so long as the underlying transactions 

and activities conform to all other 

aspects of the sanctions remaining in 

place and the terms of the sanctions 

relief provided in the JPOA. Insurance 

and reinsurance companies should 

contact the USG directly with any 

inquiries. 

U.S. persons and their foreign 

subsidiaries remain prohibited from 

participating in the provision of 

insurance or reinsurance services to or 

for the benefit of Iran or sanctioned 

entities, including with respect to all 

elements of the sanctions relief 

provided pursuant to the JPOA, unless 

specifically authorized by OFAC.

airplanes. By this notice, the FAA finds 

the revised standards as acceptable 

means of compliance to 14 CFR part 23 

sections concerning electrical wiring 

systems.
