SUMMARY: The Department of the

implement the Global Magnitsky 

Human Rights Accountability Act and 

Executive Order 13818 of December 20, 

2017 (‘‘Blocking the Property of Persons 

Involved in Serious Human Rights 

Abuse or Corruption’’). OFAC intends to 

supplement these regulations with a 

more comprehensive set of regulations, 

which may include additional 

interpretive and definitional guidance, 

general licenses, and statements of 

licensing policy. 

DATES: Effective Date: June 29, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Electronic Availability 

This document and additional 

information concerning OFAC are 

available from OFAC’s website 

(www.treasury.gov/ofac). 

Background 

On December 23, 2016, the President 

signed the Global Magnitsky Human 

Rights Accountability Act (Pub. L. 114– 

328, Title XII, Subtitle F) (the ‘‘Act’’) 

into law. The Act authorized the 

President to impose targeted sanctions 

on any foreign person the President 

determines is, among other things, 

responsible for extrajudicial killings, 

torture, or other gross violations of 

internationally recognized human 

rights, or a government official, or a 

senior associate of such an official, 

responsible for, or complicit in, 

ordering, controlling, or otherwise 

directing, acts of significant corruption. 

On December 20, 2017, the President, 

invoking the authority of, inter alia, the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706) 

(IEEPA), issued Executive Order 13818 

(82 FR 60839, December 26, 2017) (E.O. 

13818), effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern 

standard time on December 21, 2017. 

In E.O. 13818, the President 

determined that serious human rights 

abuse and corruption around the world 

constitute an unusual and extraordinary 

threat to the national security, foreign 

policy, and economy of the United 

States and declared a national 

emergency to deal with that threat. 

OFAC is issuing the Global Magnitsky 

Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 583 

(the ‘‘Regulations’’), to implement the 

Act and E.O. 13818, pursuant to 

authorities delegated to the Secretary of 

the Treasury in E.O. 13818. A copy of 

E.O. 13818 appears in appendix A to 

this part. 

The Regulations are being published 

in abbreviated form at this time for the 

purpose of providing immediate 

guidance to the public. OFAC intends to 

supplement this part 583 with a more 

comprehensive set of regulations, which 

may include additional interpretive and 

definitional guidance, general licenses, 

and statements of licensing policy. The 

appendix to the Regulations will be 

removed when OFAC supplements this 

part with a more comprehensive set of 

regulations. 

Public Participation 

Because the Regulations involve a 

foreign affairs function, the provisions 

of Executive Order 12866 and the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553) requiring notice of proposed 

rulemaking, opportunity for public 

participation, and delay in effective 

date, as well as the provisions of 

Executive Order 13771, 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 

The collections of information related 

to the Regulations are contained in 31 

CFR part 501 (the ‘‘Reporting, 

Procedures and Penalties 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 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.

Subpart A—Relation of This Part to 

Other Laws and Regulations 

§ 583.101 Relation of this part to other 

laws and regulations. 

This part is separate from, and 

independent of, the other parts of this 

chapter, with the exception of part 501 

of this chapter, the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements and license 

application and other procedures of 

which apply to this part. Actions taken 

pursuant to part 501 of this chapter with 

respect to the prohibitions contained in 

this part are considered actions taken 

pursuant to this part. Differing foreign 

policy and national security 

circumstances may result in differing 

interpretations of similar language 

among the parts of this chapter. No 

license or authorization contained in or 

issued pursuant to those other parts 

authorizes any transaction prohibited by 

this part. No license or authorization 

contained in or issued pursuant to any 

other provision of law or regulation 

authorizes any transaction prohibited by 

this part. No license or authorization 

contained in or issued pursuant to this 

part relieves the involved parties from 

complying with any other applicable 

laws or regulations. 

Note 1 to § 583.101: This part has been 

published in abbreviated form for the 

purpose of providing immediate guidance to 

the public. OFAC intends to supplement this 

part with a more comprehensive set of 

regulations, which may include additional 

interpretive and definitional guidance, 

general licenses, and statements of licensing 

policy. 

Subpart B—Prohibitions 

§ 583.201 Prohibited transactions 

involving blocked property. 

All transactions prohibited pursuant 

to Executive Order 13818 of December 

20, 2017 are also prohibited pursuant to 

this part. 

Note 1 to § 583.201: The names of persons 

listed in or designated pursuant to Executive 

Order 13818, whose property and interests in 

property therefore are blocked pursuant to 

this section, are published in the Federal 

Register and incorporated into OFAC’s 

Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked 

Persons List (SDN List) with the identifier 

‘‘[GLOMAG].’’ The SDN List is accessible 

through the following page on OFAC’s 

website: www.treasury.gov/sdn. Additional 

information pertaining to the SDN List can be 

found in appendix A to this chapter. See 

§ 583.406 concerning entities that may not be 

listed on the SDN List but whose property 

and interests in property are nevertheless 

blocked pursuant to this section. 

Note 2 to § 583.201: The International 

Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 

1701–1706), in section 203 (50 U.S.C. 1702), 

authorizes the blocking of property and 

interests in property of a person during the 

pendency of an investigation. The names of 

persons whose property and interests in 

property are blocked pending investigation 

pursuant to this section also are published in 

the Federal Register and incorporated into 

the SDN List with the identifier ‘‘[BPI– 

GLOMAG]’’. 

Note 3 to § 583.201: Sections 501.806 and 

501.807 of this chapter describe the 

procedures to be followed by persons 

seeking, respectively, the unblocking of 

funds that they believe were blocked due to 

mistaken identity, and administrative 

reconsideration of their status as persons 

whose property and interests in property are 

blocked pursuant to this section. 

§ 583.202 Effect of transfers violating the 

provisions of this part. 

(a) Any transfer after the effective date 

that is in violation of any provision of 

this part or of any regulation, order, 

directive, ruling, instruction, or license 

issued pursuant to this part, and that 

involves any property or interest in 

property blocked pursuant to § 583.201, 

is null and void and shall not be the 

basis for the assertion or recognition of 

any interest in or right, remedy, power, 

or privilege with respect to such 

property or interests in property. 

(b) No transfer before the effective 

date shall be the basis for the assertion 

or recognition of any right, remedy, 

power, or privilege with respect to, or 

any interest in, any property or interests 

in property blocked pursuant to 

§ 583.201, unless the person who holds 

or maintains such property, prior to that 

date, had written notice of the transfer 

or by any written evidence had 

recognized such transfer. 

(c) Unless otherwise provided, a 

license or other authorization issued by 

OFAC before, during, or after a transfer 

shall validate such transfer or make it 

enforceable to the same extent that it 

would be valid or enforceable but for 

the provisions of this part and any 

regulation, order, directive, ruling, 

instruction, or license issued pursuant 

to this part. 

(d) Transfers of property that 

otherwise would be null and void or 

unenforceable by virtue of the 

provisions of this section shall not be 

deemed to be null and void or 

unenforceable as to any person with 

whom such property is or was held or 

maintained (and as to such person only) 

in cases in which such person is able to 

establish to the satisfaction of OFAC 

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 is or was held or maintained 

(and as to such person only); 

(2) The person with whom such 

property is or was held or maintained 

did not have reasonable cause to know 

or suspect, in view of all the facts and 

circumstances known or available to 

such person, that such transfer required 

a license or authorization issued 

pursuant to this part and was not so 

licensed or authorized, or, if a license or 

authorization did purport to cover the 

transfer, that such license or 

authorization 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 is or was held or maintained 

filed with OFAC a report setting forth in 

full the circumstances relating to such 

transfer promptly upon discovery that: 

(i) Such transfer was in violation of 

the provisions of this part or any 

regulation, ruling, instruction, license, 

or other directive or authorization 

issued pursuant to this part; 

(ii) Such transfer was not licensed or 

authorized by OFAC; or 

(iii) If a license did purport to cover 

the transfer, such license had been 

obtained by misrepresentation of a third 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 126 / Friday, June 29, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 30543 

party or withholding of material facts or 

was otherwise fraudulently obtained. 

(e) The filing of a report in accordance 

with the provisions of paragraph (d)(3) 

of this section shall not be deemed 

evidence that the terms of paragraphs 

(d)(1) and (2) of this section have been 

satisfied. 

(f) Unless licensed pursuant to this 

part, any attachment, judgment, decree, 

lien, execution, garnishment, or other 

judicial process is null and void with 

respect to any property and interests in 

property blocked pursuant to § 583.201. 

§ 583.203 Holding of funds in interestbearing accounts; investment and 

reinvestment. 

(a) Except as provided in paragraph

directed or authorized by OFAC, any 

U.S. person holding funds, such as 

currency, bank deposits, or liquidated 

financial obligations, subject to 

§ 583.201 shall hold or place such funds 

in a blocked interest-bearing account 

located in the United States. 

(b)(1) For purposes of this section, the 

term blocked interest-bearing account 

means a blocked account: 

(i) In a federally insured U.S. bank, 

thrift institution, or credit union, 

provided the funds are earning interest 

at rates that are commercially 

reasonable; or 

(ii) With a broker or dealer registered 

with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.), provided the funds are invested in 

a money market fund or in U.S. 

Treasury bills. 

(2) Funds held or placed in a blocked 

account pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 

section may not be invested in 

instruments the maturity of which 

exceeds 180 days. 

(c) For purposes of this section, a rate 

is commercially reasonable if it is the 

rate currently offered to other depositors 

on deposits or instruments of 

comparable size and maturity. 

(d) For purposes of this section, if 

interest is credited to a separate blocked 

account or subaccount, the name of the 

account party on each account must be 

the same. 

(e) Blocked funds held in instruments 

the maturity of which exceeds 180 days 

at the time the funds become subject to 

§ 583.201 may continue to be held until 

maturity in the original instrument, 

provided any interest, earnings, or other 

proceeds derived therefrom are paid 

into a blocked interest-bearing account 

in accordance with paragraph (a) or (f) 

of this section. 

(f) Blocked funds held in accounts or 

instruments outside the United States at 

the time the funds become subject to 

§ 583.201 may continue to be held in the 

same type of accounts or instruments, 

provided the funds earn interest at rates 

that are commercially reasonable. 

(g) This section does not create an 

affirmative obligation for the holder of 

blocked tangible property, such as real 

or personal property, or of other blocked 

property, such as debt or equity 

securities, to sell or liquidate such 

property. However, OFAC may issue 

licenses permitting or directing such 

sales or liquidation in appropriate cases. 

(h) Funds subject to this section may 

not be held, invested, or reinvested in 

a manner that provides financial or 

economic benefit or access to any 

person whose property and interests in

cooperate in or facilitate the pledging or 

other attempted use as collateral of 

blocked funds or other assets. 

§ 583.204 Expenses of maintaining 

blocked tangible property; liquidation of 

blocked property.

results in the transfer of property 

(including any property interest) away 

from a person whose property and 

interests in property are blocked 

pursuant to § 583.201, such property 

shall no longer be deemed to be 

property blocked pursuant to § 583.201, 

unless there exists in the property 

another interest that is blocked pursuant 

to § 583.201, the transfer of which has 

not been effected pursuant to license or 

other authorization. 

(b) Unless otherwise specifically 

provided in a license or authorization 

issued pursuant to this part, if property 

(including any property interest) is 

transferred or attempted to be 

transferred to a person whose property 

and interests in property are blocked 

pursuant to § 583.201, such property 

shall be deemed to be property in which 

such person has an interest and 

therefore blocked. 

§ 583.404 Transactions ordinarily incident 

to a licensed transaction. 

Any transaction ordinarily incident to 

a licensed transaction and necessary to 

give effect thereto is also authorized, 

except: 

(a) An ordinarily incident transaction,

whose property and interests in 

property are blocked pursuant to

must be blocked in an account on the 

books of that financial institution. A 

transfer of funds or credit by a U.S.

authorized, provided that no transfer is 

made from an account within the

Order 13818 

Executive Order 13818 of December 20, 2017 

Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in 

Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption 

By the authority vested in me as President 

by the Constitution and the laws of the 

United States of America, including the 

International Emergency Economic Powers 

Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the 

National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et 

seq.) (NEA), the Global Magnitsky Human 

Rights Accountability Act (Public Law 114– 

328) (the ‘‘Act’’), section 212(f) of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 

U.S.C. 1182(f)) (INA), and section 301 of title 

3, United States Code, 

I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 

United States of America, find that the 

prevalence and severity of human rights 

abuse and corruption that have their source, 

in whole or in substantial part, outside the 

United States, such as those committed or 

directed by persons listed in the Annex to 

this order, have reached such scope and 

gravity that they threaten the stability of 

international political and economic systems. 

Human rights abuse and corruption 

undermine the values that form an essential 

foundation of stable, secure, and functioning 

societies; have devastating impacts on 

individuals; weaken democratic institutions; 

degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent 

conflicts; facilitate the activities of dangerous 

persons; and undermine economic markets. 

The United States seeks to impose tangible 

and significant consequences on those who 

commit serious human rights abuse or engage 

in corruption, as well as to protect the 

financial system of the United States from 

abuse by these same persons. 

I therefore determine that serious human 

rights abuse and corruption around the world 

constitute an unusual and extraordinary 

threat to the national security, foreign policy, 

and economy of the United States, and I 

hereby declare a national emergency to deal 

with that threat. 

I hereby determine and order: 

SECTION 1. (a) 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 any United States 

person of the following persons are blocked 

and may not be transferred, paid, exported, 

withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: 

(i) The persons listed in the Annex to this 

order; 

(ii) any foreign person determined by the 

Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation 

with the Secretary of State and the Attorney 

General: 

(A) To be responsible for or complicit in, 

or to have directly or indirectly engaged in, 

serious human rights abuse; 

(B) to be a current or former government 

official, or a person acting for or on behalf 

of such an official, who is responsible for or 

complicit in, or has directly or indirectly 

engaged in: 

(1) Corruption, including the 

misappropriation of state assets, the 

expropriation of private assets for personal 

gain, corruption related to government 

contracts or the extraction of natural 

resources, or bribery; or 

(2) the transfer or the facilitation of the 

transfer of the proceeds of corruption; 

(C) to be or have been a leader or official 

of: 

(1) An entity, including any government 

entity, that has engaged in, or whose 

members have engaged in, any of the 

activities described in subsections (ii)(A), 

(ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section relating 

to the leader’s or official’s tenure; or 

(2) an entity whose property and interests 

in property are blocked pursuant to this order 

as a result of activities related to the leader’s 

or official’s tenure; or 

(D) to have attempted to engage in any of 

the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), 

(ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section; and 

(iii) any person determined by the 

Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation 

with the Secretary of State and the Attorney 

General: 

(A) To have materially assisted, sponsored, 

or provided financial, material, or 

technological support for, or goods or 

services to or in support of: 

(1) Any activity described in subsections 

(ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section 

that is conducted by a foreign person; 

(2) any person whose property and 

interests in property are blocked pursuant to 

this order; or 

(3) any entity, including any government 

entity, that has engaged in, or whose 

members have engaged in, any of the 

activities described in subsections (ii)(A), 

(ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section, where 

the activity is conducted by a foreign person;

(C) to have attempted to engage in any of

SEC. 2. The unrestricted immigrant and 

nonimmigrant entry into the United States of 

aliens determined to meet one or more of the 

criteria in section 1 of this order would be 

detrimental to the interests of the United 

States, and the entry of such persons into the 

United States, as immigrants or 

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). 

SEC. 3. I hereby determine that the making 

of donations of the types of articles specified 

in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 

1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any 

person whose property and interests in 

property are blocked pursuant to this order 

would seriously impair my ability to deal 

with the national emergency declared in this 

order, and I hereby prohibit such donations 

as provided by section 1 of this order. 

SEC. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 

include: 

(a) The making of any contribution or 

provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, 

or for the benefit of any person whose 

property and interests in property are 

blocked pursuant to this order; and 

(b) the receipt of any contribution or 

provision of funds, goods, or services from 

any such person. 

SEC. 5. (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. 6. For the purposes of this order: 

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

or entity; 

(b) the term ‘‘entity’’ means a partnership, 

association, trust, joint venture, corporation, 

group, subgroup, or other organization; and 

(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. 

SEC. 7. 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 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 this order. 

SEC. 8. 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 

and the Act as may be necessary to 

implement this order and section 1263(a) of 

the Act with respect to the determinations 

provided for therein. The Secretary of the 

Treasury may, consistent with applicable 

law, redelegate any of these functions to 

other officers and agencies of the United 

States. All agencies shall take all appropriate 

measures within their authority to implement 

this order. 

SEC. 9. 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, 

the INA, and the Act as may be necessary to 

carry out section 2 of this order and, in 

consultation with the Secretary of the 

Treasury, the reporting requirement in 

section 1264(a) of the Act with respect to the 

reports provided for in section 1264(b)(2) of 

that Act. The Secretary of State may, 

consistent with applicable law, redelegate 

any of these functions to other officers and 

agencies of the United States consistent with 

applicable law. 

SEC. 10. The Secretary of the Treasury, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State and 

the Attorney General, is hereby authorized to 

determine that circumstances no longer 

warrant the blocking of the property and 

interests in property of a person listed in the 

Annex to this order, and to take necessary 

action to give effect to that determination. 

SEC. 11. 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. 12. This order is effective at 12:01 

a.m., Eastern Standard Time, December 21,
