BILLING CODE 8010–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 7033] 

Assistance to the Autonomous 

Government of Southern Sudan and 

the United States Contribution to the 

Global Fund To Fight AIDS, 

Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global 

Fund) for Fiscal Year 2008 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice of a Waiver 

Determination under Section 

202(d)(4)(A)(ii) of the United States 

Leadership against HIV/AIDS, 

Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003, 

as amended, for Fiscal Year 2008. 

SUMMARY: This is a notice of a waiver 

determination under Section 

202(d)(4)(A)(ii) of the United States 

Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, 

Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003, 

as amended by the Tom Lantos and 

Henry J. Hyde United States Global 

Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, 

Tuberculosis, and Malaria 

Reauthorization Act of 2008 (the 

Leadership Act). The Leadership Act 

requires that the U.S. Global AIDS 

Coordinator withhold from the U.S. 

contribution to the Global Fund an 

amount equal to expenditures by the 

Global Fund in the previous fiscal year 

to governments of countries that have 

been determined to have repeatedly 

provided support for acts of 

international terrorism in accordance 

with section 6(j)(1) of the Export 

Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. 

App. 2405 (j)(1)) (the ‘‘6(j) list’’). 

The government of the Republic of 

Sudan is designated on the ‘‘6(j) list.’’ 

Thus, Global Fund expenditures to the 

Government of the Republic of Sudan 

trigger a withholding requirement from 

the U.S. contribution to the Global 

Fund, subject to the waiver authority 

provided for Global Fund expenditures 

in Southern Sudan. During FY 2007, 

$260,139 was provided to government 

entities in Southern Sudan under 

malaria and HIV/AIDS grants, thus 

triggering a potential withholding 

requirement in this amount from the FY 

2008 U.S. contribution to the Global 

Fund. These funds were used to support 

malaria treatment, create State HIV/ 

AIDS Commissions in all ten southern 

Sudan states, provide needed financial 

support for project specialists, and meet 

other incurred expenses under HIV/ 

AIDS and malaria grants. 

Under the Leadership Act, the 

President has authority to waive the 

withholding requirement for assistance 

overseen by the Southern Sudan 

Country Coordinating Mechanism 

(SSCCM) if such an action is justified by 

the national interest or for humanitarian 

reasons. This authority has been 

delegated to the U.S. Global AIDS 

Coordinator. The United States places a 

high priority on ensuring appropriate 

disbursement and expenditure of 

foreign development and humanitarian 

funding. Following consultations with 

the relevant Congressional committees, 

the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator has 

determined waiver of the withholding 

requirement for assistance by the Global 

Fund to the Autonomous Government of 

Southern Sudan through the Global 

Fund SSCCM is justified for 

humanitarian reasons. The application 

of the withholding requirement of 

Section 202(d)(4)(A)(ii) of the Act is 

hereby waived with respect to such 

assistance, allowing for the additional 

contribution of $260,139 to the Global 

Fund from the FY 2008 appropriations 

for the U. S. contribution to the Global 

Fund. This notice of waiver 

determination is published in the 

Federal Register in compliance with 

Section 202(d)(4)(A)(ii) of the 

Leadership Act. 

DATES: Date Effective: May 26, 2010.

Diplomacy, Office of the Global AIDS 

Coordinator (202) 663–2586.
