Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 13, 2012 / Notices 14859 

3After RTC filed its petition for a declaratory 

order, the Retirement Board and ATDA filed 

comments in response. 

Under the schedule, RTC requests that 

after a declaratory order proceeding has 

been instituted, opening comments be 

due on day 30; reply comments be due 

on day 60; RTC’s rebuttal comments be 

due on day 75; and a decision by the 

Board be served on day 135. On January 

23, 2012, the American Train 

Dispatchers Association (ATDA) filed 

an opposition to the request for a 

procedural schedule. ATDA states that 

there is no reason to prolong the case by 

requesting additional comments and 

briefings.3

The petition for a declaratory order 

raises issues that require consideration 

by the Board. By this decision, the 

Board is instituting a proceeding under 

49 U.S.C. 721(a). An accurate and 

complete record is required for the 

Board to determine whether it has 

jurisdiction over RTC. Therefore, RTC 

and ATDA are directed to supplement 

the record in this proceeding by March 

28, 2012, with copies of their respective 

filings submitted to the Retirement 

Board and D.C. Circuit in the course of 

those proceedings. If parties other than 

RTC and ATDA submitted filings before 

the Retirement Board and D.C. Circuit, 

RTC must submit copies of those filings, 

as well as any transcripts of proceedings 

before those bodies. Because this 

additional information will assist the 

Board in making a jurisdictional 

determination, no further briefings from 

the parties are necessary, and the 

request for a procedural schedule is 

denied. 

This action will not significantly 

affect either the quality of the human 

environment or the conservation of 

energy resources.

Background 

The Kingpin Act became law on 

December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act 

establishes a program targeting the 

activities of significant foreign narcotics 

traffickers and their organizations on a 

worldwide basis. It provides a statutory 

framework for the President to impose 

sanctions against significant foreign 

narcotics traffickers and their 

organizations on a worldwide basis, 

with the objective of denying their 

businesses and agents access to the U.S. 

financial system and the benefits of 

trade and transactions involving U.S. 

companies and individuals. 

The Kingpin Act blocks all property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, owned or controlled by 

significant foreign narcotics traffickers 

as identified by the President. In 

addition, the Secretary of the Treasury 

in consultation with the Attorney 

General, the Director of the Central 

Intelligence Agency, the Director of the 

Federal Bureau of Investigation, the 

Administrator of the Drug Enforcement 

Administration, the Secretary of 

Defense, the Secretary of State, and the 

Secretary of Homeland Security when 

designating and blocking the property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, of foreign persons who are 

found to be: (1) Materially assisting in, 

or providing financial or technological 

support for or to, or providing goods or 

services in support of, the international 

narcotics trafficking activities of a 

person designated pursuant to the 

Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or 

directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, 

a person designated pursuant to the 

Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant 

role in international narcotics 

trafficking. 

On March 7, 2012, the Director of 

OFAC designated an individual whose 

property and interests in property are 

blocked pursuant to section 805(b)(2) 

and (3) of the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin 

Designation Act.
