[Public Notice 8809] 

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 November 24, 2014 

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) and the 

EU 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 scheduled to expire after July 

20, 2014. 

The JPOA was renewed by mutual 

consent of the P5+1, EU, and Iran on 

July 19, 2014, extending the temporary 

sanctions relief provided under the 

JPOA through November 24, 2014 (the 

Extended JPOA Period), in order to 

continue to negotiate a long-term 

comprehensive solution to prevent Iran 

from acquiring a nuclear weapon and to 

ensure that Iran’s nuclear program will 

be exclusively peaceful. 

This Notice outlines the U.S. 

government 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: John Hughes, Office of 

Economic Sanctions Policy and 

Implementation, Department of State, 

Telephone: (202) 647–7489. 

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

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)). 

2 77 FR 67726–67731 (Nov. 13, 2012). 

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 the Office of 

Foreign Assets Control (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 pursuant to the JPOA 

as extended. 

All suspended sanctions are 

scheduled to resume on November 25, 

2014 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 described in this fact 

sheet should expect sanctions to apply 

to any activities that extend beyond the 

current end date of the Extended JPOA 

Period, November 24, 2014. The 

temporary suspension of sanctions 

applies only to activities that begin and 

end during the period January 20, 2014 

to November 24, 2014. 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 Iranian 

Transactions and Sanctions Regulations 

(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 November 24, 

2014, 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 U.S. government 

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.

following action:

me as Secretary of State, including 

through the applicable delegations of
