Background

    Appendices A and B to 31 CFR chapter V contain the names of blocked 
persons, specially designated nationals, specially designated 
terrorists, and specially designated narcotics traffickers designated 
pursuant to the various economic sanctions programs administered by the 
Office of Foreign Assets Control (``OFAC'') (62 FR 34934, June 27, 
1997). Pursuant to Executive Order 12978 of October 21, 1995, 
``Blocking Assets and Prohibiting Transactions with Significant 
Narcotics Traffickers'' (the ``Order'') and Sec. 536.312 of the 
Narcotics Trafficking Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR Part 536 (the 
``Regulations''), the following 6 individuals and 21 entities are added 
to the Appendices as persons who have been determined to play a 
significant role in international narcotics trafficking centered in 
Colombia or who have been determined to be owned or controlled by, or 
to act for or on behalf of, persons designated in or pursuant to the 
Order (collectively ``Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers'' or 
``SDNTs''). Any property subject to the jurisdiction of the United 
States in which an SDNT has an interest is blocked, and U.S. persons 
are prohibited from engaging in any transaction or in dealing in any 
property in which an SDNT has an interest.
    Designations of foreign persons blocked pursuant to the Order are 
effective upon the date of determination by the Director of the Office 
of Foreign Assets Control, acting under authority delegated by the 
Secretary of the Treasury. Public notice of blocking is effective upon 
the date of filing with the Federal Register, or upon prior actual 
notice.
    Because the Regulations involve a foreign affairs function, 
Executive Order 12866 and the provisions of the Administrative 
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, 
opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date, 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.
    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, and under the authority 
of 3 U.S.C. 301; 50 U.S.C. 1601-1641; 50 U.S.C. 1701-1706; E.O. 12978, 
60 FR 54579, 3 CFR, 1995 Comp., p. 415, appendices A and B to chapter V 
of 31 CFR are amended as set forth below:
    1. Appendices A and B to chapter V of 31 CFR are amended by adding 
the following names inserted in alphabetical order (1) in Appendix A, 
section I, and (2) under the heading ``Colombia'' in Appendix B:
