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 Protecting Europe’s Energy

the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 

116–283) (PEESA), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, 

I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, in 

order to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared 

in Executive Order 14024 of April 15, 2021 (Blocking Property With Respect 

To Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian 

Federation), hereby order: 

Section 1. (a) With respect to any foreign person identified by the Secretary 

of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, in a report 

to the Congress pursuant to section 7503(a)(1)(B) of PEESA, all property 

and interests in property of such person 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 are blocked 

and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt 

in. 

(b) Sanctions under subsection (a) of this section shall not apply to any 

foreign person with respect to whom a waiver under section 7503(f) of 

PEESA has been issued. 

(c) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section apply except to 

the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or 

licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding 

any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the 

date of this order. 

Sec. 2. The Secretary of State shall implement section 7503(b) of PEESA 

as it applies to visas, and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall implement 

section 7503(b) of PEESA as it applies to admission and parole. Such implementation shall be consistent with any exceptions or waivers provided by 

statute, or in regulations, orders, or directives that may be issued pursuant 

to this order. 

Sec. 3. The prohibitions in section 1 of this order 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. 4. (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. 5. 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 Executive Order 14024, and 

I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order. 

Sec. 6. For the purposes of this order: 

(a) the term ‘‘entity’’ means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, 

corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; 

(b) the term ‘‘foreign person’’ means an individual or entity that is not 

a United States person; 

(c) the term ‘‘person’’ means an individual or entity; and 

(d) the term ‘‘United States person’’ means any United States citizen, 

lawful permanent resident, 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 Executive Order 14024, there need be 

no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 

1 of this order. 

Sec. 8. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary 

of State, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including the promulgation 

of rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the President 

by IEEPA and PEESA, as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of 

this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may, consistent with applicable 

law, redelegate any of these functions within the Department of the Treasury. 

All departments and agencies of the United States shall take all appropriate 

measures within their authority to carry out the provisions of this order. 

Sec. 9. Nothing in this order shall prohibit transactions for the conduct 

of the official business of the Federal Government or the United Nations, 

including its programs, funds, and other entities and bodies, as well as 

its specialized agencies and related organizations, by employees, grantees, 

and contractors thereof. 

Sec. 10. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise 

affect: 

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, 

or the head thereof; or 

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 

relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. 

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and 

subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit,
