SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: OFAC Application for the 

Release of Blocked Funds. 

Agency Form Number: TD–F 90–

22.54. 

OMB Number: 1505–0170. 

Abstract: Transactions prohibited 

pursuant to the Trading With the Enemy 

Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1–44, the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701, and similar 

authorities may be authorized by means 

of specific licenses issued by the Office 

of Foreign Assets Control (‘‘OFAC’’). 

Such licenses are issued in response to 

applications submitted by persons or 

institutions whose property has been 

blocked or who wish to engage in 

transactions that would otherwise be 

prohibited. Form TD–F 90–22.54, which 

provides a standardized method for all 

applicants seeking the unblocking of 

funds transfers, is available in electronic 

format on OFAC’s website. Use of the 

form greatly facilitates and speeds these 

applicants’ submissions and OFAC’s 

processing of such applications while 

simultaneously obviating the need for 

applicants to write lengthy letters to 

OFAC, thus reducing the overall burden 

of the application process. Since 

February 2000, use of the form to apply 

for the unblocking of funds transfers has 

been mandatory pursuant to a revision 

in OFAC’s regulations at 31 CFR 

501.801. See 65 FR 10708, February 29, 

2000. 

Current Actions: There are no changes 

being made to the form at this time. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals/ 

businesses and other for-profit 

institutions/banking institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,000. 

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 30 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,500. 

The following paragraph applies to all 

of the collections of information covered 

by this notice: 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid Office of Management 

and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) control number. 

Books or records relating to a collection 

of information must be retained for five 

years. 

Request for Comments

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB

invited on: (a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information has practical utility; (b) the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the collection of information; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; (d) ways to minimize the

on respondents, including through the
