Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 31, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 50313 

have evaluated this rule under the 

Department’s consultation policy and 

have identified substantial direct effects 

on federally recognized Indian Tribes 

that will result from this rule. This rule 

will relieve a regulatory burden from 

Tribes and allow time for consultation 

on an appropriate replacement or 

deletion of regulatory requirements. 

I. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule contains information 

collection requirements, and the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) has 

approved the information collections 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA) under OMB Control Number 

1076–0161, which expires December 31, 

2019. Please note that an agency may 

not sponsor or request, and an 

individual need not respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a valid OMB Control Number. 

J. National Environmental Policy Act 

This rulemaking does not constitute a 

major Federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment because it is of an 

administrative, technical, and 

procedural nature. It is therefore subject 

to categorical exclusion, see 43 CFR 

46.210(i), and no extraordinary 

circumstances exist, see 43 CFR 46.215. 

K. Effects on the Energy Supply (E.O. 

13211) 

This rulemaking is not a significant 

energy action under the definition in 

E.O. 13211. A Statement of Energy 

Effects is not required. 

L. Clarity of This Regulation 

We are required by Executive Orders 

12866 (section 1(b)(12)), and 12988 

(section 3(b)(1)(B)), and 13563 (section 

1(a)), and by the Presidential 

Memorandum of June 1, 1998, to write 

all rules in plain language. This means 

that each rule we publish must: 

(a) Be logically organized; 

(b) Use the active voice to address 

readers directly; 

(c) Use common, everyday words and 

clear language rather than jargon; 

(d) Be divided into short sections and 

sentences; and 

(e) Use lists and tables wherever 

possible. 

If you feel that we have not met these 

requirements, send us comments by one 

of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES

section. To better help us revise the 

rule, your comments should be as 

specific as possible. For example, you 

should tell us the numbers of the 

sections or paragraphs that you find 

unclear, which sections or sentences are 

too long, the sections where you think 

lists or tables would be useful, etc. 

M. E.O. 13771: Reducing Regulation and 

Controlling Regulatory Costs 

This rule is not an E.O. 13771 

regulatory action because this rule is not 

significant under E.O. 12866.

Global Terrorism Sanctions 

Regulations 

AGENCY: Office of Foreign Assets 

Control, Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets 

Control (OFAC) is amending the Global 

Terrorism Sanctions Regulations 

pursuant to a provision of the 

Countering America’s Adversaries 

Through Sanctions Act of 2017. This 

provision requires the imposition of 

certain terrorism-related sanctions with 

respect to foreign persons that are 

officials, agents, or affiliates of Iran’s 

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. 

DATES: Effective: October 31, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Electronic Availability 

This document and additional 

information concerning OFAC are 

available from OFAC’s Web site 

(www.treasury.gov/ofac). 

Background 

On June 6, 2003, OFAC issued the 

Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, 

31 CFR part 594 (the ‘‘Regulations’’) (68 

FR 34196, June 6, 2003), to implement 

Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 

2001 (66 FR 49079, September 25, 2001) 

(E.O. 13224). OFAC has amended the 

Regulations on several occasions. 

Today, OFAC is amending the 

Regulations pursuant to section 105 of 

the Countering America’s Adversaries 

Through Sanctions Act of 2017, Public 

Law 115–44, Aug. 2, 2017, 131 Stat. 886 

(22 U.S.C. 9401 et seq.) (CAATSA). 

CAATSA. The President signed 

CAATSA into law on August 2, 2017. 

Section 105 of CAATSA requires the 

President to impose the sanctions 

applicable with respect to a foreign 

person pursuant to E.O. 13224 on Iran’s 

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps 

(IRGC) and foreign persons that are 

officials, agents, or affiliates of the IRGC. 

Such sanctions must be imposed 

beginning on the date that is 90 days 

after enactment of CAATSA, which is 

October 31, 2017. Section 111(b) of 

CAATSA provides that the President 

may exercise all authorities provided 

under sections 203 and 205 of the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1702 and 1704) 

to carry out the purposes of CAATSA. 

Pursuant to Presidential 

Memorandum of October 11, 2017: 

Delegation of Certain Functions and 

Authorities under the Countering 

America’s Adversaries Through 

Sanctions Act of 2017, the President 

delegated to the Secretary of State and 

the Secretary of the Treasury the 

functions and authorities vested in the 

President by section 105(b) of CAATSA 


ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with RULES
50314 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 31, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

to be exercised in consultation with 

each other and commensurate with their 

respective areas of responsibility set 

forth in previous Presidential actions 

under the International Emergency 

Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et 

seq.), including E.O. 13224, and the 

functions and authorities set forth in 

section 111(b) of CAATSA to be 

exercised commensurate with their 

respective areas of responsibility set 

forth in the delegation memorandum. 

Sanctions applicable with respect to a 

foreign person pursuant to E.O. 13224. 

E.O. 13224 blocks and prohibits all 

transactions in, with certain exceptions, 

all property and interests in property of 

foreign persons listed in the Annex to 

E.O. 13224 or persons designated 

pursuant to criteria set forth in that 

order by the Secretary of State or the 

Secretary of the Treasury. On October 

13, 2017, OFAC designated the IRGC 

pursuant to E.O. 13224 and consistent 

with the CAATSA for its activities in 

support of the IRGC-Qods Force (82 FR 

48591, October 18, 2017), which was 

designated pursuant to E.O. 13224 on 

October 25, 2007 (72 FR 65837, 

November 23, 2007). 

Regulatory action. OFAC is taking this 

regulatory action pursuant to section 

105(b) of CAATSA to extend the 

sanctions applicable pursuant to E.O. 

13224 to foreign persons that are 

officials, agents, or affiliates of the IRGC. 

Subpart B of the Regulations currently 

implements the prohibitions contained 

in E.O. 13224. See, e.g., §§ 594.201 and 

594.204. With this rule, OFAC is adding 

§ 594.201(a)(5) to Subpart B of the 

Regulations to include the following as 

persons whose property and interests in 

property are blocked pursuant to the 

Regulations: Foreign persons that are 

identified on the Specially Designated 

Nationals and Blocked Persons List 

(SDN List) maintained by OFAC as 

officials, agents, or affiliates of the IRGC. 

The names of persons whose property 

and interests in property are blocked 

pursuant to § 594.201(a) are published 

in the Federal Register and 

incorporated into OFAC’s SDN List with 

the identifier ‘‘[SDGT].’’ Persons who 

have been identified by OFAC as 

officials, agents, or affiliates of the IRGC 

are identified by a special reference to 

the ‘‘IRGC’’ at the end of their entries on 

the SDN List, in addition to the 

reference to this part. For example, an 

affiliate of the IRGC whose property and 

interests in property are blocked 

pursuant to this part will have the 

program tags ‘‘[SDGT][IRGC]’’ at the end 

of its entry on the SDN List. In addition, 

OFAC is amending the delegation 

provision in § 594.802. 

Public Participation 

Because the Regulations involve a 

foreign affairs function, the provisions 

of Executive Order 12866 and the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553) requiring notice of proposed 

rulemaking, opportunity for public 

participation, and delay in effective 

date, as well as the provisions of 

Executive Order 13771, 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. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The collections of information related 

to the Regulations are contained in 31 

CFR part 501 (the ‘‘Reporting, 

Procedures and Penalties Regulations’’). 

Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), those 

collections of information have been 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget under control number 1505– 

0164. 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 control number.

drawbridge regulation. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule that governs the 3rd Street 

Drawbridge across China Basin, mile 0.0 

at San Francisco, CA. The deviation is 

necessary to allow participants to cross 

the bridge during the Leukemia 

Lymphoma Society Light the Night 

Walk. This deviation allows the bridge 

to remain in the closed-to-navigation 

position during the deviation period. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on November 16, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City 

of San Francisco has requested a 

temporary change to the operation of the 

3rd Street Drawbridge over China Basin, 

mile 0.0, at San Francisco, CA. The 

drawbridge navigation span provides a 

vertical clearance of 3 feet above Mean 

High Water in the closed-to-navigation 

position. The draw opens on signal if at 

least one hour notice is given, as 

required by 33 CFR 117.149. Navigation 

on the waterway is recreational. 

The drawspan will be secured in the 

closed-to-navigation position from 6 

p.m. to 9 p.m. on November 16, 2017, 

to allow participants to cross the bridge 

during the Leukemia Lymphoma 

Society Light the Night Walk. This 

temporary deviation has been 

coordinated with the waterway users. 

No objections to the proposed 

temporary deviation were raised. 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed position may do so 

at anytime. The bridge will be able to 

open for emergencies and there is no 

immediate alternate route for vessels to 

pass. The Coast Guard will also inform 

the users of the waterway through our 

Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners 

of the change in operating schedule for 

the bridge so that vessel operators can 

arrange their transits to minimize any 

impact caused by the temporary 

deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment pursuant to 

authority under section 4(a) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because doing 

so would be impracticable and contrary 

to the public interest. Immediate action 

is needed to respond to the potential 

safety hazards associated with a boat 

parade. The Coast Guard received 

information on October 5, 2017 

regarding the operations beginning on 

November 25, 2017. The operation 

would begin before the rulemaking 

process would be completed. Because of 

the dangers posed by the parade, the 

safety zone is necessary to provide for 

the safety of persons, vessels, and the 

marine environment in the event area. 

Therefore, it is impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest to delay 

promulgating this rule, as it is necessary 

to protect the safety of waterway users. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date of 

this rule would be impracticable 

because immediate action is needed to 

respond to the potential safety hazards 

associated with the boat parade.
