national emergency declared by subsection (a) is in effect, the

Federation or a national of the Russian Federation has any interest.
    (c) Application of Other Provisions.--The provisions of the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), 
including the consultation and reporting requirements, regulatory 
authorities, and enforcement and savings provisions, shall apply to the 
national emergency declared under subsection (a) to the same extent as 
to a national emergency declared by the President and referred to in 
section 202 of that Act (50 U.S.C. 1701).
    (d) Transition of Oil in Transit.--The prohibition under subsection 
(b) shall not apply with respect to crude oil, petroleum, petroleum
