SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Electronic and Facsimile Availability This document and additional information concerning the Office of Foreign Assets Control (‘‘OFAC’’) are available from OFAC’s Web site (http://www.treas.gov/ofac) or via facsimile through a 24-hour fax-on demand service, tel.: (202) 622–0077. Background OFAC administers three sanctions programs with respect to terrorists and terrorist organizations. The Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 595 (‘‘TSR’’), implement Executive Order 12947 of January 23, 1995, in which the President declared a national emergency with respect to ‘‘grave acts of violence committed by foreign terrorists that disrupt the Middle East peace process * * *’’ The Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 594 (‘‘GTSR’’), implement Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, in which the President declared an emergency more generally with respect to ‘‘grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists * * *’’ The Foreign Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 597 (‘‘FTOSR’’), implement provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. HAMAS is a target of each of these sanctions programs, resulting in the blocking of its property and interests in property that are in the United States or within the possession or control of a U.S. person. In the case of the FTOSR, U.S. financial institutions are required to retain possession or control of any funds of HAMAS and report the existence of such funds to Treasury. These restrictions effectively prohibit U.S. persons from dealing in property or interests in property of HAMAS. Following the 2006 parliamentary
10. Add a new § 538.532 to read as follows:
§ 538.532 Humanitarian transshipments to or from Southern Sudan and Darfur authorized.
The transit or transshipment to or from Southern Sudan and Darfur of goods, technology, or services intended for humanitarian purposes, through any area of Sudan not exempted by paragraph (g)(1) of § 538.212, is authorized.

elections in the West Bank and Gaza, which resulted in HAMAS members forming the majority party within the Palestinian Legislative Council and holding positions of authority within the government, OFAC determined that HAMAS had a property interest in the transactions of the Palestinian Authority. That determination remains in place. Accordingly, pursuant to the TSR, the GTSR, and the FTOSR, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions with the Palestinian Authority unless authorized. On April 12, 2006, OFAC issued six general licenses authorizing U.S. persons to engage in certain transactions in which the Palestinian Authority may have an interest. Based on foreign policy considerations resulting from recent events in the West Bank and Gaza, including the appointment of Salam Fayyad as the new Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority and of other ministers not affiliated with HAMAS, OFAC is revising the TSR, GTSR, and FTOSR to add a new general license as TSR § 595.514, GTSR § 594.516, and FTOSR § 597.512. Paragraph (a) of new §§ 595.514, 594.516, and 597.512 authorizes U.S. persons to engage in all transactions with the Palestinian Authority. Paragraph (b) of these sections defines the term Palestinian Authority, for purposes of the authorization in paragraph (a), as the Palestinian Authority government of Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and President Mahmoud Abbas, including all branches, ministries, offices, and agencies (independent or otherwise) thereof. Transactions with HAMAS, or in any property in which HAMAS has an interest, not covered by the general license remain prohibited. Public Participation Because the amendment of 31 CFR parts 594, 595, and 597 involves 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, 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 31 CFR parts 594, 595, and 597 are contained in 31 CFR part 501 (the ‘‘Reporting, Procedures and Penalties Regulations’’). Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is creating a temporary security zone in the waters of Nawiliwili Harbor, Kauai, and on the land of the jetty south of Nawiliwili Park, including the jetty access road commonly known as Jetty Road. This zone is intended to enable the Coast Guard and its law enforcement partners to better protect people, vessels, and facilities in and around Nawiliwili Harbor in the face of non-compliant obstructers who have impeded, and threaten to continue impeding, the safe passage of the Hawaii Superferry in Nawiliwili Harbor. This rule complements, but does not replace or supersede, existing regulations that establish a moving 100-yard security zone around large passenger vessels like the Hawaii Superferry. DATES: This rule is effective from November 1, 2007, through November 30, 2007. ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket are part of docket CGD14–07– 002 and are available for inspection and copying at U.S. Coast Guard District 14, Room 9–130, PJKK Federal Building, 300 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, Hawaii 96850 between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Sean Fahey, U.S. Coast Guard District 14 at (808) 541–2106. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
