In Executive Order 12957 of March 15, 1995 (60 FR 14615, March 17,
1995), President Clinton declared a national emergency with respect to
the actions and policies of the Government of Iran and imposed
sanctions against Iran supplementing those imposed in 1987, invoking
the authority, inter alia, of the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701-06 (``IEEPA''). The President substantially
supplemented and amended those sanctions in Executive Order 12959 of
May 6, 1995 (60 FR 24757, May 9, 1995). In implementation of these
orders, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (``OFAC'') amended the
Iranian Transactions Regulations in September 1995 (the
``Regulations'') (60 FR 47061, September 11, 1995).
In Executive Order 13059 of August 19, 1997 (62 FR 44531, August
21, 1997), the President clarified the steps taken with respect to the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 12957 and expanded in
Executive Order 12959. In implementation of these orders, OFAC is
amending the Regulations.
Section 560.201 continues the prohibition on the importation into
the United States of goods or services of Iranian origin but indicates
that this includes goods or services owned or controlled by the
Government of Iran. Section 560.201 also conforms the exemption for
information and informational materials for import purposes to that
applicable under IEEPA for all other purposes.
Section 560.204 is revised to provide that any exportation,
reexportation, sale or supply of goods to Iran or the Government of
Iran from the United States, or by a U.S. person wherever located, is
prohibited. This includes any exportation, reexportation, sale or
supply of goods, services or technology from the United States or by a
U.S. person in a third country undertaken with knowledge or reason to
know that such goods, services or technology are intended specifically
for supply, transshipment or reexportation, directly or indirectly, to
Iran or the Government of Iran. Similarly, Sec. 560.204 prohibits any
exportation, reexportation, sale or supply of goods, services or
intended specifically for use in the production of, for commingling
with, or for incorporation into goods, technology or services to be
supplied, transshipped or reexported exclusively or predominantly to
Section 560.205 is amended to clarify that a person other than a
U.S. person is prohibited from knowingly reexporting U.S.-origin goods,
technology and services to Iran or the Government of Iran if those
goods, services or technology are subject to written license
application requirements by any U.S. Government agency imposed
independently of part 560, unless such U.S.-origin items have been
substantially transformed into a foreign-made product or the U.S.-
origin content meets the de minimis standard in that section. U.S.
persons remain subject to the prohibitions in Sec. 560.204, regardless
of the origin or type of item or the country from which it is shipped.
Section 560.206 amends the rules relating to dealings in goods or
services of Iranian origin or owned or controlled by the Government in
Iran and concerning dealings in goods, technology or services for
exportation, reexportation, sale or supply to Iran or the Government of
Iran. Section 560.208 is amended to provide that the approval,
facilitation, financing or guarantee by a U.S. person of any Iran-
related transaction by a foreign person is not permitted if the
transaction by the foreign person would be prohibited by this part if
performed by a U.S. person or within the United States. In addition,
Secs. 560.210(c) and (d) are amended to clarify rules relating to
informational materials and travel.
The effective dates of the prohibitions in this part are set out in
Sec. 560.301. Section 560.306 is revised to clarify the definitions of
the terms goods of Iranian origin and goods or services owned or
controlled by the Government of Iran. The definition of United States
depositary institution in Sec. 560.319 is revised to remove reference
to certain activities of banks that might draw into the definition non-
banking businesses that are not subject to federal or state regulation
as banks. Certain other revisions to existing definitions are made to
In subpart D, certain existing interpretive provisions are revised
and new interpretive sections are added. Section 560.403 is added to
make clear that the prohibitions in Secs. 560.204, 560.206 and 560.208
apply to export, reexport or supply transactions which require a
transshipment or transit of goods or technology through Iran to third
countries. Section 560.406 is revised to indicate that the prohibition
on importation in Sec. 560.201 includes, among other things,
importation into the United States, for transshipment or transit, of
goods owned or controlled by the Government of Iran destined for third
countries, and the prohibition on exportation in Sec. 560.204 includes,
among other things, the exportation from the United States, for
transshipment or transit, of goods intended or destined for the
Government of Iran, including entities owned or controlled by the
Government of Iran. Section 560.410 is revised to clarify the term
exportation or supply of services. Section 560.412 on extensions of
credit to Iran is amended to add a reference to standby letters of
credit. Section 560.414, which relates to reexportation of U.S.-origin
goods or technology, is amended to provide interpretation with respect
to Sec. 560.205.
Section 560.416 is added to provide examples of prohibited
brokering services. Section 560.417 on facilitation of transactions is
added to replace Sec. 560.516(d), which is removed. Section 560.418 is
added to deal with the release of technology to Iran or the Government
of Iran that may violate this part, and transfers of technology to
foreign nationals, including Iranian nationals, that may implicate
rules administered by the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department
of Commerce, or other agencies of the U.S. Government. Section 560.419
is added to deal with issues related to the U.S. employment of persons
normally located in Iran. Section 560.420 is added to interpret the de
minimis content rules contained in Sec. 560.205, which apply to
reexportations by foreign persons.
In subpart E, Sec. 560.501(d) is added to explain that specific
licenses issued pursuant to Executive Orders 12613, 12957 or 12959
continue in effect in accordance with their terms except to the extent
revoked, amended, or modified by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
Section 560.501(e) provides that certain exports, reexports or
transfers of goods, technology, or services, or the direct products of
technology, which are not prohibited by this part and which do not
require authorization by OFAC, may nonetheless require authorization by
the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State or other
agencies of the U.S. Government. Section 560.505 is amended to deal
with activities taken in connection with certain visa categories.
Section 560.509 is amended to clarify that the general license
relating to protection of patents, trademarks and copyrights extends to
the importation of Iranian-origin services, payment for such services,
and payment to persons in Iran in connection with such intellectual
Section 560.511 is added to create an ``insubstantial content''
exception to the prohibitions in Sec. 560.204. As noted, Sec. 560.204
prohibits the knowing exportation, reexportation, sale or supply of
goods, services or technology from the United States, or by U.S.
persons wherever located, to third countries for incorporation or
substantial transformation into items destined for Iran or the
Government of Iran. Section 560.511 creates an exception to this rule,
authorizing such ``knowing'' supply by U.S. persons or from the United
States under certain circumstances: Such ``knowing'' supply is
authorized under Sec. 560.511 when (1) the items being exported,
reexported or supplied for substantial transformation or incorporation
abroad do not require authorization for exportation or reexportation by
another agency of the U.S. Government; (2) the U.S.-origin items do not
exceed the content levels specified in Sec. 560.511(a)(2); (3) the
foreign-made end product is not destined to end uses or end users
prohibited under regulations administered by other U.S. Government
agencies (Sec. 560.511(d)); and (4) the foreign-made end product is not
intended for use in the Iranian petroleum or petrochemical industry
(Sec. 560.511(e)). The authorization in Sec. 560.511(a) is not
available if the foreign-made end product is of a type which other U.S.
Government agencies make ineligible for de minimis U.S.-origin content.
More generally, export control rules administered by other agencies of
the U.S. Government may prohibit an exportation or supply otherwise
authorized by Sec. 560.511.
A general license is added in Sec. 560.529 to authorize the
provision of goods or services in the United States to a non-Iranian
carrier transporting passengers or goods to or from Iran if they are
bunkers or bunkering services, are supplied in the course of emergency
repairs, or are supplied under circumstances which could not be
anticipated prior to the carrier's departure for the United States.
Technical changes or new text also appear at the following
sections, among others: Secs. 560.207, 560.308, 560.315, 560.412,
560.506, 560.515, 560.516, and 560.523. The prior Sec. 560.411
concerning offshore transactions in Iranian-origin goods and services
has been removed and reserved because its content, as modified to
accord with Executive Order 13059, is covered in Sec. 560.206.
Section 560.318 is removed and reserved.
An appendix is added to provide the names of financial institutions
deemed by OFAC to be entities owned or controlled by the Government of
Iran. This list, with minor modifications, duplicates the list
promulgated as an annex to General License No. 3 on June 6, 1995 (see
60 FR 40883, August 10, 1995).
Because the Regulations involve a foreign affairs function,
Executive Order 12866 and the provisions of 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

Note to Sec. 560.205. The reexportation of U.S.-origin goods or
technology, including U.S.-origin goods or technology that have been
incorporated or substantially transformed into a foreign-made
product, not prohibited by this section, may require authorization

goods (including software) or that technology have been
substantially transformed or incorporated into a foreign-made end
product which is destined to end uses or end users prohibited under
regulations administered by other U.S. Government agencies. See,
e.g., the Export Administration Regulations (31 CFR 736.2(b)(5),
744.2, 744.3, 744.4, 744.7, and 744.10); International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (22 CFR 123.9).

3. The provisions of Sec. 560.205 and this section apply only to
persons other than United States persons.
Subpart E--Licenses, Authorizations and Statements of Licensing
26. Section 560.501 is amended by adding paragraphs (d) and (e) to

Time, August 20, 1997, continue in effect in accordance with their
terms except to the extent specifically revoked, amended, or modified
by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
(e) Nothing contained in this part shall be construed to supersede
the requirements established under any other provision of law or to
relieve a person from any requirement to obtain a license or other
authorization from another department or agency of the U.S. Government
in compliance with applicable laws and regulations subject to the
jurisdiction of that department or agency. For example, exports of
goods, services, or technical data which are not prohibited by this
part or which do not require a license by the Office of Foreign Assets
Control, nevertheless may require authorization by the U.S. Department
of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State or other agencies of the U.S.

(c) Persons otherwise qualified for a visa under categories E-2 (treaty investor), H-1b (temporary worker), or L (intra-company transferee) and all immigrant visa categories are authorized to carry out in the United States those activities for which such a visa has been granted by the U.S. State Department, provided that the persons are not coming to the United States to work as an agent, employee or contractor of the Government of Iran or a business entity or other organization in Iran.
28. Section 560.506 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 560.506  Importation and exportation of certain gifts authorized.
The importation into the United States of Iranian-origin goods from
Iran or a third country, and the exportation from the United States to
Iran of goods, are authorized for goods sent as gifts to persons
provided that the value of the gift is not more than $100; the goods
are of a type and in quantities normally given as gifts between
individuals; and the goods are not controlled for chemical and
biological weapons (CB), missile technology (MT), national security
(NS), or nuclear proliferation (NP). See Commerce Control List, Export

patent, trademark, copyright or other form of intellectual property
protection, including importation of or dealing in Iranian-origin
services, payment for such services, and payment to persons in Iran
directly connected to such intellectual property protection;
30. Section 560.511 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 560.511  Exportation or supply of insubstantial United States
content for use in foreign-made products or technology.
notwithstanding the prohibitions in Sec. 560.204, the exportation or
supply of goods or technology from the United States, or by a United
States person wherever located, for substantial transformation or
incorporation into a foreign-made end product in a country other than
the United States or Iran, intended specifically or predominantly for
Iran or the Government of Iran, is permitted under this part where the
exporter has ascertained that all of the following are the case:
(1) The U.S.-origin goods or technology being exported for
substantial transformation or incorporation abroad were not subject to
export license application requirements under any United States
regulations in effect on May 6, 1995, or were not thereafter made
subject to such regulations imposed independently of this part;

goods (including software) and technology, the aggregate value of all
U.S.-origin goods (including software) and technology contained in the
foreign-made end product is less than 10 percent of the total value of
the foreign-made product;
(3) The foreign-made end product is not destined to end uses or end
users prohibited under regulations administered by other U.S.
Government agencies. See, e.g., the Export Administration Regulations
(31 CFR 736.2(b)(5), 744.2, 744.3, 744.4, 744.7, and 744.10);
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR 123.9);
(4) The foreign-made end product is not intended for use in the
Iranian petroleum or petrochemical industry. For this purpose, products
include not only products uniquely suited for use in those industries,
such as oilfield services equipment, but also goods and technology for
use in products, such as computers, office equipment, construction
equipment, or building materials, which are suitable for use in other
industries but which are intended specifically for use in the petroleum
or petrochemical industries.
(b) The authorization contained in this section is not available if
the foreign-made end product is of a type which other U.S. Government
agencies make ineligible for de minimis U.S.-origin content. See, e.g.,
the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR 734.4(a) and (b));
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR 123.9).
Note to Sec. 560.511. An exportation authorized by this section
may nevertheless require authorization by the U.S. Department of
31. Paragraph (d) of Sec. 560.515 removed, and paragraph (a) is

contracts involving Iran.

contract entered into prior to May 7, 1995, and involving Iran (a pre-
existing trade contract), including the exportation of goods, services
(including financial services), or technology from the United States
that was authorized pursuant to Federal regulations in force

12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, June 6, 1995, and all other activity
by U.S. persons that is necessary and incidental to the performance of
the pre-existing trade contract (other than payment under a financing

August 6, 1995; or
(2) All obligations under a pre-existing trade contract (other than
payment under a financing contract) must be fully completed prior to
12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, June 6, 1995, if the pre-existing
trade contract is for one of the following:
(i) The exportation of services from the United States benefitting
a person in Iran or the Government of Iran;
(ii) The reexportation of goods or technology to Iran, the
Government of Iran, or an entity owned or controlled by the Government

32. Section 560.516 is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(3),
(a)(4), and (b) to read as follows:
Sec. 560.516  Payment and United States dollar clearing transactions
(3) The transfer arises from an underlying transaction that is not
prohibited by this part, such as a non-commercial remittance to or from
Iran (e.g., a family remittance not related to a family-owned
enterprise); a U.S.-
related commercial transfer not prohibited by this part (see, e.g.,
Sec. 560.515(b)); or a third-country transaction not prohibited by this

informational materials, a travel-related remittance, or payment for
the shipment of a donation of articles to relieve human suffering.

payment on behalf of any customer, or credits a transfer to the account
on its books of the ultimate beneficiary, the United States depository
institution must determine that the underlying transaction is not
prohibited by this part.
