2. Section 126.1 is amended by revising paragraph (a) and adding paragraph (l) to read as follows:
§ 126.1 Prohibited exports and sales to certain countries.
(a) General. It is the policy of the United States to deny licenses and other approvals for exports and imports of defense articles and defense services, destined for or originating in certain countries. This policy applies to Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Venezuela. This policy also applies to countries with respect to which the United States maintains an arms embargo (e.g., Burma, China, Liberia, Somalia, and Sudan) or whenever an export would not otherwise be in furtherance of world peace and the security and foreign policy of the United States. Information regarding certain other embargoes appears elsewhere in this section. Comprehensive arms embargoes are normally the subject of a State Department notice published in the Federal Register. The exemptions provided in the regulations in this subchapter, except § 123.17 of this subchapter, do not apply with respect to articles originating in or for export to any proscribed countries, areas, or persons in this § 126.1. * * * * * (l) Vietnam. It is the policy of the United Sates to deny licenses, other approvals, exports or imports of defense articles and defense services destined for or originating in Vietnam except, on a case-by-case basis, for: (1) Non-lethal defense articles and defense services, and (2) Non-lethal, safety-of-use defense articles (e.g., cartridge actuated devices, propellant actuated devices and technical manuals for military aircraft for purposes of enhancing the safety of the aircraft crew) for lethal end-items.

Background The Sudanese Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 538 (the ‘‘SSR’’), were promulgated to implement Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997 (‘‘E.O. 13067’’), in which the President declared a national emergency with respect to the policies and actions of the
Government of Sudan. To deal with that emergency, E.O. 13067 imposed comprehensive trade sanctions with respect to Sudan and blocked all property and interests in property of the Government of Sudan in the United States or within the possession or control of United States persons. Subsequently, the President issued Executive Order 13412 of October 13, 2006 (‘‘E.O. 13412’’), to take additional steps with respect to the emergency declared in E.O. 13067. While it exempted specific areas of Sudan from certain prohibitions in E.O. 13067, E.O. 13412 continued the blocking of the Government of Sudan’s property and interests in property and imposed a prohibition on transactions relating to Sudan’s petroleum or petrochemical industries. E.O. 13412 also removed the regional government of Southern Sudan from the definition of the Government of Sudan. Existing § 538.516 of the SSR authorizes all transactions in connection with the importation into the United States from Sudan, or the exportation from the United States to Sudan, of diplomatic pouches and their contents. OFAC is amending this general license to expand the scope of authorized transactions relating to the importation and exportation of diplomatic pouches and their contents. Specifically, OFAC is revising § 538.516 of the SSR by redesignating the original section as § 538.516(a) and by adding a new paragraph (b). New § 538.516(b) authorizes the exportation or reexportation, directly or indirectly, from the United States or by a U.S. person, wherever located, of any goods or technology to a third-country government, or to its contractors or agents, for shipment to Sudan via a diplomatic pouch. In addition, § 538.516(b) clarifies that, to the extent necessary, the shipment by a thirdcountry government to Sudan of U.S.origin goods or technology in a diplomatic pouch is authorized. The Iranian Transactions Regulations, 31 CFR part 560 (the ‘‘ITR’’), implement a series of Executive orders, beginning with Executive Order 12957 of March 15, 1995, in which the President declared a national emergency with respect to the actions and policies of the Government of Iran. To deal with that threat, Executive Order 12957 imposed prohibitions on certain transactions with respect to the development of Iranian petroleum resources. On May 6, 1995, the President issued Executive Order 12959 imposing comprehensive trade sanctions to further respond to the threat, and on August 19, 1997, the President issued Executive Order 13059

consolidating and clarifying the previous orders. Existing § 560.521 of the ITR authorizes all transactions in connection with the importation into the United States from Iran, or the exportation from the United States to Iran, of diplomatic pouches and their contents. As with § 538.516 of the SSR, OFAC is revising § 560.521 of the ITR by re-designating the original section as § 560.521(a) and by adding a new paragraph (b). New § 560.521(b) authorizes the exportation, reexportation, sale, or supply, directly or indirectly, from the United States or by a U.S. person, wherever located, of any goods or technology to a thirdcountry government, or to its contractors or agents, for shipment to Iran via a diplomatic pouch. It also authorizes, to the extent necessary, the shipment by a third-country government to Iran of U.S.-origin goods or technology in a diplomatic pouch. Public Participation Because the amendments of the SSR and the ITR 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 apply. Paperwork Reduction Act The collections of information related to the SSR and the ITR 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.
