Background
On April 12, 2010, the President
issued Executive Order 13536,
‘‘Blocking Property of Certain Persons
Contributing to the Conflict in Somalia’’
(the ‘‘Order’’), pursuant to, inter alia,
the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–06). In the
Order, the President declared a national
emergency to address the deterioration
of the security situation and the
persistence of violence in Somalia and
acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea
off the coast of Somalia.
Section 1 of the Order blocks, with
certain exceptions, all property and
interests in property that are in the
United States, that come within the
PO 00000
Frm 00110
Fmt 4703

United States, or that are or come within
the possession or control of any United
States person, of persons listed in the
Annex to the Order and of persons
determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, to satisfy certain
criteria set forth in the Order. The
Annex to the Order lists eleven
individuals and one entity whose
property and interests in property are
blocked pursuant to the Order.
On July 29, 2011, the Director of
OFAC, in consultation with the
Secretary of State and other relevant
agencies, designated Omar Hammami as
an individual whose property and
interests in property are blocked
pursuant to the Order for acting or
purporting to act for or on behalf of,
directly or indirectly, al-Shabaab
pursuant to subsection 1(a)(ii)(E) of the
Order; for engaging in acts that directly
or indirectly threaten the peace,
security, or stability of Somalia
pursuant to subsections 1(a)(ii)(A)(1)
and (2) of the Order and for materially
assisting, sponsoring, or providing
financial, material, logistical, or
technical support for, or goods or
services in support of al-Shabaab
pursuant to subsection 1(a)(ii)(D) of the
Order.
Omar Hammami is one of AlShabaab’s key figures, who has
commanded guerilla forces in combat,
organized attacks, and plotted strategy
with Al Qaeda. Omar Hammami’s roles
in Al-Shabaab include those of a
military tactician, recruitment strategist
and financial manager.
Omar Hammami is featured in an AlShabaab video in which militia
members are shown training and
explicitly stating their allegiance to
Osama bin Laden, in what appeared to
be an attempt to increase recruiting
among Somalis, including Somali
´
´
emigres in the United States.
Omar Hammami was involved in
organizing a suicide bombing attack
carried out by a Somali-American from
Minnesota who traveled to Somalia to
join Al-Shabaab. That attack and four
others organized by Omar Hammami
and carried out on October 28, 2008,
killed more than 20 people.
Omar Hammami, a U.S. citizen, has
been indicted in the Southern District of
Alabama on a three-count indictment
for allegedly providing material support,
including himself as personnel, to
terrorists; conspiring to provide material
support to a designated foreign terrorist
organization, Al-Shabaab; and providing
material support to Al-Shabaab.
As a result of this designation, all
property and interests in property of
Omar Hammami that are or hereafter
E:\FR\FM\05AUN1.SGM
05AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 151 / Friday, August 5, 2011 / Notices
come within the United States or within
the possession or control of U.S.
persons, including their overseas
branches, are blocked. Blocked property
may not be transferred, sold or
otherwise dealt in without
authorization. Any transaction or
dealing by a U.S. person, or within the
United States, in any property or
interests in property of Omar Hammami
is prohibited unless authorized, as is
any transaction or dealing that evades or
avoids this prohibition. It is also
unlawful for any person to conspire to
violate, attempt to violate, or cause a
violation of this prohibition.
OFAC has discretion to issue licenses
authorizing specific transactions that are
otherwise prohibited by the Order. All
requests for specific licenses should be
made in writing to the Assistant
Director for Licensing, U.S. Department
of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets
Control, 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20220. Licensing

501.801–802 of the Reporting,

(‘‘RPPR’’), 31 CFR part 501. The RPPR

On April 12, 2010, the President issued Executive Order 13536,
``Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Conflict in
Somalia'' (the ``Order''), pursuant to, inter alia, the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-06). In the Order, the
President declared a national emergency to address the deterioration of
the security situation and the persistence of violence in Somalia and
acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia.
Section 1 of the Order blocks, with certain exceptions, all
property and interests in property that are in the United States, that
come within the United States, or that are or come within the
possession or control of any United States person, of persons listed in
the Annex to the Order and of persons determined by the Secretary of
the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to satisfy
certain criteria set forth in the Order. The Annex to the Order lists
eleven individuals and one entity whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to the Order.
On July 29, 2011, the Director of OFAC, in consultation with the
Secretary of State and other relevant agencies, designated Omar Hammami
as an individual whose property and interests in property are blocked
pursuant to the Order for acting or purporting to act for or on behalf
of, directly or indirectly, al-Shabaab pursuant to subsection
1(a)(ii)(E) of the Order; for engaging in acts that directly or
