Final rule; correction.
The Food and Drug

provided incorrect publication
information regarding a 60-day notice
that announced the availability of an
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed collection of certain
information by FDA pertaining to the
final rule. This document corrects this
error. Elsewhere in this issue of the

Background
ˆ
OFAC administers the Cote d’Ivoire
Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 543
(the ‘‘CDISR’’), the Darfur Sanctions
Regulations, 31 CFR part 546 (the
‘‘DSR’’), and the Democratic Republic of
the Congo Sanctions Regulations, 31
CFR part 547 (the ‘‘DRCSR’’), which
implement Executive Order 13396 of
February 7, 2006, ‘‘Blocking Property of
Certain Persons Contributing to the
ˆ
Conflict in Cote d’Ivoire’’ (71 FR 7389,
February 10, 2006) (‘‘E.O. 13396’’),
Executive Order 13400 of April 26,
2006, ‘‘Blocking Property of Persons in
Connection With the Conflict in Sudan’s
Darfur Region’’ (71 FR 25483, May 1,
2006) (‘‘E.O. 13400’’), and Executive
Order 13413 of October 27, 2006,
‘‘Blocking Property of Certain Persons
Contributing to the Conflict in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo’’ (71
FR 64105, October 31, 2006) (‘‘E.O.
13413’’), respectively.
Providing ‘‘financial, material, or
technological support’’ for the activities
described in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through
(a)(2)(iv) of section 543.201 of the
CDISR, paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through
(a)(2)(vi) of section 546.201 of the DSR,
and paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through (a)(2)(v)
of section 547.201 of the DRCSR, or for
any person whose property and interests
in property are blocked under these
regulations, constitutes one of the
criteria in these regulations for
designation as a person whose property
and interests in property are blocked.
In particular, paragraph (a)(2)(v) of
section 543.201 of the CDISR
implements section 1(a)(ii)(E) of E.O.
13396 by blocking the property and

interests in property of persons
determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury, after consultation with the
Secretary of State, to have materially
assisted, sponsored, or provided
financial, material, or technological
support for, or goods or services in
support of, the activities described in
paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through (a)(2)(iv) of
section 543.201 or any person whose
property and interests in property are
blocked pursuant to paragraph (a) of
section 543.201.
Similarly, paragraph (a)(2)(vii) of
section 546.201 of the DSR implements
section 1(a)(ii)(G) of E.O. 13400 by
blocking the property and interests in
property of persons determined by the
Secretary of the Treasury, after
consultation with the Secretary of State,
to have materially assisted, sponsored,
or provided financial, material, or
technological support for, or goods or
services in support of, the activities
described in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through
(a)(2)(vi) of section 546.201 or any
person whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to
paragraph (a) of section 546.201.
Finally, paragraph (a)(2)(vi) of section
547.201 of the DRCSR implements
section 1(a)(ii)(F) of E.O. 13413 by
blocking the property and interests in
property of persons determined by the
Secretary of the Treasury, after
consultation with the Secretary of State,
to have materially assisted, sponsored,
or provided financial, material, or
technological support for, or goods or
services in support of, the activities
described in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through
(a)(2)(v) of section 547.201 or any
person whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to
paragraph (a) of section 547.201.
OFAC today is amending the CDISR,
the DSR, and the DRCSR, to define the
term ‘‘financial, material, or
technological support,’’ as used in these
regulations. New sections 543.313 in
subpart C of the CDISR, 546.313 in
subpart C of the DSR, and 547.313 in
subpart C of the DRCSR define the term
‘‘financial, material, or technological
support’’ to mean any property, tangible
or intangible, and include a list of
specific examples.
Public Participation
Because the amendment of 31 CFR
part 543, 31 CFR part 546, and 31 CFR
part 547 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
PO 00000
Frm 00002

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 part 543, 31 CFR part 546,
and 31 CFR part 547 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.

part 546 (the ``DSR''), and the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Executive Order 13396 of February 7, 2006, ``Blocking Property of
Certain Persons Contributing to the Conflict in C[ocirc]te d'Ivoire''
(71 FR 7389, February 10, 2006) (``E.O. 13396''), Executive Order 13400
of April 26, 2006, ``Blocking Property of Persons in Connection With

constitutes one of the criteria in these regulations for designation as
a person whose property and interests in property are blocked.
In particular, paragraph (a)(2)(v) of section 543.201 of the CDISR
implements section 1(a)(ii)(E) of E.O. 13396 by blocking the property
and interests in property of persons determined by the Secretary of the

section 543.201 or any person whose property and interests in property
are blocked pursuant to paragraph (a) of section 543.201.
Similarly, paragraph (a)(2)(vii) of section 546.201 of the DSR
implements section 1(a)(ii)(G) of E.O. 13400 by blocking the property
and interests in property of persons determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of State, to have
materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or
technological support for, or goods or services in support of, the
activities described in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through (a)(2)(vi) of
section 546.201 or any person whose property and interests in property
are blocked pursuant to paragraph (a) of section 546.201.
Finally, paragraph (a)(2)(vi) of section 547.201 of the DRCSR
implements section 1(a)(ii)(F) of E.O. 13413 by blocking the property
and interests in property of persons determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of State, to have
materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or
technological support for, or goods or services in support of, the
activities described in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) through (a)(2)(v) of
section 547.201 or any person whose property and interests in property
are blocked pursuant to paragraph (a) of section 547.201.
OFAC today is amending the CDISR, the DSR, and the DRCSR, to define
the term ``financial, material, or technological support,'' as used in
these regulations. New sections 543.313 in subpart C of the CDISR,
546.313 in subpart C of the DSR, and 547.313 in subpart C of the DRCSR
define the term ``financial, material, or technological support'' to
mean any property, tangible or intangible, and include a list of
specific examples.
Public Participation
Because the amendment of 31 CFR part 543, 31 CFR part 546, and 31
CFR part 547 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 part 543, 31 CFR
part 546, and 31 CFR part 547 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.
