Background

    On February 5, 2012, the President issued Executive Order 13599, 
``Blocking Property of the Government of Iran and Iranian Financial 
Institutions'' (the ``Order''). Section 1 (a) of the Order blocks, with 
certain exceptions, all property and interests in property of the 
Government of Iran, including the Central Bank of Iran, that are in the 
United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that 
are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United 
States person, including any foreign branch.
    Section 1(c) of the Order blocks, with certain exceptions, all 
property and interests in property that are in the United States, that 
hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come 
within the possession or control of any United States person, including 
any foreign branch, of the following persons: any person determined by 
the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of 
State, to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to 
act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose 
property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to the Order.
    Section 7(d) of the Order defines the term ``Government of Iran'' 
to mean the Government of Iran, any political subdivision, agency, or 
instrumentality thereof, including the Central Bank of Iran, and any 
person owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, the 
Government of Iran.
    Section 560.211 of the ITSR implements Section 1(a) and (c) of the 
Order. Section 560.304 defines the term ``Government of Iran'' to 
include: ``(a) The state and the Government of Iran, as well as any 
political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, including 
the Central Bank of Iran; (b) Any person owned or controlled, directly 
or indirectly, by the foregoing; and (c) Any person to the extent that 
such person is, or has been, since the effective date, acting or 
purporting to act, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any of 
the foregoing; and (d) Any other person determined by the Office of 
Foreign Assets Control to be included within [(a) through (c)].''

[[Page 12421]]

Section 560.313 of the ITSR further defines an ``entity owned or 
controlled by the Government of Iran'' to include ``any corporation, 
partnership, association, or other entity in which the Government of 
Iran owns a 50 percent or greater interest or a controlling interest, 
and any entity which is otherwise controlled by that government.''
    On February 6, 2013, the Director of OFAC, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, identified thirty-seven vessels as the property of 
the Government of Iran pursuant to the Order and the ITSR, and updated 
the entries on OFAC's list of Specially Designated Nationals and 
Blocked Persons to identify new names or other information given to 
those vessels.
