Background On March 6, 2003, the President, invoking the authority of, inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–06) (‘‘IEEPA’’) issued Executive Order 13288 (68 FR 11457, March 10, 2003). In Executive Order 13288, the President declared a national emergency to deal with the threat posed by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe’s democratic processes or institutions, contributing to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Zimbabwe, to politically motivated violence and intimidation in that country, and to political and economic instability in the southern African region. The Annex to Executive Order 13288 included 77 individuals, including five of the eight individuals identified in this notice, which resulted in the blocking of all property and interests in property of these individuals that was or thereafter came within the United States or the possession or control of U.S. persons. Executive Order 13288 also authorized the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to designate additional persons determined to meet the criteria set forth in Executive Order 13288. On November 22, 2005, in order to take additional steps with respect to the continued actions and policies of certain persons who undermine Zimbabwe’s democratic processes and with respect to the national emergency described and declared in Executive Order 13288, the President, invoking the authority of, inter alia, IEEPA, issued Executive Order 13391 (70 FR 71201, November 25, 2005). Executive Order 13391 amends Executive Order 13288 and provides that the Annex to Executive Order 13288 is replaced and superseded in its entirety by the Annex to Executive Order 13391, containing the names of 128 individuals and 33 entities, including the eight individuals and one entity identified in this notice. Executive Order 13288, as amended by Executive Order 13391, authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to block the property and interests in property of additional categories of persons beyond the category set forth in Executive Order 13288 prior to its amendment.

On May 2, 2013, the Director of OFAC, in consultation with the State Department, determined that circumstances no longer warrant the inclusion of the individuals and entity listed below in the Annex to Executive Order 13288, as replaced and superseded by the Annex to Executive Order 13391, and that the property and interests in property of the individuals and entity listed below are therefore no longer blocked pursuant to section 1(a) of Executive Order 13288, as amended by Executive Order 13391, and accordingly removed them from the SDN List.

AGENCY: On April 25, 2013, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (‘‘OFAC’’) published a notice in the Federal Register announcing the removal of one individual whose property and interests in property were blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13572 of April 29, 2011, ‘‘Blocking Property of Certain Persons with Respect to Human Rights Abuses in Syria’’ from the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (‘‘SDN List’’). In the notice, however, OFAC incorrectly described the individual’s property and interest in property as currently blocked. This notice corrects this error and clarifies that the individual’s property and interest in property were no longer blocked as of the effective date set forth in the earlier notice. DATES: The removal of this individual from the SDN List was effective as of Thursday, April 18, 2013.

Correction In the notice published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2013 at 78 FR 24468, OFAC incorrectly described the property and interests in property of an individual removed from the SDN List as ‘‘blocked.’’ The property and interests in property of this individual were no longer blocked as of April 18, 2013 (the effective date set forth in the April 25, 2013, Federal Register notice). Accordingly, OFAC is correcting the notice as follows: on page 24468, in the second column under the heading ‘‘Individual,’’ in the second sentence of PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 28291 the second paragraph, replace the word ‘‘blocked’’ with the word ‘‘unblocked’’ so that the sentence reads, ‘‘All property and interests in property of the individual that are in or hereafter come within the United States or the possession or control of United States persons are now unblocked.’’ The corrected notice is republished below. Background On April 29, 2011, the President issued Executive Order 13572, ‘‘Blocking Property of Certain Persons with Respect to Human Rights Abuses in Syria,’’ (the ‘‘Order’’) pursuant to, inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701– 06). In the Order, the President expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 2004. The Order authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to designate additional persons or entities determined to meet certain criteria set forth in Executive Order 13572.

Background

    On March 6, 2003, the President, invoking the authority of, inter 
alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-
06) (``IEEPA'') issued Executive Order 13288 (68 FR 11457, March 10, 
2003). In Executive Order 13288, the President declared a national 
emergency to deal with the threat posed by the actions and policies of 
certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to 
undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or institutions, contributing 
to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Zimbabwe, to 
politically motivated violence and intimidation in that country, and to 
political and economic instability in the southern African region. The 
Annex to Executive Order 13288 included 77 individuals, including five 
of the eight individuals identified in this notice, which resulted in 
the blocking of all property and interests in property of these 
individuals that was or thereafter came within the United States or the 
possession or control of U.S. persons. Executive Order 13288 also 
authorized the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, to designate additional persons determined to meet 
the criteria set forth in Executive Order 13288.
    On November 22, 2005, in order to take additional steps with 
respect to the continued actions and policies of certain persons who 
undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes and with respect to the 
national emergency described and declared in Executive Order 13288, the 
President, invoking the authority of, inter alia, IEEPA, issued 
Executive Order 13391 (70 FR 71201, November 25, 2005). Executive Order 
13391 amends Executive Order 13288 and provides that the Annex to 
Executive Order 13288 is replaced and superseded in its entirety by the 
Annex to Executive Order 13391, containing the names of 128 individuals 
and 33 entities, including the eight individuals and one entity 
identified in this notice. Executive Order 13288, as amended by 
Executive Order 13391, authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in 
consultation with the Secretary of State, to block the property and 
interests in property of additional categories of persons beyond the 
category set forth in Executive Order 13288 prior to its amendment.
    Executive Order 13288, as amended by Executive Order 13991, also

[[Page 28291]]

authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, to determine that circumstances no longer warrant 
the inclusion of a person in the Annex to Executive Order 13288, as 
replaced and superseded by the Annex to Executive Order 13991, and to 
unblock any property and interests in property that had been blocked as 
a result of the person's inclusion in the Annex.
    On May 2, 2013, the Director of OFAC, in consultation with the 
State Department, determined that circumstances no longer warrant the 
inclusion of the individuals and entity listed below in the Annex to 
Executive Order 13288, as replaced and superseded by the Annex to 
Executive Order 13391, and that the property and interests in property 
of the individuals and entity listed below are therefore no longer 
blocked pursuant to section 1(a) of Executive Order 13288, as amended 
by Executive Order 13391, and accordingly removed them from the SDN 
List.
