Abstract of proposed collection:
Section 203(a)(1)(B) of the
International Emergency Economic
PO 00000
Frm 00170
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Powers Act (IEEPA) grants the President
authority to, inter alia, prevent or
prohibit any acquisition or transaction
involving any property, in which a
foreign country or a national thereof has
any interest, by any person, or with
respect to any property, subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States, if the
President declares a national emergency
with respect to any unusual and
extraordinary threat, which has its
source in whole or substantial part
outside the United States, to the
national security, foreign policy, or
economy of the United States. See 50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.
In Executive Order 13047 of May 20,
1997, the President determined that the
actions and policies of the Government
of Burma, including its large-scale
repression of the democratic opposition
in Burma, constituted an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United
States, declared a national emergency to
deal with that threat, and prohibited
new investment in Burma. In
subsequent Executive Orders, the
President modified the scope of the
national emergency to address
additional concerns with the actions
and policies of the Government of
Burma. In Executive Order 13448 of
October 18, 2007, the President
modified the emergency to address the
continued repression of the democratic
opposition in Burma, manifested in part
through the commission of human
rights abuses and pervasive public
corruption. In Executive Order 13619 of
July 11, 2012, the President further
modified the emergency to address,
inter alia, human rights abuses
particularly in ethnic areas.
In response to several political
reforms by the Government of Burma
and pursuant to authority granted by
IEEPA, the Department of the Treasury’s
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
issued a general license (GL 17) on July
11, 2012 authorizing new investment in
Burma, subject to certain restrictions
and conditions.
In order to support the Department of
State’s efforts to assess the extent to
which new U.S. investment authorized
by GL 17 furthers U.S. foreign policy
goals of, inter alia, improving human
rights protections and facilitating
political reform in Burma, GL 17
requires U.S. persons engaging in new
investment in Burma to report to the
Department of State information related
to such investment, as laid out in the
‘‘Reporting Requirements on
Responsible Investment in Burma,’’
(hereafter referred to as the
‘‘collection’’). This collection is
authorized by section 203(a)(2) of
