Background
Removal of the Sudanese Sanctions
Regulations
On November 3, 1997, the President
issued Executive Order 13067,
‘‘Blocking Sudanese Government
Property and Prohibiting Transactions
With Sudan’’ (E.O. 13067), declaring a
national emergency to deal with the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of
the United States posed by the policies
and actions of the Government of
Sudan. E.O. 13067 blocked all property
and interests in property of the
Government of Sudan that were in the
United States, that thereafter came
within the United States, or that
thereafter came within the possession or
control of United States persons. E.O.
13067 also prohibited: (a) The
importation into the United States of
any goods or services of Sudanese
origin; (b) the exportation or
reexportation, directly or indirectly, to
Sudan of goods, technology, or services
from the United States or by a United
States person, wherever located, or
requiring the issuance of a license by a
Federal agency; (c) the facilitation by a
United States person of the exportation
or reexportation of goods, technology, or
services to or from Sudan; (d) the
performance by any United States
person of any contract, including a
financing contract, in support of an
industrial, commercial, public utility, or
governmental project in Sudan; (e) the
grant or extension of credits or loans by
any United States person to the
Government of Sudan; (f) any
transaction by a United States person
relating to transportation of cargo to or
from Sudan; and (g) any transaction by
any United States person, or within the
United States that evaded or avoided, or
had the purpose of evading or avoiding,
or attempted to violate any of the
prohibitions set forth in E.O. 13067.

On July 1, 1998, OFAC issued the
Sudanese Sanctions Regulations, 31
CFR part 538 (SSR), as a final rule to
implement E.O. 13067. The SSR were
amended on various occasions to,
among other things, implement further
Executive orders and add additional
authorizations.
On April 26, 2006, in Executive Order
13400 (E.O. 13400), the President
determined that the conflict in Sudan’s
Darfur region posed an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United
States, expanded the scope of the
national emergency declared in E.O.
13067 to deal with that threat, and
ordered the blocking of property of
certain persons connected to the
conflict. On May 28, 2009, OFAC issued
the Darfur Sanctions Regulations, 31
CFR part 546 (DSR), as a final rule to
implement E.O. 13400. On October 13,
2006, the President issued Executive
Order 13412 (E.O. 13412) to take
additional steps with respect to the
national emergency and to implement
the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act
of 2006, Public Law 109–344, 120 Stat.
1869.
On January 13, 2017, President
Obama issued Executive Order 13761,
‘‘Recognizing Positive Actions by the
Government of Sudan and Providing for
the Revocation of Certain Sudan-Related
Sanctions’’ (E.O. 13761). In E.O. 13761,
President Obama found that the
situation that gave rise to the actions
taken in E.O.s 13067 and 13412 related
to the policies and actions of the
Government of Sudan had been altered
by Sudan’s positive actions over the
prior six months. These actions
included a marked reduction in
offensive military activity, culminating
in a pledge to maintain a cessation of
hostilities in conflict areas in Sudan,
and steps toward the improvement of
humanitarian access throughout Sudan,
as well as cooperation with the United
States on addressing regional conflicts
and the threat of terrorism. Given these
developments, and in order to see these
efforts sustained and enhanced by the
Government of Sudan, President Obama
ordered that, effective July 12, 2017,
sections 1 and 2 of E.O. 13067 be
revoked, and E.O. 13412 be revoked in
its entirety, provided that a review
before that date determined certain
criteria were met.
On July 11, 2017, President Trump
issued Executive Order 13804,
‘‘Allowing Additional Time for
Recognizing Positive Actions by the
Government of Sudan and Amending
Executive Order 13761’’ (E.O. 13804). In
E.O. 13804, President Trump amended
E.O. 13761, extending until October 12,
