Background
On March 6, 2014, the President,
invoking the authority of, inter alia, the
International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706)
(IEEPA), issued Executive Order (E.O.)
13660, ‘‘Blocking Property of Certain
Persons Contributing to the Situation in
Ukraine’’ (79 FR 13493, March 10,
2014). In E.O. 13660, the President
determined that the actions and policies
of persons including persons who have
asserted governmental authority in the
Crimean region without the
authorization of the Government of
Ukraine that undermine democratic
processes and institutions in Ukraine;
threaten its peace, security, stability,
sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and
contribute to the misappropriation of its
assets, constitute an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United
States, and declared a national
emergency to deal with that threat.
The President subsequently issued
E.O. 13661 of March 16, 2014,
‘‘Blocking Property of Additional
Persons Contributing to the Situation in
Ukraine’’ (79 FR 15535, March 19,
2014), and E.O. 13662 of March 20,
2014, ‘‘Blocking Property of Additional
Persons Contributing to the Situation in
Ukraine’’ (79 FR 16169, March 20,
2014), pursuant to the national
emergency declared in E.O. 13660. E.O.
13661 and E.O. 13662 expanded the
scope of the national emergency
declared in E.O. 13660. On May 8, 2014,
OFAC published the Ukraine Related
Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 589
(the ‘‘Regulations’’), to implement E.O.
13660, E.O. 13661, and E.O. 13662 (79
FR 26365, May 8, 2014). The President
has issued additional Executive orders
pursuant to the national emergency
declared in E.O. 13660, and expanded
in E.O. 13661 and E.O. 13662, which are
not discussed in this publication as they
are not relevant to the web GLs being
published.
OFAC, in consultation with the
Department of State, issued GL 13 on
April 6, 2018, pursuant to the
Regulations, to authorize certain
transactions and activities with specific
blocked entities that were otherwise
prohibited by the Regulations. Subject
to certain conditions, GL 13 authorized
activities and transactions that were
ordinarily incident and necessary to
divest or transfer debt, equity, or other
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
holdings in the entities to a non-U.S.
person, or facilitate the transfer of debt,
equity, or other holdings in the entities
by a non U.S. person to another nonU.S. person. Subsequently, OFAC
issued 16 further iterations of GL 13,
which extended and expanded the
authorization to include entities in
which those entities owned, directly or
indirectly, a 50 percent or greater
interest, and other issuer holdings, and
in later iterations narrowed the scope of
the authorization, due to the removal of
two entities, EN+ Group PLC and
United Company RUSAL PLC, from
OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals
and Blocked Persons List on January 27,
2019.
On May 1, 2018, OFAC issued GL 13A
which replaced and superseded GL 13;
on May 31, 2018, OFAC issued GL 13B,
which replaced and superseded GL 13A;
on July 31, 2018, OFAC issued GL 13C,
which replaced and superseded GL 13B;
on September 21, 2018, OFAC issued
GL 13D, which replaced and superseded
GL 13C; on October 12, 2018, OFAC
issued GL 13E, which replaced and
superseded GL 13D; on October 19,
2018, OFAC issued GL 13F, which
replaced and superseded GL 13E; on
November 9, 2018, OFAC issued GL
13G, which replaced and superseded GL
13F; on December 7, 2018, OFAC issued
GL 13H, which replaced and superseded
GL 13G; on December 20, 2018, OFAC
issued GL 13I, which replaced and
superseded GL 13H; on January 16,
2019, OFAC issued GL 13J, which
replaced and superseded GL 13I; on
March 6, 2019, OFAC issued GL 13K,
which replaced and superseded GL 13J;
on June 26, 2019, OFAC issued GL 13L,
which replaced and superseded GL 13K;
on November 1, 2019, OFAC issued GL
13M, which replaced and superseded
GL 13L; on March 20, 2020, OFAC
issued GL 13N, which replaced and
superseded GL 13M; on July 16, 2020,
OFAC issued GL 13O, which replaced
and superseded GL 13N; and on
December 23, 2020, OFAC issued GL
13P, which replaced and superseded GL
13O. GL 13P expires on January 26,
2022. The texts of the following 17 GLs
are provided below: GLs 13, 13A, 13B,

Background
On March 6, 2014, the President, invoking the authority of, inter
alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-
1706) (IEEPA), issued Executive Order (E.O.) 13660, ``Blocking Property
of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine'' (79 FR
13493, March 10, 2014). In E.O. 13660, the President determined that
the actions and policies of persons including persons who have asserted
governmental authority in the Crimean region without the authorization
of the Government of Ukraine that undermine democratic processes and
institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability,
sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to the
misappropriation of its assets, constitute an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United
States, and declared a national emergency to deal with that threat.
The President subsequently issued E.O. 13661 of March 16, 2014,
``Blocking Property of Additional Persons Contributing to the Situation
in Ukraine'' (79 FR 15535, March 19, 2014), and E.O. 13662 of March 20,
2014, ``Blocking Property of Additional Persons Contributing to the
Situation in Ukraine'' (79 FR 16169, March 20, 2014), pursuant to the
national emergency declared in E.O. 13660. E.O. 13661 and E.O. 13662
expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in E.O. 13660. On
May 8, 2014, OFAC published the Ukraine Related Sanctions Regulations,
31 CFR part 589 (the ``Regulations''), to implement E.O. 13660, E.O.
13661, and E.O. 13662 (79 FR 26365, May 8, 2014). The President has
issued additional Executive orders pursuant to the national emergency
declared in E.O. 13660, and expanded in E.O. 13661 and E.O. 13662,
which are not discussed in this publication as they are not relevant to
the web GLs being published.
OFAC, in consultation with the Department of State, issued GL 13 on
April 6, 2018, pursuant to the Regulations, to authorize certain
transactions and activities with specific blocked entities that were
otherwise prohibited by the Regulations. Subject to certain conditions,
GL 13 authorized activities and transactions that were ordinarily
incident and necessary to divest or transfer debt, equity, or other
holdings in the entities to a non-U.S. person, or facilitate the
transfer of debt, equity, or other holdings in the entities by a non
U.S. person to another non-U.S. person. Subsequently, OFAC issued 16
further iterations of GL 13, which extended and expanded the
authorization to include entities in which those entities owned,
directly or indirectly, a 50 percent or greater interest, and other
issuer holdings, and in later iterations narrowed the scope of the
authorization, due to the removal of two entities, EN+ Group PLC and
United Company RUSAL PLC, from OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals
and Blocked Persons List on January 27, 2019.
On May 1, 2018, OFAC issued GL 13A which replaced and superseded GL
13; on May 31, 2018, OFAC issued GL 13B, which replaced and superseded
GL 13A; on July 31, 2018, OFAC issued GL 13C, which replaced and
superseded GL 13B; on September 21, 2018, OFAC issued GL 13D, which
replaced and superseded GL 13C; on October 12, 2018, OFAC issued GL
13E, which replaced and superseded GL 13D; on October 19, 2018, OFAC
issued GL 13F, which replaced and superseded GL 13E; on November 9,
2018, OFAC issued GL 13G, which replaced and superseded GL 13F; on
December 7, 2018, OFAC issued GL 13H, which replaced and superseded GL
13G; on December 20, 2018, OFAC issued GL 13I, which replaced and
superseded GL 13H; on January 16, 2019, OFAC issued GL 13J, which
replaced and superseded GL 13I; on March 6, 2019, OFAC issued GL 13K,
which replaced and superseded GL 13J; on June 26, 2019, OFAC issued GL
13L, which replaced and superseded GL 13K; on November 1, 2019, OFAC
issued GL 13M, which replaced and superseded GL 13L; on March 20, 2020,
OFAC issued GL 13N, which replaced and superseded GL 13M; on July 16,
2020, OFAC issued GL 13O, which replaced and superseded GL 13N; and on
December 23, 2020, OFAC issued GL 13P, which replaced and superseded GL
13O. GL 13P expires on January 26, 2022. The texts of the following 17
GLs are provided below: GLs 13, 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D, 13E, 13F, 13G, 13H,
