Background
On March 8, 2015, the President,
invoking the authority of, inter alia, the
International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706),
issued Executive Order (E.O.) 13692,
‘‘Blocking Property and Suspending
Entry of Persons Contributing to the

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 200 / Wednesday, October 20, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
Situation in Venezuela’’ (80 FR 12747,
March 11, 2015). In E.O. 13692, the
President found that the situation in
Venezuela, including the Government of
Venezuela’s erosion of human rights
guarantees, persecution of political
opponents, curtailment of press
freedoms, use of violence and human
rights violations and abuses in response
to antigovernment protests, and
arbitrary arrest and detention of
antigovernment protestors, as well as
the exacerbating presence of significant
public corruption, constitutes 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 issued six additional
E.O.s pursuant to the national
emergency declared in E.O. 13692: E.O.
13808 of August 24, 2017, ‘‘Imposing
Additional Sanctions With Respect to
the Situation in Venezuela’’ (82 FR
41155, August 29, 2017); E.O. 13827 of
March 19, 2018, ‘‘Taking Additional
Steps to Address the Situation in
Venezuela’’ (83 FR 12469, March 21,
2018); E.O. 13835 of May 21, 2018,
‘‘Prohibiting Certain Additional
Transactions With Respect to
Venezuela’’ (83 FR 24001, May 24,
2018); E.O. 13850 of November 1, 2018,
‘‘Blocking Property of Additional
Persons Contributing to the Situation in
Venezuela’’ (83 FR 55243, November 2,
2018); E.O. 13857 of January 25, 2019,
‘‘Taking Additional Steps To Address
the National Emergency With Respect to
Venezuela’’ (84 FR 509, January 30,
2019); and E.O. 13884 of August 5,
2019, ‘‘Blocking Property of the
Government of Venezuela’’ (84 FR
38843, August 7, 2019).
OFAC, in consultation with the
Department of State, issued GL 7 on
January 28, 2019, pursuant to E.O.
13850, as amended. Paragraph (a) of GL
7 authorized certain transactions and
activities with respect to PDV Holding,
Inc. (PDVH), CITGO Holding, Inc., and
any of their subsidiaries. Paragraph (b)
of GL 7 authorized PDVH, CITGO
Holding, Inc., and any of their
subsidiaries to engage in certain
transactions and activities ordinarily
incident and necessary to the purchase
and importation of petroleum and
petroleum products from PdVSA and
any entity in which PdVSA owns,
directly or indirectly, a 50 percent or
greater interest. Subsequently, OFAC
issued three further iterations of GL 7,
which extended the authorization, and
in later iterations, modified the scope of
the authorization, and incorporated
additional Executive orders.

GL 7 authorized certain transactions and activities with respect to PDV
Holding, Inc. (PDVH), CITGO Holding, Inc., and any of their
subsidiaries. Paragraph (b) of GL 7 authorized PDVH, CITGO Holding,
Inc., and any of their subsidiaries to engage in certain transactions
and activities ordinarily incident and necessary to the purchase and
importation of petroleum and petroleum products from PdVSA and any
entity in which PdVSA owns, directly or indirectly, a 50 percent or
greater interest. Subsequently, OFAC issued three further iterations of
GL 7, which extended the authorization, and in later iterations,
modified the scope of the authorization, and incorporated additional
Executive orders.
The authorization found in paragraph (a) of GL 7 was valid through
12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time, July 27, 2019. The authorization
found in paragraph (a) in each of GLs 7A, 7B, and 7C automatically
renews on the first day of each month and is valid for a period of 18
months from the effective date of the respective GL or the date of any
subsequent renewal of the respective GL, whichever is later. As such,
the authorization found in paragraph (a) of GL 7C remains effective
until it is revoked by OFAC or until GL 7C is superseded by a
subsequent renewal. The authorization found in paragraph (b) in each of
GLs 7, 7A, 7B, and 7C expired on April 28, 2019.
On March 14, 2019, OFAC issued GL 7A, which replaced and superseded
GL 7; on June 6, 2019, OFAC issued GL 7B, which replaced and superseded
GL 7A; and on August 5, 2019, OFAC issued GL 7C, which replaced and
superseded GL 7B. The texts of the following four Venezuela GLs are
