                Executive Order 14066 of March 8, 2022

                
Prohibiting Certain Imports and New Investments 
                With Respect to Continued Russian Federation Efforts To 
                Undermine the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of 
                Ukraine

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including the International Emergency Economic 
                Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the 
                National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and 
                section 301 of title 3, United States Code,

                I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States 
                of America, hereby expand the scope of the national 
                emergency declared in Executive Order 14024 of April 
                15, 2021, and relied on for additional steps taken in 
                Executive Order 14039 of August 20, 2021, finding that 
                the Russian Federation's unjustified, unprovoked, 
                unyielding, and unconscionable war against Ukraine, 
                including its recent further invasion in violation of 
                international law, including the United Nations 
                Charter, further threatens the peace, stability, 
                sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and 
                thereby constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat 
                to the national security and foreign policy of the 
                United States. Accordingly, I hereby order:

                Section 1. (a) The following are prohibited:

(i) the importation into the United States of the following products of 
Russian Federation origin: crude oil; petroleum; petroleum fuels, oils, and 
products of their distillation; liquefied natural gas; coal; and coal 
products;

(ii) new investment in the energy sector in the Russian Federation by a 
United States person, wherever located; and

(iii) any approval, financing, facilitation, or guarantee by a United 
States person, wherever located, of a transaction by a foreign person where 
the transaction by that foreign person would be prohibited by this section 
if performed by a United States person or within the United States.

                    (b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this 
                section apply except to the extent provided by 
                statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or 
                licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and 
                notwithstanding any contract entered into or license or 
                permit granted prior to the date of this order.

                Sec. 2. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has 
                the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation 
                of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set 
                forth in this order is prohibited.

                    (b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the 
                prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.

                Sec. 3. Nothing in this order shall prohibit 
                transactions for the conduct of the official business 
                of the Federal Government or the United Nations 
                (including its specialized agencies, programs, funds, 
                and related organizations) by employees, grantees, or 
                contractors thereof.

                Sec. 4. For the purposes of this order:

                    (a) the term ``entity'' means a partnership, 
                association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, 
                subgroup, or other organization;

                    (c) the term ``United States person'' means any 
                United States citizen, lawful permanent resident, 
                entity organized under the laws of the United States or 
                any jurisdiction within the United States (including 
                foreign branches), or any person in the United States.

                Sec. 5. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation 
                with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to 
                take such actions, including the promulgation of rules 
                and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to 
                the President by IEEPA, as may be necessary to carry 
                out the purposes of this order. The Secretary of the 
                Treasury may, consistent with applicable law, 
                redelegate any of these functions within the Department 
                of the Treasury. All executive departments and agencies 
                of the United States shall take all appropriate 
                measures within their authority to implement this 
                order.

                Sec. 6. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to

relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.
                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
