AGENCY:
This document amends the
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) regulations to extend import
restrictions on certain archaeological
material from the Hashemite Kingdom
of Jordan. The Principal Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Educational and
Cultural Affairs, United States
Department of State, has made the
requisite determinations for extending
the import restrictions, which were
originally imposed by CBP Decision 20–
02. These import restrictions are being
extended pursuant to an exchange of
diplomatic notes. The CBP regulations
are being amended to reflect this further
extension through January 14, 2030.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The Convention on Cultural Property
Implementation Act (Pub. L. 97–446, 19
U.S.C. 2601 et seq.) (CPIA), which
implements the 1970 United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) Convention on
the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing
the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of
Ownership of Cultural Property (823
E:\FR\FM\21MRR1.SGM
21MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 54 / Friday, March 21, 2025 / Rules and Regulations
U.N.T.S. 231 (1972)) (the Convention),
allows for the conclusion of an
agreement between the United States
and another party to the Convention to
impose import restrictions on eligible
archaeological and ethnological
material. Under the CPIA and the
applicable U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) regulations, found in
§ 12.104 of title 19 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (19 CFR 12.104),
the restrictions are effective for no more
than five years beginning on the date on
which an agreement enters into force
with respect to the United States (19
U.S.C. 2602(b)). This period may be
extended for additional periods, each
extension not to exceed five years, if it
is determined that the factors justifying
the initial agreement still pertain and no
cause for suspension of the agreement
exists (19 U.S.C. 2602(e); 19 CFR
12.104g(a)).
khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with RULES
On December 16, 2019, the United
States entered into a bilateral agreement
(2019 Agreement) with the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan (Jordan) that entered
into force on February 1, 2020, to
impose import restrictions on certain
archaeological material representing
Jordan’s cultural heritage that is at least
250 years old, dating from the
Paleolithic period (approximately 1.5
million B.C.) to the middle of the
Ottoman period in Jordan (A.D. 1750).
On February 7, 2020, CBP published a
final rule (CBP Dec. 20–02) in the
Federal Register (85 FR 7204), which
amended 19 CFR 12.104g(a) to reflect
the imposition of these restrictions,
including a list designating the types of
archaeological material covered by the
restrictions.
On April 24, 2024, the United States
Department of State proposed in the
Federal Register (89 FR 31246) to
extend the 2019 MOU. On September
23, 2024, after considering the views
and recommendations of the Cultural
Property Advisory Committee, the
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Educational and Cultural Affairs, United
States Department of State, made the
necessary determinations to extend the
import restrictions for an additional five
years. Following an exchange of
diplomatic notes, concluded on January
14, 2025, the United States and Jordan
have agreed to extend the restrictions
for an additional five-year period,
through January 14, 2030. However, in
the absence of a final rule extending
enforcement of the restrictions,
enforcement of these restrictions ended
on February 2, 2025. Enforcement of
this extension will begin upon
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:00 Mar 20, 2025
Jkt 265001
publication of this document in the
Federal Register.
Accordingly, CBP is amending 19 CFR
12.104g(a) to reflect the extension and
reinstate enforcement of these import
restrictions. The restrictions on the
importation of archaeological material
from Jordan will continue in effect
through January 14, 2030. Importation
of such material from Jordan continues
to be restricted through that date unless
the conditions set forth in 19 U.S.C.
2606 and 19 CFR 12.104c are met.
The Designated List of restricted
material and additional information
may also be found at the following
website address: https://eca.state.gov/
cultural-heritage-center/culturalproperty/current-agreements-andimport-restrictions by selecting the
material for ‘‘Jordan.’’
Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed
Effective Date
This amendment involves a foreign
affairs function of the United States and
is, therefore, being made without notice
or public procedure under 5 U.S.C.
553(a)(1). For the same reason, a
delayed effective date is not required
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
Executive Order 12866
Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory
Planning and Review) directs agencies
to assess the costs and benefits of
available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select
regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential
economic, environmental, public health
and safety effects, distributive impacts,
and equity). CBP has determined that
this document is not a regulation or rule
subject to the provisions of Executive
Order 12866 because it pertains to a
foreign affairs function of the United
States, as described above, and therefore
is specifically exempted by section
3(d)(2) of Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), as amended by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, requires an agency
to prepare and make available to the
public a regulatory flexibility analysis
that describes the effect of a proposed
rule on small entities (i.e., small
businesses, small organizations, and
small governmental jurisdictions) when
the agency is required to publish a
general notice of proposed rulemaking
for a rule. Since a general notice of
proposed rulemaking is not necessary
for this rule, CBP is not required to

Signing Authority
In accordance with Treasury Order
100–20, the Secretary of the Treasury
has delegated to the Secretary of
Homeland Security the authority related
to the customs revenue functions vested
in the Secretary of the Treasury as set
forth in 6 U.S.C. 212 and 215, subject to
certain exceptions. This regulation is
being issued in accordance with DHS
Directive 07010.3, Revision 03.2, which
delegates to the Commissioner of CBP
the authority to prescribe and approve
regulations related to cultural property
import restrictions.
Pete Flores, Acting Commissioner,
having reviewed and approved this
document, has delegated the authority
to electronically sign this document to
the Director (or Acting Director, if
applicable) of the Regulations and
Disclosure Law Division of CBP, for
purposes of publication in the Federal
Register.

Customs and Border Protection amends
part 12 of title 19 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, as set forth below:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 24, 2024, the President
signed into law the 21st Century Peace
through Strength Act, Public Law 118–
50, div. D (the ‘‘Act’’). Section 3111 of
the Act extended from five years to 10
years the statute of limitations for civil
and criminal violations of the
International Emergency Economic
Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.
(IEEPA), and the Trading with the
Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.
(TWEA).
On September 13, 2024, OFAC
published an interim final rule (89 FR
74832, September 13, 2024) with a 30day public comment period to solicit
public comments on amending the
Regulations to extend from five to 10
years the recordkeeping requirements
codified at 31 CFR 501.601, paragraph
IV.B of appendix A to part 501, and
515.572, consistent with the statute of
limitations for violations of certain
sanctions prohibitions administered by
OFAC. OFAC received three relevant
written submissions on the proposed
rule, which are available on the public
rulemaking docket at https://
www.regulations.gov. OFAC considered
each submission but made no revisions
in this rule in response to the
comments.
The first comment was general in
nature, for example, supporting OFAC’s
efforts to extend recordkeeping
requirements for certain transactions
from five to 10 years, consistent with
the statute of limitations for violations
of certain sanctions administered by
OFAC. That comment also stated that
the rule has a broad scope and sought
additional guidance on the applicability
of the rule.
The second comment suggested that
OFAC postpone enacting the new
recordkeeping requirements to give
stakeholders more time to acquire
additional resources and storage

capacity and to adjust their current
recordkeeping practices to conform to
the new recordkeeping requirements of
OFAC. However, OFAC believes that it
has provided sufficient time for
recordkeepers to adjust because the
relevant statute was signed into law in
April 2024, and OFAC published the
interim final rule with a six-month
delay in effective date (March 12, 2025).
Finally, the third comment noted that
financial institutions subject to
European Union (EU) regulations on
anti-money laundering and counterterrorism financing may face difficulties
in complying with this new 10-year
recordkeeping requirement.
Specifically, the comment states that
article 40 of EU Directive 2015/849, on
the prevention of the use of the financial
system for the purposes of money
laundering or terrorist financing,
mandates that records of transactions
must be deleted five years after the end
of a business relationship with regular
clients, or after the transaction for
occasional clients, because this data is
considered ‘‘personal’’ by EU
authorities. OFAC is mindful that this
may create instances in which there is
potential tension between EU and U.S.
retention requirements and has
accounted for potential conflict of laws
issues in assessing apparent violations
in General Factor K of OFAC’s
Enforcement Guidelines. See 74 FR
57593.
Based on the rationale set forth in the
interim final rule and this final rule,
OFAC is adopting the interim final rule
with no changes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act (Pub. L. 97-
446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.) (CPIA), which implements the 1970 United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit
Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property (823
[[Page 13285]]
U.N.T.S. 231 (1972)) (the Convention), allows for the conclusion of an
agreement between the United States and another party to the Convention
to impose import restrictions on eligible archaeological and
ethnological material. Under the CPIA and the applicable U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) regulations, found in Sec. 12.104 of title
19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR 12.104), the restrictions
are effective for no more than five years beginning on the date on
which an agreement enters into force with respect to the United States
(19 U.S.C. 2602(b)). This period may be extended for additional
periods, each extension not to exceed five years, if it is determined
that the factors justifying the initial agreement still pertain and no
cause for suspension of the agreement exists (19 U.S.C. 2602(e); 19 CFR
12.104g(a)).
On December 16, 2019, the United States entered into a bilateral
agreement (2019 Agreement) with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
(Jordan) that entered into force on February 1, 2020, to impose import
restrictions on certain archaeological material representing Jordan's
cultural heritage that is at least 250 years old, dating from the
Paleolithic period (approximately 1.5 million B.C.) to the middle of
the Ottoman period in Jordan (A.D. 1750). On February 7, 2020, CBP
published a final rule (CBP Dec. 20-02) in the Federal Register (85 FR
7204), which amended 19 CFR 12.104g(a) to reflect the imposition of
these restrictions, including a list designating the types of
archaeological material covered by the restrictions.
On April 24, 2024, the United States Department of State proposed
in the Federal Register (89 FR 31246) to extend the 2019 MOU. On
September 23, 2024, after considering the views and recommendations of
the Cultural Property Advisory Committee, the Principal Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States
Department of State, made the necessary determinations to extend the
import restrictions for an additional five years. Following an exchange
of diplomatic notes, concluded on January 14, 2025, the United States
and Jordan have agreed to extend the restrictions for an additional
five-year period, through January 14, 2030. However, in the absence of
a final rule extending enforcement of the restrictions, enforcement of
these restrictions ended on February 2, 2025. Enforcement of this
extension will begin upon publication of this document in the Federal
Register.
Accordingly, CBP is amending 19 CFR 12.104g(a) to reflect the
extension and reinstate enforcement of these import restrictions. The
restrictions on the importation of archaeological material from Jordan
will continue in effect through January 14, 2030. Importation of such
material from Jordan continues to be restricted through that date
unless the conditions set forth in 19 U.S.C. 2606 and 19 CFR 12.104c
are met.
The Designated List of restricted material and additional
information may also be found at the following website address: https://eca.state.gov/cultural-heritage-center/cultural-property/current-agreements-and-import-restrictions by selecting the material for
``Jordan.''
Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed Effective Date
This amendment involves a foreign affairs function of the United
States and is, therefore, being made without notice or public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1). For the same reason, a delayed effective date
is not required under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
Executive Order 12866
Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) directs
agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts,
and equity). CBP has determined that this document is not a regulation
or rule subject to the provisions of Executive Order 12866 because it
pertains to a foreign affairs function of the United States, as
described above, and therefore is specifically exempted by section
3(d)(2) of Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), as amended
by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996,
requires an agency to prepare and make available to the public a
regulatory flexibility analysis that describes the effect of a proposed
rule on small entities (i.e., small businesses, small organizations,
and small governmental jurisdictions) when the agency is required to
publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking for a rule. Since a
general notice of proposed rulemaking is not necessary for this rule,
CBP is not required to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis for
this rule.
Signing Authority
In accordance with Treasury Order 100-20, the Secretary of the
Treasury has delegated to the Secretary of Homeland Security the
authority related to the customs revenue functions vested in the
Secretary of the Treasury as set forth in 6 U.S.C. 212 and 215, subject
to certain exceptions. This regulation is being issued in accordance
with DHS Directive 07010.3, Revision 03.2, which delegates to the
Commissioner of CBP the authority to prescribe and approve regulations
related to cultural property import restrictions.
Pete Flores, Acting Commissioner, having reviewed and approved this
document, has delegated the authority to electronically sign this
document to the Director (or Acting Director, if applicable) of the
Regulations and Disclosure Law Division of CBP, for purposes of
publication in the Federal Register.
List of Subjects in 19 CFR Part 12
