Department of State August 4, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On November 24, 2013, the United States and its partners in the P5+1 (France, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, and Germany) and the EU reached an initial understanding with Iran, outlined in a Joint Plan of Action (JPOA), that halts progress on its nuclear program and rolls it back in key respects. In return, the P5+1 committed to provide limited, temporary, and targeted sanctions relief to Iran. The JPOA was scheduled to expire after July 20, 2014. The JPOA was renewed by mutual consent of the P5+1, EU, and Iran on July 19, 2014, extending the temporary sanctions relief provided under the JPOA through November 24, 2014 (the Extended JPOA Period), in order to continue to negotiate a long-term comprehensive solution to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and to ensure that Iran's nuclear program will be exclusively peaceful. This Notice outlines the U.S. government actions taken to implement the sanctions relief aspects of this understanding.

Notice is hereby given of the following determinations: Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Act of October 19, 1965 (79 Stat. 985; 22 U.S.C. 2459), Executive Order 12047 of March 27, 1978, the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (112 Stat. 2681, et seq.; 22 U.S.C. 6501 note, et seq.), Delegation of Authority No. 234 of October 1, 1999, Delegation of Authority No. 236-3 of August 28, 2000 (and, as appropriate, Delegation of Authority No. 257 of April 15, 2003), I hereby determine that the objects to be included in the exhibition ``From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires: Grete Stern and Horacio Coppola,'' imported from abroad for temporary exhibition within the United States, are of cultural significance. The objects are imported pursuant to loan agreements with the foreign owners or custodians. I also determine that the exhibition or display of the exhibit objects at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, from on or about May 23, 2015, until on or about September 13, 2015, and at possible additional exhibitions or venues yet to be determined, is in the national interest.
