Appendix B to Part 589 - Executive Order 13661 Executive Order
13661 of March 16, 2014 Blocking Property of Additional Persons
Contributing to the Situation in 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.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United
States Code,
I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America,
hereby expand the scope of the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13660 of March 6, 2014, finding that the actions
and policies of the Government of the Russian Federation with
respect to Ukraine - including the recent deployment of Russian
Federation military forces in the Crimea region of Ukraine -
undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine;
threaten its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and
territorial integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of
its assets, and thereby constitute an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United
States. Accordingly, I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are
in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States,
or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of
any United States person (including any foreign branch) of the
following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid,
exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:
(i) The persons listed in the Annex to this order; and
(ii) persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
consultation with the Secretary of State:
(A) To be an official of the Government of the Russian
Federation;
(B) to operate in the arms or related materiel sector in the
Russian Federation;
(C) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported
to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly:
(1) A senior official of the Government of the Russian
Federation; or
(2) a person whose property and interests in property are
blocked pursuant to this order; or
(D) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided
financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or
services to or in support of:
(1) A senior official of the Government of the Russian
Federation; or
(2) a person whose property and interests in property are
blocked pursuant to this order.
(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 any license
or permit granted prior to the effective date of this order.
Sec. 2. I hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and
nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to
meet one or more of the criteria in section 1(a) of this order
would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and I
hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants or
nonimmigrants, of such persons. Such persons shall be treated as
persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011
(Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security
Council Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act
Sanctions).
Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the
type of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C.
1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property
and interests in property are blocked pursuant to section 1 of this
order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13660, and I hereby prohibit
such donations as provided by section 1 of this order.
Sec. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 of this order include but
are not limited to:
(a) The making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods,
or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property
and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order;
and
(b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds,
goods, or services from any such person.
Sec. 5. (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. 6. For the purposes of this order:
(a) The term “person” means an individual or entity;
(b) 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, permanent resident alien, 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;
and
(d) the term the “Government of the Russian Federation” means
the Government of the Russian Federation, any political
subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, including the
Central Bank of the Government of the Russian Federation, and any
person owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, the
Government of the Russian Federation.
Sec. 7. For those persons whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a
constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because
of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously,
prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to
this order would render those measures ineffectual. I therefore
determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660, there need be
no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to
section 1 of this order.
Sec. 8. 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 redelegate any of these functions to other officers
and agencies of the United States Government consistent with
applicable law. All agencies of the United States Government are
hereby directed to take all appropriate measures within their
authority to carry out the provisions of this order.
Sec. 9. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to determine that
circumstances no longer warrant the blocking of the property and
interests in property of a person listed in the Annex to this
order, and to take necessary action to give effect to that
determination.
Sec. 10. 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.
Sec. 11. This order is effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight
time on March 17, 2014.
