SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: OFAC Application for the Release of Blocked Funds.
    OMB Number: 1505-0170.
    Abstract: Transactions prohibited pursuant to the Trading With the 
Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1-44, the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq., and other authorities may be 
authorized by means of specific licenses issued by OFAC. Such licenses 
are issued in response to applications submitted by persons whose 
property and interests in property have been blocked or who wish to 
engage in transactions that would otherwise be prohibited. The OFAC 
Application for the Release of Blocked Funds, which provides a 
standardized method of application for all applicants seeking the 
unblocking of funds, is available in electronic format on OFAC's Web 
site. Use of the form greatly facilitates and speeds applicants' 
submissions and OFAC's processing of such applications. By obviating 
the need for applicants to write lengthy letters to OFAC, this form 
reduces the overall burden of the application process. Since February 
2000, use of the OFAC Application for the Release of Blocked Funds to 
apply for the unblocking of funds has been mandatory pursuant to a 
revision in OFAC's regulations at 31 CFR 501.801. See 65 FR 10707 
(February 29, 2000).
    Current Actions: There are no changes being made to the notice at 
this time.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals/businesses and other for-profit 
institutions/banking institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,400.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,200.
    The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of 
information covered by this notice:
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of 
information displays a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
control number. Books or records relating to a collection of 
information must be retained for five years.

Request for Comments

    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will 
become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 
the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance 
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information has 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information.
