Preparing for Implementation of the Joint 
                Comprehensive Plan of Action of July 14, 2015 (JCPOA)

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State[,] the Secretary 
                of the Treasury[,] the Secretary of Commerce[, and] the 
                Secretary of Energy

                Today, October 18, 2015, marks Adoption Day under the 
                JCPOA, the day on which the JCPOA comes into effect and 
                all JCPOA participants, including the United States, 
                are to make the necessary arrangements and preparations 
                for implementation of their respective JCPOA 
                commitments.

                Consistent with section 11 of Annex V of the JCPOA, the 
                Secretary of State, acting under previously delegated 
                authority, is taking action with respect to waivers of 
                relevant statutory sanctions, to take effect upon 
                confirmation by the Secretary of State that Iran has 
                implemented the nuclear-related measures specified in 
                sections 15.1-15.11 of Annex V of the JCPOA, as 
                verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency 
                (IAEA).

                I hereby direct you to take all appropriate additional 
                measures to ensure the prompt and effective 
                implementation of the U.S. commitments set forth in the 
                JCPOA, in accordance with U.S. law. In particular, 
                subject to the requirements of applicable U.S. law, I 
                hereby direct you to take all necessary steps to give 
                effect to the U.S. commitments with respect to 
                sanctions described in section 17 of Annex V of the 
                JCPOA, including preparation for the termination of 
                Executive Orders as specified in section 17.4 and the 
                licensing of activities as set forth in section 17.5, 
                to take effect upon confirmation by the Secretary of 
                State that Iran has implemented the nuclear-related 
                measures specified in sections 15.1-15.11 of Annex V of 
                the JCPOA, as verified by the IAEA.

                In discharging these responsibilities, you are directed 
                to consult with the heads of other executive 
                departments and agencies as may be appropriate.
