Comprehensive Plan of Action

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 11 of Annex V of the Joint Comprehensive 
Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Secretary of State has issued waivers and 
made findings with respect to relevant statutory sanctions. The 
contingent waivers exercised and findings made by the Secretary pertain 
to certain sanctions provided for in relevant sections of the Iran 
Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 2012, the Iran Threat 
Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, and the Iran Sanctions Act of 
1996. These waivers and findings would apply to certain transactions by 
non-U.S. persons involving Iran that take place after Implementation 
Day, as set forth in Annex V and the corresponding provisions of Annex 
II of the JCPOA. The transactions subject to the waivers and findings 
that the Secretary has issued include: Transactions with Iran's 
financial and banking sectors, including the Central Bank of Iran; 
transactions for the provision of underwriting services, insurance, or 
reinsurance in connection with activities consistent with the JCPOA; 
transactions with Iran's energy and petrochemical sectors, including 
the purchase or sale of petroleum, petroleum products, or 
petrochemicals or investment in or support to those sectors; 
transactions with Iran's shipping sector; trade with Iran in precious 
metals and other metals and software for activities consistent with the 
JCPOA; and trade with and support for Iran's automotive sector.

DATES: The waivers and findings included herein shall 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stu Huffman, Office of Economic 
Sanctions Policy and Implementation, Department of State, Telephone: 
(202) 647-8848.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary of State has hereby made the 
following determinations and certifications:
    Pursuant to Sections 1244(i), 1245(g), 1246(e), and 1247(f) of the 
Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 2012 (subtitle D of title 
XII of Pub. L. 112-239, 22 U.S.C. 8801 et seq.) (IFCA), I determine 
that it is vital to the national security of the United States to waive 
the imposition of sanctions under the following provisions, to the 
extent necessary to implement the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action 
(JCPOA), including the U.S. commitments with respect to sanctions 
described in Sections 17.1-17.2 and 17.5 of Annex V of the JCPOA,

sanction in Section 1244(c)(1) continues not to apply, by its terms, 
in the case of Iranian financial institutions that have not been 
designated for the imposition of sanctions in connection with Iran's 
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or delivery systems for 
weapons of mass destruction, support for international terrorism, or 
abuses of human rights (as described in section 1244(c)(3)).

owned or controlled foreign entities'') to the extent U.S.-owned or 
-controlled foreign entities are authorized by the Office of Foreign 
Assets Control (OFAC) of the Department of the Treasury to engage in

services, with respect to materials that are:

procurement channel applies; or (iii) the sale, supply, or transfer of

IFCA as described in paragraphs 4-6 above, excluding any transactions 
involving persons on the SDN List;
    8. Section 1246(a)(1)(A) of IFCA \4\ for the provision of 
underwriting services or insurance or reinsurance by non-U.S. persons 
in connection with activities involving Iran that are described in 
Sections 17.1-17.2 and 17.5 of Annex V of the JCPOA, excluding any 
transactions involving persons on the SDN List;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Pursuant to section 1246(a)(1)(C) of IFCA, the relevant 
sanction in section 1246(a)(1) continues not to apply, by its terms, 
in the case of Iranian financial institutions that have not been 
designated for the imposition of sanctions in connection with Iran's 
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or delivery systems for 
weapons of mass destruction, support for international terrorism, or 
abuses of human rights (as described in section 1246(b)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    9. Section 1246(a)(1)(B)(i) of IFCA for the provision of 
underwriting services or insurance or reinsurance by non-U.S. persons, 
excluding any transactions involving persons on the SDN List;
    10. Section 1246(a)(1)(B)(ii) of IFCA for the provision of 
underwriting services or insurance or reinsurance by non-U.S. persons 
for transactions that are within the scope of the waivers under section

excluding any transactions involving persons on the SDN List;
    11. Section 1246(a)(1)(C) of IFCA for the provision of underwriting 
services or insurance or reinsurance by non-U.S. persons to or for any 
individual or entity blocked solely pursuant to E.O. 13599, excluding 
any transactions involving persons on the SDN List;
    12. Section 1246(a) of IFCA for the provision of underwriting 
services or insurance or reinsurance by U.S. persons for the sale of 
commercial passenger aircraft and related parts and services to Iran as 
described in Section 5.1.1 of Annex II of the JCPOA, provided that OFAC 
has issued any required licenses, excluding any transactions involving 
persons on the SDN List; and
    13. Section 1247(a) of IFCA \5\ to the extent required for 
transactions by foreign financial institutions, excluding any 
transactions involving persons on the SDN List.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Pursuant to section 1247(a) of IFCA, the relevant sanction 
in section 1247(a) still continues not to apply, by its terms, in 
the case of Iranian financial institutions that have not been 
designated for the imposition of sanctions in connection with Iran's 
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or delivery systems for 
weapons of mass destruction, support for international terrorism, or 
abuses of human rights (as described in section 1247(b)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 1245(d)(5) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for FY 2012 (Pub. L. 112-81), as amended, I determine 
that it is in the national security interest of the United States to 
waive the imposition of sanctions under Section 1245(d)(1) to the 
extent necessary to implement the JCPOA, including the U.S. commitments 
with respect to sanctions described in Sections 17.1-17.2 and 17.5 of 
Annex V of the JCPOA, for transactions by foreign financial 
institutions with the Central Bank of Iran, excluding any transactions 
involving persons on the SDN List, effective as provided in the last 
paragraph below.
    Pursuant to sections 212(d)(1) and 213(b)(1) of the Iran Threat 
Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-158) (TRA) 
and section 4(c)(1)(A) of the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-
172, 50 U.S.C. 1701 note) (ISA), I find that it is vital to the 
national security interests of the United States to issue waivers 
regarding the application of sanctions under the following provisions 
for individuals and entities that engage in or propose to engage in the 
activities described in (1)-(3) below, effective as provided in the 
last paragraph below:
    1. Section 212(a) of the TRA for transactions by non-U.S. nationals 
in cases where the transactions are for activities described in 
Sections 4.2.1, 4.3, and 4.4 of Annex II of the JCPOA and do not 
involve persons on the SDN List.
    2. Section 213(a) of the TRA for transactions by non-U.S. nationals 
in cases where the transactions are for activities described in Section 
4.1.5 and 4.1.7 of Annex II of the JCPOA and do not involve persons on 
the SDN List.
    3. Section 5(a) of ISA for transactions by non-U.S. nationals in 
cases where the transactions are for activities described in Sections 
4.2.1, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.4, and 4.3.6 of Annex II of the JCPOA and do 
not involve persons on the SDN List.
    The waivers and findings set forth above shall 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.
    End of the determinations by the Secretary of State.

    Dated: October 23, 2015.
