SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Electronic Availability
This document and additional information concerning OFAC are available on OFAC's website:
https://ofac.treasury.gov .
Background
In this rule, OFAC is updating contact information by removing a phone number or office name or replacing a website address in the following places in 31 CFR chapter V : parts 501, 510, 525, 526, 536, 544, 546, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 552, 553, 555, 558, 560, 561, 562, 566, 569, 570, 576, 578, 579, 582, 583, 584, 585, 586, 587, 588, 589, 590, 591, 594, 596, 598, and 599 and appendix A to chapter V. Additionally, OFAC is updating general licenses authorizing payments for legal services from funds originating outside the United States to replace the reporting requirement in the general license with a recordkeeping requirement in part 546. In the Hostages and Wrongful Detention Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 526 , OFAC is correcting an erroneous cross-reference in note 1 to § 526.201 to remove the words “part 501 of” from “appendix A to part 501 of this chapter.” Lastly, OFAC is amending parts 553 and 598 to correct typographical errors.
Public Participation
Because the Regulations involve a foreign affairs function, the provisions of E.O. 12866 of September 30, 1993, “Regulatory Planning and Review” (58 FR 51735 , October 4, 1993), as amended, and the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553 ) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date, as well as the provisions of E.O. 14192 of January 31, 2025, “Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation” (90 FR 6065 , February 6, 2025) and E.O. 14219 of February 19, 2025, “Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President's “Department of Government Efficiency” Deregulatory Initiative” (90 FR 10583 , February 25, 2025) are inapplicable. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612 ) does not apply.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The collections of information related to the Regulations are contained in 31 CFR part 501 (the “Reporting, Procedures and Penalties Regulations”). Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507 ), those collections of information have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 1505-0164. 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 control number.
