Assets blocked pursuant to the Trading
With the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1-44, and the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701, may be released only
through a specific license issued by the Office of Foreign Assets
Control (OFAC). Such licenses are issued in response to
applications submitted by persons or institutions whose money has
been blocked. While OFAC has for many years required certain
information to be included in each license application (see 31 CFR
part 501), the subject form, which provides a standardized method
for all to be available in electronic form on our website, is
new.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
