Regulatory Alerts2024-09-17 | 2024-20857Updating Provisions Related to Blocking and Other Actions Related to Specific Property or Interests in Property
The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued a final rule clarifying its processes for issuing orders that block specific property or interests in property or impose prohibitions less than full blocking. The rule amends regulatory notes in 35 parts of 31 CFR chapter V to detail three types of tailored actions, including identifying blocked property of designated persons, blocking assets pending investigation, and imposing non-blocking restrictions. It also updates notice requirements and procedures for affected persons to seek release of blocked property or administrative reconsideration of OFAC actions.

Warnings must include the following statement, where applicable: ‘‘Due to the potential for variability in [analyte] measurements across different [analyte] assays, it is recommended that the same device be used for the quantitation of [analyte] when managing individual patients.’’ (iv) A detailed explanation of the principles of operation and procedures for assay performance. (2) Design verification and validation must include the following: (i) Detailed documentation of the device description, including all parts that make up the device, ancillary reagents required for use with the assay but not provided, an explanation of the methodology, design of the primer/ probe sequences, rationale for the selected gene target, and specifications for amplicon size, guanine-cytosine content, and degree of nucleic acid sequence conservation. The design and nature of all primary, secondary and tertiary quantitation standards used for calibration must also be described. (ii) A detailed description of the impact of any software, including software applications and hardwarebased devices that incorporate software, on the device’s functions; (iii) Documentation and characterization (e.g., determination of the identity, supplier, purity, and stability) of all critical reagents and protocols for maintaining product integrity throughout its labeled shelflife. (iv) Stability data for reagents provided with the device and indicated specimen types, in addition to the basis for the stability acceptance criteria at all time points chosen across the spectrum of the device’s indicated life cycle, which must include a time point at the end of shelf life. (v) All stability protocols, including acceptance criteria. (vi) Final lot release criteria along with documentation of an appropriate justification that lots released at the extremes of the specifications will meet the claimed analytical and clinical performance characteristics as well as the stability claims. (vii) Risk analysis and documentation demonstrating how risk control measures are implemented to address device system hazards, such as Failure Mode Effects Analysis and/or Hazard Analysis. This documentation must include a detailed description of a protocol (including all procedures and methods) for the continuous monitoring, identification, and handling of genetic mutations and/or novel viral stains (e.g., regular review of published literature and annual in silico analysis of target sequences to detect possible primer or probe mismatches). All results of this protocol, including any findings, must be documented. (viii) Analytical performance testing that includes: (A) Detailed documentation of the following analytical performance studies: limit of detection, upper and lower limits of quantitation, inclusivity, precision, reproducibility, interference, cross reactivity, carry-over, quality control, specimen stability studies, and additional studies as applicable to specimen type and intended use for the device; (B) Identification of the viral strains selected for use in analytical studies, which must be representative of clinically relevant circulating strains; (C) Inclusivity study results obtained with a variety of viral genotypes as applicable to the specific assay target and supplemented by in silico analysis; (D) Reproducibility studies that include the testing of three independent production lots; (E) Documentation of calibration to a reference standard that FDA has determined is appropriate for the quantification of viral DNA or RNA (e.g., a recognized consensus standard); and (F) Documentation of traceability performed each time a new lot of the standardized reference material to which the device is traceable is released, or when the field transitions to a new standardized reference material. (ix) Clinical performance testing that includes: (A) Detailed documentation from either a method comparison study with a comparator that FDA has determined is appropriate, or results from a prospective clinical study demonstrating clinical validity of the device; (B) Data from patient samples, with an acceptable number of the virus-positive samples containing an analyte concentration near the lower limit of quantitation and any clinically relevant decision points. If an acceptable number of virus-positive samples containing an analyte concentration near the lower limit of quantitation and any clinically relevant decision cannot be obtained, contrived samples may be used to supplement sample numbers when appropriate, as determined by FDA; (C) The method comparison study must include predefined maximum acceptable differences between the test and comparator method across all primary outcome measures in the clinical study protocol; and (D) The final release test results for each lot used in the clinical study.

75956 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 17, 2024 / Rules and Regulations orders that block or identify as blocked specific property or interests in property, or that impose other nonblocking prohibitions with respect to specific property or interests in property. International Emergency Economic Powers Act The 35 parts of 31 CFR chapter V that are the subject of this rule implement OFAC’s authority to block the property and interests in property of persons pursuant to, among other authorities, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (IEEPA). IEEPA includes authority to investigate, block during the pendency of an investigation, regulate, direct and compel, nullify, void, prevent or prohibit, any acquisition, holding, withholding, use, transfer, withdrawal, transportation, importation or exportation of, or dealing in, or exercising any right, power, or privilege with respect to, or transaction involving, any property in which any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. 50 U.S.C. 1702(a)(1)(B). Other statutes provide similar authority. OFAC’s actions rely on the President’s delegation of those authorities under one or more Executive orders. Such orders typically authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to designate persons who meet specified criteria, and they provide that all property and interests in property within U.S. jurisdiction of such persons is blocked. These orders also authorize the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to take such actions and to employ all powers granted to the President under IEEPA or other applicable statutory authorities as may be necessary to carry out their purpose, and they provide that blocking prohibitions apply except to the extent provided in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses OFAC may issue. See, e.g., section 1(d) of Executive Order (E.O.) 14024. Actions With Respect to Specific Property or Interests in Property The most common way OFAC exercises its authority is by designating a person and placing that person on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). Once designated, all property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction of the designated person are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions involving any property or interest in property of the designated person. However, in certain cases, OFAC may exercise its authority in narrower ways. These actions include issuing orders or directives that impose prohibitions less than fully blocking the entirety of a person’s property and interests in property as circumstances require. Such tailored actions are based on a combination of OFAC’s authority to block all property of a designated person and its authority to narrow the scope of such broad prohibitions through orders, directives, or licenses. This rule identifies three forms that such actions by OFAC may take: (1) identifying property or interests in property as blocked pursuant to OFAC’s authority due to an interest of an already blocked person, including where such interest may not be apparent to the public; (2) blocking specific property or interests in property of a person who is not already blocked but whom OFAC is investigating for potential designation; and (3) blocking or imposing other prohibitions with respect to a person’s specific property or interests in property less than full blocking sanctions. First, OFAC may act to aid relevant parties by identifying the property or interests in property of already blocked persons, particularly in cases in which OFAC has access to information supporting its determination that a blocked person has an interest in specific property. In such cases, OFAC may identify specific property in which OFAC determines a blocked person has an interest and issue an order to financial institutions or other persons in possession or control of such property to block such property. OFAC may also exercise its blocking authorities in this manner upon review of financial transaction information received from U.S. financial institutions following OFAC’s requirements that such financial institutions provide reports about accounts or transactions that meet specified criteria. See note 1 to 31 CFR 501.602. Second, OFAC may identify property or interests in property of a person who is not blocked, but whom OFAC is investigating for potential designation. To ensure that this property or interest in property is not transferred before OFAC designates the person, OFAC may issue an order to financial institutions or other persons in possession or control of such property or interest in property to block it pending investigation. Third, in certain other cases, OFAC may block or impose other prohibitions with respect to specific property or interests in property less than full blocking sanctions. For example, OFAC may consider designating a person but determine U.S. national security or foreign policy interests are better served by prohibitions that may be narrower than blocking the entirety of the person’s property and interests in property. In such cases, OFAC would determine that a person meets the criteria for designation but would take action less than blocking the entirety of a person’s property and interests in property. This action may take various forms, including an order to the financial institutions or other persons in possession or control of the specific property or interests in property or a directive imposing non-blocking restrictions. For example, in 2014 OFAC issued directives pursuant to sec. 1(b) of Executive Order 13662 that prohibited certain dealings in debt and equity of persons operating in those sectors of the Russian Federation economy identified by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to sec. 1(a)(i) of Executive Order 13662. Provision of Notice Persons affected by any type of OFAC prohibition should have an opportunity to understand the nature of OFAC’s action and its impact on their property or interests in property. The form of notice may differ depending on the type of action OFAC takes or order it issues and the specific facts of an action. OFAC may publish notice of its action in the Federal Register, which provides the public with constructive notice of the action. This is the form of notice OFAC uses for designation actions because it ensures that anyone who may come into contact with a designated person or their property or interests in property is aware of the designation. When OFAC takes more tailored action with respect to specific property or interests in property, the public may not always require notice of the action through publication in the Federal Register, and it may be more appropriate to provide actual notice specifically to a person affected by the prohibition. OFAC may do so by providing written notice of OFAC’s order to one or more persons OFAC assesses to have an interest in the property based on available information. OFAC may provide such notice directly to such affected persons or indirectly through financial institutions or other transaction intermediaries, who would be required to notify the affected persons with whom the recipient maintains direct commercial relationships. In many cases, requiring a transaction intermediary to disclose a blocking order may be the most efficient VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:25 Sep 16, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\17SER1.SGM 17SER1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 17, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 75957 1OFAC’s authority to ‘‘regulate’’ transactions includes the authority to require a participant in a transaction who is subject to U.S. jurisdiction to provide notice to its direct commercial counterparts when the transaction is blocked. 50 U.S.C. 1702(a)(1)(B). and effective means of providing notice because a transaction intermediary maintains direct commercial relationships through which affected persons may inquire about the status of their funds.1 Current Regulatory Action This rule amends notes to the blocking provisions in subpart B of OFAC’s regulations in 35 parts of 31 CFR chapter V (the ‘‘subject parts’’). The blocking provisions are in §lll.201 in the following parts of 31 CFR: 510, 525, 526, 536, 542, 544, 546, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 552, 553, 555, 558, 562, 569, 570, 576, 578, 579, 582, 583, 584, 585, 587, 588, 589, 590, 591, 594, and 599. In part 536, in addition to amending § 536.201, OFAC is amending notes to § 536.312, the definition of specially designated narcotics trafficker, because that definition discusses blocked property and blocking orders. In part 560, the blocking provisions are in § 560.211. In part 598, the blocking provisions are in § 598.202, and in addition to amending that section, OFAC is amending § 598.314, the definition of specially designated narcotics trafficker, because that definition discusses blocked property and blocking orders. Specifically, this rule adds a note to the subject parts describing the three types of actions OFAC may take with respect to specific property or interests in property, the forms of notice that OFAC may use, and how affected persons can contact OFAC with inquiries about these actions. Additionally, this rule amends an existing note to the subject parts regarding OFAC’s blocking of property and interests in property pending investigation. OFAC is amending the note to make clear that the procedure of publishing the names of persons blocked during the pendency of an investigation in the Federal Register will not necessarily apply when OFAC takes an action to block specific property or interests in property pending investigation. Finally, OFAC is updating the note in the subject parts that explains the procedures for seeking release of blocked property or administrative reconsideration of OFAC actions to add information about additional unblocking procedures available to blocked or otherwise affected persons. In certain parts, OFAC is making other technical or other conforming updates to the notes. 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 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. List of Subjects in 31 CFR Parts 510, 525, 526, 536, 542, 544, 546, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 552, 553, 555, 558, 560, 562, 569, 570, 576, 578, 579, 582, 583, 584, 585, 587, 588, 589, 590, 591, 594, 598, and 599 Administrative practice and procedure, Banks, Banking, Blocking of assets, Credit, Foreign trade, Penalties, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Sanctions, Securities, Services.
