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.
