    This document and additional information concerning OFAC are 
available on OFAC's website: <a href="http://www.treas.gov/ofac">www.treas.gov/ofac</a>.

Background

    On April 26, 2011, OFAC issued GL 5 to authorize certain 
transactions otherwise prohibited by Executive Order (E.O.) 13566 of 
February 25, 2011, ``Blocking Property and Prohibiting Certain 
Transactions Related to Libya'' (76 FR 11315, March 2, 2011). On July 
1, 2011, OFAC incorporated the prohibitions of E.O. 13566 into the 
Libyan Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 570 (LSR). On August 19, 
2011, OFAC issued GL 6 to authorize certain transactions otherwise 
prohibited by the LSR or E.O. 13566. On September 23, 2011, OFAC issued 
GL 8A to authorize certain transactions otherwise prohibited by the 
LSR. Each GL was made available on its website (<a href="http://www.treas.gov/ofac">www.treas.gov/ofac</a>) 
when it was issued.
    On December 16, 2011, OFAC issued GL 11 to unblock all property and 
interests in property of the Government of Libya, with which 
transactions were authorized pursuant to GL 8A. On August 8, 2012, the 
interim Transitional National Council of Libya, the internationally 
recognized Libyan government with which transactions were authorized 
pursuant to GLs 5 and 6, dissolved and transferred power to the Libyan 
General National Congress. OFAC is revoking GLs 5, 6, and 8A and

[[Page 21913]]

will remove the GLs from OFAC's website. The text of these GLs is 
provided below.

Office of Foreign Assets Control Executive Order 13566 of February 25, 
2011 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Certain Transactions Related to 
Libya

GENERAL LICENSE NO. 5

Authorizing Transactions Related to Certain Oil, Gas, or Petroleum 
Products Exported From Libya

    U.S. persons are authorized to engage in transactions with or 
involving Qatar Petroleum or the Vitol group of companies related to 
oil, gas, or petroleum products exported from Libya under the auspices 
of the Transitional National Council of Libya (the ``TNC''), provided 
that neither the Government of Libya nor any other person whose 
property and interests in property are blocked--with the exception of 
Arab Gulf Oil Company (``Agoco''), as an entity operating in areas 
controlled by the TNC and under the auspices of the TNC--receives any 
benefit from such transactions.
    U.S. persons purchasing oil, gas, or petroleum products from Qatar 
Petroleum or the Vitol group of companies pursuant to this general 
license are required to submit a report to the Office of Foreign Assets 
Control detailing such transactions within 30 days of the transactions, 
including information describing due diligence mechanisms to verify 
that neither the Government of Libya nor any other person whose 
property and interests in property are blocked, with the exception of 
Agoco, is receiving any benefits from such transactions. Reports should 
be submitted to the attention of the Licensing Division, Office of 
Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury, 1500 
Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20220.

Executive Order 13566 of February 25, 2011

Blocking Property and Prohibiting Certain Transactions Related to Libya

GENERAL LICENSE NO. 6

Guidance and General License With Respect to the Transitional National 
Council of Libya as the Legitimate Governing Authority for Libya

    On February 25, 2011, the President issued Executive Order 13566 
(``E.O. 13566'') in response to the violent actions of Colonel 
Muammar Qadhafi and his government against the people of Libya, as 
well as to protect Libyan state assets from misappropriation. E.O. 
13566 blocks all property and interests in property of, inter alia, 
the Government of Libya, its agencies, instrumentalities, and 
controlled entities, and the Central Bank of Libya, as well as all 
property in which Colonel Qadhafi, certain members of his family, 
and certain senior members of his regime have an interest, unless 
otherwise authorized. On July 15, 2011, the Secretary of State 
announced that, until an interim authority is in place, the United 
States recognizes the Transitional National Council of Libya as the 
legitimate governing authority for Libya. In light of this 
recognition, E.O. 13566's prohibitions now technically encompass the 
Transitional National Council of Libya, its agencies, 
instrumentalities, and controlled entities (the ``TNC''), in 
addition to the Qadhafi regime, including its agencies, 
instrumentalities, and controlled entities. To address this, the 
Office of Foreign Assets Control is issuing the following general 
license to broadly authorize transactions with the TNC, as follows:
    (a) Effective July 15, 2011, all transactions involving the TNC 
are authorized, subject to the following limitations:
    (1) The transactions do not involve any other person whose 
property and interests in property are blocked; and
    (2) All property and interests in property blocked pursuant to 
E.O. 13566 or the Libyan Sanctions Regulations as of August 19,2011, 
remain blocked.
    (b) Except to the extent otherwise provided, all property and 
interests in property of the Qadhafi regime and persons who are 
included on OFAC's list of Specially Designated Nationals and 
Blocked Persons (the ``SDN List'') remain blocked, and all 
transactions involving the Qadhafi regime and persons who are 
included on the SDN List, including the making of any contribution 
or provision of funds, goods, or services by them, to them, or for 
their benefit, continue to be prohibited.
