collection contained within Sec. 501.807 of OFAC's Reporting,
Procedures and Penalties Regulations (the ``Regulations''), which
pertains to the operation of the various economic sanctions programs
administered by OFAC under 31 CFR chapter V. Section 501.807 sets forth
the procedures to be followed by a person seeking administrative
reconsideration of the listing of a person or property (e.g., a vessel)
on OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN
List) or any other list or identification of sanctioned persons or
property maintained by OFAC. OFAC is seeking approval of an electronic
Sanctions Reconsideration Portal that would gather specific information
from the petitioner and provide a more efficient process for collecting
and reviewing applications for reconsideration. Petitioner use of the
Sanctions Reconsideration Portal will be voluntary. OFAC is not making
any changes to other collections or other forms associated with this
control number.
The reports covered by this information collection will be reviewed
by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and may be used for sanctions
designations, compliance, civil penalty, and enforcement purposes by
the agency.
Forms: The proposed Sanctions Reconsideration Portal information
collection covered by this notice will contain a list of questions to
provide electronically regarding the reasons and supporting information
for the petitioner's request for consideration of removal from an OFAC
sanctions list.
Affected Public: Persons sanctioned by OFAC and their authorized
representatives.
Estimated Number of Respondents: OFAC's estimate for the number of
unique reporting respondents is approximately 300 per year based on
prior data.
Frequency of Response: The estimated annual frequency of responses
is approximately once.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: The estimated total
number of responses per year is approximately 300.
Estimated Time Per Response: OFAC assesses that the average time
estimate for submitting a reconsideration report will be 3 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: The estimated total annual
reporting burden is approximately 900 hours.
Request for Comments
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become
a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) whether the
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates
of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and
purchase of services required to provide information.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
