Notice of OFAC Actions

    A. The national emergency declared in Executive Order (E.O.) 13936
of July 14, 2020, ``The President's Executive Order on Hong Kong
Normalization,'' with respect to Hong Kong, was not continued in effect
beyond July 14, 2026. Accordingly, the persons listed below, whose
property had been blocked solely pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), have been removed from the SDN
List, and their property and interests in property subject to U.S.
jurisdiction are no longer blocked.

    B. The following persons were previously designated by the U.S.
Department of State pursuant to E.O. 13936 and added to the SDN List.
Certain of these persons were included in a report submitted by the
Secretary of

[[Page 46229]]

State under section 5(a) of the HKAA, and certain persons were included
in reports submitted by the Secretary of State under section 5(e) of
the HKAA, in 2020 and 2021. Section 5(a)(2) of the HKAA therefore
requires these persons to be subject to the sanctions described in
section 6(b) of the HKAA. In light of the termination of the national
emergency declared in E.O. 13936, the sanctions prohibitions authorized
only by IEEPA have been terminated, while the sanctions prohibitions
authorized and required by the HKAA are continuing. Accordingly, all
property and interests in property of persons included in reports
submitted under section 5(a) and section 5(e) of the HKAA remain
blocked, and all transactions with these persons are prohibited, except
for the importation of goods. OFAC is therefore moving these persons
from the SDN List to the NS-MBS List. The information below reflects
the amended entries on the NS-MBS List.
