12866 and the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) (the '

'

APA'

'

) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date, are inapplicable. However, because of the importance of the issues raised by these regulations, this rule is issued in interim form and comments will be considered in the development of final regulations. Accordingly, the Department encourages interested persons who wish to comment to do so at the earliest possible time to permit the fullest consideration of their views. The period for submission of comments will close September 24, 2001. The Department will consider all comments received before the close of the comment period in developing final regulations. Comments received after the end of the comment period will be considered if possible, but their consideration cannot be assured. The Department will not accept public comments accompanied by a request that a part or all of the material be treated confidentially because of its business proprietary nature or for any other reason. The Department will return such comments and materials to the person submitting the comments and materials and will not consider them in the development of final regulations. In the interest of accuracy and completeness, the Department requires comments in written form. All public comments on these regulations will be a matter of public record. Copies of the public record concerning these regulations will be made available, not sooner than October 23,

2001 and may be obtained from OFAC'

s website (http://www.treas.gov/ ofac). If that service is unavailable, written requests for copies may be sent to: Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury,

1500 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington, DC 20220, Attn: Merete Evans. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601C612) does not apply. Paperwork Reduction Act The collections of information related to the Regulations are contained in

'

OMB'

'
