Termination of Restrictions on Importation of, and Certification Requirements for, Nickel and Nickel-Bearing Materials Originating in the Soviet Union or Its Successor States

Resumo

The Office of Foreign Assets Control is lifting its 1983 ban on the importation into the United States of unfabricated nickel and nickel-bearing materials from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (the ``USSR'') and its successor states. In light of this action, the Office of Foreign Assets Control is also eliminating the administrative procedure established in 1990, whereby certain nickel and nickel- bearing materials originating in the Russian Republic of the USSR could be imported only if accompanied by special certificates of origin issued by VVO Raznoimport. DATES: February 8, 1994. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gloria G. Brown, Sanctions Program Officer (tel.: 202/622-2500), or William B. Hoffman, Chief Counsel (tel.: 202/622-2410), Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20220.
