States person or within the United S
tates.

The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section
apply except to the extent provided by statutes, or in
regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued
pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered
into or a
ny license or permit granted prior to the

Sec
.

All property and interests in property that

ereafter come within the
United
States, or that are or hereafter come within the
2
possession
or control of any Unit
ed States person (including
any
foreign branch) of the follow
ing persons are blocked and

t to the extent provided by statutes, or in
regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued
pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered

S
ec
.
3
. I hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and
nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined
to meet one or more of the criteria in subsection 2(a) of this
order would be detrimental to the interests of the United
States, and I
hereby suspend entry into the United States, as
immigrants or nonimmigrants, of such persons. Such persons
shall be treated as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation
8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to
United Nations Secu
rity Council Travel Bans and International
Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).
Sec
.
4
.
I hereby determine that the making of donations of
the type of articles specified in
section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA
(50
U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit
of any person
whose property and interests in p
roperty are blocked pursuant
to
section 2 of this order would seriously impair my ability to
deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13660, and expanded in Executiv
e Orders 13661 and 1366
2, and
I
hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 2 of
this order.
Sec
.
5
.
The prohibitions in section 2 of this order
include but are not limited to:
(a)
the making of any contribution or provision of funds,
goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person
whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to
this order; and
(b)
the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds,
goods, or services from any such person.
Sec
.
6
.
(a)
Any transaction that evades or avoids, has
the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation of, or
attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this
order is prohibited.
3
(b)
Any c
onspiracy formed to violate any of the
prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec
.
7
.
Nothing in this order shall prohibit transactions
for the conduct of the official business of the
United States
Government by employees, grantees, or contr
actors thereof.
Sec
.
8
.
For the purposes of this order:
(a)
the term
"
person
"
means an individual or entity;
(b)
the term
"
entity
"
means a partnership, association,
trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other
organization;
(c)
the term
"
United States person
"
means any
United
States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity
organized under the laws of the United States or any
jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign
branches), or any person in the United States
; a
nd
(d)
the term
"
Crimea region of Ukraine
"
includes the land
territory in that region as well as any maritime area over which
sovereignty, sovereign rights, or jurisdiction is claimed based
on purported sovereignty over that land territory
.
Sec
.
9
.
For
those persons
whose property and interests
in
property are blocked pursuant
to this order who might have
a
constitutional presence in the United States, I find that
because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets
instantaneously, prior notice to
such p
ersons of measures to
be
taken pursuant to this order would render those measures
ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to
be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13660 and expanded in Execu
tive O
rders 13661
and
13662, there need be no prior notice of a listing or
determination made pursuant to section 2 of this order.
Sec
.
10
.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to take such
acti
ons, including the promulgation of rules and regulations,
and to employ all powers grante
d to the President by IEEPA,
as
may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this order.
The Secretary of the Treasury may redelegate any of these
functions to other
officers and agencies of the United States
Government consistent with applicable l
aw. All agencies of
the
United
States Government are hereby directed to take all
appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the
provisions of this order.
Sec
.
1
1
.
This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity
by any party against the
United
States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its
officers, employees, or agents,
or any other person.
Sec
.
1
2
.
This order is effective at
3:30 p.m. eastern
standard time on December 19, 2014
.
BARACK OBAMA
THE WHITE HOUSE,
