*For comments on the relationship between this EO and the other Syria-related EOs incorporated into the SysR, see General Note on the Syrian Sanctions Regulations and the Relationship Between the Authorities Underlying the Regulations (System Ed. Note).

1) One of several EOs establishing situation-specific designation criteria concerning Syria.

Note that this EO is not responsible for the blocking of Syrian government property by operation of law. This EO considered such property blocked upon a (discretionary) affirmative determination that a given person or entity was "to be an agency or instrumentality of the Government of Syria, or owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Government of Syria or by an official or officials of the Government of Syria." The EO providing the basis for the blocking of the property of the Government of Syria by operation of law was Executive Order 13582 of August 17, 2011.

2) EO fully incorporated into the SySR (i.e., no provisions of this EO notable for compliance-related purposes are not incorporated).
