Exports Involving the Government of Libya Suspended by Executive Order

    Under an Executive Order issued by the President on February 25, 
2011, the transfer from the United States or by any United States 
person of any product involving the Government of Libya is now legally 
prohibited unless authorized by the Department of Treasury's Office of 
Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) or exempt from the scope of the Executive 
Order. The Executive Order may be found at the following link: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/02/25/executive-order-libya

    The Executive Order applies to U.S. exports of nuclear items 
involving the Government of Libya or designated persons, regardless of 
whether such exports are otherwise authorized under NRC general or 
specific licenses. Exporters who seek to export nuclear items to Libya 
or to designated persons under specific or general NRC licenses should 
contact OFAC regarding the applicability of the Executive Order to the 
proposed nuclear exports and the availability of OFAC authorization for 
such exports.
