Executive Order 14066 of March 8, 2022
Prohibiting Certain Imports and New Investments
With Respect to Continued Russian Federation Efforts To
Undermine the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of
Ukraine
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and
section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States
of America, hereby expand the scope of the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 14024 of April
15, 2021, and relied on for additional steps taken in
Executive Order 14039 of August 20, 2021, finding that
the Russian Federation's unjustified, unprovoked,
unyielding, and unconscionable war against Ukraine,
including its recent further invasion in violation of
international law, including the United Nations
Charter, further threatens the peace, stability,
sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and
thereby constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat
to the national security and foreign policy of the
United States. Accordingly, I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) The following are prohibited:
(i) the importation into the United States of the following products of
Russian Federation origin: crude oil; petroleum; petroleum fuels, oils, and
products of their distillation; liquefied natural gas; coal; and coal
products;
(ii) new investment in the energy sector in the Russian Federation by a
United States person, wherever located; and
(iii) any approval, financing, facilitation, or guarantee by a United
States person, wherever located, of a transaction by a foreign person where
the transaction by that foreign person would be prohibited by this section
if performed by a United States person or within the United States.
(b) 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 license or
permit granted prior to the date of this order.
Sec. 2. (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.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the
prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 3. Nothing in this order shall prohibit
transactions for the conduct of the official business
of the Federal Government or the United Nations
(including its specialized agencies, programs, funds,
and related organizations) by employees, grantees, or
contractors thereof.
Sec. 4. For the purposes of this order:
(a) the term ``entity'' means a partnership,
association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group,
subgroup, or other organization;
(b) the term ``person'' means an individual or
entity; and
[[Page 13626]]
(c) the term ``United States person'' means any
United States citizen, lawful permanent resident,
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.
Sec. 5. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to
take such actions, including the promulgation of rules
and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to
the President by IEEPA, as may be necessary to carry
out the purposes of this order. The Secretary of the
Treasury may, consistent with applicable law,
redelegate any of these functions within the Department
of the Treasury. All executive departments and agencies
of the United States shall take all appropriate
measures within their authority to implement this
order.
Sec. 6. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to
impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) 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.
