The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is issuing a final rule to remove the Burundi Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 554, from the Code of Federal Regulations.

The rule is currently available for public inspection with the Federal Register and will take effect upon publication in the Federal Register on February 11, 2022.
