BIS published a CFR correction to the Entity List (15 CFR Part 744, Supplement No. 4) fixing the entry for Kaliningradnefteprodukt OOO, a Russian petroleum products distributor based in Kaliningrad originally designated in February 2018 under Executive Order 13662 for operating in Russia's energy sector and being controlled by a sanctioned person. The correction updates the entity's name spelling and address details; the underlying license requirement (all EAR items for use in §746.5 Russian industry sector projects, presumption of denial) remains unchanged.

Analyst notesShow

Mechanism

This document is a narrow CFR technical correction, not a new substantive rulemaking. It amends Supplement No. 4 to 15 CFR Part 744 (the BIS Entity List) to correct the listing for Kaliningradnefteprodukt OOO (also known as: Kaliningradnefteprodukt LLC; Limited Liability Company Kaliningradnefteproduct; LLC Kaliningradnefteproduct), located at 22-b Komsomolskaya Ulitsa, Central District, Kaliningrad, Russia.

The entity was originally designated on February 16, 2018 (83 FR 6952) in connection with U.S. Treasury/OFAC sanctions under Executive Order 13662, which targets persons operating in Russia's energy sector or acting on behalf of sanctioned entities. An amended entry followed on March 22, 2018 (83 FR 12479). This June 2022 correction updates spelling/formatting in the entry without altering the substantive restriction.

License requirement: A license is required for all items subject to the EAR when those items are intended for use in the projects or activities specified in 15 CFR § 746.5 (Russian Industry Sector Sanctions). BIS applies a presumption of denial for any such license applications.

Company profile: Kaliningradnefteprodukt OOO is a petroleum products distribution company in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia's exclave on the Baltic Sea. It is not publicly traded and has no significant ETF exposure.

Downstream implications

No new restrictions are created; this correction merely aligns the CFR text with the intended

listing as previously published and amended in 2018.

Any exporter who had been relying on the prior (technically erroneous) CFR text to determine

license requirements for Kaliningradnefteprodukt is now on notice of the corrected entry.

The underlying §746.5 Russian Industry Sector Sanctions remain a standing restriction applicable

to all EAR-subject items destined for Russian energy sector projects, independent of this correction.

Open questions

No open questions; this is a resolved CFR technical correction with no substantive policy dimension.
