On May 29, 2003, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) released a bulletin indicating that Executive Order 13304 had been issued. The Executive Order terminated the declaration of emergencies with respect to Yugoslavia and modified Executive Order 13219. More specifically, it deleted certain entries for the Balkans and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia - Milosevic (FRYM) on OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) list and substituted a new list of entries for these countries. In addition, AL-AQSA Foundation, with numerous other names, has been listed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). A listing of the new entries is attached.
OFAC has asked that we distribute the information to all FDIC-supervised institutions so records can be checked for accounts that are required to be blocked. Additional information concerning OFAC-related issues may be found on the Internet at www.treas.gov/ofac/.
Please distribute this information to the appropriate personnel in your institution. For further information about Executive Orders or control regulations, please call OFAC's Compliance Programs Division at 1-800-540-6322.
