Inactive Financial Institution Letters

FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL ACT

FIL-37-2000
June 16, 2000

TO: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
SUBJECT: Specially Designated Nationals, Narcotics Traffickers and Blocked Persons

On June 1, 2000, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) updated its listing of specially designated nationals and blocked persons to include the names of significant foreign narcotics traffickers identified by President Clinton pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.

Attached is information from OFAC containing all changes to the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons since January 1, 2000. OFAC has asked that we distribute the update to all FDIC-regulated institutions so records can be checked for accounts that are required to be blocked. OFAC information also may be found on the Internet at https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/office-of-foreign-assets-control-sanctions-programs-and-information .

Please distribute this information to the appropriate personnel in your institution. For further information about Executive Orders, the list of blocked accounts or the procedures to block accounts, please call OFAC's Compliance Programs Division at 1-800-540-6322. For your reference, all FDIC Financial Institution Letters published since January of 1995 may be found on the FDIC's Web site at www.fdic.gov under "News, Events & FOIA."
