FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL ACT

FIL-24-2003
April 2, 2003

TO: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (also of interest to BSA Compliance Officer)
SUBJECT: Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons
Summary: Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has amended its list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons by changing the status of one entity and adding names to its list of Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers.

On March 21, 2003, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) amended its list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDNs) by changing the status of one entity - from "blocked pending investigation" to Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers (SDNTs) - and by adding the names of various persons and entities to its list of SDNTs. Attached is a list of the newly designated SDNs.

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. 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.
