Office of Foreign Assets Control Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons

• The President issued a new Executive Order, "Blocking Property of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferators and Their Supporters," which became effective June 29, 2005. As a result, on June 29, 2005, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added several entries to its list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN).
• OFAC has asked that we distribute the information to all FDIC-supervised institutions.
• 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.
