On May 8, 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 adding four new Blocked Pending Investigation - Specially Designated Global Terrorist (BPI-SDGT) entries to the list; expanding the entry for Lajnat Al Daawa Al Islamiyya, an SDGT; and removing all "Unita" entries. A list of the changes to the SDN list since January 1, 2003, is attached. OFAC has asked that we distribute this 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.
