On June 1, 2004, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added entries to its list of significant foreign narcotics traffickers (SDNTKs) under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act. The additions should be included in each institution’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. Attached is a listing of the additions.
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.
