Office of Foreign Assets Control Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons

• On July 21, 2005, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added a number of entries to its list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDNs).
• OFAC also has published a notice on licensing policy regarding transactions with six Colombian entities designated pursuant to Executive Order 12978.
• The new entries to the SDN list and the licensing policy are attached.
• 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.
