RE: OFAC UPDATE
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued two bulletins yesterday
outlining several important OFAC-related items. First, OFAC has blocked the assets of three
entities and an individual pursuant to the Narcotics Trafficking Sanctions Regulations and
amended two entries for specially designated global terrorists (SDGTs).1 Second, the President
issued an Executive Order terminating a previously declared emergency with respect to the
actions and policies of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA).
Pursuant to this Executive Order, OFAC has removed a number of entries from the SDN list.
Finally, OFAC has issued a series of general licenses amending the Iraqi Sanctions Regulations,
31 C.F.R. Part 575.
Each of these actions is summarized below. In addition, all of OFAC's SDN material and
its program brochures on Narcotics and Terrorism has been updated to reflect these changes.
Additions and Changes to the SDN List
OFAC has blocked all property and interests in property of the following, wherever
located, pending investigation pursuant to the Narcotics Trafficking Sanctions Regulations, 31
C.F.R. Part 536, and Section 203 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as

General Licenses Issues Pursuant to the Iraqi Sanctions Regulations
OFAC has issued four general licenses that amend the Iraqi Sanctions Regulations. Each
of these is summarized below. The full text of the general licenses are attached.
The first general license permits U.S. persons to transfer funds of up to $500 per month
to any person in Iraq for non-commercial humanitarian purposes, and permits U.S. financial
institutions to engage in all transactions ordinarily incident to the transfer of such funds,
5
including the opening of new correspondent accounts for funds transfers with Iraqi financial
institutions. However, this license does not authorize transfers from blocked accounts.
The second license permits U.S. government agencies and their contractors or grantees
to engage in certain otherwise prohibited transactions that are within the scope of their official
duties or the relevant U.S. government contracts or grants.
The third license permits otherwise prohibited transactions that are necessary to provide
privately financed humanitarian support, or to plan or prepare for the provision of
humanitarian support, to the Iraqi people in Iraq. Transactions authorized by this license
include, but are not limited to, the exportation to Iraq of goods and services necessary for the
provision of humanitarian support, the financing of such humanitarian support, travel-related
transactions necessary to provide humanitarian support, and related funds transfers by U.S.
financial institutions.
The fourth license authorizes certain exports and reexports of goods to Iraq.
