Notice of OFAC Actions

On June 6, 2003, OFAC issued the GTSR (68 FR 34196, June 6, 2003) to implement E.O. 13224. OFAC has amended the GTSR on several occasions.

On August 2, 2017, the President signed into law the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, Public Law 115-44, Aug. 2, 2017, 131 Stat. 886 (22 U.S.C. 9401 et seq.) (CAATSA). Section 105(b) of CAATSA requires the President to impose the sanctions applicable with respect to a foreign person pursuant to the global terrorism Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 (66 FR 49079, September 25, 2001) (E.O. 13224) on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and foreign persons that are officials, agents, or affiliates of the IRGC. Such sanctions must be imposed beginning on the date that is 90 days after enactment of CAATSA, which was October 31, 2017.

Consistent with Section 105(b) of CAATSA, OFAC designated the IRGC on October 13, 2017, pursuant to E.O. 13224 for providing support to the IRGC-Qods Force, which previously had been designated for its support to various terrorist groups. OFAC also issued an amendment to the GTSR, effective October 31, 2017, adding Sec. 594.201(a)(5) to Subpart B of the GTSR to include the following as persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to the GTSR: Foreign persons that are identified on the SDN List maintained by OFAC as officials, agents, or affiliates of the IRGC (82 FR 50313, October 31, 2017).

The names of persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to section 594.201(a) of the GTSR are published in the Federal Register and incorporated into the SDN List with the identifier ``SDGT.'' Upon publication of the above-referenced GTSR amendment in the Federal Register on October 31, 2017, the following 41 persons became persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to section 594.201(a)(5) of the GTSR. Accordingly, OFAC has added the reference ``SDGT'' to their SDN List entries.
