On September 23, 2001, the President

Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50
U.S.C. 1701–1706, and the United
Nations Participation Act of 1945, 22

declared a national emergency to
address grave acts of terrorism and
threats of terrorism committed by
foreign terrorists, including the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in
New York, Pennsylvania, and at the
Pentagon. The Order imposes economic
sanctions on persons who have
committed, pose a significant risk of
committing, or support acts of terrorism.
The President identified in the Annex to
the Order, as amended by Executive
Order 13268 of July 2, 2002, 13
individuals and 16 entities as subject to
the economic sanctions. The Order was
further amended by Executive Order
13284 of January 23, 2003, to reflect the
creation of the Department of Homeland
Security.

certain exceptions, all property and
interests in property that are in or

or the possession or control of United
States persons, of: (1) Foreign persons
listed in the Annex to the Order; (2)
foreign persons determined by the
Secretary of State, in consultation with
the Secretary of the Treasury, the
Secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security and the Attorney
General, to have committed, or to pose
a significant risk of committing, acts of
terrorism that threaten the security of
U.S. nationals or the national security,
foreign policy, or economy of the United
States; (3) persons determined by the
Director of OFAC, in consultation with
the Departments of State, Homeland
Security and Justice, to be owned or
controlled by, or to act for or on behalf
of those persons listed in the Annex to
the Order or those persons determined
to be subject to subsection 1(b), 1(c), or
