Foreign Assets Control Office May 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (``OFAC'') is adding a new part to the Code of Federal Regulations to implement Executive Order 13413 of October 27, 2006, ``Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.''

The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (``OFAC'') is amending the Terrorism List Governments Sanctions Regulations so that the schedule to which a prohibition section refers lists those countries that are currently designated as supporting international terrorism, instead of the countries that were designated as of the effective date of these regulations. This amendment also removes Iraq, Libya, and North Korea from the schedule, because these countries are no longer designated as state sponsors of terrorism.
