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

1(d)(i) of the Order; and (4) except as provided in section 5 of the
Order and after such consultation, if any, with foreign authorities as
the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and the
Attorney General, deems appropriate in the exercise of his discretion,

Departments of State, Homeland Security and Justice, to assist in,
