TREASURY/DO .120

System name:
    Records Related to Office of Foreign Assets Control Economic 
Sanctions.

System location:
    Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Treasury Annex, 1500 
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20220 or other U.S. Government 
facilities.

Categories of individuals covered by the system:
    A system of records within Treasury's Departmental Offices exists 
to manage records related to the implementation, enforcement, and 
administration of U.S. economic sanctions. This includes records and 
information relating to individuals who:
    (1) Are or have been subject to investigation to determine whether 
they meet the criteria for designation or blocking and/or are 
determined to be designated or blocked individuals or otherwise subject 
to sanctions under the sanctions programs administered by OFAC, or with 
respect to whom information has been obtained by OFAC in connection 
with such an investigation;
    (2) Engaged in or are suspected of having engaged in transactions 
and activities prohibited by Treasury Department regulations found at 
31 CFR part 1, subpart B, chapter V, relevant statutes, and related 
Executive orders or proclamations, or with respect to whom information 
has been obtained by OFAC in connection with an investigation of such 
transactions and activities;
    (3) Are applicants for permissive and authorizing licenses or 
already hold valid licenses under Treasury Department regulations, 
relevant statutes, and related Executive orders or proclamations;
    (4) Hold blocked assets. Although most persons (individuals and 
entities) reporting the holding of blocked assets or persons holding 
blocked assets are not individuals, such reports and censuses conducted 
by OFAC identify a small number of U.S. individuals as holders of 
assets subject to U.S. jurisdiction which are blocked under the various 
sets of Treasury Department regulations involved, relevant statutes,

[[Page 216]]

and related Executive orders or proclamations; or
    (5) Submitted claims received, reviewed, and/or processed by OFAC 
for payment determination pursuant to Section 2002 of the Victims of 
Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-386, 
Section 2002).

Categories of records in the system:
    Records related to the implementation, enforcement, and 
administration of U.S. sanctions programs, including records related 
to:
    (1) Investigations to determine whether an individual meets the 
criteria for designation or blocking and/or is determined to be a 
designated or blocked individual or otherwise affected by one or more 
sanctions programs administered by OFAC. In the course of an 
investigation, personally identifiable information is collected. Once 
an individual is designated, OFAC provides personally identifiable 
information to the public so that it can recognize listed individuals 
and prevent them from accessing the U.S. financial system. The release 
of personally identifiable information pertaining to the designee is 
also important in helping to protect other individuals from being 
improperly identified as the sanctioned target. The personally 
identifiable information collected by OFAC may include, but is not 
limited to, names and aliases, dates of birth, citizenship information, 
addresses, identification numbers associated with government-issued 
documents, such as driver's license and passport numbers, and for U.S. 
individuals, Social Security numbers;
    (2) Suspected or actual violations of regulations, relevant 
statutes, and related Executive orders or proclamations administered by 
OFAC;
    (3) Applications for OFAC licenses--with attendant supporting 
documentary material and copies of licenses issued--related to engaging 
in activities with designated entities and individuals or other 
activities that otherwise would be prohibited by relevant statutes, 
regulations, and Executive orders or proclamations administered by 
OFAC, including reports by individuals and entities currently holding 
Treasury licenses concerning transactions which the license holder has 
conducted pursuant to the licenses;
    (4) Reports and censuses of assets blocked or held by U.S. 
individuals and entities which have been blocked at any time since 1940 
pursuant to Treasury Department regulations found at 31 CFR part 1, 
subpart B, chapter V, relevant statutes, and related Executive orders 
or proclamations; or
    (5) Submitted claims received, reviewed, and/or processed by OFAC 
for payment determinations pursuant to Section 2002 of the Victims of 
Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-386).

31 CFR Chapter V.

Purpose(s):
    This system of records exists within Treasury's Departmental 
Offices to manage records related to the implementation, enforcement, 
and administration of U.S. economic sanctions by OFAC. Included in this 
system of records are records:
    (1) Relating to investigations into whether individuals and 
entities meet the criteria for economic sanctions under U.S. sanctions 
programs administered by OFAC. This portion of the system of records 
may be used during enforcement, designation, blocking, and other 
investigations, when applicable. These records are also used to produce 
the publicly issued List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked 
Persons (SDN List). The SDN List is used to publish information that 
will assist the public in identifying individuals and entities whose 
property and interests in property are blocked or otherwise affected by 
one or more sanctions programs administered by OFAC, as well as 
information identifying certain property of individuals and entities 
that are subject to OFAC economic sanctions programs, such as vessels.
    (2) Relating to investigations of individuals and entities 
suspected of violating statutes, regulations, or Executive orders 
administered by OFAC. Possible violations may relate to financial, 
commercial, or other transactions with persons on whom sanctions have 
been imposed, including but not limited to foreign governments, blocked 
persons (entities and individuals), and specially designated nationals 
(entities and individuals). OFAC conducts civil investigations of 
possible violations. When it determines that a violation has occurred, 
OFAC issues a civil penalty or takes other administrative action, when 
appropriate. Criminal investigations of possible violations are 
conducted by relevant U.S. law enforcement agencies. OFAC refers 
criminal matters to those agencies and otherwise exchanges information 
with them to support the investigation and prosecution of possible 
violations. Records of enforcement investigations and resulting 
administrative actions are also used to generate statistical 
information.
    (3) Containing requests from U.S. and foreign individuals or 
entities for licenses to engage in commercial or humanitarian 
transactions, to unblock property and bank accounts, or to engage in 
other activities otherwise prohibited under economic sanctions 
administered by OFAC. This also includes information collected in the 
course of determining whether to issue a license and ensuring its 
proper use, as well as reports by individuals and entities currently 
holding Treasury licenses concerning transactions which the license 
holder conducted pursuant to the licenses. This portion of the system 
of records may be used during enforcement investigations, to ascertain 
whether there is compliance with the conditions of ongoing OFAC 
licenses, and to generate information used in reports on the number and 
types of licenses granted or denied under particular sanctions 
programs.
    (4) Used to identify and administer assets of blocked foreign 
governments, groups, entities, or individuals. OFAC receives reports of 
asset blocking actions by U.S. entities and individuals when assets are 
blocked under the sanctions programs OFAC administers; when censuses 
are taken at various times for specific sanctions programs to identify 
the location, type, and value of property blocked under OFAC-
administered programs; and when OFAC obtains information regarding 
blockable assets in the course of its investigations. Most blocked 
asset information is obtained by requiring reports from all U.S. 
holders of blocked property subject to OFAC reporting requirements. The 
reports normally contain information such as the name of the U.S. 
holder, the account party, the location of the property, and a 
description of the type and value of the asset. In some instances, 
adverse claims by U.S. entities and individuals against the blocked 
property are also reported. This portion of the system of records may 
be used during enforcement, designation, blocking, and other 
investigations as well as to produce reports and respond to requests 
for information.
    (5) Used to support determinations made by OFAC pursuant to Section 
2002 of Pub. L. 106-386, the Victims of Trafficking and Violence 
Protection Act of 2000, including the facilitating of

[[Page 217]]

payments provided for under the Act. OFAC has reported its 
determinations to other parts of Treasury to facilitate payment on 
claims.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    These records may be used to:
    (1) Disclose information to further the efforts of appropriate 
Federal, state, local, or foreign agencies in investigating or 
prosecuting the violations of, or for enforcing or implementing, a 
statute, rule, regulation, order, license, or agreement;
    (2) Disclose information to a Federal, state, local, or foreign 
agency, maintaining civil, criminal, or other relevant enforcement 
information or other pertinent information, which has requested 
information necessary or relevant to the requesting agency's official 
functions;
    (3) Disclose information to the Departments of State, Justice, 
Homeland Security, Commerce, Defense, or Energy, or other federal 
agencies, in connection with Treasury licensing policy or other matters 
of mutual interest or concern;
    (4) Provide information to appropriate national security and/or 
foreign-policy-making officials in the Executive branch to ensure that 
the management of OFAC's sanctions programs is consistent with U.S. 
foreign policy and national security goals;
    (5) Disclose information relating to blocked property to 
appropriate state agencies for activities or efforts connected to 
abandoned property;
    (6) Disclose information to a court, magistrate, or administrative 
tribunal in the course of presenting evidence, including disclosure to 
opposing counsel or witnesses in the course of civil discovery, 
litigation, or settlement negotiations, or in response to a Court 
order, or in connection with criminal law proceedings, when such 
information is determined to be arguably relevant to the proceeding;
    (7) Provide information to a Congressional office in response to an 
inquiry made at the request of the individual to whom the record 
pertains;
    (8) Disclose information to foreign governments and entities, and 
multilateral organizations--such as Interpol, the United Nations, and 
international financial institutions--consistent with law and in 
accordance with formal or informal international agreements, or for an 
enforcement, licensing, investigatory, or national security purpose;
    (9) Provide information to third parties during the course of an 
investigation or an enforcement action to the extent necessary to 
obtain information pertinent to the investigation or to carry out an 
enforcement action;
    (10) Provide access to information to any agency, entity, or 
individual for purposes of performing authorized security, audit, or 
oversight operations or meeting related reporting requirements;
    (11) Disclose information to appropriate agencies, entities, and 
persons when: (a) The Department suspects or has confirmed that the 
security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has 
been compromised; (b) the Department has determined that as a result of 
the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to 
economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the 
security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs 
(whether maintained by the Department or another agency or entity) that 
rely upon the compromised information; and (c) the disclosure made to 
such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist 
in connection with the Department's efforts to respond to the suspected 
or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm; or
    (12) Disclose information to the general public, in furtherance of 
OFAC's mission, regarding individuals and entities whose property and 
interests in property are blocked or otherwise affected by one or more 
OFAC economic sanctions programs, as well as information identifying 
certain property of individuals and entities subject to OFAC economic 
sanctions programs. This routine use includes disclosure of information 
to the general public in furtherance of OFAC's mission regarding 
individuals and entities that have been designated by OFAC. This 
routine use encompasses publishing this information in the Federal 
Register, in the Code of Federal Regulations, on OFAC's Web site, and 
by other means.
    The information associated with individuals as published on OFAC's 
List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (the SDN 
List) generally relates to non-U.S. entities and individuals, and, 
therefore, the Privacy Act does not apply to most of the individuals 
included on the SDN List. However, a very small subset of the 
individuals on the SDN List consists of U.S. individuals. Individuals 
and entities on the SDN List are generally designated based on 
Executive orders and other authorities imposing sanctions with respect 
to terrorists, proliferators of weapons of mass destruction, sanctioned 
nations or regimes, narcotics traffickers, or other identified threats 
to the national security, foreign policy, and/or economy of the United 
States. Generally, the personal identifier information provided on the 
SDN List may include, but is not limited to, names and aliases, 
addresses, dates of birth, citizenship information, and, at times, 
identification numbers associated with government-issued documents. It 
is necessary to provide this identifier information in a publicly 
available format so that listed individuals and entities can be 
identified and prevented from accessing the U.S. financial system. At 
the same time, the release of detailed identifier information of 
individuals whose property is blocked or who are otherwise affected by 
one or more OFAC economic sanctions programs is important in helping to 
protect other individuals from being improperly identified as the 
sanctioned target. Because the SDN List is posted on OFAC's public Web 
site and published in the Federal Register and in 31 CFR Appendix A, a 
designated individual's identifier information can be accessed by any 
individual or entity with access to the internet, the Federal Register, 
or 31 CFR Appendix A. Thus, the impact on the individual's privacy will 
be substantial, but this is necessary in order to make targeted 
economic sanctions effective. Designated individuals can file a ``de-
listing petition'' to request their removal from the SDN List. See 31 
CFR 501.807. If such a petition is granted, the individual's name and 
all related identifier information are removed from the active SDN 
List.

Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
    Records in this system are stored electronically or on paper in

employees of TARP recipients will be covered by the system. The term 
``most highly compensated employee'' means the employee of the TARP 
recipient whose annual compensation is determined to be the highest 
among all employees of the TARP recipient, provided that, for this 
purpose, a former employee who is no longer employed as of the first 
day of the relevant fiscal year of the TARP recipient is not a most 
highly compensated employee unless it is reasonably anticipated that 
such employee will return to employment with the TARP recipient during 
such fiscal year.
    c. Other employees. Certain other employees of TARP recipients may 
be covered by the system in the event that the TARP recipient or the 
employee requests guidance from the Department with respect to the 
employee's compensation or the Department otherwise provides guidance 
with respect to the employee's compensation.

    The Department of the Treasury collects this information from each 
TARP recipient in connection with the review of compensation payments 
and compensation structures applicable to SEOs and certain highly 
compensated employees. Information with respect to certain payments to 
highly compensated employees will also be reviewed in connection with a 
determination of whether such payments were inconsistent with the 
purposes of section 111 of EESA or TARP, or were otherwise contrary to 
the public interest.
