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.

with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of the Department of

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

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,
persons determined by the Director of OFAC, in consultation with the
Departments of State, Homeland Security and Justice, to assist in,
sponsor, or provide financial, material, or technological support for,
or financial or other services to or in support of, such acts of
terrorism or those persons listed in the Annex to the Order or
determined to be subject to the Order or to be otherwise associated
with those persons listed in the Annex to the Order or those persons
determined to be subject to subsection 1(b), 1(c), or 1(d)(i) of the
Order.
On July 10, 2014 the Director of OFAC, in consultation with the
