America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, Public Law 115-44, Aug. 2,
2017, 131 Stat. 886 (22 U.S.C. 9401 et seq.) (CAATSA). Section 105(b)
of CAATSA requires the President to impose the sanctions applicable
with respect to a foreign person pursuant to the global terrorism
Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 (66 FR 49079, September 25,
2001) (E.O. 13224) on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
and foreign persons that are officials, agents, or affiliates of the
IRGC. Such sanctions must be imposed beginning on the date that is 90

the IRGC-Qods Force, which previously had been designated for its

Subpart B of the GTSR to include the following as persons whose
property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to the GTSR:

The names of persons whose property and interests in property are
blocked pursuant to section 594.201(a) of the GTSR are published in the
Federal Register and incorporated into the SDN List with the identifier

the Federal Register on October 31, 2017, the following 41 persons
