Sanctions Lists Screened

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

OFAC acts under Presidential wartime and national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze foreign assets under US jurisdiction. Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments.

In order to make it easier to comply with OFAC's sanctions regulations, OFAC offers all of its non-SDN sanctions lists in a consolidated set of data files — the Consolidated Sanctions List. The goal is to reduce the number of list-related files that must be downloaded to maintain an automated sanctions screening program.

Included in the Consolidated Sanctions List:

• Foreign Sanctions Evaders (FSE) List
• Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI) List
• Palestinian Legislative Council (NS-PLC) List
• List of Foreign Financial Institutions Subject to Part 561
• Non-SDN Iranian Sanctions Act (NS-ISA) List
• CAPTA List (Correspondent Account or Payable-Through Account Sanctions)
• Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions List (NS-MBS)
• Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List (NS-CMIC)

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce maintains several lists for the purposes of the export control programs it administers.

Denied Persons List

Individuals and entities that have been denied export privileges. Any dealings with a party on this list that would violate the terms of its denial order are prohibited.

Unverified List

End-users who BIS has been unable to verify in prior transactions. The presence of a party on this list in a transaction is a "Red Flag" that should be resolved before proceeding.

Entity List

Parties whose presence in a transaction can trigger a license requirement supplemental to those elsewhere in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The list specifies the license requirements and policies that apply to each listed party.

Military End User (MEU) List

Parties whose presence in a transaction triggers a license requirement for items subject to the EAR. No license exceptions are available for exports to listed entities for specified items.

Public Safety Canada — Listed Terrorist Entities

The listing of an entity is a public means of identifying a group or individual as being associated with terrorism. The Anti-Terrorism Act provides measures for the Government of Canada to create a list of entities. Institutions such as banks and brokerages are subject to reporting requirements and must not allow listed entities to access their property.

To facilitate the application of financial sanctions, the European Banking Federation, the European Savings Banks Group, the European Association of Co-operative Banks and the European Association of Public Banks, together with the Commission, established an EU consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to CFSP-related financial sanctions.

This database was developed to assist EU Credit Sector Federation members in their compliance with financial sanctions obligations.

The UN Security Council Sanctions List includes all individuals and entities subject to sanctions measures imposed by the Security Council. The inclusion of all names on one Consolidated Sanctions List is to facilitate implementation of the measures; it does not imply that all names are listed under one regime, nor that the criteria for listing are the same across regimes.

For each instance where the Security Council has decided to impose sanctions in response to a threat, a Security Council Committee manages the sanctions regime. Each committee publishes the names of individuals and entities listed in relation to that committee as well as information concerning the specific measures that apply to each listed name.
