Background
On September 23, 2001, the President issued Executive Order 13224
(the ``Order'') pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701-1706, and the United Nations Participation Act of
1945, 22 U.S.C. 287c, imposing economic sanctions on persons who
commit, threaten to commit, or support acts of terrorism. The President
identified in the Annex to the Order various individuals and entities
as subject to the economic sanctions. The Order authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State,
the Attorney General, and (pursuant to Executive Order 13284) the
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, to designate
additional persons or entities determined to meet certain criteria set
forth in Executive Order 13224.
On April 19, 2002, one additional person and, on August 28, 2002,
twelve additional entities were designated by the Secretary of the
Treasury. The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets
Control has determined that these ten entities and three individuals no
longer meet the criteria for designation under the Order and are
appropriate for removal from the list of Specially Designated Nationals
and Blocked Persons.
