  • 2025-03722 — Notice of OFAC Sanctions Action
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 11581
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has added a person to its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. This decision was made because the person met the criteria set out in Executive Order 14059 related to global illicit drug trade sanctions. As a result, all their property and interests within U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. citizens are generally not allowed to have financial dealings with them. The decision was issued on March 4, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government (like a big group of grown-ups who make rules) has decided one person did something wrong, so they put this person on a special 'not allowed' list. This means no one in the U.S. is supposed to give them money or buy things from them.

    The Department of State has announced that several individuals have been added to the Department of Treasury's List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN List).

These individuals now have all their property and interests under U.S. jurisdiction blocked, and U.S. persons are generally not allowed to engage in transactions with them. The list and more details about the sanctions can be found on the OFAC website.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government has decided to block the money and things that some people have in America because they did bad things with Russia. People in the U.S. can't do business with these people now.

  • 2021-00977 — Expansion of Certain End-Use and End-User Controls and Controls on Specific Activities of U.S. Persons
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 4865
    Reading Time:about 56 minutes

    The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), under the Department of Commerce, has released a rule as part of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018. This rule introduces new license requirements and restrictions on U.S. persons engaging in activities related to military-intelligence end uses and end users, and clarifies existing export regulations, even when certain items are not traditionally covered by these rules. It aims to prevent circumvention of these regulations and broadens the scope of activities concerning chemical and biological weapons, as well as certain rocket systems and unmanned aerial vehicles. Additionally, the rule strengthens controls over entities at risk of diverting items to restricted military-intelligence uses, enhancing national security protections.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Industry and Security wants to make sure that certain items and actions are not used in bad ways, especially with military stuff, so they made new rules for when people need special permission to sell or use these things. They also want to stop sneaky ways to get around these rules and make sure people understand what counts as needing a special permission.
