The '''Office of Foreign Assets Control''' ('''OFAC''') is a [[financial intelligence]] and enforcement agency of the [[United States Department of the Treasury|United States Treasury Department]]. It administers and enforces economic and trade [[economic sanctions|sanctions]] in support of U.S. [[National Security of the United States|national security]] and [[Foreign policy of the United States|foreign policy]] objectives.<ref name="min">{{cite journal|author1=Tom C.W.

Founded in 1950 as the Division of Foreign Assets Control, since 2004 OFAC has operated under the [[Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence]] within the Treasury Department. It is primarily composed of intelligence targeters and lawyers. While many of OFAC's targets are broadly set by the [[White House]], most individual cases are developed as a result of investigations by OFAC's Office of Global Targeting (OGT).<ref name="reuters.com">Yukhananov, Anna, and Warren Strobel, [https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-sanctions-insight-idUSBREA3D1O820140415 "After Success on Iran, U.S. Treasury's Sanctions Team Faces New Challenges"], [[Reuters]], April 14, 2014.</ref>

==History==
<!--This paragraph is derived mostly from https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/265.html#265.1 -->

Involvement of the U.S. Department of the Treasury in economic sanctions against foreign states dates to the [[War of 1812]], when Secretary [[Albert Gallatin]] administered sanctions against the [[United Kingdom]] in retaliation for the [[impressment]] of American sailors.<ref name="Treasury's War book"/><ref name="FAQ">{{cite web | url=http://www.treasury.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/faq/answer.shtml#2 | title=Frequently Asked Questions | publisher=Office of Foreign Assets Control | access-date=2007-09-17 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071018063052/http://treasury.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/faq/answer.shtml#2 | archive-date=2007-10-18 }}</ref>

Predecessor agencies of the Division of Foreign Assets Control include Foreign Funds Control (FFC), which existed from 1940 to 1947, and the Office of International Finance (1947 to 1950).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Records of the office of Foreign Assets Control |url=https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/265.html |access-date=2024-11-10 |website=www.archives.gov}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=About OFAC {{!}} Office of Foreign Assets Control |url=https://ofac.treasury.gov/about-ofac |access-date=2024-11-10 |website=ofac.treasury.gov |language=en}}</ref> FFC was established by [[Executive Order 8389]] as a unit of the Office of the Secretary of the Treasury on April 10, 1940. The authority to establish FFC was derived from the [[Trading with the Enemy Act 1917]]. Among other operations, FFC administered wartime import controls over enemy assets and restrictions on trade with enemy states. It also participated in administering the [[Proclaimed List of Certain Blocked Nationals]], or the "Black List", and took [[censuses]] of foreign-owned assets in the US and American-owned assets abroad. FFC was abolished in 1947, with its functions transferred to the newly established [[Office of International Finance]] (OIF). In 1948, OIF activities relating to blocked foreign funds were transferred to the Office of Alien Property, an agency within the [[United States Department of Justice|Department of Justice]].<ref name="Records">{{cite web | title=Records of the Office of Foreign Assets Control | publisher=The National Archives | access-date = 2007-09-17| url=https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/265.html#265.1}}</ref>

The Division of Foreign Assets Control, OFAC's immediate predecessor, was established in the Office of International Finance by a Treasury Department order in December 1950, following the entry of the [[People's Republic of China]] into the [[Korean War]];<ref name=":0" /> President [[Harry S. Truman]] declared a [[national emergency]] and tasked the Division with blocking all Chinese and North Korean assets subject to U.S. jurisdiction. The Division also administered regulations and orders issued under the amended Trading with the Enemy Act.<ref name="FAQ" /> On October 15, 1962, by a Treasury Department order, the Division of Foreign Assets Control became the Office of Foreign Assets Control.<ref name="Records" />

==Authority and activities==
[[Image:Treasury Annex.JPG|thumb|right|OFAC is headquartered in the [[Freedman's Bank Building]], located across the street from the [[Treasury Building (Washington, D.C.)|Treasury Building]] in [[Washington, D.C.]]]]

In addition to the [[Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917|Trading with the Enemy Act]] and the various [[List of national emergencies in the United States|national emergencies]] currently in effect, OFAC derives its authority from a variety of [[U.S. federal laws]], particularly the [[International Emergency Economic Powers Act]] (IEEPA), regarding [[embargo]]es and economic sanctions.<ref>For example {{Executive Order|12957}}, {{Executive Order|12938}}, etc.</ref>

In enforcing economic sanctions, OFAC acts to prevent "prohibited transactions", which are described by OFAC as "trade or financial transactions and other dealings in which U.S. persons may not engage unless authorized by OFAC or expressly exempted by statute". OFAC has the authority to grant exemptions to prohibitions on such transactions, either by issuing a general license for certain categories of transactions, or by specific licenses issued on a case-by-case basis.<ref name="FAQ" />

Under the [[International Emergency Economic Powers Act]] (IEEPA), the [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] can block the removal of foreign assets under U.S. jurisdiction during national emergencies. OFAC executes this mandate by issuing regulations to financial institutions.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 25, 2022 |title=The International Emergency Economic Powers Act: Origins, Evolution, and Use |url=https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R45618/8 |access-date=December 15, 2024 |website=[[Congressional Research Service]]}}</ref>

As part of its efforts to support the [[Iraq sanctions]], in 2005, OFAC fined [[Voices in the Wilderness (organization)|Voices in the Wilderness]] $20,000 for gifting medicine and other humanitarian supplies to Iraqis.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.democracynow.org/2005/8/16/voices_in_the_wilderness_ordered_to|title=Voices in the Wilderness Ordered to Pay $20K for Bringing Aid to Iraq |work= Democracy Now! |date= 2005-08-16|access-date=2011-06-08 }}</ref> In a similar case, OFAC imposed and attempted to collect a $10,000 fine, plus interest, against peace activist Bert Sacks for taking medicine to residents of [[Basra]];<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iraqikids.org/berts-case/timeline|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110113182659/http://www.iraqikids.org/berts-case/timeline|url-status=usurped|archive-date=January 13, 2011|title=Timeline |publisher=Fined For Helping Iraqi Kids |access-date=2011-06-08 }}</ref> charges against Sacks were dismissed by the court in December 2012.<ref>[http://old.seattletimes.com/html/edcetera/2017151910_bert_sacks_no_fine_and_no_cour.html Ramsey, Bruce] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181114010914/http://old.seattletimes.com/html/edcetera/2017151910_bert_sacks_no_fine_and_no_cour.html |date=2018-11-14 }} "Bert Sacks: No fine and no court time for Iraqi sanctions"; ''The Seattle Times''; 3 Jan 2012.</ref>

In the case of ''[[United States v. Banki]]'', on June 5, 2010, a U.S. citizen was convicted of violating [[United States sanctions against Iran|sanctions against Iran]] by failing to request Iranian currency transfer licenses in advance from OFAC. On August 25, 2010, the Iranian American Bar Association announced that it would file an [[amicus curiae]] brief with the [[United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit|Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit]] in ''United States v. Banki''.<ref>[http://www.iaba.us/NewsDetails.aspx?id=117 "IABA to File Amicus Brief in Appeal Before Second Circuit"]. {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101027081749/http://www.iaba.us/NewsDetails.aspx?id=117 |date=2010-10-27 }}</ref> It has also hired lawyers to request further guidance from OFAC on import of goods from Iran.<ref>[http://www.iaba.us/NewsDetails.aspx?id=117 "IABA Hires Lawyers to Request Further Guidance from OFAC"]. {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101027081749/http://www.iaba.us/NewsDetails.aspx?id=117 |date=2010-10-27 }}</ref>

In 2014, OFAC reached a record $963 million settlement with the French bank [[BNP Paribas]], which was a portion of an $8.9 billion penalty imposed in relation to the case as a whole.<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 30, 2014 |title=U.S. imposes record fine on BNP in sanctions warning to banks |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bnp-paribas-settlement-idUSKBN0F52HA20140701 |website=Reuters}}</ref><ref>[http://www.treasury.gov/press-center/press-releases/Pages/jl2447.aspx "Treasury Reaches Largest Ever Sanctions-Related Settlement with BNP Paribas SA for $963 Million"].

==Specially Designated Nationals==
{{Main|Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List}}
OFAC publishes a list of Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs), which lists people, organizations, and vessels with whom [[U.S. citizens]] and [[Permanent residence (United States)|permanent residents]] are prohibited from doing business.<ref name="FAQ" /> This list differs from the list maintained pursuant to Section 314(a) of the [[Patriot Act]].<ref>Erich Ferrari, [http://www.sanctionlaw.com/2011/06/09/ofac-sdn-list-vs-314a-list "IP Services Under The ITSR: A Broad Exception?"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140428052809/http://www.sanctionlaw.com/2011/06/09/ofac-sdn-list-vs-314a-list |date=2014-04-28 }}, ''Sanction Law'', Ferrari & Associates, 12 February 2018</ref>

In August 2009, a federal court ruling in ''[[KindHearts]] v. Treasury'' found that Treasury's seizure of KindHearts assets without notice or means of appeal was a violation of the [[Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fourth]] and [[Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fifth]] Amendments to the Constitution.<ref>{{cite web|title=''KindHearts for Charitable Humanitarian Development, Inc. v. Geithner et al.''| publisher=[[American Civil Liberties Union]]| date= November 22, 2011|url= https://www.aclu.org/national-security/kindhearts-charitable-humanitarian-development-inc-v-geithner-et-al}}</ref>

On September 23, 2011, the [[United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit|Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals]] upheld a lower court's ruling that procedures used by the Treasury to shut down the Oregon-based [[Al Haramain Islamic Foundation]] in 2004 were unconstitutional. The court said the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of [[due process]] required the Treasury to give adequate notice of the reasons it puts a group on the terrorist list, as well as a meaningful opportunity to respond. In addition, the court ruled that freezing the group's assets amounts to a seizure under the Fourth Amendment, so that a court order is required.<ref>{{cite web|title=''Al Haramain v.

As of October 7, 2015, the SDN List had more than 15,200 entries from 155 countries. Of those, 178 entries were for aircraft and 575 entries were for ships ("vessels").

On September 21, 2021, a cryptocurrency exchange was included in the sanctions list for first time for helping launder illicit funds having source from [[ransomware]] attacks. The amounts laundered are more than $160 million between 2018 and 2021.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://previewtech.net/us-treasury-imposes-sanctions-on-crypto-exchange-linked-to-ransomware-ops/|title= US Treasury imposes sanctions on crypto-exchange linked to ransomware ops|date= 24 September 2021|publisher=Previewtech.net}}{{dead link|date=May 2025}}</ref>

==Sectoral Sanctions Identifications==
OFAC publishes a list of Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI), which lists persons, companies, and entities in sectors of the Russian economy (especially energy, finance, and armaments), prohibiting certain types of activity with these individuals or entities by US persons, wherever located.<ref name=SSIlist>{{cite web|title=Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI) List |url=https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/SDN-List/Pages/ssi_list.aspx|publisher=US Department of the Treasury: OFAC|date=January 26, 2018|access-date=March 23, 2018}}</ref> This list is maintained following the issuance of EO [[s:Executive Order 13662|13662]] ''Blocking Property of Additional Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine'' on March 20, 2014, in accordance with 79 FR 16167.<ref name=FR2014-06612>{{Cite news|url=https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/03/24/2014-06612/blocking-property-of-additional-persons-contributing-to-the-situation-in-ukraine|title=Blocking Property of Additional Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine|date=2014-03-24|work=Federal Register|access-date=2018-02-04}}</ref>

On August 13, 2014, the Treasury Department issued guidance for entities under sectoral sanctions. It increased the number of entities on the sectoral sanctions identifications list by adding subsidiaries of entities under sectoral sanctions that hold 50% or greater ownership by an entity under sectoral sanctions either individually or in the aggregate, either directly or indirectly. Further, US persons cannot use a third party intermediary and must exercise caution during "transactions with a non-blocked entity in which one or more blocked persons has a significant ownership interest that is less than 50% or which one or more blocked persons may control by means other than a majority ownership interest."<ref name=US140813>{{cite web | title = Revised Guidance on Entities Owned by Persons Whose Property and Interests in Property Are Blocked | url = https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Documents/licensing_guidance.pdf | publisher = United States Department of the Treasury | date = August 13, 2014 | access-date = March 22, 2018}}</ref>

==Security incidents==
In December 2024, Chinese state-sponsored hackers breached OFAC systems through cybersecurity vendor BeyondTrust, gaining access to unclassified administrative records containing potential sanctions deliberation information and future targets. This incident, described by Treasury officials as "major" and also affecting the Office of the Treasury Secretary and [[Office of Financial Research]], marked the second known [[China|PRC]] intrusion into OFAC, following a breach in the early 2000s that compromised general counsel office emails.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nakashima |first=Ellen |last2=Stein |first2=Jeff |date=January 2, 2025 |title=Treasury’s sanctions office hacked by Chinese government, officials say |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/01/01/treasury-hack-china/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250102121538/https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/01/01/treasury-hack-china/#selection-593.2-597.15 |archive-date=January 2, 2025 |access-date=January 2, 2025 |work=[[Washington Post]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Satter |first=Raphael |date=December 30, 2024 |title=US Treasury says Chinese hackers stole documents in 'major incident' |url=https://www.reuters.com/technology/cybersecurity/us-treasurys-workstations-hacked-cyberattack-by-china-afp-reports-2024-12-30/ |access-date=January 2, 2025 |work=[[Reuters]]}}</ref> In response, on January 17, 2025, OFAC sanctioned Yin Kecheng, a Shanghai-based hacker affiliated with China's [[Ministry of State Security (China)|Ministry of State Security]] allegedly responsible for the compromise.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2025-01-17 |title=US Sanctions Chinese Entities Behind Telecoms, Treasury Hacks |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-17/us-sanctions-chinese-entities-behind-telecoms-treasury-hacks |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250117172729/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-17/us-sanctions-chinese-entities-behind-telecoms-treasury-hacks |archive-date=January 17, 2025 |access-date=2025-01-17 |work=Bloomberg |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-01-14 |title=Treasury Sanctions Company Associated with Salt Typhoon and Hacker Associated with Treasury Compromise |url=https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2792 |access-date=2025-01-17 |publisher=U.S. Department of the Treasury |language=en}}</ref>
