Background 

On September 23, 2001, the President

Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 

U.S.C. 1701–1706, and the United

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. 

One such additional person was 

designated by the Secretary of the 

Treasury on November 7, 2001. The

Foreign Assets Control has determined 

that this individual no longer continues 

to meet the criteria for designation

property and interests in property of the 

individual that are in or hereafter come 

within the United States or the 

possession or control of United States 

persons are now unblocked.
