On September 23, 2001, the President

Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 

U.S.C. 1701–1706, and the United 

Nations Participation Act of 1945, 22 

U.S.C. 287c. In the Order, the President 

declared a national emergency to 

address grave acts of terrorism and 

threats of terrorism committed by 

foreign terrorists, including the 

September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in 

New York, Pennsylvania, and at the 

Pentagon. The Order imposes economic 

sanctions on persons who have

committing, or support acts of terrorism. 

The President identified in the Annex to 

the Order, as amended by Executive 

Order 13268 of July 2, 2002, 13 

individuals and 16 entities as subject to 

the economic sanctions. The Order was

creation of the Department of Homeland 

Security.

Secretary of State, in consultation with 

the Secretary of the Treasury, the 

Secretary of the Department of 

Homeland Security and the Attorney 

General, to have committed, or to pose 

a significant risk of committing, acts of 

terrorism that threaten the security of 

U.S. nationals or the national security, 

foreign policy, or economy of the United 

States; (3) persons determined by the 

Director of OFAC, in consultation with 

the Departments of State, Homeland 

Security and Justice, to be owned or 

controlled by, or to act for or on behalf

1(d)(i) of the Order; and (4) except as 

provided in section 5 of the Order and 

after such consultation, if any, with 

foreign authorities as the Secretary of 

State, in consultation with the Secretary 

of the Treasury, the Secretary of the 

Department of Homeland Security and 

the Attorney General, deems 

appropriate in the exercise of his 

discretion, persons determined by the 

Director of OFAC, in consultation with 

the Departments of State, Homeland 

Security and Justice, to assist in, 

sponsor, or provide financial, material, 

or technological support for, or financial
