| |  Nonproliferation SanctionsThe United States imposes sanctions under various legal authorities against foreign individuals, private entities, and governments that engage in proliferation activities. Announcements of such sanctions determinations are printed in the Federal Register and can be accessed through the Government Printing Office web page. Copies of relevant statutes can also be accessed via the same site as well as via the Library of Congress's Congressional Service. The Federal Register notices are the official notifications for all nonproliferation sanctions determinations. Links to those notices found on this page are updated as appropriate, but the Federal Register is the only official and complete listing of nonproliferation sanctions determinations. | | | Highlights | Briefing on a Treasury Designation Under Executive Order 13382”, Briefing by Acting Assistant Secretary for International Security and Nonproliferation Patricia McNerney, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman, and Director of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Adam Szubin, September 10, 2008 http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2008/sept/109472.htm
