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

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

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

Treasury, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and the
Attorney General, deems appropriate in the exercise of his discretion,

Departments of State, Homeland Security and Justice, to assist in,
sponsor, or provide financial, material, or technological support for,
or financial or other services to or in support of, such acts of

determined to be subject to the Order or to be otherwise associated
with those persons listed in the Annex to the Order or those persons
determined to be subject to subsection 1(b), 1(c), or 1(d)(i) of the
