SUBJECT:   OFAC Changes to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List

ENCL:           SDN list dated September 6, 2002

On September 6, 2002, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) amended its list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN).  We have enclosed these amendments so you may review your credit union’s accounts for any matching records. 

Please note, a list of all changes made to the SDN list this year is available at www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn/index.html.

In the future, we will continue to provide you with periodic updates and amendments to this list; however, since orders requiring blocking or freezing of assets are immediate upon publication on OFAC’s website, you should periodically check the site at www.treas.gov/ofac. 

                                                Sincerely,

                                                    /S/
