Executive Summary

The Department of Treasury (Treasury) asked the NASD® to remind its members about regulations issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). These regulations require broker/dealers to block1 accounts and other assets of countries identified as threats to national security by the President of the United States and prohibit broker/dealers from engaging in unlicensed trade and financial transactions with such countries. OFAC is authorized to impose significant monetary fines for violations of these regulations.

Background

The U.S. government mandates that all financial institutions located in the United States, overseas branches of these institutions and, in certain instances, overseas subsidiaries of the institutions comply with OFAC regulations governing economic sanctions and embargo programs regarding the accounts and other assets of countries identified as threats to national security by the President of the United States. This always involves accounts and assets of the sanctioned countries' governments, and it may also involve the accounts and assets of individual nationals of the sanctioned countries. Also, these regulations prohibit unlicensed trade and financial transactions with such countries.

Under these regulations, financial institutions must block identified assets and accounts when such property is located in the United States, is held by U.S. individuals or entities, or comes into the possession or control of U.S. individuals or entities. The definition of assets and property is very broad and covers direct, indirect, present, future, and contingent interests. In addition, Treasury identifies certain individuals and entities located worldwide that are acting on behalf of sanctioned governments, and these must be treated as if they are part of the sanctioned governments.

OFAC may impose criminal or civil penalties for violations of these regulations. Criminal violations may result in corporate fines of up to $ 1 million and personal fines of up to S250,000 and 12 years in jail; civil penalties of up to $250,000 per violation also may be imposed. To ensure compliance, OFAC enlists the cooperation of various regulatory organizations and recently asked the NASD to remind its members about these regulations.

Foreign Assets Control Regulations

OFAC currently administers sanctions and embargo programs against Libya, Iran, Iraq, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), Serb-controlled areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bosnian Serb military and civilian leaders, North Korea, and Cuba. In addition, it prohibits certain exports to the UNITA faction in Angola and prohibits transactions with terrorists threatening to disrupt the Middle East peace process.

Broker/dealers cannot deal in securities issued from these target countries and governments and must block or freeze accounts, assets, and obligations of blocked entities and individuals when this property is in their possession or control.

Responsibilities Of Broker/Dealers

According to OFAC, broker/dealers need to establish internal compliance programs to monitor these regulations. OFAC urges broker/dealers to review their existing customer accounts and the securities in their custody to ensure that any accounts or securities blocked by existing sanctions are being treated properly. Broker/dealers also should review any other securities that may represent obligations of, or ownership interests in, entities owned or controlled by blocked commercial or government entities identified by OFAC.

Blocked Accounts And Securities

Broker/dealers must report blockings within 10 days by fax to OFAC Compliance Division at (202) 622–1657. Firms are prohibited from making debits to blocked customer accounts, although credits are authorized. Blocked securities may not be paid, withdrawn, transferred (even by book transfer), endorsed, guaranteed, or otherwise dealt in.

General Licenses

OFAC has issued general licenses authorizing continued trading on the national securities exchanges on behalf of blocked Cuban and North Korean customer accounts under conditions preserving the blocking of resulting assets and proceeds. Secondary market trading with respect to certain Yugoslav debt securities issued pursuant to the "New Financing Agreement" of September 20, 1988, also are authorized; however, certain restrictions and reporting requirements apply.

List Of Sanctioned Governments And Individuals

Whenever there is an update to its regulations, an addition or removal of a specifically designated national, or any other pertinent announcement, OFAC makes the information available electronically on the U.S. Council on International Banking's INTERCOM Bulletin Board in New York and the International Banking Operations Association's Bulletin Board in Miami. The information also is immediately uploaded onto Treasury's Electronic Library (TEL) on the FedWorld Bulletin Board network. In addition, the information is available through several other government services provided free of charge to the general public.

NASD members are urged to review their procedures to ensure compliance with OFAC regulations. Attached for your review is a copy of an OFAC bulletin, "Foreign Assets Control Regulations for the Securities Industry." In addition to providing practical guidelines, it contains a complete list of electronic services for OFAC announcements.

The NASD urges its members to review the attached list of 80 blocked persons who have been designated by the President of the United States for their significant role in international narcotics trafficking centered in Columbia, or have been determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, to have materially assisted in or provided financial or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, the narcotics trafficking activities of other blocked persons on the list, or to be owned or controlled by, or to act for or on behalf of, other blocked persons on the list.

Questions concerning this Notice may be directed to OFAC at (202) 622–2490.

1 Blocking, which also may be called freezing, is a form of controlling assets under U.S. jurisdiction. While title to blocked property remains with the designated country or national, the exercise of the powers and privileges normally associated with ownership is prohibited without authorization from OFAC. Blocking immediately imposes an across-the-board prohibition against transfers or transactions of any kind with respect to the property.

FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL REGULATIONS FOR THE SECURITIES INDUSTRY

Recently, a U.S. bank blocked a funds transfer en route to a U.S. securities account held in the name of an attorney residing in Geneva. Two broker/dealers and two clearing firms had been taking orders and operating securities accounts for him for quite some time and had understood that both he and his family enjoyed excellent reputations. What was the problem? The attorney had been identified as an agent of the Iraqi government and U.S. law required that his assets be blocked beginning in November of 1994. For the U.S. securities firms involved, each transaction handled for the attorney after his designation as a "Specially Designated National of Iraq " could mean civil penalties of up to $250,000!

Another U.S. bank was caught by surprise when a 6 figure transfer it was expecting never arrived The funds were interdicted by an alert correspondent bank because the payment instructions referenced "Yugoslavian Loans. " The U.S. bank was on the verge of closing a deal to sell Serbian debt instruments on the secondary market. Another big mistake — the U.S. bank was hit with stiff fines.

You might receive instructions from a long-time customer to wire sales proceeds to an account at the Arab Bank for Investment and Foreign Trade (ARBIFT) in the U.A.E. or to an account at Banque Intercontinental* Arabe (BIA) in Paris, France. All in a day's work, right? Wrong. These funds will most likely be blocked because both ARBIFT and BIA have been found to be acting on behalf of Libya. Your firm may be fined up to $10,000 for initiating the transfer, even though your own bank blacked it You'll also have to break the news to your client that his funds may be in limbo indefinitely.

You might also unwittingly open a margin account for a customer who happens to be a Cuban national, in which case the U.S. Government may be the least of your problems! Your firm could be on the hook for any purchases made on margin for this client before you realize that all of his U.S. assets are frozen.

These examples illustrate how costly it can be to ran afoul of U.S. laws enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OF AC). OF AC administers sanctions and embargo programs against Libya, Iran, Iraq, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), Serb-controlled areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bosnian Serb military and civilian leaders, North Korea, and Cuba, and administers prohibitions against exports of arms and petroleum products to the UNITA faction in Angola, and prohibitions against transactions with terrorists threatening to disrupt the Middle East peace process. Securities firms are prohibited from dealing in securities issued from target countries and governments and must "block" or "freeze" accounts, assets, and obligations of an extensive number of blocked entities and individuals located in cities all over the globe.

Criminal violations of the statutes administered by OFAC can result in corporate fines of up to $1 million and personal fines of up to $250,000 and 12 years in jail. OFAC also has independent authority to impose civil penalties of up to $250,000 per count. To assure that illicit transactions are not processed, much of the banking industry has installed sophisticated and highly effective "interdict" software to block questionable funds transfers and other transactions automatically. Some of the filters contain every name on OFAC's master list of "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" (SDN list) along with geographical names for embargoed countries and cities. Because of the current level of electronic compliance programs in the financial community, it is more likely now than ever that violations by the securities industry will come to the attention of OFAC. It is critical that securities firms establish internal compliance programs to avert violations and costly enforcement actions.

OFAC Customer Assessment Checklist

It is recommended that you start by taking a look at your existing customer accounts to determine whether you are properly treating those that are blocked by existing sanctions, including:

  • personal and commercial accounts held in the name of individuals or organizations appearing on OFAC's SDN list;

  • personal accounts with Cuban or North Korean addresses;

  • personal accounts held in the name of nationals of Cuba or North Korea, regardless of address (except nationals unblocked by OFAC license);

  • commercial accounts with addresses in Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Iraq, Serbia, Montenegro, and cities and towns in areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina controlled by Bosnian Serb forces;

  • accounts held in the name of the government of Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Iraq, or the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro); and

  • accounts owned by individuals acting for or on behalf of any of the account parties listed above or accounts owned by entities which are owned or controlled by any of the account parties listed above.

Although no blocking provisions apply with regard to Iranian accounts, firms may no longer act on buy or sell orders originating from the Government of Iran, or individuals or entities located in Iran. At the request of the account holder, a firm may close out an Iranian account and effect a one-time lump sum transfer of all remaining account funds and other assets to the account holder.

OFAC Securities Assessment Checklist

Next, you should review the securities in your custody to determine whether you are properly treating any that are blocked, including:

  • securities registered or inscribed in the name of a Cuban or North Korean national (regardless of whether the registered or inscribed owner appears to have assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of the security);

  • sovereign debt securities representing obligations of the governments of Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Iraq, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), or the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (except as licensed by OFAC for trading);

  • debt or equity securities representing obligations of, or ownership interests in, companies appearing on OFAC's SDN list;

  • debt or equity securities representing obligations of, or ownership interests in, companies located in Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Iraq, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), or areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina controlled by Bosnian Serb forces; or

  • bankers acceptances that indicate on their face that they relate to trade transactions involving North Korea, Cuba, Libya, Iran (post June 5, 1995 shipments), Iraq, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia & Montenegro), areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina controlled by Bosnian Serb forces, or the U.N. Protected Areas in Croatia, or exports of arms, petroleum, and petroleum products to the territory of Angola (other than through certain designated ports).

You should also scrutinize any other securities which you have reason to believe represent obligations of, or ownership interests in, entities owned or controlled by blocked commercial or governmental entities referenced above.

OFAC Banking Checklist

Before they are relayed to your bank, outgoing wire transfer instructions should be reviewed to insure that:

  • neither intermediary banks nor banks of beneficiaries appear on OFAC's SDN list;

  • the funds are not destined for Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Iraq, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) or areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina controlled by Bosnian Serb forces; and

  • the beneficiary is not otherwise blocked (to determine whether a beneficiary is blocked, apply the same criteria as those found in the OFAC Customer Assessment Checklist).

Blocked Accounts and Securities

Blockings must be reported within 10 days by fax to OFAC Compliance Division at 202/622–1657. Debits to blocked customer accounts are prohibited, although credits are authorized. Cash balances in customer accounts must earn interest at commercially reasonable rates. Blocked securities may not be paid, withdrawn, transferred (even by book transfer), endorsed, guaranteed, or otherwise dealt in.

General Licenses

General licenses have been issued authorizing continued trading on the national securities exchanges on behalf of blocked Cuban and North Korean customer accounts under conditions preserving the blocking of resulting assets and proceeds. Secondary market trading with respect to certain Yugoslav debt securities issued pursuant to the "New Financing Agreement" of September 20, 1988 (the "NFA") has also been authorized by General License. Certain restrictions and reporting requirements apply – contact OFAC if further information is needed with respect to trading under a general license.

Ongoing OFAC Compliance

The information on the OFAC assessment checklists will assist you when you evaluate new clients and unfamiliar investment securities. In addition, it may be helpful to designate a "Compliance Officer" responsible for monitoring compliance with OFAC programs and overseeing blocked accounts and securities. Internal auditing departments can assist in the development of "corporate compliance memoranda" and verification that procedures, once established, are being followed. An effective internal communication network is critical for regulatory compliance. Firms might consider including regulatory notices and explanations in staff newsletters. Compliance training programs will help prevent violations. Other useful measures would include reviewing regulations in staff meetings, incorporating compliance requirements into operating procedures, and joining with other firms to sponsor compliance seminars.

The economic sanctions programs of the U.S. Government are powerful foreign policy tools. Their success requires the active participation and support of every U.S. citizen. Protect your firm from losses and civil penalty exposure — don't open your doors to OFAC targets; stay abreast of U.S. sanctions law. When in doubt about a specific account or transaction, or in need of additional information, contact OFAC's Compliance Hotline for financial institutions at 1–800–540-OFAC (6322).

Background

On October 21, 1995, President Clinton signed Executive Order 12978, "Blocking Assets and Prohibiting Transactions with Significant Narcotics Traffickers" (the "Order").

The Order blocks all property subject to U.S. jurisdiction in which there is any interest of four principal figures in the Cali drug cartel who are listed in the annex to the Order. In addition, the Order blocks the property and interests in property of foreign persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, (a) to play a significant role in international narcotics trafficking centered in Colombia, or (b) to materially assist in or provide financial or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, persons designated in or pursuant to the Order. In addition, the Order blocks all property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction of persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, to be owned or controlled by, or to act for or on behalf of, persons designated in or pursuant to the Order (collectively "Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers" or "SDNTs").

The Order further prohibits any transaction or dealing by a United States person or within the United States in property or interests in property of SDNTs, and any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, the prohibitions contained in the Order.

Designations of foreign persons blocked pursuant to the Order are effective upon the date of determination by the Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, acting under authority delegated by the Secretary of the Treasury. Public notice of blocking is effective upon the date of filing with the Federal Register, or upon prior actual notice.
