The '''Office of Foreign Assets Control''' ('''OFAC''') is a financial intelligence and enforcement agency of the United States Treasury Department. It administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions in support of U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives.<ref name="min">{{cite journal|author1=Tom C.W.

Founded in 1950 as the Division of Foreign Assets Control, since 2004 OFAC has operated under the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence within the Treasury Department. It is primarily composed of intelligence targeters and lawyers. While many of OFAC's targets are broadly set by the White House, most individual cases are developed as a result of investigations by OFAC's Office of Global Targeting (OGT).<ref name="reuters.com">{{Cite news |title=After success on Iran, U.S. Treasury's sanctions team faces new challenges |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-sanctions-insight-idUSBREA3D1O820140415/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20231201081805/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-sanctions-insight-idUSBREA3D1O820140415/ |archive-date=2023-12-01 |access-date=2026-01-14 |work=Reuters |language=en-US}}</ref>

==History==

Involvement of the U.S. Department of the Treasury in economic sanctions against foreign states dates to the War of 1812, when Secretary Albert Gallatin administered sanctions against the United Kingdom in retaliation for the impressment of American sailors.<ref name="Treasury's War book"/><ref name="FAQ">{{cite web | url=http://www.treasury.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/faq/answer.shtml#2 | title=Frequently Asked Questions | publisher=Office of Foreign Assets Control | access-date=2007-09-17 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071018063052/http://treasury.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/faq/answer.shtml#2 | archive-date=2007-10-18 }}</ref>

Predecessor agencies of the Division of Foreign Assets Control include Foreign Funds Control (FFC), which existed from 1940 to 1947, and the Office of International Finance (1947 to 1950).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Records of the office of Foreign Assets Control |url=https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/265.html |access-date=2024-11-10 |website=www.archives.gov}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=About OFAC {{!}} Office of Foreign Assets Control |url=https://ofac.treasury.gov/about-ofac |access-date=2024-11-10 |website=ofac.treasury.gov |language=en}}</ref> FFC was established by Executive Order 8389 as a unit of the Office of the Secretary of the Treasury on April 10, 1940. The authority to establish FFC was derived from the Trading with the Enemy Act 1917. Among other operations, FFC administered wartime import controls over enemy assets and restrictions on trade with enemy states. It also participated in administering the "Proclaimed List of Certain Blocked Nationals", or the "Black List", and took censuses of foreign-owned assets in the US and American-owned assets abroad. FFC was abolished in 1947, with its functions transferred to the newly established Office of International Finance (OIF). In 1948, OIF activities relating to blocked foreign funds were transferred to the Office of Alien Property, an agency within the Department of Justice.<ref name="Records">{{cite web | title=Records of the Office of Foreign Assets Control | publisher=The National Archives | access-date = 2007-09-17| url=https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/265.html#265.1}}</ref>

The Division of Foreign Assets Control, OFAC's immediate predecessor, was established in the Office of International Finance by a Treasury Department order in December 1950, following the entry of the People's Republic of China into the Korean War;<ref name=":0" /> President Harry S. Truman declared a national emergency and tasked the Division with blocking all Chinese and North Korean assets subject to U.S. jurisdiction. The Division also administered regulations and orders issued under the amended Trading with the Enemy Act.<ref name="FAQ" /> On October 15, 1962, by a Treasury Department order, the Division of Foreign Assets Control became the Office of Foreign Assets Control.<ref name="Records" />

==Authority and activities== [[Image:Treasury Annex.JPG|thumb|right|OFAC is headquartered in the Freedman's Bank Building, located across the street from the Treasury Building in Washington, D.C.]]

In addition to the Trading with the Enemy Act and the various national emergencies currently in effect, OFAC derives its authority from a variety of U.S. federal laws, particularly the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), regarding embargoes and economic sanctions.<ref>For example {{Executive Order|12957}}, {{Executive Order|12938}}, etc.</ref>

In enforcing economic sanctions, OFAC acts to prevent "prohibited transactions", which are described by OFAC as "trade or financial transactions and other dealings in which U.S. persons may not engage unless authorized by OFAC or expressly exempted by statute". OFAC has the authority to grant exemptions to prohibitions on such transactions, either by issuing a general license for certain categories of transactions, or by specific licenses issued on a case-by-case basis.<ref name="FAQ" />

Under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the U.S. President can block the removal of foreign assets under U.S. jurisdiction during national emergencies. OFAC executes this mandate by issuing regulations to financial institutions.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 25, 2022 |title=The International Emergency Economic Powers Act: Origins, Evolution, and Use |url=https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R45618/8 |access-date=December 15, 2024 |website=Congressional Research Service}}</ref>

In the case of ''United States v.

In August 2009, a federal court ruling in ''KindHearts v. Treasury'' found that Treasury's seizure of KindHearts assets without notice or means of appeal was a violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.<ref>{{cite web|title=''KindHearts for Charitable Humanitarian Development, Inc. v.

On September 23, 2011, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling that procedures used by the Treasury to shut down the Oregon-based Al Haramain Islamic Foundation in 2004 were unconstitutional. The court said the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of due process required the Treasury to give adequate notice of the reasons it puts a group on the terrorist list, as well as a meaningful opportunity to respond. In addition, the court ruled that freezing the group's assets amounts to a seizure under the Fourth Amendment, so that a court order is required.<ref>{{cite web|title=''Al Haramain v.

On August 13, 2014, the Treasury Department issued guidance for entities under sectoral sanctions. It increased the number of entities on the sectoral sanctions identifications list by adding subsidiaries of entities under sectoral sanctions that hold 50% or greater ownership by an entity under sectoral sanctions either individually or in the aggregate, either directly or indirectly. Further, US persons cannot use a third party intermediary and must exercise caution during "transactions with a non-blocked entity in which one or more blocked persons has a significant ownership interest that is less than 50% or which one or more blocked persons may control by means other than a majority ownership interest."<ref name=US140813>{{cite web | title = Revised Guidance on Entities Owned by Persons Whose Property and Interests in Property Are Blocked | url = https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Documents/licensing_guidance.pdf | publisher = United States Department of the Treasury | date = August 13, 2014 | access-date = March 22, 2018}}</ref>
