As promised multiple times over the last 9 months, OFAC finally got rid of the separate data files for the non-SDN lists. Now, all of them are only available as part of the Consolidated Sanctions List.

However, OFAC notes that there are still ways to get the component lists separately:

OFAC will continue to provide and update independent human readable (.pdf and .txt) versions of the FSE, SSI, NS-PLC, Non-SDN Iran Sanctions Act List, the Part 561 lists and their respective archive of changes files. These file formats were not affected by the creation of the consolidated data files and will continue to be available.

July 14, 2015: OFAC”s statement on Iran Nuclear Deal

Otherwise known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – not to be confused with the Joint Plan of Action:

Statement Relating to the July 14, 2015 Announcement of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action Regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Nuclear Program


    • On July 14, 2015, the P5 + 1 and Iran reached a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to ensure that Iran’s nuclear program will be exclusively peaceful. Building on the key parameters for a JCPOA announced on April 2, 2015, the JCPOA will provide Iran with phased sanctions relief upon verification that Iran has implemented key nuclear commitments.
    • U.S. sanctions relief will be provided through the suspension and eventual termination of nuclear-related secondary sanctions, beginning once the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verifies that Iran has implemented key nuclear-related measures described in the JCPOA (“Implementation Day”). The U.S. government will publish detailed guidance related to the JCPOA prior to Implementation Day.
    • The P5+1 and Iran also decided on July 14, 2015 to further extend through Implementation Day the sanctions relief provided for in the Joint Plan of Action (JPOA) of November 24, 2013, as extended. This JPOA sanctions relief is the only Iran-related sanctions relief in effect until further notice. The U.S. government will issue revised guidance on the continued JPOA relief shortly.
    • Effective July 14, 2015, all specific licenses that: (1) were issued pursuant to OFAC’s Second Amended Statement of Licensing Policy on Activities Related to the Safety of Iran’s Civil Aviation Industry, and (2) have an expiration date on or before July 14, 2015, are hereby authorized to remain in effect according to their terms until Implementation Day.

Dear Subscribers,

On 14 July 2015, The E3+3 (UK, France, Germany, Russia, China and US) the EU and Iran reached a comprehensive agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme. The successful implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA)will ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear programme and provide for the lifting of all nuclear-related sanctions.
Joint Plan of Action to allow for the necessary arrangements and preparations for the implementation of the JCPoA. The suspension of the restrictive measures specified in the Joint Plan of Action is therefore extended until 14 January 2016 under EU Council Decision 2015/1148. In practice this means sanctions against Iran in EU Regulation 267/2012 (as amended), including the current thresholds for prior notification or prior notification of Iran transfers are unchanged. This guidance remains in force.

July 16, 2015: HMT response to 4th Independent Reviewer Report

$
0
0

So, Mr. Watchlist is going to save you the effort of downloading the 11-page response to the Independent Reviewer Report, which reviews the implementation of the Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Act of 2010 (TAFA). There's only one page of real content – and here it is:

Procedure for challenge at review group meetings

page9image3368

Recommendation 13

The Chair of AFRG meetings at which new potential designations are discussed should
consider adopting a “devil’s advocate” approach, whereby one member of the AFRG is asked
to put the case against designation, thus assisting the group in identifying any possible
weaknesses in the case put forward. Sufficient material should be provided (including,
where appropriate, primary intelligence underlying agency assessments) for this exercise to
be performed in a meaningful way.

page9image8032

1.1 The Government recognises the importance of review group meetings being as rigorous as
possible, in order to ensure that designations under the Terrorist Asset Freezing etc. Act 2010
are fair, proportionate and legally robust. Operational partners are already challenged to
demonstrate how a particular case meets the statutory test for designation both in the
information provided before the meeting and at the meeting itself. However the Government
agrees that nominating one member of the review group as the ‘challenge champion’, to put
the case against designation, could further increase the level of challenge that takes place during
the review group meeting and make those meetings even more rigorous.

1.2 The Government agrees that it is beneficial for sufficient material to be provided in order for
this function to be carried out. However the Government does not accept that receiving the
underlying intelligence underpinning agency assessments would assist this function in most
cases. Operational partners are best placed to make assessments of underlying intelligence and
explain those assessments to the Treasury. Officials and operational partners will continue to
work closely together to ensure that assessments allow for rigorous consideration of both new
potential designations and reviews.
