    On July 24, 2011, the President issued Executive Order 13581, 
``Blocking Property of Transnational Criminal Organizations'' (the 
``Order''), pursuant to, inter alia, the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-06). The Order was effective at

President declared a national emergency to deal with the threat that 
significant transnational criminal organizations pose to the national 
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
    Section 1 of the Order blocks, with certain exceptions, all 
property and interests in property that are in the United States, that 
come within the United States, or that are or come within the 
possession or control of any United States person, of persons listed in 
the Annex to the Order and of persons determined by the Secretary of 
the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and the 
Secretary of State, to satisfy certain criteria set forth in the Order.
    On December 30, 2016, the Acting Director of OFAC, in consultation 
with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, designated, 
pursuant to one or more of the criteria set forth in subparagraphs 
(a)(ii)(A) through (a)(ii)(C) of Section 1 of the Order, 3 individuals 
and 2 entities whose property and interests in property are blocked
