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
