OFAC has created its new Non-SDN Menu Based Sanctions (NS-MBS) List. The list is designed to identify persons subject to certain non-blocking menu-based sanctions including those set forth in Section 235 of the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) and the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014. When blocking is chosen as the form of sanction under these acts the individual will be placed on the regular SDN List. OFAC has also updated their SDN list with Russia-related CAATSA designations.
