Why are there two separate subscription services on OFACs website, one called a “Financial Operations Bulletin” and the other a “Whats New” notice?
Financial operations bulletins are geared toward the financial operations community, while “What’s New” notices are geared toward the general public (including exporters and importers, practicing attorneys, and researchers). Generally speaking, those in the operations areas of banks, brokerage houses, and other financial service providers do not require the level of detail and wealth of information provided in notices to the general public. Instead, they are primarily interested in changes directly impacting their day-to-day operations, such as updates to OFAC’s listing Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. All “What’s New” notices to the general public also contain information from OFAC’s financial operations bulletins. It is not unusual for the date listed for a What’s New notice to be later than the date listed for the latest Financial Operations Bulletin.
