OFAC Removes Duplicative Penalty Provisions and Reorganises 36 CFR Parts

OFAC removed subpart G (penalties) from 36 parts of 31 CFR chapter V, effective 30 September 2026, replacing it with a new section 105 pointing to the Sanctions Penalties Regulations (31 CFR part 505, issued 25 September 2026). In most parts, recordkeeping and reporting, procedures, Paperwork Reduction Act and delegation provisions are moved into an expanded subpart A, and subparts F, H and I are removed. The rule also fills gaps where older parts had incomplete or no penalties information, including the United Nations Participation Act penalties in parts 510, 547, 576 and 594.
