AGENCY:

Office of Foreign Assets Control, Treasury.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

OFAC issued a final rule establishing new Sanctions Penalties Regulations (31 CFR Part 505), effective September 25, 2026. The rule does not create new sanctions requirements or increase penalties; rather, it consolidates existing sanctions enforcement and penalty provisions from multiple OFAC programs into a single regulation to improve consistency and simplify compliance. The regulation outlines OFAC’s civil penalty process for sanctions violations under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the United Nations Participation Act (UNPA), including investigation procedures, pre-penalty notices, settlements, penalty assessments, and findings of violation.

DATES:

This rule is effective September 25, 2026.
