§ 8517. Increased capacity for efforts to combat
unlawful or terrorist financing
(a) Findings
Congress finds the following:
(1) The work of the Office of Terrorism and
Financial Intelligence of the Department of
the Treasury, which includes the Office of For-
eign Assets Control and the Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network, is critical to ensuring
that the international financial system is not
used for purposes of supporting terrorism and
developing weapons of mass destruction.
(2) The Secretary of the Treasury has des-
ignated, including most recently on June 16,
2010, various Iranian individuals and banking,
military, energy, and shipping entities as
proliferators of weapons of mass destruction
pursuant to Executive Order 13382 (50 U.S.C.
1701 note), thereby blocking transactions sub-
ject to the jurisdiction of the United States by
those individuals and entities and their sup-
porters.
(3) The Secretary of the Treasury has also
identified an array of entities in the insur-
ance, petroleum, and petrochemicals indus-
tries that the Secretary has determined to be
owned or controlled by the Government of
Iran and added those entities to the list con-
tained in Appendix A to part 560 of title 31,
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
(commonly
known as the ‘‘Iranian Transactions Regula-
tions’’), thereby prohibiting transactions be-
tween United States persons and those enti-
ties.
(b) Authorization of appropriations for Office of
Terrorism and Financial Intelligence
There are authorized to be appropriated to the
Secretary of the Treasury for the Office of Ter-
rorism and Financial Intelligence—
(1) $102,613,000 for fiscal year 2011; and
(2) such sums as may be necessary for each
of the fiscal years 2012 and 2013.
(c) Omitted
