1255. Are persons blocked pursuant to the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR), 31 CFR part 515, automatically blocked pursuant to the E.O. 14404? 

No. Persons blocked or otherwise identified pursuant to the CACR are not automatically blocked pursuant to the E.O. 14404. The CACR and E.O. 14404 are separate sanctions authorities. E.O. 14404 separately authorizes the imposition of blocking sanctions and certain less-than-blocking sanctions against foreign persons determined to meet one or more of the criteria in E.O. 14404. Persons sanctioned under the CACR are only subject to sanctions under E.O. 14404 if such persons are separately determined by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary of State to meet the criteria under E.O. 14404.

Persons listed on OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List may be identified under one or more sanctions authorities.
