1261. If my delisting petition requesting removal from an OFAC's sanctions list is denied, may I petition for removal again?

Answer

Yes. If you, your organization, or your property have been listed by OFAC on one of OFAC's sanctions lists, and OFAC denied your delisting petition, you may reapply using the same process as the initial delisting petition (see FAQ 897); however, you will need to present new arguments or evidence to support OFAC in potentially reaching a different determination. If you fail to present new arguments or evidence, OFAC may deny your delisting petition with reference to its previous determination. For additional information on how to submit delisting petitions and the information required for submission, see the How to Request Removal from an OFAC Sanctions List page on OFAC's website.

The administrative reconsideration process is solely intended for persons who appear on one of OFAC's lists or are otherwise sanctioned. If you have been mistaken for a sanctioned person, for example, because you have a name that is a close match to a listed person, contact OFAC's Compliance Hotline.
