416. What does the "sanctions effective date" mean in the context of sectoral sanctions pursuant to E.O. 13662?

For purposes of the sectoral sanctions, "sanctions effective date" means the date a person is determined to be subject to the prohibition(s) of the relevant Directive. When a person has been previously determined to be subject to a Directive and the prohibitions in the Directive are subsequently amended, (1) the sanctions effective date for the prohibitions of the original Directive remains the date on which the person was identified as subject to the prohibitions of that Directive, and (2) the sanctions effective date for the prohibitions in the amended Directive is the date of the amendment (or other date specified in the amended Directive).
