Given that many of OFAC's licensing determinations are guided by U.S. foreign policy and national security concerns, OFAC often coordinates with the U.S. Department of State and other government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Commerce, to make licensing determinations. Please note that such coordination does not eliminate the need for the applicant to comply with other provisions of 31 CFR chapter V and other applicable laws and regulations, including any aviation, financial, or trade requirements, of agencies other than OFAC. Such requirements may include the Export Administration Regulations, 15 CFR parts 730-774, administered by the Department of Commerce, and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, 22 CFR parts 120-130, administered by the Department of State.
