As part of its rollout for its new Sanctions List Service (SLS), OFAC made a correction to the namespace information in the SDN.XML and CONSOLIDATED.XML files.
The existing namespace was changed from this:
<sdnList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://tempuri.org/sdnList.xsd">
to this:
<sdnList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="https://sanctionslistservice.ofac.treas.gov/api/PublicationPreview/export
s/XML">
The XSD for these files has been updated and is available at this URL:
https://sanctionslistservice.ofac.treas.gov/api/PublicationPreview/exports/XML.xsd
In addition, OFAC altered the namespace and schema location in the
SDN_ADVANCED.XML and CONS_ADVANCED.XML files.
The existing namespace and schema location was changed from this:
<Sanctions xmlns="http://www.un.org/sanctions/1.0" Version="3"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.un.org/sanctions/1.0
http://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sanctions/1.0/sdn_advanced.xsd">
to this:
<Sanctions xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Version="3"
