Bill > HR4291

This bill requires federal agencies to cross-reference and harmonize various sanctions lists to ensure comprehensive tracking of individuals and entities subject to U.S. sanctions. Specifically, when an individual or entity is added to one of six specified sanctions lists—including the Specially Designated Nationals List, Entity List, and various military-related lists maintained by the Treasury, Defense, and Commerce Departments—the responsible federal official must notify other agencies within 30 days. Those agencies must then conduct a review within 30 days and make a determination within 90 days about whether the same individual or entity should be added to their respective lists. Additionally, each federal agency must submit an annual report to congressional committees certifying their compliance with these requirements, explaining their deliberative process, and detailing any instances where this cross-referencing led to adding new individuals or entities to sanctions lists. The bill aims to create a more comprehensive and coordinated approach to tracking and sanctioning individuals and entities that pose potential national security risks, ensuring that no problematic actors slip through bureaucratic gaps between different government sanctions lists.
