The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control will migrate its Specially Designated Nationals List data (and other sanctions-related information) that it maintains on its OFACFTP.TREAS.GOV server to a new location about Feb. 22, it said. As a result, the IP address for that content will change.

The current IP address of "205.168.45.4" will change to "166.123.218.225." Users of the OFAC FTP server that connect to the server via IP address should switch to the new IP address Feb. 22, it said, but OFAC will operate the old server in parallel until Feb. 28. It may be necessary for users' security personnel to allow FTP traffic out of your firewall to this new IP address, OFAC said.
This migration should be transparent to users that connect to the OFAC FTP server via its domain name "OFACFTP.TREAS.GOV" because the domain name will not change -- it will just be associated with the new IP address, OFAC said.
