The agency revised the text to include each SDN List entry “to more clearly alert foreign financial institutions to attendant secondary sanctions risks,” the notice said. The second change updates references to the “Correspondent Account or Payable-Through Account Sanctions List” and replaces it with “List of Foreign Financial Institutions Subject to Correspondent Account or Payable-Through Account Sanctions,” the notice said.
