Background

    The Kingpin Act became law on December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act 
provides a statutory framework for the imposition of sanctions against 
significant foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations on a 
worldwide basis, with the objective of denying their businesses and 
agents access to the U.S. financial system and the benefits of trade 
and transactions involving U.S. companies and individuals.
    The Kingpin Act blocks all property and interests in property, 
subject to U.S. jurisdiction, owned or controlled by significant 
foreign narcotics traffickers as identified by the President. In 
addition, the Act separately provides that the Secretary of the 
Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Director of 
the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director of the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement 
Administration, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and 
the Secretary of Homeland Security, may designate and block the 
property and interests in property, subject to U.S. jurisdiction, of 
persons who are found to be: (1) Materially assisting in, or providing 
financial or technological support for or to, or providing goods or 
services in support of, the international narcotics trafficking 
activities of a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act; (2) 
owned, controlled, or directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, a 
person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a 
significant role in international narcotics trafficking. The authority 
to identify, designate, and block the property and interests in 
property of persons under the Kingpin Act is delegated to the Director 
of OFAC pursuant to 31 CFR 598.803.
