The Office of Economic Sanctions Policy and Implementation (EB/TFS/SPI), as part of the Counter Threat Finance and Sanctions (TFS) deputate, is responsible for coordinating Department of State responses to requests for foreign policy guidance regarding a range of export licensing applications submitted by businesses, NGOs, or individuals to the Departments of Commerce and Treasury.
