OFAC SDN - Composition
Russia-related sanctions are now the largest OFAC program
As of 2026-06-28, the OFAC SDN list held 20,051 current listings. Russia-related program RUSSIA-EO14024 was the largest program at 6,567 listings, about 32.8% of the list. Entities slightly outnumbered individuals, and the largest annual add wave was 2024 with 3,292 listings. Program counts overlap because one listing can carry multiple OFAC codes.
Key findings

RUSSIA-EO14024 listings make Russia-related E.O. 14024 the largest OFAC program, equal to 32.8% of the current SDN list.
of current listings are entities (10,533), compared with 38.2% individuals (7,665).
listings are physical assets: 1,499 vessels and 344 aircraft. They are counted as listings, not unique owners or operators.
listings were added in 2024, the peak year in the supplied year-added rollup. The 2026 count is 775 through 2026-06-28.

Who is on the SDN list
OFAC classifies each listing into a broad party type. In this committed snapshot, entities are the largest group, followed by individuals. Vessels and aircraft are physical-asset listings. The small reconciliation row keeps the supplied party-type rollup tied to the 20,051 listing universe.
| Party type | Listings | Share of current list |
|---|---|---|
| Entity | 10,533 | 52.5% |
| Individual | 7,665 | 38.2% |
| Vessel | 1,499 | 7.5% |
| Aircraft | 344 | 1.7% |
| Other or blank in supplied rollup | 10 | 0.0% |
Which OFAC programs are largest
Program codes are OFAC's own labels. RUSSIA-EO14024 is the largest single program. The next large blocks include SDGT for Specially Designated Global Terrorist listings and several Iran-related programs. Program counts are listing-program pairs, so they can overlap.
| Program code | Plain-English scope | Listings | Share of current list |
|---|---|---|---|
| RUSSIA-EO14024 | Russia-related sanctions under Executive Order 14024 | 6,567 | 32.8% |
| SDGT | Specially Designated Global Terrorist | 3,187 | 15.9% |
| IFSR | Iran Financial Sanctions Regulations | 1,532 | 7.6% |
| SDNTK | Foreign narcotics kingpin sanctions | 1,400 | 7.0% |
| NPWMD | Weapons of mass destruction proliferators | 1,167 | 5.8% |
| UKRAINE-EO13662 | Ukraine/Russia sectoral sanctions under Executive Order 13662 | 1,108 | 5.5% |
| IRAN-EO13902 | Iran metals, construction, manufacturing, and related sectors | 805 | 4.0% |
| GLOMAG | Global Magnitsky human rights and corruption sanctions | 740 | 3.7% |
| IRAN | Iran sanctions program | 674 | 3.4% |
| ILLICIT-DRUGS-EO14059 | Illicit drug and fentanyl-related sanctions under Executive Order 14059 | 651 | 3.2% |
When listings were added
The listing-date field is OFAC's add date. The supplied year rollup shows the post-2022 surge: 2024 is the peak year, followed by 2023 and 2022. The 2026 count is partial through 2026-06-28.
| Listing year | Listings | Share of current list | Note |

Methodology
The study uses the current bitemporal slice of public.ofac_sdn_listings, the Fonteum warehouse table populated from OFAC Sanctions List Service Advanced XML files. The committed snapshot is fixed as of 2026-06-28; this page does not query the database at render time. Counts are grouped by party_type, by unnested programs, and by the year extracted from listing_date.
Program labels are left as OFAC publishes them, then glossed in plain English for readers. A single listing may carry more than one program code, so program counts overlap and exceed the 20,051 listing universe. Every public figure on the page is a count or percentage; no SDN party, alias, address, identifier, vessel name, or aircraft identifier is rendered.
Reproduce this
These aggregate queries reproduce the committed snapshot against the current source slice:
-- OFAC SDN Composition 2026 (ofac-sdn-composition/v1)
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Reproducible aggregation over the signed OFAC SDN + Consolidated source table
-- in the fonteum-platform Supabase project:
-- public.ofac_sdn_listings - snapshot as of 2026-06-28
--
-- Every query filters to the CURRENT bitemporal slice (valid_to IS NULL), so the
-- counts reflect the current published list, not superseded rows.
--
-- AGGREGATE-ONLY: counts of LISTINGS, never names. Program counts are
-- listing-program pairs: a listing can carry more than one program code, so
-- those counts can exceed the list universe.

Re-check the source snapshot
Every figure traces to the committed OFAC source snapshot dated 2026-06-28. The source pull is content-hashed and chained, so the aggregate can be re-checked against the attestation rather than taken on faith.

Limitations
- A single listing can carry one or more program codes, so program counts overlap and exceed the 20,051 total. Party-type counts are listing counts, not deduplicated identities.
listing_dateis the OFAC add date. The 2026 year count is partial through 2026-06-28 and will change as OFAC adds or removes listings.- Program codes are OFAC's own labels. Plain-English expansions on this page are short glosses for readability; the source code is the authoritative value.
- The snapshot is as of 2026-06-28. It is not a live status check for any party. Confirm current status at OFAC before acting on a specific record.
- This is aggregate-only and FCRA-safe: no individual named, no per-person report, no risk score, no dossier, and no employment or consumer-screening claim.

Frequently asked questions
How many current listings are on the OFAC SDN list?
The committed snapshot contains 20,051 current OFAC SDN listings as of 2026-06-28. The count is a listing universe, not a deduplicated count of people, companies, vessels, or aircraft. All public tables on this page report aggregates only and name no listed party.
What is the largest OFAC sanctions program?
RUSSIA-EO14024 is the largest program in the snapshot, attached to 6,567 listings. That equals 32.8% of the 20,051 current-listing universe. Program counts are not mutually exclusive because one listing can carry more than one OFAC program code.
What do the top OFAC program codes mean?
RUSSIA-EO14024 is Russia-related E.O. 14024; SDGT is Specially Designated Global Terrorist; IFSR is Iran Financial Sanctions; SDNTK is narcotics kingpin; NPWMD is weapons proliferation; GLOMAG is Global Magnitsky human-rights and corruption sanctions.
Are entities or individuals more common on the SDN list?
Entities are the largest party type in this snapshot: 10,533 listings, or 52.5%. Individuals account for 7,665, or 38.2%. OFAC also lists physical assets directly: 1,499 vessels and 344 aircraft.
Why do program counts exceed the total SDN listing count?
OFAC program counts overlap. A single listing can carry one or more program codes, so the program table counts listing-program pairs rather than mutually exclusive buckets. The party-type and universe counts are listing counts; the program table is a distribution of OFAC's program labels.
Does this study identify any SDN party?
No. This study reports aggregate counts by party type, program code, and listing year. It does not list any SDN name, alias, address, identifier, vessel name, aircraft tail number, or individual profile. Confirm current status for any specific party at the official OFAC source.
