- Freeze such accounts and other funds or economic resources.
- Refrain from dealing with the funds or assets or from making them available (directly or indirectly) to the entries unless licensed by the Governor.
- Report any findings to the Governor, with any additional information, that would facilitate compliance with the UK’s Terrorist-Asset Freezing Act (Part 1, including Part 1 of Schedule 2, which was extended to the Turks and Caicos Islands.)
- Provide any information concerning the frozen assets of the entries that the Governor may request, noting that information reported to the Governor may be passed on to other regulatory authorities or law enforcement.
