Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.
Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).
Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category).

1) This is a rare case in which a license application that was pending for about 2.5 years was returned without action due to a "Lack of foreign policy guidance from the U.S. Department of State." Lengthy delays in licensing applications, both in terms of specific license and guidance requests, are frequently owed to delays caused by the need for interagency consultation (usually with the State Department). This is the only example of which we are aware in which an otherwise non-defective license application was returned without action due to inaction on the part on the State Department. It is unclear whether the purpose of the RWA, as opposed to a outright denial, was motivated by a desire to avoid a “final agency action” that would be subject to judicial review.
