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) The application was initially filed on August 31, 2015. On January 16, 2015, OFAC amended 515.572 such that persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction no longer needed to have status as authorized “travel service providers” in order to provide travel-related services. The GL, as amended on January 16, 2015, provided that “Persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction are authorized to provide travel services in connection with travel-related transactions involving Cuba authorized pursuant to this part.” (see 80 FR 2299, Jan. 16, 2015). It is not clear precisely what the applicant was requesting authorization for, but in any event OFAC makes clear that 515.572 can cover “the provision of travel services for persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction traveling from third countries to Cuba for purposes covered by the Cuban travel general licenses.” In other words, the GL covers (say) travel agents to book...
