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). Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] with any questions on search results and efficiency.

Notes:

1) At the time this letter was issued Capablue and Larafort were subject to SSI SSI Directive 1 pursuant to the 50% rule. The interpretive question addressed is whether the purchase of planes from an entity subject to a “new debt” prohibition implicates the new debt prohibition.

OFAC says:

Provided that there will be no prepayments to Capablue and Larafort by Kellstrom, it does not appear that Capablue and Larafort will be extended new debt through the purchase of the Aircraft, as described in the Application. Therefore, the payments for the Aircraft would not appear to implicate the prohibitions found in Directive 1.

This is a notable interpretation of SSI Directive 1, and by extension the “new debt” prohibition in general, insofar as OFAC implies that “prepayments to [entities subject to new debt prohibitions]” made for goods purchased...
