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) RELATION TO THE REST OF THE VENEZUELA PROGRAM
Executive Order 13884 blocks the Government of Venezuela (GOV) pursuant to standard blocking language. See Notes Common to most "Prohibited transactions" and "Prohibited transactions involving blocked property" Provisions; an Introduction to the Basic Blocking Language (System Ed. Note).
The EO operates independent all other Venezuela EOs, all of which involve the GOV in one way or another. Up until November 2019, the EO had virtually no relationship to the Venezuela Sanctions Regulations (VSR), but in November 2019, 591.201 of the VSR was amended to prohibit all activities prohibited by EO 13884, meaning that the definitional, interpretive and other boilerplate provisions of the VSR apply to EO 13884. However, as...
