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 FAQ was issued, with no email alert or reference on the OFAC "Recent Actions" page, a day before the issuance of the EO that established the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List (NS-CMIC List). It is fairly obvious that the message is that the 501.807 procedures are to be used by NS-CMIC-listed persons, notwithstanding that 501.807 refers to blocked persons. The FAQ was issued as a general statement concerning 501.807, rather than an FAQ issued in conjunction with the CMIC program, because it presumably applies to all other persons listed on “non-SDN” lists. That could include persons on the Russia-related Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List and the Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions List (NS-MBS List).
