OFAC Regulatory Provisions - 31 CFR § 598.314 - Specially designated narcotics trafficker.

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 common to 598.304, 598.313 and 598.314.

1) As is the case with nearly all sanctions programs, there are criteria for designating persons undertaking a specific sort of activity targeted (e.g. drug trafficking, engaging in acts of terrorism, etc.), and then there are criteria for designating persons that "materially assist" such persons, are "owned or controlled" by such persons, or in general have done something related to the primary actor. Ordinarily, there is no difference between being designated as a primary actor or, for example, providing material assistance, but the FNKDA, which the implements directly, is set up differently insofar as there are, for example, different procedural requirements involved with both the initial designation and revocation of persons depending on whether they are "primary" actors, (colloquially called "tier 1" designees) or...
