Sudanese Sanctions Regulations - NGO Registration Instructions (Removed)

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) The now-removed Sudanese Sanctions Regulations contained a provision that made “non-governmental organizations” involvement in humanitarian or religious activities in Sudan contingent on the receipt of a registration number, issued by OFAC upon receipt of the information requested in this document. The list of items requested remains notable as an example of the sort of material that OFAC might expect an NGO to present in connection with a specific license request made pursuant to a different sanctions program.

2) The term " non-governmental organization" is not a legally defined term in U.S. sanctions regulations (it may not be a legally defined term in any federal law), and there is a range of different definitions of the term. NGO-Humanitarian Guidance (2014) suggests that, at least as it concerns U.S. person NGOs, OFAC would only consider general licenses referencing NGOs to apply to...
