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) Compare and contrast Venezuela General License 46B and other oil/gas-related GLs issued subsequent to GL 46. This GL is similar to those GLs insofar as it features similar payment and contractual conditions (for comments concerning those provisions, see comments to GL 46). While there are many PdVSA-related transactions that could be covered by both GL 52 as well as other Venezuela-related GLs focusing on oil and gas (i.e. GLs 46-50), the scope of this GL does differ substantially from the others, in some ways that make the GL narrower than the others and in some ways that make is broader.
2) On the broader side, this GL authorizes “all transactions…involving Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A.,” which is essentially all transactions that are within the scope of the blocking prohibition due to PdVSA involvement. There are no...
