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) CACR sections 515.208, 515.334, 515.335 and 515.336, all initially issued on the same day [1], implement Sec. 103 of the Helms-Burton Act (officially, the "Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (Libertad) Act of 1996")" [2]. None of the definitional provisions (515.334, 515.335 and 515.336) appear to have been the subject of formal guidance by OFAC. Refer to Note on Enforcement of Titles III and IV of the Helms-Burton Act (or "LIBERTAD Act") (System Ed. Note), for comments on the provisions of Helms-Burton Act that relate to dealings in certain "confiscated" property by persons not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S.
2) The basic prohibition of 515.208, on which it appears no civil enforcement action has ever been based (at least not since 2006), is irregular when compared with...
