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).

Refer generally to General Note on "Sectoral Sanctions" and Determinations Made Pursuant to EOs Providing for the Blocking of Persons Determined to "Operate In" a Certain Sector. This is a designation authority that, assuming OFAC does not radically change its practice as it relates to discretionary designations, will be used to target transactions that U.S. persons would be prohibited from engaging in without a specific license. FAQ # 1133 indicates that that OFAC intends on using the designation criteria in this fashion with its emphasis on “activities for or related to military regime end users in Burma,” which are largely blocked. On diligence expectations, refer to...
