OFAC Executive Order 13886 - Modernizing Sanctions to Combat Terrorism

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) TERMINATION OF THE TSR

This revokes EO 12947 and the national emergency declared therein. Even though EO 13886 "build[s] upon the initial steps taken in Executive Order 12947," that EO is of no continuing legal relevance, and the revocation of EO 12947 has effectively terminated the Terrorism Sanctions Regulations (Part 595). On the day that this EO was issued, OFAC amended the list to assign a [SDGT] SDN identifier tag to the handful of persons that were previously only the [SDT] identifier tag. The termination of the national emergency underlying the TSR did not result in the unblocking of any person or property. On Mar. 10, 2020, OFAC removed the TSR from the (see https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/126/fr85_13746.pdf).
