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).

2) THE STATUS OF TRANSLATION UNDER THE BERMAN AMENDMENT
This guidance was on OFAC’s website from 2004 up through soon after the 2016 Guidance on Certain Publishing Activities was released. The reason for its removal is not clear, but it should not be presumed that it was removed in connection with the reversal in policy articulated by OFAC in the 2016 Guidance on Certain Publishing Activities.
The 2016 Guidance does not discuss translation one way or the other. This guidance refers specifically to 040405-FACRL-IA-15, which was explicitly superseded by the 2016 Guidance, such that the reference to that...
