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) OFAC acknowledges that the provision of travel insurance for travel to an embargoed country benefitting from an IEEPA-based travel exemption is ordinarily incident to travel (and permits the "servicing of such policies" is ordinarily incident to the provision of the insurance itself [see FAQ 104]). The insurance need not be issued in connection with a global policy, as is the case with the CACR. Note that because the CACR has no travel exemption, the provision of all insurance related to Cuba travel is handled through general licenses (see e.g. 515.580).
2) While there are no Crimea embargo regulations to say so explicitly, this presumably applies to the Crimea embargo as well, seeing as it was enacted under IEEPA and the source of the authorization for the issue of global travel insurance is that it is ordinarily incident to travel exempt from regulation under IEEPA.
The North Korean sanctions regulations also exempt transactions "ordinarily incident to travel" even though actual travel to North Korea by U.S. passport holders has been effectively barred through non-sanctions-based means.
