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) See comments to Capital Cities/ABC, Inc. v. Brady, 740 F. Supp. 1007 (S.D.N.Y. 1990), for more on the substance of the case itself, and the extent to which the views expressed in the Newcomb declaration have been rendered redundant by the 1994 Free Trade in Ideas Amendment to IEEPA.[1] The scope of the term "informational materials" is manifestly broader than it was when this was written, but there appears to still be an open question of whether OFAC can regulate transactions for telecommunications transmissions entered into prior to the "creation" of the information to be transmitted.
2) Other than the views expressed here that have been effectively overruled by the Free Trade in Ideas Amendment, OFAC makes a notable statement concerning the relationship between "negotiations" and the scope of the term "service."
