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) While this activity is permitted with respect to all currently active embargo programs, it is explicitly licensed only in the CACR because the provision of such insurance is considered exempt as ordinarily incident to travel for other programs.
2) See comment to JCPOA Implementation FAQ D.7.:
"Can U.S. insurers provide travel insurance to individuals traveling to Iran?
Yes, travel insurance continues to be exempt from regulation by OFAC as ordinarily incident to travel. Please see FAQ 104. [01-16-2016]"

4) See General Note on the Provision of Services Related to Travel by non-U.S. Persons to Cuba (System Ed. Note). That note discusses the uncertain relationship between this provision and 515.421, which can be read as authorizing travel-related insurance transactions beyond that which is explicitly authorized here.
This authorization operates independent of 515.560, the Cuba travel GLs, and the provision in TSRA stating that no travel-related transactions are permitted in connection with "tourist activities." Insurance claims made in connection with this GL may result from Cuba travel for tourist purposes.
