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) Gen. Note on the 2012-2018 ANSI/API Correspondence: This guidance/license is one of six items from OFAC that all stem from the same applications. In 2012, American National Standards Institute ("ANSI"), requested guidance on standards-setting activities and works related thereto under the Berman Amendment and Publishing GLs for multiple countries. OFAC replied in 2012 with Case No. IA-2012-293254-1 (application included in relevant PDF), and that reply prompted a request for clarification from the American Petroleum Institute, to which OFAC responded in 2014 (Case No. MUL-2012-298212-1) in a way that appeared to dampen the impact of the 2012 guidance to ANSI. ANSI then reacted to that with another request for guidance in 2015 (application included in relevant PDF) which was responded to from 2016 through 2018 in four parts, one for each embargoed country addressed (Case No. IA-2015-318205-1 [Iran], Case No. SU-2015-323915-1- [Sudan],...
