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) Letter issued in response to political outcry (in some quarters) over highly publicized trip to Cuba taken by two celebrities under the since-amended "people-to-people travel" general license for travel (515.565(b)).
2) Implicitly, OFAC/Treasury distinguishes between licenses "for tourist travel," which OFAC is prohibited from granting by TSRA (see 515.560(f)), and activities undertaken on "off hours" in the context of what is otherwise a "full-time schedule of educational exchange."
The implication appears to be that, provided that one's itinerary and completion of it is sufficient to meet the "full-time schedule" test, then other off-hour activities are permitted even if those activities are the sort that tourists might engage in.
3) The "People to people" general license was significantly restricted in 2017, where the primary change was the addition of the requirement that...
