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1) EO 13685 was revoked in 2016, in connection with the U.S. commitments pursuant to the JCPOA. IFCA-based sanctions imposed by EO 13685 were reimposed by EO 13846, in 2018. See generally comments to EO 13846, and related FAQs. This FAQ was archived in light of the revocation of EO 13685.
Unlike the secondary sanctions provisions preceding IFCA, the statutory and executive order provisions that are the subject of these FAQs have not yet been implemented in any CFR regulations (i.e. part 561).
2) See FAQ # 612, reproducing the contents of this FAQ, but in the context of the reimposition of sanctions in EO 13846.
