OFAC Regulatory Provisions - 31 CFR § 510.302 - Blocked account; blocked property.

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). Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] with any questions on search results and efficiency.

Please click "Apply Text String Filters" again after clicking the "Close" button immediately below.

Notes:

1) See "General Note on the 300-level definition of ‘Blocked account; blocked property’ (System Ed. Note) for an explanation of the importance of this provision's reference to property "in which" blocked persons have an interest.

2) With the exception of subsection (b), provision is substantively identical to the most recent version of the "Blocked account; blocked property" definitions found in virtually all sanctions regulations.

3) Subsection (b) pertains to the blocking mechanism for funds passing through certain "tainted" accounts affirmatively determined to be subject to blocking regulations. As of 8/2019, OFAC is yet to utilize the provision.

4) This section is erroneously listed as having been amended on Apr. 10, 2020. There is no change vis-a-vis the previous version.
