TURBOFAC Commentary (104 words)

Notes:

On 2-15-24. OFAC implemented a modified version of its common “news bureaus” GL. Compare 560.519 (ITSR), Russia-related General License 52 and Ukraine General License Number 25 (Crimea/Donbass). The authorization section (section (a)) is close to identical to Ukraine General License Number 25, except for the conditions in (a)(5) concerning the export controls and UN sanctions status of items exported to North Korea. There is not much in the way of useful interpretive guidance bearing on the scope of this or any of the other “news bureaus” GLs (but see e.g. Case No. IA-2012-297129-1).
