OFAC Regulatory Provisions - 31 CFR § 542.411 - Entities owned by a person whose property and interests in property are blocked.

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.

Notes:

1) This interpretive provision, a version of which is found in all but a few sets of regulations involving the blocking of property, is a restatement of the “50% rule.” Refer generally to Notes Common to the "50 Percent Rule" .400-Level Interpretive Provision (System Ed. Note). The provision is interpreted in a manner that is substantively identical across programs, even though many versions have not been updated in light of OFAC’s Revised Guidance on Entities Owned by Persons Whose Property and Interests in Property are Blocked (2014).

2) Note that versions of this provision that appear in -based embargo programs (ITSR, , ) all clarify that the 50% rule, which does have the effect of taking normal entities...
