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) Compare Economic Fury Targets Global Network Fueling Iran’s Oil Trade and Shadow Fleet (Press Release) and Economic Fury Targets Iran Shadow Banking Facilitators (Press Release). This is a an “Operation Economy Fury” oil-related designation notice that appears to not qualify as a series of bona fide “secondary sanctions” actions (as described in Introductory Note Common to all Derivative Designation Notices ("De Facto" Secondary Sanctions) Included in the Research System (System Ed. Note)), with the key difference being that these designations are based on EO 13224, rather than EO 13902 or EO 13846. OFAC appears to use EO 13224 for designating entities acting as front companies for the IRGC, and the other EOs for genuine “secondary sanctions” purposes.
