OFAC Formally Publishes Four Russia Sanctions General Licenses (55E, 115C, 13P, 131C)

OFAC has formally published four general licenses under the Russian Harmful Foreign Activities Sanctions Regulations — GLs 55E, 115C, 13P, and 131C — in the Federal Register. Given the breadth of Russia-related sanctions affecting crypto and payments firms, compliance teams must review these GLs carefully to determine permitted activities and ensure controls remain current.

What to do

Review the full text of Russia GLs 55E, 115C, 13P, and 131C, determine whether any of your firm's Russia-related transaction activity is affected or newly authorized, and update your Russia sanctions compliance procedures accordingly.

OFAC Issues Two New Iran General Licenses (GL AA and GL BB)

OFAC has formally published two new Iran-related General Licenses — GL AA and GL BB — in the Federal Register, having previously made them available on its website. General Licenses carve out specific categories of otherwise-prohibited transactions, so compliance teams need to understand exactly what activity each GL authorizes and whether any of their customers or counterparties may rely on these licenses. Failure to correctly apply or scope a GL can result in unauthorized Iran-related transactions.
