Regulatory amendments and Venezuela-related FAQs

OFAC has announced it is amending the Darfur Sanctions Regulations. The newly updated “Sudan Stabilization Sanctions Regulations,” still found at 31 CFR part 546, implement Executive Order 14098 of May 4, 2023, as well as additional administrative updates.

In addition, OFAC is publishing a final rule to update terms across several sanctions programs’ regulations, to reflect current office names and email addresses, as well as to update grammatical terminology.

These regulatory amendments are currently available for public inspection with the Federal Register and will take effect upon publication in the Federal Register on March 5, 2024.

In addition, OFAC has published Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) 1167, updated FAQs 1137 and 1141, and has deleted FAQs 1142, 1143, and 1144, to accompany the recently amended Venezuela General License 45B.
