To implement the blocking and other prohibitions in these Executive orders, OFAC is amending the Regulations to add and remove prohibitions, definitions, and interpretations. OFAC also is incorporating into the Regulations several general licenses that previously had been posted only on the Burma page of OFAC’s website, as well as removing certain general licenses and statements of licensing policy as no longer relevant.
