Terrorism List Governments Sanctions Regulations (TLGSR)
Current understanding
The Terrorism List Governments Sanctions Regulations (31 CFR Part 596) are OFAC’s sanctions framework restricting financial transactions with governments designated as state sponsors of terrorism. The regulations include general licenses that authorize otherwise-prohibited transactions with specific listed countries; when a country is removed from the state-sponsor list, country-specific licenses become redundant and are typically cleaned up through final rules. Treasury is removing a Syria-specific general license following Syria’s rescission from the SST list.
