Publication of Venezuela Sanctions Regulations Web General Licenses 46D, 47B, 48C, 50C, 51C, 52B, 54B, and 61A
Key claim: Treasury’s OFAC is formally publishing eight already-issued Venezuela sanctions general licenses so there is an official public record of which otherwise banned transactions are allowed.
Abstract
(Rule · Treasury Department, Foreign Assets Control Office) The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is publishing eight general licenses (GLs) issued pursuant to the Venezuela Sanctions Regulations: GLs 46D, 47B, 48C, 50C, 51C, 52B, 54B, and 61A, each of which was previously made available on OFAC’s website.

Why this matters
Federal Register publication of OFAC’s web-posted Venezuela general licenses creates an authoritative public record of which otherwise-prohibited transactions are permitted, which matters for compliance officers, exporters, and financial institutions relying on these authorizations. The underlying scope of permitted activity is unchanged, so the practical trade effect is procedural rather than substantive.
