Amendment of Nicaragua Sanctions Regulations; Publication of Nicaragua-related General License; Amendment​ of Ukraine-related General Licenses.

The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is amending the Nicaragua Sanctions Regulations (31 CFR part 582) to incorporate the Nicaragua Human Rights and Anticorruption Act of 2018. OFAC is also adding a general license authorizing certain United States government activities. This regulatory amendment is currently available for public inspection with the Federal Register and will take effect upon publication in the Federal Register on July 17, 2020.

In addition, OFAC is amending two general licenses related to GAZ Group by issuing Ukraine-related General License No. 13O, “Authorizing Certain Transactions Necessary to Divest or Transfer Debt, Equity, or Other Holdings in GAZ Group,” and Ukraine-related General License 15I​, “Authorizing Certain Activities Involving GAZ Group.”
