The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is revoking the following Counter Terrorism-related general licenses and removing them from its website: General License (GL) 9, “Official Business of the United States Government,” GL 10, “Official Activities of Certain International Organizations,” GL 11, “Certain Transactions in Support of Nongovernmental Organizations’ Activities in Yemen,” and GL 12, “Transactions Related to the Exportation or Reexportation of Agricultural Commodities, Medicine, Medical Devices, Replacement Parts and Components or Software Updates,” which were issued on January 19, 2021, and GL 13 “Authorizing Transactions Involving Ansarallah,” which was issued on January 25, 2021. OFAC is also removing Frequently Asked Questions 875, 876, and 877 from its website.

Today, on February 16, 2021, the U.S. Department of State has revoked the Ansarallah designations which has resulted in Ansarallah no longer being blocked pursuant to the Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 594, the Foreign Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 597, or Executive Order 13224, as amended.
