2022-11612. Update to the List of Medical Supplies for Ukraine-/Russia-Related Sanctions

AGENCY:

Office of Foreign Assets Control, Treasury.

ACTION:

Publication of updated list of items defined as medical supplies in the Ukraine-/Russia-Related Sanctions Regulations.

SUMMARY:

The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is publishing the list of items defined as medical supplies and generally licensed for exportation or reexportation to the Crimea region of Ukraine. The List of Medical Supplies (the “List”) has previously existed as a companion document to Ukraine-/Russia-related General License 4, which OFAC has incorporated into its Ukraine-/Russia-Related Sanctions Regulations. Accordingly, OFAC is amending the List to replace the reference to General License 4 with a reference to the location of the general license in the Ukraine-/Russia-Related Sanctions Regulations. OFAC is making several technical corrections to items on the List, but is not making any substantive changes to the List, which was last updated on August 12, 2016.

DATES:

This list is effective May 31, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Availability

The text of the List is available on the Ukraine-/Russia-Related Sanctions page on OFAC's website, and additional information concerning OFAC is available on OFAC's website ( www.treasury.gov/​ofac ).

Background

On December 19, 2014, OFAC issued and posted on its website General License 4 under the Ukraine Related Sanctions program to authorize the exportation or reexportation from the United States or by a U.S. person of agricultural commodities, medicine, medical supplies, and replacement parts to the Crimea region of Ukraine. General License 4 defined the term “medical supplies” to mean those medical devices, as defined in paragraph (d)(3) of General License 4, that are included on the List on OFAC's website ( www.treasury.gov/​ofac ) on the Ukraine-/Russia-Related Sanctions page. On the same day, OFAC also posted the List on its website. Most recently, on August 12, 2016, OFAC updated the List to include additional items, and published the List in the Federal Register (82 FR 23716, May 23, 2017).

OFAC incorporated General License 4 into § 589.513 of the Ukraine-/Russia-Related Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 589 (the “Regulations”), on May 2, 2022 (87 FR 26094, May 2, 2022). Accordingly, OFAC is amending the List to replace the reference to General License 4 with a reference to § 589.513 of the Regulations. OFAC is not making substantive changes to any items on the List but is making technical changes to spelling, capitalization, and punctuation, including: Replacing the “%” symbol with the word “percent”; replacing “cu. ft.” with “cubic feet”; replacing “surgical instruments—all types and sizes” with “surgical instruments”; replacing “or” with “and”; replacing “anaesthesia” and terms with this root word such as “anaesthesiology” and “anaethesiometers” with the preferred North American spelling of “anesthesia,” “anesthesiology,” and “anethesiometers”; replacing “haemoglobin” with the preferred North American spelling “hemoglobin”; replacing some semi-colons with commas; and changing several terms from capital letters to lowercase, for example editing “Contact Lens cleaning solutions” to “Contact lens cleaning solutions.” As indicated in Note 1 to § 589.513(j)(4) of the Regulations, the List is maintained on OFAC's website and will be published in the Federal Register , as will any changes to the List.
