DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Office of Foreign Assets Control


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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: OFAC: Assistant Director for 
Licensing, 202-622-2480; Assistant Director for Regulatory Affairs, 
202-622-4855; or Assistant Director for Sanctions Compliance & 
Evaluation, 202-622-2490.

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 Sec.  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 Sec.  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 Sec.  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.
