Processes or Institutions in Belarus'' (71 FR 35485, June 20, 2006). 
Subsequently, OFAC issued four further iterations of GL 1: on February 
19, 2009, OFAC issued GL 1-A, which superseded GL 1; on May 21, 2009, 
OFAC issued GL 1-B, which superseded GL 1-A; on November 13, 2009, OFAC 
issued GL 1-C, which superseded GL 1-B; and on May 17, 2010, OFAC 
issued GL 1-D, which superseded GL 1-C. Each GL was made available on 
OFAC's website (www.treas.gov/ofac) when it was issued. The text of
