OFAC Amends Ukraine-Related Sanctions Regs
The Office of Foreign Assets Control amended and reissued its Ukraine-related sanctions regulations, the agency said in a final rule. The action will replace the regulations first published on May 8, 2014, with a more “comprehensive” set of regulations, which includes more information on general licenses and other “regulatory provisions that will provide further guidance to the public," OFAC said.

OFAC also revised several frequently asked questions for the regulations.
