On 15 January, OFAC advised a number of new additions to its sanctions lists. There are 9 individuals and 5 entities added, with 6 other existing entries (including IRISL) being amended. Those designated included the Cuban Ministry of the Interior, Lazaro Alberto Álvarez Casas. OFAC has also published new regulations to implement Executive Order EO 13936 re Hong Kong and OFAC says that it intends to supplement them with a more comprehensive set of regulations, which may include additional interpretive and definitional guidance and additional general licences and statements of licensing policy.
