Abstract
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.

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 (<a href="http://www.treasury.gov/ofac">www.treasury.gov/ofac</a>).
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 (<a href="http://www.treasury.gov/ofac">www.treasury.gov/ofac</a>) 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
[[Page 32501]]
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.
