Electronic Availability
The text of the List of Medical Supplies, General License 4 under
the Ukraine-related sanctions program, and additional information
concerning OFAC are available from OFAC's Web site (www.treasury.gov/ofac).
Background
On December 19, 2014, OFAC issued and posted on its Web site
(www.treasury.gov/ofac) 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 of Medical Supplies on OFAC's
Web site (www.treasury.gov/ofac) on the Ukraine-related Sanctions page.
On the same day, OFAC also posted the List of Medical Supplies on its
Web site. Most recently, on August 12, 2016, OFAC updated the List of
Medical Supplies to include additional items.
As highlighted in the Note to paragraph (d)(4) of General License
4, the List of Medical Supplies is maintained on OFAC's Web site and
will be published in the Federal Register, as will any changes to the
list. Accordingly, both the current version of the List of Medical
Supplies and the original version of the List of Medical Supplies are
reproduced below. The versions below correct a typographical error in
versions that were previously published on OFAC's Web site.
