The Libyan General License signed and announced on Friday, April 23, is effective as of Thursday, April 29, 2004. Most prospective transactions with Libya are authorized. While Libyan property and interests in property blocked prior to todays' date must remain blocked unless specifically licensed or otherwise authorized for release, new transactions involving "[LIBYA]" entries on OFAC's SDN list need no longer be interdicted; those entries have been removed from the list for that purpose. The exportation of goods, software or technology (including technical data or other information) to Libya from the United States is authorized, provided that the exportation is licensed or otherwise authorized by the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security under the Export Administration Regulations. Certain travel-related services remain prohibited. This includes flights to or from Libya by U.S. air carriers, code-sharing involving flights to or from Libya, and flights to or from the United States by Libyan air carriers.
