The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is issuing regulations to implement Executive Order 13848 of September 12, 2018 (“Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election”).  These regulations are currently available for public inspection with the Federal Register and will take effect upon publication in the Federal Register on April 29, 2019.  OFAC intends to supplement this part 579 with a more comprehensive set of regulations, which may include additional interpretive and definitional guidance and additional general licenses and statements of licensing policy.
