available on OFAC’s website: 

www.treas.gov/ofac. 

Background 

OFAC issued GL 15 on May 22, 2018 

to authorize certain transactions 

necessary for the maintenance or wind 

down of operations or existing contracts 

with GAZ Group, or entities in which 

GAZ Group owned, directly or 

indirectly, a 50 percent or greater 

interest, otherwise prohibited by the 

Ukraine Related Sanctions Regulations, 

31 CFR part 589 (which have since been 

renamed the Ukraine-/Russia-Related 

Sanctions Regulations). At the time of 

issuance, OFAC made GL 15, which had 

an expiration date of October 23, 2018, 

available on its website (www.treas.gov/ 

ofac). Subsequently, OFAC issued 

further iterations of GL 15, all of which 

were available on OFAC’s website. 

These iterations extended the period the 

authorizations in GL 15 remained in 

effect and broadened the scope of GL 

15’s authorizations. OFAC published 

GLs 15 through GL 15J in the Federal 

Register on July 28, 2021 (86 FR 40310, 

July 28, 2021). 

On January 24, 2022, OFAC issued GL 

15K, replacing and superseding GL 15J. 

GL 15K had an expiration date of April 

27, 2022. On April 25, 2022, OFAC 

issued GL 15L, replacing and 

superseding GL 15K. GL 15L narrows 

the scope of GL 15K and had an 

expiration date of May 25, 2022. The 

text of GLs 15K and 15L is provided 

below.
