Sec. 595.501  Effect of license or authorization.



    (a) No license or other authorization contained in this part, or 

otherwise issued by or under the direction of the Director of the Office 

of Foreign Assets Control, shall be deemed to authorize or validate any 

transaction effected prior to the issuance of the license, unless 

specifically provided in such license or authorization.

    (b) No regulation, ruling, instruction, or license authorizes any 

transaction prohibited under this part unless the regulation, ruling, 

instruction, or license is issued by the Office of Foreign Assets 

Control and specifically refers to this part. No regulation, ruling, 

instruction, or license referring to this part shall be deemed to 

authorize any transaction prohibited by any provision of this chapter 

unless the regulation, ruling, instruction or license specifically 

refers to such provision.

    (c) Any regulation, ruling, instruction, or license authorizing any 

transaction otherwise prohibited under this part has the effect of 

removing a prohibition or prohibitions contained in this part from the 

transaction, but only to the extent specifically stated by its terms. 

Unless the regulation, ruling, instruction, or license otherwise 

specifies, such an authorization does not create any right, duty, 

obligation, claim, or interest in, or with respect to, any property 

which would not otherwise exist under ordinary principles of law.
