Subsequently, OFAC issued four further iterations of GL 1: on February 19, 2009, OFAC issued GL 1-A, which superseded GL 1; on May 21, 2009, OFAC issued GL 1-B, which superseded GL 1-A; on November 13, 2009, OFAC issued GL 1-C, which superseded GL 1-B; and on May 17, 2010, OFAC issued GL 1-D, which superseded GL 1-C. Each GL was made available on OFAC's website ( *www.treas.gov/ofac* ) when it was issued. The text of these GLs is provided below.
