TURBOFAC Commentary (111 words)

Notes:

1) This provision—added to the NTSR on 5-17-2021 in connection with a broader modernization of the regulations—is unique to the FNKSR and NTSR.

The FNKSR, perhaps along with the GTSR, is one of the sanctions programs that frequently apply to foreign nationals that are prisoners in the U.S. (and are therefore “U.S. persons” while they are awaiting trial or imprisoned in the U.S.) See also 536.510. The purpose of this GL is evidently to account for the possibility of SDNTs being represented pro bono in the U.S. by entities that are entitled to seek reimbursement from federal, state or local funds.
