Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.
Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).
Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category).

1) Case No. CU-77803 appears to take the position that FOIA is an administrative proceeding that is within the scope of the standard legal services general license (receipt of fees for FOIA proceeding were authorized, but not the provision of services in connection with the FOIA requests, implying that they were already authorized). It may be that any proceeding reviewable under the APA qualifies as an “administrative proceeding” for the purposes of the standard legal services GL. The challenging of the blocking of funds is also withing the scope of the legal services GL.
2) The licensing policy articulated here should not come as much of a surprise -- reimbursement for FOIA costs are not an expense worthy of payment from blocked funds, even when the FOIA request was made the challenge the...
