TURBOFAC Commentary (85 words)

Notes:

1) This FAQ clarifies that transactions "ordinarily incident and necessary to an activity authorized pursuant to § 510.512(a)" include "engag[ing] with North Korea’s Ministry of Public Health to provide assistance to clean water projects; with customs officials to import humanitarian-related items into the country; and with local jurisdictions, such as city governments and hospitals, to provide food and medical devices." The combination of the FAQ and the text of the GL suggests that such "engagement" can take the form of "partnerships or partnership agreements".
