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) The native PDF file contains LICENSE No. TCO-2016-338378-1, as well as the letter from USAID to the UNDP transmitting the grant and its associated terms. USAID asserted "deliberative process privilege" over the State Department memorandum referenced in the authorization section of the license.
2) The license and its associated documents are notable for a few reasons. First, compare the license with, e.g., LICENSE No. SOM-2012-296153-1 and the USAID West Bank/Gaza Licenses. Direct and indirect dealings with sensitive SDN organizations, where they are permitted at all, appear to commonly go through USAID (with the State Department acting as a liaison between the OFAC and USAID).
3) Second, note that while the authorization applies on its face to "the United States Department of State, United States Agency for International Development (USAID),...
