Notes:

1) This GL is unique to the RuHSR, (but compare 560.517, allowing Iranians with accounts in the U.S. to close their accounts effect a “lump sum transfer”).

2) Note that the GL is limited to accounts of “individuals,” which is a term OFAC uses to refer to natural persons other than “entities”.

3) Query: does the GL authorize Russian individuals with dollar-based accounts held at a blocked bank to transfer their funds to a dollar-based account at a different Russian financial institution? It appears that the answer is yes.
