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).

[Update: on May 17, 2021, the FNKSR were modernized to bring its text in line with that of the typical set of blocking regulations. The change was non-substantive. See comments to 598.202. The below has not been amended to reflect the May 17, 2021 amendments to the FNKSR]
1) For general background on the case to which this guidance pertains, see the first part of the comments to Case No. FNK-2015-324389-1.
2) This letter was issued concurrently with Case No. FNK-2016-327937-1, concerning the applicant's co-defendant family member. With the exceptions discussed below, that guidance is virtually identical in substance to this one and addresses the same underlying issues, in particular the restriction on the use of blocked funds and funds of SDNs other than the client to pay legal fees.
