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) Provision type common to all embargoes though with significant variations across programs. License only explicitly excludes "transfers involving accounts blocked pursuant to §510.201(d)." Those accounts, if outside of U.S. jurisdiction, are not technically not "blocked." With respect to all other frozen accounts, 542.502(e) applies "No license or other authorization contained in or issued pursuant to this part authorizes transfers of or payments from blocked property or debits to blocked accounts unless the license or other authorization explicitly authorizes the transfer of or payment from blocked property or the debit to a blocked account)."
2) Compare the broader CACR version (515.579). Presumably, given that this is a separate subsection of the CACR version in addition to the "operating expenses" part, the "personal expenditures of the employees, grantees, and contractors, or persons who share a common dwelling as a family member of such employees, grantees, and contractors, of third-country official missions" would fall outside the scope of "operating expenses," as it appears here.
3) The GL appears to permit the "facilitation" of transactions involving any type of person blocked pursuant to the NKSR, provided that the transaction is "necessary for the operating expenses or other official business of third-country diplomatic or consular missions in North Korea."
