payee is a national of any blocked country other than Portugal, Spain, Sweden, or Switzerland,

exceed $100 to such payee and his household, except that additional sums not exceeding $25 in
any one calendar month may be remitted for each member of such payee’s household in
addition to the payee, provided that in no case shall a sum in excess of $200 per calendar month
be remitted to any such payee and his household:
(b) Such remittances are not made from a blocked account other than from an account
in a banking institution within the United States in the name of, or in which the beneficial
interest is held by, the payee or members of his household.
(c) If the payee is within any blocked country, the remittance may be effected only:
(i) By the payment of the dollar amount of the remittance to a domestic bank for
credit to a blocked account in the name of a banking institution within such country; or

(3) Domestic banks through which any such remittances originate shall execute promptly
Section A of Form TFR-1S2 in triplicate with respect to each such remittance. When so executed,
such copies of Form TFR-132 shall be forwarded promptly to the domestic bank ultimately trans­
mitting abroad (by cable or otherwise) the payment instructions for such remittance and the latter
bank shall, upon the receipt thereof, execute Section B of such copies of Form TFR-132 and promptly
file such executed report in triplicate with the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank. If the domestic
bank through which any such remittance originates is also the bank ultimately transmitting abroad
the payment instructions for such remittance, then such bank shall execute both Sections A and B
of such report. No report on Form TFR-132 shall be deemed to have been filed in compliance with this
general license unless both Sections A and B thereof have been duly executed as herein prescribed.
(4) As used in this general license the term “household” small mean:
(a) Those individuals sharing a common dwelling as a family; or
(b) Any individual not sharing a common dwelling with others as a family.
