licenses are issued in response to applications submitted by persons

of the application process. Applications to OFAC for the release of
blocked funds are strongly encouraged to be made via the electronic
licensing portal here: <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/ofac-license-application-page">https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/ofac-license-application-page</a>.
