(d) Identification of a United States person means the name,
unique title, address or other personal identifier of a United States
person in the context of activities conducted by others and related
to that
person. A reference to a product by brand name, or manufacturer’s name or the use of a name in a descriptive sense, e.g.,
“Monroe Doctrine”, is not an identification of a United States
person.

(f) United States person: the following guidelines apply in determining whether a person whose status is unknown meets the definition of United States person:
(1) A person known to be currently in the United States will be
treated as a United States person unless that person is positively
identified as an alien who has not been admitted for permanent
residence or unless the nature of the person’s communications or
other indicia in the contents or circumstances of such communications give rise to a reasonable belief that such person is not a
United States person.
(2) A person known to be currently outside the United States, or

whose location is not known, will not be treated as a United States

person unless such person can be positively identified as such or

the nature

of the person’s communications

or other indicia in the

contents or circumstances of such communications give rise to a
reasonable belief that such person is a United States person.
(3) A person known

to be an alien admitted

for permanent

resi-

dence in the United States is assumed to have lost his status as a
United States person if the person is not in compliance with the
administrative formalities provided by law (8 U.S.C. 1203) that

enable such persons to re-enter the United States without regard to
the provisions of law that would otherwise restrict an alien’s entry

into the United States. The failure to follow the statutory procedures provides a reasonable basis to conclude that such alien has
abandoned any intention of maintaining his status as a permanent
resident alien.
(4) An unincorporated association whose headquarters are located outside the United States may be presumed not to be a United
States person unless the Agency has information indicating that a
substantial number of its members are citizens of the United States
or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
