activities in regions outside the United
States.

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and

“foreign country” is any sovereignty that
isn’t the United States.

conducted by the organization outside
the United States that form the basis of
the organization's exemption from
