SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: OFAC Form ‘‘Request for a
Specific License to Visit an Immediate
Family Member in Cuba who is a
National of Cuba once in a three year
period.’’
Agency Form Number: TD–F 90–22.60
and TD–F 90–22.60 (SP).
OMB Number: 1505–0202.
Abstract: On October 10, 2003, the
President announced the establishment
of a Commission for Assistance to a Free
Cuba, which he tasked with identifying
ways to hasten Cuba’s transition to a
free and open society. On May 1, 2004,
the Commission delivered its Report to
DATES:

Jkt 205001
the President recommending, among
other things, changes to the U.S.
sanctions with respect to Cuba. On May
6, 2004, the President directed the
implementation of certain of the
Commission’s recommendations. The
Office of Foreign Assets Control
(‘‘OFAC’’) issued an interim final rule
on June 16, 2004, implementing these
recommendations through amendments
to the Cuban Assets Control
Regulations, effective June 30, 2004.
These amendments, among other
things, changed the rules regarding
travel-related transactions incident to
visiting relatives in Cuba. Prior to the
amendments, a person with a Cuban
national close relative (defined to
include second cousins) in Cuba could
engage in travel-related transactions
incident to visiting that relative once
every 12 months under a general license
(no application necessary) and more
often pursuant to a specific license, if
requested. Effective June 30, 2004, the
once-per-twelve-months general license
was eliminated. OFAC now issues
specific licenses authorizing travelrelated transactions incident to visits to
members of a person’s immediate family
(defined much more narrowly) who are
nationals of Cuba once per three-year
period and for no more than 14 days.
In order to ensure that the one-tripper-three-year-period and other
requirements are not violated, OFAC
uses forms TD–F 90–22.60 and TD–F
90–22.60 (SP) to collect information on
the traveler and the family members in
Cuba whom the traveler is visiting. The
form is provided in English and Spanish
to accommodate those persons for
whom Spanish is the primary language.
The use of the form provides a
standardized method of information
collection, ensures uniform and
consistent compliance, and allows
OFAC to maintain detailed records that
enable OFAC to verify that travelers are
not exceeding the restriction of the
frequency of visits to Cuba and that they
are only visiting members of their
immediate family.
Current Actions: There are no changes
being made to the form at this time.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
35,000.
Estimated Time Per Respondent: 10
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 5,833.
