    OMB Number: 1505-0202.
    Abstract: OFAC issues specific licenses authorizing travel-related 
transactions incident to visits to members of a person's immediate 
family who are nationals of Cuba once per three-year period and for no 
more than 14 days. In order to ensure that the one-trip-per-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: 60,000.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 10 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 10,000.
    The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of 
information covered by this notice:
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of 
information displays a valid Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') 
control number. Books or records relating to a collection of 
information must be retained for five years.

Request for Comments

    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will 
become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 
the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance 
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information has 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates 
of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and 
purchase of services to provide information.

    Approved: June 25, 2008.
