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 onetrip-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.
