In a Determination published in the Federal Register on August 25, 2003 (Volume 68, Number 164), the Department of State imposed a number of terms and conditions with respect to the acquisition and disposition of motor vehicles by or on behalf of the Cuban Interests Section. Those conditions were imposed as a reciprocal measure because the Cuban Government for some time had imposed restrictions and impediments to the importation, purchase, and resale of vehicles by the U.S. Interests Section in Cuba. The Department of State is now rescinding the Determination published August 25, 2003, in the Federal Register and lifting all terms and conditions that it imposed on the Cuban Interests Section and its staff and dependent family members with regard to the acquisition and disposition of motor vehicles. Upon the publication of this Determination in the Federal Register, the Cuban Interests Section, its staff, and their dependent family members will be permitted to acquire and dispose of motor vehicles without restriction other than restrictions or other requirements imposed on all foreign missions and their members to obtain specific motor vehicle services from the U.S. Department of State. erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES Persons Affected by This Action This Determination applies primarily to the Cuban Interests Section of the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, DC, its staff, and their dependent family members.
