Background
On June 16, 2017, the President
signed the National Security
Presidential Memorandum on
Strengthening the Policy of the United
States Toward Cuba (NSPM). As
directed by the NSPM, on November 9,
2017, the Department of the Treasury’s
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
published a final rule in the Federal
Register amending the CACR, 31 CFR
PO 00000
Frm 00125
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
57523
part 515, and the Department of
Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) published a final rule in
the Federal Register amending, among
other sections, the section of the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR)
regarding Cuba, 15 CFR part 746. The
regulatory amendment to the CACR
added § 515.209, which generally
prohibits direct financial transactions
with certain entities and subentities
identified on the State Department’s
Cuba Restricted List, which the State
Department is updating as published
below, and accessible on the State
Department’s website. The regulatory
amendment to the EAR, specifically
§ 746.2, notes BIS will generally deny
applications to export or reexport items
for use by entities or subentities
identified on the Cuba Restricted List.
(https://www.state.gov/e/eb/tfs/spi/cuba/
cubarestrictedlist/index.htm). This
update includes 26 newly identified
subentities and five amendments to
previously-listed subentities including
three name-changes, one new alias, and
one typographical correction (the
subentity ‘‘Hotel Palacio del Marque´s de
San Felipe y Santiago de Bejucal
(Habaguanex)’’ was incorrectly split
between two lines). The State
Department will continue to update the
Cuba Restricted List periodically.
The publication of the updated Cuba
Restricted List further implements the
directive in paragraph 3(a)(i) of the
NSPM for the Secretary of State to
identify the entities or subentities, as
appropriate, that are under the control
of, or act for or on behalf of, the Cuban
military, intelligence, or security
services or personnel, and publish a list
of those identified entities and
subentities with which direct financial
transactions would disproportionately
benefit such services or personnel at the
expense of the Cuban people or private
enterprise in Cuba.

information concerning the Cuba
Restricted List are available from the
