Control Regulations, 31 CFR part 515
(CACR) by persons subject to the

make authorized remittances to persons

accounts as well as the provision of
remittance forwarding services.
The information in 1505–0168 is a
certification required pursuant to
§ 515.572(a)(4) of the CACR by persons
subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States who engage in authorized travel
to Cuba. OFAC will use the information

governing persons subject to U.S.

authorized travel and carrier services
with respect to Cuba and persons who

The record keeping burden associated
with these collections is addressed in
1505–0164.
The burden estimates herein reflect
the current CACR. On April 17, 2019,
National Security Advisor Ambassador
John Bolton announced forthcoming
regulatory changes that may impact
these estimates. Because those
regulatory changes have not yet been
issued, however, it is not possible to
reflect any potential changes to the
relevant burden estimates. OFAC will
update the relevant burden estimates as
necessary and feasible.
Current Actions: OFAC requires that
persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction
providing remittance forwarding
services or travel or carrier services
authorized pursuant to 31 CFR 515.572
retain for at least five years from the
date of the transaction a certification
from each customer indicating the
section of 31 CFR part 515 or, if
relevant, the number of the specific
license, that authorizes the customer to
send the remittance to Cuba or that
authorizes the customer to travel to
Cuba, respectively. In addition, the
service provider must maintain on file
the names and addresses of individual
remitters or travelers, the number and
amount of each remittance, and that
name and address of each recipient, as
applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collections.
Affected Public: Individuals,
households, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and
banking institutions. The likely
respondents and record-keepers affected
by this collection of information are
persons using U.S. remittance
forwarding services and U.S. travel and
carrier services.
