Publishing the State Department's List of Entities and 
Subentities Associated With Cuba (Cuba Restricted List)

ACTION: Notice; publication of list of entities and subentities.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of State is publishing a List of Restricted 
Entities and Subentities Associated With Cuba (Cuba Restricted List) 
with which direct financial transactions are generally prohibited under 
the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR). The Department of 
Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) generally will deny 
applications to export or reexport items for use by entities or 
subentities on the Cuba Restricted List.

DATES: February 6, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Haas, Office of the Coordinator 
for Cuban Affairs, tel.: 771-204-7384, email: [email protected] 
Department of State, Washington, DC 20520.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 16, 2017, the President signed National Security 
Presidential Memorandum 5 (NSPM-5) on Strengthening the Policy of the 
United States Toward Cuba. As directed by NSPM-5, 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 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 746.2. The 
regulatory amendment to the CACR added Sec.  515.209, which generally 
prohibits direct financial transactions with certain entities and 
subentities identified on the State Department's Cuba Restricted List. 
The regulatory amendment to 15 CFR 746.2 notes BIS will generally deny 
applications to export or re-export items for use by entities or 
subentities identified on the Cuba Restricted List.
    The Cuba Restricted List was rescinded January 16, 2025, following 
the issuance of National Security Memorandum 29 (NSM-29) on January 14, 
2025, which revoked NSPM-5 and directed the Secretary of State to 
immediately rescind the Cuba Restricted List. On January 20, 2025, the 
President issued an Executive Order rescinding NSM-29, and the 
Secretary of State is therefore re-publishing the Cuba Restricted List 
consistent with the instruction in NSPM-5 and the existing CACR.
    The State Department, on behalf of the Secretary of State, is now 
issuing the Cuba Restricted List, as published below and available on 
the State Department's website (https://www.state.gov/cuba-sanctions/cuba-restricted-list/).
    This update includes one additional subentity that was not present 
on the Cuba Restricted List prior to its rescission. The State 
Department will continue to update the Cuba Restricted List 
periodically.
    The publication of the Cuba Restricted List implements the 
directive in section 3(a)(i) of NSPM-5 to 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.

Electronic Availability

    This document and additional information concerning the Cuba 
Restricted List are available from the Department of State's website 
(https://www.state.gov/cuba-sanctions/cuba-restricted-list/).

List of Restricted Entities and Subentities Associated With Cuba as of 
February 6, 2025

    Below is the U.S. Department of State's ``Cuba Restricted List'' of 
entities and subentities under the control of, or acting for or on 
behalf of, the Cuban military, intelligence, or security services or 
personnel with which direct financial transactions would 
disproportionately benefit such services or personnel at the expense of 
the Cuban people or private enterprise in Cuba. For information 
regarding the prohibition on direct financial transactions with these 
entities, please see 31 CFR 515.209. All entities and subentities were 
listed on February 6, 2025, unless otherwise indicated.
    *** Entities or subentities owned or controlled by another entity 
or subentity on this list are not treated as restricted unless also 
specified by name on the list.***
    *** Activities in parentheticals are intended to aid in
