SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Persons Providing Remittance 

Forwarding Services to Cuba. 

OMB Number: 1505–0167. 

Abstract: The information is required 

of persons subject to the jurisdiction of 

the United States who make remittances 

to persons in Cuba pursuant to the 

general licenses in section 515.570 of 

the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 

31 CFR part 515 (CACR). The 

information will be used by OFAC to 

monitor compliance with regulations 

governing unlimited family and family 

inherited remittances, donative 

remittances, unlimited remittances to 

religious organizations, remittances to 

students in Cuba pursuant to an 

educational license, limited emigration 

remittances, and periodic remittances 

from blocked accounts. 

Current Actions: As a result of policy 

changes, which were implemented in 

regulatory changes published by OFAC 

on January 16, 2015 (80 FR 2291) and 

on September 21, 2015 (80 FR 56915), 

OFAC modified the information 

collection requirements on Remittance 

Forwarders (RFs) and removed the 

suggested form TD F 90–22.52 (Cuban 

Remittance Affidavit) for the collection 

of that information as previously 

approved by OMB (No. 1505–0167). In 

addition, OFAC removed, among others, 

the monetary limits on donative 

remittances to Cuba. As to information 

collection requirements, OFAC 

previously required RFs to collect 

information showing compliance with 

relevant remittance provisions and/or 

provide a voluntary remittance affidavit 

form including, within the relevant 

category of authorized remittance, the 

name of the recipient (and if applicable, 

relation, date of birth, visa number/date) 

and the remitter’s address, contact 

information, mother’s maiden name, 

and date of birth. OFAC now requires 

only that persons subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction providing remittance 

forwarding services authorized pursuant 

to 31 CFR 515.570 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 that authorizes the person to send 

the remittance to Cuba. In addition, 

banking institutions providing 

remittance forwarding services must 

maintain on file the names and 

addresses of individual remitters, the 

number and amount of each remittance, 

and the name and address of each 

recipient, as applicable. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals, 

households, businesses, banking 

institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,000,000. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 1 

minute. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 116,667. 

The following paragraph applies to all 

of the collections of information covered 

by this notice: 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) control number. 

Books or records relating to a collection 

of information must be retained for five 

years. 

Request for Comments 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. All comments will become a 

matter of public record. Comments are 

invited on: (a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information has practical utility; (b) the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information.
