OMB is quite
concerned that, despite repeated notice, the agency continues to
submit supporting statements based on a version of the 83-I prior
to 10/1995. Once again, the agency is reminded that OMB revised the
83-I and supporting statement instructions and that the agency's
submissions must be responsive to the 10/95 revisions. Future
submissions that fail to comply may not be approved and returned as
improperly submitted.

The information is needed to analyze
the historical impact of US sanctions on both the U.S. and Cuban
economics, and to evaluate the current impact on U.S.-Cuban
bilateral trade, investment, employment, and consumers of the
economic sanctions on trade and investment with Cuba. Responses
will be incorporated in organizations which have traded/invested in
Cuba, or might do so if normal trade relations were
re-established.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
