Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This information collection is being adjusted to reflect revisions to the Regulations, which OFAC published on January 28, 2011. These revisions implement certain policy changes announced by the President on January 14, 2011, designed to increase people-to-people contact, support civil society in Cuba, enhance the free flow of information to, from, and among the Cuban people, and help promote their independence from Cuban authorities. Specifically, the information collection is being revised to reflect an anticipated increase in the number of respondents from 2,100,000 to 3,000,000. While the voluntary form (affidavit) has been revised to reflect various revisions to the Regulations, OFAC does not anticipate that these changes will have an impact on the burden for those completing the form. However, given the anticipated increase in the total number of respondents, OFAC has revised the total burden requested to 100,000 hours.
