Title: Unauthorized Entry into Cuban Territorial Waters.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0106.
Summary: The Coast Guard, pursuant to Presidential proclamation and
order of the Secretary of Homeland Security, is requiring U.S. vessels,
and vessels without nationality, less than 100 meters, located within
the internal waters or the 12 nautical mile territorial sea of the
United States, that thereafter enter Cuban territorial waters, to apply
for and receive a Coast Guard permit.
Need: The information is collected to regulate departure from U.S.
territorial waters of U.S. vessels, and vessels without nationality,
and entry thereafter into Cuban territorial waters. The need to
regulate this vessel traffic supports ongoing efforts to enforce the
Cuban embargo, which is designed to bring about an end to the current
government and a peaceful transition to democracy. Accordingly, only
applicants that demonstrate prior U.S. government approval for exports
to and transactions with Cuba will be issued a Coast Guard permit.
The permit regulation requires that applicants hold United States
Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and U.S.
Department of Treasury the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
licenses that permit exports to and transactions with Cuba. The USCG
permit process thus allows the agency to collect information from
applicants about their status vis-[agrave]-vis BIS and OFAC licenses
and monitor compliance with BIS and OFAC regulations. These two
agencies administer statutes and regulations that proscribe exports to
(BIS) and transactions with (OFAC) Cuba. Accordingly, in order to
assist BIS and OFAC in the enforcement of these license requirements,
as directed by the President and the Secretary of Homeland Security,
the Coast Guard is requiring certain U.S. vessels, and vessels without
nationality, to demonstrate that they hold these licenses before they
depart for Cuban waters.
Forms: CG-3300, Application for Permit to Enter Cuban Territorial
Seas.
Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains around 5 hours
per year.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.
Dated: March 29, 2024.
Kathleen Claffie,
Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
