This rule requires certain U.S.
vessels, and vessels without nationality, in U.S. territorial
waters that thereafter enter Cuban territorial waters to apply for
and receive a permit from the U.S. Coast Guard.
The change in burden is an
ADJUSTMENT due to a change in the number of applicants. Annualized
costs to respondents changed immeasurably if at all. There has been
a substantial decrease in the number of applications submitted
which correlates to the dramatic increase the Coast Guard has
observed in go-fast smuggling events. We anticipate fewer
legitimate applications as Cuban maritime flow shifts conveyances
from rafts to high-speed, organized, smuggling operations.
