Previous Request for Comments
This request provides a 30-day
comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day
notice (85 FR 35946, June 12, 2020)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). We
received one comment in response to
our 60 day notice. The commenter
expressed their support for the
collection of information stating that the
USCG should be allowed to collect the
necessary information from all U.S.
vessels and vessels with no nationality
transiting these waters. The commenter
also stated that this rule not only will
reinforce the embargo, but it will
increase security.
The U.S. Coast Guard enforces these
requirements on all applicable vessels.
Under exsiting authority, the Coast
Guard can request this information from
operators of vessels identified as being
without nationality or stateless. No
changes have been made to the
information collection request in
response to the comment.
Information Collection Request
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

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-a`-vis BIS and OFAC licenses
and monitor compliance with BIS and
OFAC regulations. These two agencies
minister 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 has been decreased to 5 hours
per year due to the reinforced
restrictions and current status of
diplomatic relations between the United
States and Cuban governments resulting
in fewer individuals are attempting to
travel to Cuba via the maritime realm.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: August 21, 2020.
