SUBCHAPTER VI—REGULATION OF VESSELS
IN TERRITORIAL WATERS OF UNITED STATES
§ 70051. Regulation of anchorage and movement
of vessels during national emergency
Whenever the President by proclamation or
Executive order declares a national emergency
to exist by reason of actual or threatened war,
insurrection, or invasion, or disturbance or threatened disturbance of the international relations
of the United States, or whenever the Attorney
General determines that an actual or anticipated mass migration of aliens en route to, or arriving off the coast of, the United States presents urgent circumstances requiring an immediate Federal response, the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating 1 may make, subject to the approval of the
President, rules and regulations governing the
anchorage and movement of any vessel, foreign
or domestic, in the territorial waters of the
United States, may inspect such vessel at any
time, place guards thereon, and, if necessary
in his opinion in order to secure such vessels
from damage or injury, or to prevent damage
or injury to any harbor or waters of the United
States, or to secure the observance of the rights
and obligations of the United States, may take,
by and with the consent of the President, for
such purposes, full possession and control of
such vessel and remove therefrom the officers
and crew thereof and all other persons not specially authorized by him to go or remain on
board thereof.
Whenever the President finds that the security
of the United States is endangered by reason of
actual or threatened war, or invasion, or insurrection, or subversive activity, or of disturbances
or threatened disturbances of the international
relations of the United States, the President is
authorized to institute such measures and issue
such rules and regulations—
(a) to govern the anchorage and movement of
any foreign-flag vessels in the territorial waters
of the United States, to inspect such vessels at
any time, to place guards thereon, and, if necessary in his opinion in order to secure such
vessels from damage or injury, or to prevent
damage or injury to any harbor or waters of
the United States, or to secure the observance
of rights and obligations of the United States,
may take for such purposes full possession and
control of such vessels and remove therefrom
the officers and crew thereof, and all other persons not especially authorized by him to go or
remain on board thereof;
(b) to safeguard against destruction, loss, or
injury from sabotage or other subversive acts,
accidents, or other causes of similar nature, vessels, harbors, ports, and waterfront facilities in
the United States and all territory and water,
continental or insular, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
The President may delegate the authority to issue such rules and regulations to the Secretary.1
Any appropriation available to any of the Executive Departments shall be available to carry out
the provisions of this subchapter.

TITLE 46—SHIPPING

(Added Pub. L. 115–282, title IV, § 407(b)(5), Dec. 4,
2018, 132 Stat. 4267.)
Codification
Section, as added by Pub. L. 115–282, is based on acts
June 15, 1917, ch. 30, title II, § 1, 40 Stat. 220; Aug. 9, 1950,
ch. 656, § 1, 64 Stat. 427; Sept. 26, 1950, ch. 1049, § 2(b), 64
Stat. 1038; Pub. L. 96–70, title III, § 3302(a), Sept. 27, 1979,
93 Stat. 498; Pub. L. 104–208, div. C, title VI, § 649, Sept. 30,
1996, 110 Stat. 3009–711; Pub. L. 108–293, title II, § 223, Aug.
9, 2004, 118 Stat. 1040; Pub. L. 115–232, div. C, title XXXV,
§ 3548(a), Aug. 13, 2018, 132 Stat. 2328; Pub. L. 115–282, title
IV, § 407(b)(1)–(4), Dec. 4, 2018, 132 Stat. 4267, which was
formerly classified to section 191 of Title 50, War and National Defense, before being transferred to this chapter
and renumbered as this section. Prior to such renumbering and transfer, section 3548(a) of Pub. L. 115–232 amended section 1 of title II of act June 15, 1917, by substituting “the Secretary of the department in which the Coast
Guard is operating” for “the Secretary of the Treasury”
in the first par. Subsequently, section 407(b)(2) of Pub. L.
115–282 directed striking out “of the Treasury” but could
not be executed because of the amendment by Pub. L.
115–232. Section 407(b)(3) of Pub. L. 115–282 further directed striking out “of the department in which the Coast
Guard is operating”, which appeared in two places following the amendment by Pub. L. 115–232, but the amendment did not specify where the deletion should occur.
The amendment was executed by striking out such phrase
following “regulations to the Secretary” in concluding
provisions, to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
Proc. No. 6867. Declaration of National Emergency
and Invocation of Emergency Authority Relating
to Regulation of Anchorage and Movement of
Vessels
Proc. No. 6867, Mar. 1, 1996, 61 F.R. 8843, provided:
WHEREAS, on February 24, 1996, Cuban military aircraft intercepted and destroyed two unarmed U.S.-registered
civilian aircraft in international airspace north of Cuba;
WHEREAS the Government of Cuba has demonstrated
a ready and reckless willingness to use excessive force,
including deadly force, in the ostensible enforcement of
its sovereignty;
WHEREAS, on July 13, 1995, persons in U.S.-registered
vessels who entered into Cuban territorial waters suffered injury as a result of the reckless use of force against
them by the Cuban military; and
WHEREAS the entry of U.S.-registered vessels into Cuban territorial waters could again result in injury to, or
loss of life of, persons engaged in that conduct, due to
the potential use of excessive force, including deadly force,
against them by the Cuban military, and could threaten
a disturbance in international relations;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States of America, including section 1 of title II
of Public Law 65-24, ch. 30, June 15, 1917, as amended (50
U.S.C. 191) [see 46 U.S.C. 70051], sections 201 and 301 of
the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) [50
U.S.C. 1621, 1631], and section 301 of title 3, United States
Code, find and do hereby proclaim that a national emergency does exist by reason of a disturbance or threatened disturbance of international relations. In order to
address this national emergency and to secure the observance of the rights and obligations of the United States,
I hereby authorize and direct the Secretary of Transportation (the “Secretary”) to make and issue such rules
and regulations as the Secretary may find appropriate
to regulate the anchorage and movement of vessels, and
delegate to the Secretary my authority to approve such
rules and regulations, as authorized by the Act of June
15, 1917 [see Tables for classification].
Section 1. The Secretary may make rules and regulations governing the anchorage and movement of any vessel, foreign or domestic, in the territorial waters of the
United States, which may be used, or is susceptible of
being used, for voyage into Cuban territorial waters and

Page 906

that may create unsafe conditions and threaten a disturbance of international relations. Any rule or regulation issued pursuant to this proclamation may be effective immediately upon issuance as such rule or regulation shall involve a foreign affairs function of the United
States.
Sec. 2. The Secretary is authorized to inspect any vessel, foreign or domestic, in the territorial waters of the
United States, at any time; to place guards on any such
vessel; and, with my consent expressly hereby granted,
take full possession and control of any such vessel and
remove the officers and crew, and all other persons not
specifically authorized by the Secretary to go or remain
on board the vessel when necessary to secure the rights
and obligations of the United States.
Sec. 3. The Secretary may request assistance from
such departments, agencies, officers, or instrumentalities
of the United States as the Secretary deems necessary
to carry out the purposes of this proclamation. Such departments, agencies, officers, or instrumentalities shall,
consistent with other provisions of law and to the extent
practicable, provide requested assistance.
Sec. 4. The Secretary may seek assistance from State
and local authorities in carrying out the purposes of this
proclamation. Because State and local assistance may
be essential for an effective response to this emergency,
I urge all State and local officials to cooperate with Federal authorities and to take all actions within their lawful authority necessary to prevent the unauthorized departure of vessels intending to enter Cuban territorial
waters.
Sec. 5. All powers and authorities delegated by this
proclamation to the Secretary may be delegated by the
Secretary to other officers and agents of the United States
Government unless otherwise prohibited by law.
Sec. 6. This proclamation shall be immediately transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
this first day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and ninety-six, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and twentieth.
William J. Clinton.
[Provisions of Proc. No. 6867 superseded to the extent
of inconsistency with provisions of Procs. No. 7757, 9398,
and 9699, see Sec. 6 of Proc. No. 7757, Sec. 6 of Proc. No.
9398, and Sec. 6 of Proc. No. 9699, set out below.]
Continuation of National Emergency Declared by
Proc. No. 6867
Notice of President of the United States, dated Jan. 13,
2017, 82 F.R. 6185, provided:
On February 25, 2016, by Proclamation 9398, the national emergency with respect to Cuba was modified and
continued to reflect the re-establishment of diplomatic
relations between the United States and Cuba. The unauthorized entry of any U.S.-registered vessel into Cuban territorial waters continues to be detrimental to the
foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act
(50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect to Cuba and the emergency authority relating to the regulation of the anchorage and movement
of vessels set out in Proclamation 6867 as amended by
Proclamation 7757 and as further modified by Proclamation 9398.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
Barack Obama.

Proc. No. 7757. Expanding the Scope of the National
Emergency and Invocation of Emergency Authority Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage
and Movement of Vessels into Cuban Territorial
Waters
Proc. No. 7757, Feb. 26, 2004, 69 F.R. 9515, provided:
By the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States of America, in order to expand the scope of the national emergency declared in
Proclamation 6867 of March 1, 1996 [set out above], based
on the disturbance or threatened disturbance of the international relations of the United States caused by actions
taken by the Cuban government, and in light of steps
taken over the past year by the Cuban government to
worsen the threat to United States international relations, and,
WHEREAS the United States has determined that Cuba
is a state-sponsor of terrorism and it is subject to the
restrictions of [former] section 6(j)(1)(A) of the Export
Administration Act of 1979 [former 50 U.S.C. 4605(j)(1)(A)],
section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 [22
U.S.C. 2371], and section 40 of the Arms Export Control
Act [22 U.S.C. 2780];
WHEREAS the Cuban government has demonstrated a
ready and reckless willingness to use excessive force, including deadly force, against U.S. citizens, in the ostensible enforcement of its sovereignty, including the February 1996 shoot-down of two unarmed U.S.-registered
civilian aircraft in international airspace, resulting in
the deaths of three American citizens and one other individual;
WHEREAS the Cuban government has demonstrated a
ready and reckless willingness to use excessive force, including deadly force, against U.S. citizens and its own
citizens, including on July 13, 1995, when persons in
U.S.-registered vessels that entered into Cuban territorial waters suffered injury as a result of the reckless use
of force against them by the Cuban military, and including the July 1994 sinking of an unarmed Cuban-registered vessel, resulting in the deaths of 41 Cuban citizens;
WHEREAS the Cuban government has impounded
U.S.-registered vessels in Cuban ports and forced the owners, as a condition of release, to violate U.S. law by requiring payments to be made to the Cuban government;
WHEREAS the entry of any U.S.-registered vessels into
Cuban territorial waters could result in injury to, or loss

§ 70051

of life of, persons engaged in that conduct, due to the
potential use of excessive force, including deadly force,
against them by the Cuban military, and could threaten
a disturbance of international relations;
WHEREAS the unauthorized entry of vessels subject
to the jurisdiction of the United States into Cuban territorial waters is in violation of U.S. law and contrary to
U.S. policy;
WHEREAS the objectives of U.S. policy regarding Cuba
are the end of the dictatorship and a rapid, peaceful
transition to a representative democracy respectful of
human rights and characterized by an open market economic system;
WHEREAS a critical initiative by the United States to
advance these U.S. objectives is to deny resources to the
repressive Cuban government, resources that may be used
by that government to support terrorist activities and
carry out excessive use of force against innocent victims, including U.S. citizens;
WHEREAS the unauthorized entry of U.S.-registered
vessels into Cuban territorial waters is detrimental to
the foreign policy of the United States, which is to deny
monetary and material support to the repressive Cuban
government, and, therefore, such unauthorized entries
threaten to disturb the international relations of the
United States by facilitating the Cuban government’s support of terrorism, use of excessive force, and continued
existence;
WHEREAS the Cuban government has over the course
of its 45-year existence repeatedly used violence and the
threat of violence to undermine U.S. policy interests.
This same regime continues in power today, and has
since 1959 maintained a pattern of hostile actions contrary to U.S. policy interests. Among other things, the
Cuban government established a military alliance with
the Soviet Union, and invited Soviet forces to install nuclear missiles in Cuba capable of attacking the United
States, and encouraged Soviet authorities to use those
weapons against the United States; it engaged in military adventurism in Africa; and it helped to form and
provide material and political support to terrorist organizations that sought the violent overthrow of democratically elected governments in Central America and elsewhere in the hemisphere allied with the United States,
thereby causing repeated disturbances of U.S. international relations;
WHEREAS the Cuban government has recently and
over the last year taken a series of steps to destabilize
relations with the United States, including threatening
to abrogate the Migration Accords with the United States
and to close the U.S. Interests Section, and Cuba’s most
senior officials repeatedly asserting that the United States
intended to invade Cuba, despite explicit denials from
the U.S. Secretaries of State and Defense that such action is planned, thereby causing a sudden and worsening
disturbance of U.S. international relations;
WHEREAS U.S. concerns about these unforeseen Cuban government actions that threaten to disturb international relations were sufficiently grave that on May 8,
2003, the United States warned the Cuban government
that political manipulations that resulted in a mass migration would be viewed as a “hostile act;”
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of
the United States of America, by the authority vested in
me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States
of America, including section 1 of title II of Public Law
65–24, ch. 30, June 15, 1917, as amended (50 U.S.C. 191) [see
46 U.S.C. 70051], sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) [50 U.S.C. 1621, 1631],
and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, in order to
expand the scope of the national emergency declared in
Proclamation 6867 of March 1, 1996 [set out above], and
to secure the observance of the rights and obligations of
the United States, hereby authorize and direct the Secretary of Homeland Security (the “Secretary”) to make
and issue such rules and regulations as the Secretary
may find appropriate to regulate the anchorage and movement of vessels, and authorize and approve the Secretary’s issuance of such rules and regulations, as author-

TITLE 46—SHIPPING

ized by the Act of June 15, 1917 [see Tables for classification].
Section 1. The Secretary may make rules and regulations governing the anchorage and movement of any vessel, foreign or domestic, in the territorial waters of the
United States, which may be used, or is susceptible of
being used, for voyage into Cuban territorial waters and
that may create unsafe conditions, or result in unauthorized transactions, and thereby threaten a disturbance of
international relations. Any rule or regulation issued pursuant to this proclamation may be effective immediately upon issuance as such rule or regulation shall involve
a foreign affairs function of the United States.
Sec. 2. The Secretary is authorized to inspect any vessel, foreign or domestic, in the territorial waters of the
United States, at any time; to place guards on any such
vessel; and, with my consent expressly hereby granted,
take full possession and control of any such vessel and
remove the officers and crew and all other persons not
specifically authorized by the Secretary to go or remain
on board the vessel when necessary to secure the rights
and obligations of the United States.
Sec. 3. The Secretary may request assistance from
such departments, agencies, officers, or instrumentalities
of the United States as the Secretary deems necessary
to carry out the purposes of this proclamation. Such departments, agencies, officers, or instrumentalities shall,
consistent with other provisions of law and to the extent
practicable, provide requested assistance.
Sec. 4. The Secretary may seek assistance from State
and local authorities in carrying out the purposes of this
proclamation. Because State and local assistance may
be essential for an effective response to this emergency,
I urge all State and local officials to cooperate with Federal authorities and to take all actions within their lawful authority necessary to prevent the unauthorized departure of vessels intending to enter Cuban territorial
waters.
Sec. 5. All powers and authorities delegated by this
proclamation to the Secretary may be delegated by the
Secretary to other officers and agents of the United States
Government unless otherwise prohibited by law.
Sec. 6. Any provisions of Proclamation 6867 [set out
above] that are inconsistent with the provisions of this
proclamation are superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
Sec. 7. This proclamation shall be immediately transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
this twenty-sixth day of February, in the year of our
Lord two thousand four, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and twentyeighth.
George W. Bush.

Proc. No. 9398. Modifying and Continuing the National Emergency With Respect to Cuba and Continuing To Authorize the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Vessels
Proc. No. 9398, Feb. 24, 2016, 81 F.R. 9737, provided:
By the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States of America, in order to
modify and continue the national emergency declared in
Proclamation 6867 of March 1, 1996, and expanded by
Proclamation 7757 of February 26, 2004 [both set out above],
in light of the need to continue the national emergency
based on a disturbance or threatened disturbance of the
international relations of the United States related to
Cuba, and,
WHEREAS the descriptions of the national emergency
set forth in Proclamations 6867 and 7757 no longer reflect
the international relations of the United States related
to Cuba;

Page 908

WHEREAS longstanding U.S. policy towards Cuba had,
at times, tended to isolate the United States from regional and international partners, constrained our ability to influence outcomes throughout the Western Hemisphere, and impaired the use of the full range of tools
available to the United States to promote positive change
in Cuba;
WHEREAS the following descriptions accurately describe the national emergency with respect to Cuba;
WHEREAS the United States and Cuba reestablished
diplomatic relations and opened embassies in each other’s
capitals on July 20, 2015, and the United States continues
to pursue the progressive normalization of relations while
aspiring towards a peaceful, prosperous, and democratic
Cuba;
WHEREAS the United States has committed to work
with the Government of Cuba on matters of mutual concern that advance U.S. national interests, such as migration, human rights, counter-narcotics, environmental protection, and trafficking in persons, among other issues;
WHEREAS the United States is committed to supporting safe, orderly, and legal migration from Cuba through
the effective implementation of the 1994–95 U.S.-Cuba Migration Accords;
WHEREAS the Cuban economy is in a relatively weak
state, contributing to an outflow of its nationals towards
the United States and neighboring countries;
WHEREAS the overarching objective of U.S. policy is
stability in the region, and the outflow of Cuban nationals may have a destabilizing effect on the United States
and its neighboring countries;
WHEREAS it is United States policy that a mass migration from Cuba would endanger the security of the
United States by posing a disturbance or threatened disturbance of the international relations of the United States;
WHEREAS the United States continues to maintain an
embargo with respect to Cuba;
WHEREAS the unauthorized entry of vessels subject
to the jurisdiction of the United States into Cuban territorial waters is in violation of U.S. law and contrary to
U.S. policy;
WHEREAS the unauthorized entry of United Statesregistered vessels into Cuban territorial waters is detrimental to the foreign policy of the United States, and
counter to the purpose of Executive Order 12807 [8 U.S.C.
1182 note], which is to ensure, among other things, safe,
orderly, and legal migration;
WHEREAS the possibility of large-scale unauthorized
entries of United States-registered vessels would disturb the international relations of the United States by
facilitating a possible mass migration of Cuban nationals;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of
the United States of America, by the authority vested in
me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States
of America, including section 1 of title II of Public Law
65–24, ch. 30, June 15, 1917, as amended (50 U.S.C. 191) [see
46 U.S.C. 70051], sections 201, 202, and 301 of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301
of title 3, United States Code, in order to modify the
scope of the national emergency declared in Proclamations 6867 and 7757, and to secure the observance of the
rights and obligations of the United States, hereby continue the national emergency with regard to Cuba as set
forth above and authorize and direct the Secretary of
Homeland Security (the “Secretary”) to make and issue
such rules and regulations as the Secretary may find appropriate to regulate the anchorage and movement of
vessels, and authorize and approve the Secretary’s issuance of such rules and regulations, as authorized by the
Act of June 15, 1917. Accordingly, I hereby direct:
Section 1. The Secretary may make rules and regulations governing the anchorage and movement of any vessel, foreign or domestic, in the territorial waters of the
United States, which may be used, or is susceptible of
being used, for voyage into Cuban territorial waters and
that may create unsafe conditions, or result in unauthorized transactions, and thereby threaten a disturbance of
international relations. Any rule or regulation issued pur-
