Previous Request for Comments

Coast Guard published the 60-day 

notice (82 FR 48837, October 20, 2017) 

required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That 

Notice elicited no comments.

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 

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-a`-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 has increased to 351 hours per 

year due to an increase in applicants 

after the normalization of relations with 

the Cuban government. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. 

Dated: January 16, 2018.

Acting Chief, U.S. Coast Guard, Office of

BILLING CODE 9110–04–P 

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Office of the Secretary 

Determination Pursuant to Section 102 

of the Illegal Immigration Reform and 

Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, 

as Amended 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice of determination. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Homeland 

Security has determined, pursuant to 

law, that it is necessary to waive certain 

laws, regulations and other legal 

requirements in order to ensure the 

expeditious construction of barriers and 

roads in the vicinity of the international 

land border of the United States near the 

Santa Teresa Land Port of Entry in the 

state of New Mexico. 

DATES: This determination takes effect 

on January 22, 2018. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

principal mission requirements of the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(‘‘DHS’’) include border security and the 

detection and prevention of illegal entry 

into the United States. Border security 

is critical to the nation’s national 

security. Recognizing the critical 

importance of border security, Congress 

has ordered DHS to achieve and 

maintain operational control of the 

international land border. Secure Fence 

Act of 2006, Public Law 109–367, 2, 120 

Stat. 2638 (Oct. 26, 2006) (8 U.S.C. 1701 

note). Congress defined ‘‘operational 

control’’ as the prevention of all 

unlawful entries into the United States, 

including entries by terrorists, other 

unlawful aliens, instruments of 

terrorism, narcotics, and other 

contraband. Id. Consistent with that 

mandate from Congress, the President’s 

Executive Order on Border Security and 

Immigration Enforcement Improvements 

directed executive departments and 

agencies to deploy all lawful means to 

secure the southern border. Executive 

Order 13767, § 1. To achieve this end, 

the President directed, among other 

things, that I take immediate steps to 

prevent all unlawful entries into the 

United States, to include the immediate 

construction of physical infrastructure
