purpose, the Collection’s likely burden 

on the affected public, an explanation of 

the necessity of the Collection, and 

other important information describing 

the Collection. There is one ICR for each

The Coast Guard invites comments on

Departmental functions. In particular, 

the Coast Guard would appreciate 

comments addressing: (1) The practical 

utility of the Collection; (2) the accuracy 

of the estimated burden of the

Information Collection Request 

Title: U.S. Coast Guard Nonappropriated Fund Employment 

Application. 

OMB Control Number: 1625–0120. 

Summary: The USCG NonAppropriated Fund Employment 

Application form is used to collect 

applicant qualification information 

associated with vacancy 

announcements. The form allows 

individuals to apply for employment 

opportunities with the Coast Guard 

Non-appropriated Fund (NAF) 

workforce and fills the gap created by 

the cancellation of the optional 

Application for Federal Employment, 

form OF–612, OMB No. 3206–0219. 

Need: The U.S. Coast Guard rates 

applicants under the authority of Title 

5 of U.S. Code, Sections 1104, 2103, 

3301 and 3320. The Optional 

Application for Federal Employment, 

Form OF–612, was cancelled and the 

information is now collected in USA 

Jobs. The NAF personnel system does 

not utilize USA Jobs because of the high 

cost and high turnover rate and thus 

relied heavily on form OF–612 for 

applicants. 

Forms: CG–1227B, Non-Appropriated 

Fund Employment Application. 

Respondents: Public applying for 

positions with the USCG Nonappropriated fund workforce. 

Frequency: Per vacancy 

announcements. 

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has decreased from 8,400 hours 

to 3,837 hours a year due to a decrease 

in the estimated annual number of 

respondents. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

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

Dated: October 16, 2017.

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, U.S. Coast Guard 

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 from 01 hours to 

351 hours a year due to the 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: October 16, 2017.

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