Information Collection Request

    1. 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. This permit is required by 33 CFR 
107.215, Unauthorized Entry Into Cuban Territorial Waters, issued under 
authority of 50 U.S.C. 191, 192, 194, 195; 14 U.S.C. 141; Presidential

    Need: The information is collected to regulate departure from U.S. 
territorial

[[Page 10387]]

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.
    Forms: CG-3300.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains 1 hour per year.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command, 
Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
