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

[[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.
