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 remains around 5 hours per year. Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended. Dated: March 29, 2024. Kathleen Claffie, Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.

Background

    Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1505 and Treasury Decision 85-93, published 
in the Federal Register on May 29, 1985 (50 FR 21832), the interest 
rate paid on applicable overpayments or underpayments of customs duties 
must be in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code rate established 
under 26 U.S.C. 6621 and 6622. Section 6621 provides different interest 
rates applicable to overpayments: one for corporations and one for non-
corporations.
    The interest rates are based on the Federal short-term rate and 
determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of the 
Secretary of the Treasury on a quarterly basis. The rates effective for 
a quarter are determined during the first-month period of the previous 
quarter.
    In Revenue Ruling 2024-6, the IRS determined the rates of interest 
for the calendar quarter beginning April 1, 2024, and ending on June 
30, 2024. The interest rate paid to the Treasury for underpayments will 
be the Federal short-term rate (5%) plus three percentage points (3%) 
for a total of eight percent (8%) for both corporations and non-
corporations. For overpayments made by non-corporations, the rate is 
the Federal short-term rate (5%) plus three percentage points (3%) for 
a total of eight percent (8%). For corporate overpayments, the rate is 
the Federal short-term rate (5%) plus two percentage points (2%) for a 
total of seven percent (7%). These interest rates used to calculate 
interest on overdue accounts (underpayments) and refunds (overpayments) 
of customs duties remain the same from the previous quarter. These 
interest rates are subject to change for the calendar quarter beginning 
July 1, 2024, and ending on September 30, 2024.
    For the convenience of the importing public and U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection personnel, the following list of IRS interest rates
