Information Collection Request
Title: Unauthorized Entry into Cuban
Territorial Waters.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:55 Jul 15, 2024
Jkt 262001
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-à-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. et seq., chapter
35, as amended.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) codified at 42 U.S.C. 4001, et seq.
is authorized by Public Law 90–448
(1968) and expanded by Public Law 93–
234 (1973). The Department of
Homeland Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA)
administers the NFIP. The NFIP’s major
objective is to assure that participating
communities are achieving the flood
loss reduction objectives through
adoption and enforcement of adequate
land use and control measures. Sections
1315 and 1361 provide the basis for
FEMA’s process to evaluate how well
communities are implementing their
floodplain management programs. Title
44 CFR 59.22 directs the respondent to
submit evidence of the corrective and
preventive measures taken to meet the
flood loss reduction objectives.
The two key methods FEMA uses in
determining community assistance
needs are through the Community
Assistance Contact (CAC) and
Community Assistance Visit (CAV),
which serve to provide a systematic
means of monitoring community NFIP
compliance. Through the CAC and CAV,
FEMA can also determine to what
extent communities are achieving the
flood loss reduction objectives of the
NFIP. By providing assistance to
communities, the CAC and CAV also
serve to enhance FEMA’s goals of
reducing future flood losses, thereby
achieving the NFIP’s cost-containment
objective. The burden hours and costs

associated with this collection were reevaluated which led to the main
revision in this extension request.
FEMA is moving away from CAV and
CAC reports to the newly designed
process of NFIP Compliance Audits in
response to a report issued on May 5,
2020, by the Government Accounting
Office (GAO) entitled ‘‘National Flood
Insurance Program: FEMA Can Improve
Community Oversight and Data
Sharing.’’ This report gave several
recommendations including the
following: assess different approaches
for ensuring compliance with NFIP
requirements and ensure data on
community visits are up-to-date and
complete. While the new NFIP
Compliance Audit process aligns with
the old CAV and CAC processes, it is
more organized, more consistent, more
transparent, and allows for better
documentation. The main efficiency
gained in the new process is that it is
a progressive audit which allows for
varying depths of investigation based on
the community’s needs. Another
efficiency is a compliance score. These
two improvements will allow FEMA to
better utilize limited resources to
increase community compliance.
FEMA is also adding the collection of
information from NFIP-participating
communities in order to comply with
the Endangered Species Act. The
information may include the impact of
the proposed development on the
natural floodplain functions, the
amount of fill, compensatory storage
information, the amount of impervious
surface, the area in which clearing/
grading may occur, the number of trees
removed, and other information related
to hydraulic connections.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on March 28, 2024, at 89 FR
21534 with a 60-day public comment
period. FEMA received no public
comments. The purpose of this notice is
to notify the public that FEMA will
submit the information collection
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and
clearance.

Abstract: FEMA previously used the
Community Assistance Contact (CAC)
and the Community Assistance Visit
(CAV) to make a comprehensive
assessment of a community’s floodplain
management program. Through this
assessment, FEMA assisted the
community to understand the NFIP’s
requirements and implement effective
flood loss reductions measures.
Communities can achieve cost savings
through flood mitigation actions by way
of insurance premium discounts and
reduced property damage. The CAV and
CAC processes have been updated
recently to the NFIP Compliance Audit
process which aims to do a more
efficient, consistent and transparent job
of assessing the community’s floodplain
management program, providing them
with the needed technical assistance to
improve it, and documenting the results
for data analysis.
