DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 2295]


Clearance of Collections of Information Through the Office of 
Management and Budget

AGENCY: Office of Protocol, Department of State.

ACTION: Request for public comment. The Department of State proposes to 
submit the following public information collection requirements to OMB 
for review and clearance under ``The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.'' 
44 USC Chapter 35, as amended.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In order to extend privileges and immunities under the Vienna 
Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961 and the Vienna Convention on 
Consular Relations, 1963 and to issue official identification cards, 
the Department of State must obtain information from foreign government 
representatives concerning the appointment and termination of 
assignment of diplomatic and career and honorary consular officers, 
foreign government employees and their dependents in the United States. 
In 1990, the Department of State revised the forms which it previously 
had used to collect this information. As the expiration date on these 
documents is about to take effect, the Department is seeking an 
extension of its ongoing collections of this information. As part of 
this process, the Department already has solicited the comments of the 
providers of this information, the foreign embassies in Washington and 
has incorporated changes based upon their comments, as well as 
suggestions provided by Department of State personnel.

Lawrence Dunham, Assistant Chief of Protocol (202) 647-1985.
