States for implementation of the 1993
Hague Convention on Protection of
Children and Co-operation in Respect of
Intercountry Adoption (the Convention).
Under the Convention and the IAA,
once the Convention enters into force
for the United States, agencies and
persons that seek to provide adoption
services must generally be accredited,
temporarily accredited, approved, or
otherwise exempt. The United States
intends to ratify the Convention once
the necessary preparations for its
implementation in the United States
have been made.
In this public notice, the Department
is announcing the transitional
application deadline (TAD). In order for
an agency or person to be accredited or
approved as of the time the Convention
enters into force for the United States or

submit an application and the required
fee(s) on or before the TAD to an
accrediting entity with jurisdiction to
evaluate its application. The
Department has designated two
accrediting entities. They are: The
Council on Accreditation (COA) and
Colorado’s Department of Human
Services. The TAD is November 17,
2006. See 22 CFR part 96.19 for further
information on the TAD.
Agencies or persons that do not seek
to be accredited or approved by the time
the Convention enters into force for the
United States may submit an
application and the required fee(s) to an
accrediting entity with jurisdiction to
evaluate its application at any time after
the TAD. Agencies seeking temporary
accreditation must apply by the TAD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Agencies
whose applications are received after
midnight on November 17, 2006 may
not be accredited, temporarily
accredited, or approved as of the time
the Convention enters into force for the
United States. Please send
accreditation/approval applications to
the appropriate designated accrediting
entity at the address listed in the

Sfmt 4703

intercountry adoption cases in the year
prior to the TAD and only for the one
or two-year period following the
Convention’s entry into force for the
United States. Please see 22 CFR 96.95
for further information on temporary
accreditation.
Shortly after the TAD on November
17, 2006, the designated accrediting
entities will make public the names and
addresses of agencies and persons that
have applied to be accredited,
temporarily accredited, or approved.
The accrediting entities will also
provide a mechanism for the public to
comment on applicants, and will
consider, where appropriate, comments
received from the public in their
accreditation, temporary accreditation,
and approval decisions.
The Department, in consultation with
the designated accrediting entities, will
subsequently establish and announce
the deadline for initial accreditation or
approval (the DIAA), the date by which
the accreditation/approval process must
be completed for an agency to be
accredited, temporarily accredited, or
approved at the time the Convention
enters into force for the United States.
Designated accrediting entities must
use their best efforts to provide a
reasonable opportunity for an agency or
person that applied by the TAD to
complete the accreditation or approval
process by the DIAA. The accrediting
entities will not publicly release their
accreditation (including temporary
accreditation) and approval decisions
until the uniform notification date, the
date when the accrediting entities notify
all adoption service providers that
applied by the TAD of their
accreditation or approval decisions.
Only those agencies and persons that
are accredited, temporarily accredited,
or approved by the DIAA will be
included on the initial list of accredited
and temporarily accredited agencies and
approved persons that the Department
will deposit with the Permanent Bureau
of the Hague Conference on Private
International Law. An agency or person
may also apply for full accreditation
(not temporary accreditation) or
approval at any time after November 17,
2006 but such applicants may not be
accredited or approved by the DIAA.
Dated: September 29, 2006.
Maura Harty,
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Consular
Affairs, Department of State.
