Abstract of Proposed Collection
The forms associated with OMB
Collection Number 1405–0105 is the
means by which foreign missions in the
United States request the issuance of a
driver license and/or a sales tax
exemption card for foreign mission
personnel and their dependents. The
exemption from sales taxes and the
operation of a motor vehicle in the
United States by foreign mission
personnel are benefits under the Foreign
Missions Act, 22 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.,
which must be obtained by foreign
missions through the U.S. Department
of State, Office of Foreign Missions (DS/
OFM). The DS–1972, DS–1972D, and
DS–1972T applications provide OFM
with the necessary information required
to administer the two benefits
effectively and efficiently. Sales tax
exemption is enjoyed under the
provisions of international law but is
granted on the bases of reciprocity. The
administration of driver licenses at the
national level helps the Federal
Government identify operators who
repeatedly receive citations. This also
helps the Federal Government
determine the necessary course of action
that may be required against an
individual’s driving privilege.
Accordingly, the Federal Government is
able to provide consistency to the
diplomatic community on a national
level through a uniform program. The
respondents are foreign government

‘‘Regulations for Implementing
NEPA’’—regulations 1502.10–1502.18.
