participating. This additional
recruitment is possible as the transition
to the new sample is finalized. When
hospitals from the old sample are
phased out, they can be replaced with
hospitals from the new sample. In 2009
and 2010, DAWN plans to recruit 2
States with centralized ME/C systems.
To achieve full participation by ME/Cs
in the metropolitan areas currently
covered, DAWN plans to recruit
approximately 20 more ME/Cs from the
13 metropolitan areas, and
approximately 20 ME/Cs from
metropolitan areas in the rest of the
country. DAWN data are submitted
electronically, using eHERS (electronic
Hospital Emergency Reporting System)
and eMERS (electronic Medical
Examiner Reporting System). In most of
the facilities participating in DAWN (83
percent of the EDs and 58 percent of the
ME/C offices), data are collected by
government contractor staff; these
facilities are not included in the burden
statement because the facility staff are
not involved in data collection. The
annual burden estimates for those EDs
and ME/C offices that collect the data
using their own staff are shown below.
There will be minor editorial changes to
both the ED and ME/C reporting forms
to simplify reporting. On the ME/C
reporting form, a data element for case
narrative will be added. These changes
are not anticipated to impact the overall
burden.

I. Background
A. What is The Hague Adoption
Convention?
The Convention on Protection of
Children and Co-operation in Respect of
Intercountry Adoption (Hague Adoption
Convention) signed at The Hague, The
Netherlands, on May 29, 1993, is a
treaty that strengthens protections for
children, birth parents, and prospective
adoptive parent(s). It establishes
internationally agreed upon rules and
procedures for adoptions between
countries that have a treaty relationship
under the Hague Adoption Convention.
It provides a framework for member
countries to work together to ensure that
children are provided with permanent,
loving homes, that adoptions take place
in the best interests of a child, and that
the abduction, sale and trafficking in
children is prevented. The President
signed the instrument of ratification for
the Hague Adoption Convention on
November 16, 2007, and the Hague
Adoption Convention entered into force
for the United States on April 1, 2008.
72 FR 71730.
B. What is the Direct Mail Program?
Under the Direct Mail program,
applicants for certain immigration
benefits mail the designated application
or petition directly to a U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS)
Service Center or Lockbox facility
instead of submitting it to their local
USCIS office. USCIS has discussed the
purpose and strategy of the Direct Mail
program in detail in previous rules and
notices. (See 59 FR 33903, 59 FR 33985,
60 FR 22408, 61 FR 2266, 61 FR 56060,
