United States as the final destination; or
(3) If shipment is through an
intermediate country and the invoices

Repeal of Civil Aviation Regulations

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In accordance with Executive
Order 13563 of January 18, 2011, which
addresses agency review of existing
regulations, including those that may be
outmoded or ineffective, the Department
of State is repealing our regulations on
civil aviation. These regulations, which
relate to civil aircraft accidents abroad
and were promulgated in 1957, are
outdated and duplicative of other
authorities, including subsequent
statutes, regulations, and Department of
State guidance, that specify detailed,
modern, comprehensive, and effective
procedures for dealing with civil aircraft
disasters abroad.

This rule is effective December
10, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Daniel Klimow, Attorney Adviser,
Office of Legal Affairs, Overseas Citizen
Services, U.S. Department of State, 2201
C Street NW., SA–17, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule
removes 22 CFR part 102, which relates
to consular responsibilities regarding an
aircraft accident abroad involving U.S.
citizens and property. In particular,
subpart A of part 102 addresses
reporting, rendering assistance,
safeguarding wreckage, salvage of
diplomatic pouches, protective services
for survivors, disposition of remains,
preservation of property, limitations on
expenditure of funds, and protection of
U.S. interests in the case of civil
aviation disasters. Subpart B addresses
the Department of State’s responsibility
to report to the President on public
comments related to decisions of the
now-dissolved Civil Aeronautics Board.
The Department of State is repealing
part 102 because it is outdated and
duplicative of other federal laws,
regulations, and guidelines that provide
modern, comprehensive, and detailed
instructions and information for
consular officers dealing with civil
aviation disasters abroad involving U.S.
citizens, as outlined below.
The Aviation Security Improvement
Act of 1990 (AVA), 22 U.S.C. 5501 et
seq., was enacted to improve the
response of the Department of State and
missions abroad to aircraft disasters
abroad in which U.S. citizens are killed.
The AVA mandates a series of detailed
responsibilities pertaining to the
treatment of victims and their families
following an aviation disaster abroad.
For example:
• 22 U.S.C. 5501(b)(1)(C) directs the
Departments of State and Transportation
to negotiate agreements to achieve
improved availability of passenger
manifest information;
• 22 U.S.C. 5503 addresses
notification of families of victims and
sets a policy of the Department of State,
pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2715, to directly
and promptly notify the families of
victims of aviation disasters abroad
concerning U.S. citizens directly
affected by such a disaster, including
timely written notice, notwithstanding
notification by any other person;
• 22 U.S.C. 5504 provides that, if
possible, in the event of an aviation
disaster directly involving U.S. citizens
abroad, the Department of State will
assign a specific individual and an
alternate as the Department of State

liaisons for the family of each such U.S.
citizen affected, and establish a toll-free
communications system to facilitate
inquiries concerning the effect of any
disaster abroad on U.S. citizens residing
or traveling abroad;
• 22 U.S.C. 5505 addresses disaster
management training for Department of
State personnel;
• 22 U.S.C. 5506 addresses
Department of State responsibilities and
procedures at international disaster sites
and provides, among other items, that
not less than one senior officer from the
Bureau of Consular Affairs of the
Department of State shall be dispatched
to the site of an international disaster
involving significant numbers of U.S.
citizens abroad. It also requires the
Department of State to promulgate
procedures for deployment of crisis
response teams to provide on-site
assistance to families who may visit the
site and to act as an ombudsman in
matters involving the foreign local
government authorities and social
service agencies. Crisis teams may
include public affairs, forensic, and
bereavement experts, and are to be sent
to the site of any international disaster
involving U.S. citizens abroad to
augment in-country embassy and
consulate staff; and
• 22 U.S.C. 5507 addresses recovery
and disposition of remains and personal
effects, and identifies a Department of
State policy to liaise with foreign
governments and persons and U.S. air
carriers concerning arrangements for the
preparation and transport of the remains
of U.S. citizens who die abroad, as well
as the disposition of their personal
effects.
In addition, the Department of State
updated and republished the regulations
at 22 CFR part 72, entitled Deaths and
Estates, in 2007, which provide detailed
guidance for consular officials regarding
their consular authorities and
responsibilities in cases of deaths of
U.S. nationals abroad. The regulations
apply to deaths that occur in the course
of an aircraft disaster, and further
address consular reports of death
abroad, circumstances and
responsibilities for serving as
provisional conservator of a deceased
U.S. citizen’s estate, disposition of
remains, taking physical possession of
specified personal effects, release of the
deceased’s personal estate to the estate’s
legal representative, and disposition of
real estate, among other issues. 22 CFR
72.21 and 72.7 impose restrictions on
the expenditure of funds and the
incurring of financial obligations in
connection with deaths and estates of
U.S. citizens abroad. 22 CFR 71.6
provides that Foreign Service Officers
