Abstract of proposed collection: The
information requested will be used to
support entry of the name of a minor (an
unmarried person under 18) into the
Children’s Passport Issuance Alert
Program (CPIAP). CPIAP provides a
mechanism for parents or other persons
with legal custody of a minor to obtain
information regarding whether the
Department has received a passport
application for the minor. This program
was developed as a means to prevent
international abduction of a minor or to
help prevent other travel of a minor
without the consent of a parent or legal
guardian. If a minor’s name and other
identifying information has been
entered into the CPIAP, when the
Department receives an application for
a new, replacement, or renewed
passport for the minor, the application
will be placed on hold for up to 90 days
and the Office of Children’s Issues may
attempt to notify the requestor of receipt
of the application. Form DS–3077 will
be primarily submitted by a parent or
legal guardian of a minor. 22 C.F.R
§ 51.28, which is the regulation that
implements the statutory two parent
consent requirement and prescribes the
bases for an exception is one of the main
legal authorities that this form is based
from.
Methodology: The completed form
DS–3077 can be filled out online and
printed or completed by hand. The form
must be manually signed and submitted
to the Office of Children’s Issues by
email, fax or mail.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
1. Background
The African Growth and Opportunity
Act (AGOA) (Title I of the Trade and
Development Act of 2000, Pub. L. 106–
200) (19 U.S.C. 2466a et seq.), as
amended, authorizes the President to
designate sub-Saharan African countries
as beneficiary sub-Saharan African
countries eligible for duty-free treatment
for certain additional products not
included for duty-free treatment under
the Generalized System of Preferences
(GSP) (Title V of the Trade Act of 1974
(19 U.S.C. 2461 et seq.) (the ‘‘1974
Act’’)), as well as for the preferential
treatment for certain textile and apparel
articles. Many developments since
AGOA was enacted in 2000—including
a significant increase in the number of
trade agreements signed by both the
United States and sub-Saharan African
countries with third parties and
reductions in preference programs by
other developed countries such as the
European Union and Canada—signal the

importance for the United States to
assess many policies and approaches,
including those beyond preferences, to
deepen the U.S.-sub-Saharan Africa
trade and investment relationship. Such
policies and approaches could maintain
and enhance the competitiveness of U.S.
companies and investors in the region
while promoting sustainable,
transformative development in the
region. Congress also has signaled an
interest in exploring such policies and
approaches, and pursuant to section
110(b) of the Trade Preferences
Extension Act of 2015, Public Law 114–
27, required USTR to submit certain
information about the prospect for free
trade agreements with sub-Saharan
African countries.
Accordingly, USTR is undertaking a
comprehensive analysis to examine how
to deepen our trade and investment
relationship with sub-Saharan African
countries. USTR is hereby soliciting
public comment to assist in the
preparation of its report.
2. Public Comment and Hearing
USTR invites written comments and/
or oral testimony of interested persons
on issues including, but not limited to,
the following: (a) Why a deeper trade
and investment relationship is critical
both for African growth and for U.S.
interests; (b) which trade and
investment policy areas should serve as
building blocks to deepen this
relationship; (c) what goals should the
U.S. and African partners establish with
respect to each building block; and (d)
what mechanisms and approaches could
be used to best achieve these goals.
Written comments must be received no
later than 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, January
19, 2016.
A hearing will be held on Thursday,
January 28, 2016, in the Main Hearing
Room, 500 E Street SW., Washington,
DC 20436, in the facilities of the U.S.
International Trade Commission.
Persons wishing to testify at the hearing

their intention by 11:59 p.m., Tuesday,
