Abstract of Proposed Collection The export, temporary import, and brokering of defense articles, defense services, and related technical data are licensed by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) in accordance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (‘‘ITAR,’’ 22 CFR parts 120– 130) and section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act. ITAR § 126.18 eliminates, subject to certain conditions, the requirement for an approval by DDTC of the transfer of unclassified defense articles, which includes technical data, to or within a foreign business entity, foreign governmental entity, or international organization that is an authorized enduser or consignee (including transfers to approved sub-licensees) for defense articles, including the transfer to dual nationals or third-country nationals who are bona fide regular employees directly employed by the foreign consignee or end-user. To use ITAR § 126.18, effective procedures must be in place to prevent PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30599 diversion to any destination, entity, or for purposes other than those authorized by the applicable export license or other authorization. Those conditions can be met by requiring a security clearance approved by the host nation government for its employees, or the end-user or consignee have in place a process to screen all its employees and to have executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement that provides assurances that the employee will not transfer any defense articles to persons or entities unless specifically authorized by the consignee or end-user. ITAR § 126.18(c)(2) also provides that the technology security/ clearance plans and screening records shall be made available to DDTC or its agents for law enforcement purposes upon request. Methodology When information kept on file pursuant to this recordkeeping requirement is required to be sent to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, it may be sent electronically or by mail according to guidance given by DDTC.

Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The information collected on the DS-82 is used to facilitate the 
issuance of passports to U.S. citizens and nationals. The primary 
purpose of soliciting the information is to establish citizenship, 
identity, and entitlement to the issuance of the U.S. passport or 
related service, and to properly administer and enforce the laws 
pertaining to the issuance thereof.
    The DS-82 solicits data necessary for Passport Services to issue a 
United States passport (book and/or card format) in the exercise of 
authorities granted to the Secretary of State in 22 United States Code 
(U.S.C.) section 211a et seq. and Executive Order (EO) 11295 (August 5, 
1966) for the issuance of passports to U.S. nationals.
    The issuance of U.S. passports requires the determination of 
identity, nationality, and entitlement, with reference to the 
provisions of title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 
U.S.C. 1401-1504), the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United 
States, other applicable treaties and laws and implementing regulations 
at 22 CFR part 50 and 51. The specific regulations pertaining to the 
Application for a U.S. Passport by Mail are at 22 CFR 51.20 and 51.21

Methodology

    Passport Services collects information from U.S. citizens and non-
citizen nationals who complete and submit the U.S. Passport Renewal 
Application. Passport applicants can either download the DS-82 from the 
internet or obtain one from an Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency. The 
form must be completed, signed, and submitted along with the 
applicant's previous U.S. passport.
    U.S. citizens overseas may download the DS-82 from the Internet or 
obtain one from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate, along with the 
procedures to be followed when applying overseas.

Additional Information

    The Privacy Act statement has been amended to clarify that an 
applicant's failure to provide his or her Social Security number may 
result in the denial of an application, consistent with section 32101 
of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. 114-94), 
which authorizes the Department to deny U.S. passport applications when 
the applicant failed to include his or her Social Security number. It 
also makes clear that failure to include one's Social Security number 
may also subject the applicant to a penalty enforced by the 
International Revenue Service. These requirements and the underlying 
legal authorities are further described on page 3 of the instructions 
titled ``Federal Tax Law'' which has also been amended to include a 
reference to Public Law 114-94.
