Exchange Visitor Program—Use of
Forms DS–2019 in the Summer Work
Travel Program
Department of State.
Re-allocation of Forms DS–2019
to designated Summer Work Travel
Sponsors.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of State (the
Department) will permit current
sponsors in the Summer Work Travel
(SWT) program category to apply to the
Department for a program adjustment by
allocation of Forms DS–2019 that were
previously allocated to SWT sponsors in
business for the full 2011 calendar year,
but which no longer operate in the SWT
program category. These forms are not
currently allocated to any sponsor. If
allocated, the total number of SWT
program participants would remain
within the aggregate actual total SWT
participant program size for 2011 (i.e.,
the overall program participant level
and designation moratorium established
by the notice published by the
Department in 2011 (Public Notice
7677, 76 FR 68808).
DATES: Effective September 1, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department administers the Exchange
Visitor Program pursuant to the Mutual
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act
of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2451 et.
seq.), also known as the Fulbright-Hays
Act (the Act). The purpose of the Act is
to increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States
and the people of other countries,
including through educational and
cultural exchanges. The Department’s
implementing regulations for the
Exchange Visitor Program are set forth
at 22 CFR part 62.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00126
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

On November 7, 2011, the Office of
Private Sector Exchange published
Public Notice 7677, which provided
that, until further notice, SWT program
sponsors in business for the full 2011
calendar year would not be permitted to
expand their number of program
participants beyond their actual total
2011 participant program size (a cap),
and that no new applications from
prospective sponsors for SWT program
designation would be accepted (a
moratorium).
In effect, the cap limited the SWT
program’s aggregate size to the 2011
participant level, which was 109,187
participants, and the moratorium fixed
the 50 designated sponsors active in the
2011 SWT program. The purpose of the
cap and moratorium was to give the
Department time to review and take
next steps in reforming the SWT
program.
Since 2011, the Department has
implemented significant reforms of the
SWT program, reflected in several
rulemakings, increases in Department
staff to monitor SWT program
implementation in the field, compliance
reviews, and periodic Departmentsponsor dialogue sessions.
Between 2011 and 2015, the number
of designated SWT program sponsors
operating in the SWT program
decreased from 50 to 41. In 2015, 12,959
fewer exchange visitors could
participate in the SWT program than the
109,187 participants that constituted the
aggregate actual total program
participant size in 2011.
This notice informs SWT program
sponsors that they may apply to adjust
their number of program participants
beyond their respective, sponsorspecific 2011 participant program size.
A designated sponsor in good standing
(one without imposed sanctions in the
SWT program category), and currently
active in the SWT program, may apply
in writing to the Department’s Office of
Designation, on or after September 1,
2016, for program adjustment pursuant
to 22 CFR 62.12(d).
22 CFR 62.12(d)(2) provides that a
request for program adjustment must
include certain required information as
well as any other information requested
by the Department. The Department
requests that, pursuant to § 62.12(d)(2),
an application for SWT program
adjustment include information about
the sponsor’s:
(1) Ability to meet emerging foreign
policy priorities through increased
people-to-people exchanges;
(2) need to meet demand while
maintaining an equitable balance
between summer (northern hemisphere)
