10609(c), an eligible claimant is (1) a
U.S. person, as defined by 42 U.S.C.
10609(j)(8), with a final judgment issued
by a U.S. district court under state or
federal law against a state sponsor of
terrorism and arising from an act of
international terrorism, for which the
foreign state was found not immune
under provisions of the Foreign
Sovereign Immunities Act, codified at
28 U.S.C. 1605A or 1605(a)(7) (as such
section was in effect on January 27,
2008); (2) a U.S. person, as defined in
42 U.S.C. 10609(j)(8), who was taken
and held hostage from the United States

number 1:00–CV–03110 (EGS) of the
United States District Court for the
District of Columbia; or (3) the personal
representative of a deceased individual

to determine whether claimants are
eligible for compensation from the
Fund, and if so, the amount of
compensation to be awarded. The
Application Form consists of parts
related to eligibility and compensation.
The eligibility parts seek the
information required by the Justice for
United States Victims of State
Sponsored Terrorism Act to determine
whether a claimant is eligible for
payment from the Fund, including
information related to: Participation in
federal lawsuits against a state sponsor
of terrorism under the Foreign
Sovereign Immunities Act; being taken
and held hostage at the U.S. Embassy in
Tehran, Iran, from the period beginning
November 4, 1979, and ending January
20, 1981; or being spouses and children
of such hostages. The compensation
parts seek the information required by
the Justice for United States Victims of
State Sponsored Terrorism Act to
determine the amount of compensation
for which the claimant is eligible.
Specifically, the compensation parts
seek information regarding any
compensation from sources other than
the Fund that the claimant received, is
entitled to receive, or is scheduled to
receive, as a result of the act of
international terrorism by a state
sponsor of terrorism and the amount of
compensatory damages awarded to the
claimant in a final judgment. The
Application Form was revised with
minor formatting changes. There are no
substantive changes in the revised
Application Form, which contains the

same information regarding eligibility
and compensation.

claimant to supplement his or her
application by submitting additional
forms. These additional supplementary
forms include information related to: (1)
An acknowledgment and certification
by applicants and their attorneys
regarding the statutory provision on the
amount of attorneys’ fees; (2) an

a hearing request upon receipt of a
decision denying the claim in whole or
in part; and (7) electronic payment
information.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that 700
respondents may complete the
Application Form. It is estimated that
respondents will complete the paper
form in an average of 2 hours, and the

hours.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden

Statistical Policy Directive No. 4
Addendum: Release and
Dissemination of Statistical Products
Produced by Federal Statistical
Agencies and Recognized Statistical
Units
Executive Office of the
President, Office of Management and
Budget.
ACTION: Notice of Solicitation of
Comments.
AGENCY:
Under the Budget and
Accounting Procedures Act of 1950 (31
U.S.C. 1104 (d)) and the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3504
(e)), the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) issues for comment a
proposed Addendum to Statistical
Policy Directive No. 4: Release and
Dissemination of Statistical Products
Produced by Federal Statistical
Agencies (73 FR 12622, Mar. 7, 2008).
This Addendum reflects the ongoing
commitment of the Federal statistical
system to ensure relevant, accurate,
objective, and accessible Federal
statistics to the Nation.
In its role as coordinator of the
Federal statistical system under the
Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB, among
other responsibilities, is required to
ensure the efficiency and effectiveness
of the system. A key method used by
OMB to achieve this responsibility is
the promulgation and oversight of
Government-wide principles, policies,
standards, and guidelines concerning
the development, presentation, and
dissemination of statistical products.
Accordingly, OMB proposes an
Addendum to strengthen provisions in
its Statistical Policy Directive No. 4. The
Addendum would ensure systematic
review of the production and
dissemination of key statistical products
of Federal statistical agencies and
recognized statistical units and of how
these products conform to the
responsibilities identified in Statistical
Policy Directive No. 1: Fundamental
Responsibilities of Federal Statistical
Agencies and Recognized Statistical
Units (79 FR 71610, Dec. 2, 2014).
Additional discussion of the proposed
Addendum may be found in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
below.
DATES: Comments and
recommendations on the proposed
Addendum detailed in this notice must
be in writing. To ensure consideration
of comments, they must be received no
later than 45 days from the publication
date of this notice. Because of delays in

individuals who were injured as a result of acts of international
terrorism by a state sponsor of terrorism. Under 42 U.S.C. 10609(c), an
eligible claimant is (1) a U.S. person, as defined by 42 U.S.C.
10609(j)(8), with a final judgment issued by a U.S. district court
under state or federal law against a state sponsor of terrorism and
arising from an act of international terrorism, for which the foreign
state was found not immune under provisions of the Foreign Sovereign
Immunities Act, codified at 28 U.S.C. 1605A or 1605(a)(7) (as such
section was in effect on January 27, 2008); (2) a U.S. person, as
defined in 42 U.S.C. 10609(j)(8), who was taken and held hostage from

compensation parts seek the information required by the Justice for
United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to determine the
amount of compensation for which the claimant is eligible.
Specifically, the compensation parts seek information regarding any
compensation from sources other than the Fund that the claimant
received, is entitled to receive, or is scheduled to receive, as a
result of the act of international terrorism by a state sponsor of
terrorism and the amount of compensatory damages awarded to the
claimant in a final judgment. The Application Form was revised with
minor formatting changes. There are no substantive changes in the
