Designation and Determination Under
the Foreign Missions Act
Pursuant to the authority vested in the
Secretary of State by the laws of the
United States, including the Foreign
Missions Act, codified at 22 U.S.C.
4301–4316 (the ‘‘Act’’), and delegated
by the Secretary to me as the Under
Secretary of State for Management in
Delegation of Authority No. 198, dated
September 16, 1992, and after due
consideration of the benefits, privileges,
and immunities provided to missions of
the United States abroad, as well as
matters related to the protection of the
interests of the United States, I hereby
under section 202(a)(1) of the Act (22
U.S.C. 4302(a)(1)) designate
employment authorization for
dependents of foreign mission members
in the United States as a benefit for
purposes of section 204 of the Act (22
U.S.C. 4304).
I determine that employment
authorization for dependents of foreign
mission members shall be provided on
such terms and conditions as the Office
of Foreign Missions (OFM) may
approve. Specifically, on the basis of
reciprocity, and following notification
to the foreign mission, OFM may require
payment of a surcharge, or may impose
processing delays, require additional
documentation, or impose other
restrictions or burdens on the foreign
mission and/or applicant.
This action is reasonably necessary on
the basis of reciprocity to protect the
interests of the United States, adjust for
costs and procedures of obtaining
benefits for missions of the United
States abroad, and carry out the policy
set forth in section 201(b) of the Act (22
U.S.C. 4301(b)).

Title: 49 U.S.C. Section 5339—
Alternatives Analysis Program
(OMB Number: 2132–0571)
Background: Under Section 3037 of
the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Act—A Legacy
for Users (SAFETEA–LU), the
Alternatives Analysis Program (49
U.S.C. 5339) provided grants to States,
authorities of the States, metropolitan
planning organizations, and local
government authorities to develop
studies as part of the transportation
planning process. The purpose of the
Alternatives Analysis Program was to
assist in financing the evaluation of all
reasonable modal and multimodal
alternatives and general alignment
options for identified transportation
needs in a particular, a broadly defined
travel corridor. The transportation
planning process of Alternatives
Analysis included an assessment of a
wide range of public transportation or
multimodal alternatives, which
addressed transportation problems
within a corridor or subarea; provided
ample information that enabled the
Secretary to make the findings of project
justification and local financial
commitment; supported the selection of
a locally preferred alternative; and
enabled the local Metropolitan Planning
Organization to adopt the locally
preferred alternative as part of the longrange transportation plan. The
Alternative Analysis Program was
repealed by Congress under the Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP–21). However, funds
previously authorized for programs
repealed by MAP–21 remain available
for their originally authorized purposes
