Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Secretary of State may exercise
authority, under 22 U.S.C. 211a,
Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966),
and 22 CFR 51.63, to invalidate all U.S.
passports for travel to a country or area
if he determines that any of three
conditions exist: The country is at war
with the United States; armed hostilities
are in progress in the country or area;
or there is imminent danger to the
public health or physical safety of U.S.
travelers in the country or area. The
regulations of the Department of State
provide that an individual’s passport
may be considered for validation for
travel to, in, or through a country or area
despite such restriction if the
individual’s travel is determined to fall
within one of several categories
established by the regulations. 22 CFR
51.64. Without the requisite validation,
use of a U.S. passport for travel to, in,
or through a restricted country or area
may justify revocation of the passport
for misuse under 22 CFR 51.62(a)(2) and
subject the traveler to felony
prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1544 for
misuse of a passport or other applicable
laws.
The categories of persons specified in
22 CFR 51.64(b) as being eligible for
consideration for passport validation are
as follows:
(a) An applicant who is a professional
reporter and journalist whose trip is for
the purpose of collecting and making
available to the public information
about the restricted country or area;
(b) An applicant who is a
representative of the American Red
Cross or the International Committee of
the Red Cross on an officially sponsored
Red Cross mission;
(c) An applicant whose trip to the
restricted country or area is justified by
compelling humanitarian
considerations; or
(d) An applicant whose trip to the
restricted country or area is otherwise in
the national interest.
The proposed information collection
solicits data necessary for the Passport
Services Directorate to determine
whether an applicant is eligible to
receive a special validation in his or her
U.S. passport book permitting the
applicant to make one round-trip to a
restricted country or area. The
information requested consists of the
applicant’s name; a copy of the front
and back of the applicant’s valid
government-issued photo identification
card with the applicant’s date of birth
and signature; current contact
information, including telephone
number and mailing address; and a
statement explaining the reason that the
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
8315
applicant thinks his or her trip is in the
national interest, supported by
documentary evidence. Failure to
provide the requested information may
result in denial of a special validation
to use a U.S. passport to travel to, in, or
through a restricted country or area.
Effective September 1, 2017, upon
determining that there is imminent
danger to the public health or physical
safety of U.S. travelers in the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
(DPRK), the Secretary of State imposed
a passport restriction with respect to
travel to the DPRK. The estimated
number of recipients represents the
Department of State’s estimate of the
annual number of special validation
requests individuals who wish to use
their U.S. passport to travel to the DPRK
will submit, based on the current
number of requests following the
implementation of the Secretary of
State’s passport restriction. At this time,
there are no other countries or areas that
are the subject of passport restrictions
pursuant to 22 CFR 51.63.
Methodology
Instructions for individuals seeking to
apply for a special validation to use a
U.S. passport to travel to, in, or through
a restricted country or area is posted on
a web page maintained by the
Department (travel.state.gov). The web
page directs applicants to submit the
requested information via email to the
Passport Services Directorate
(PPTSpecialValidations@state.gov) or by
mail to Special Validations, U.S.
Department of State, CA/PPT/L/LA,
44132 Mercure Circle, P.O. Box 1227,
Sterling, VA 20166–1227.
Information collected in this manner
will be used to facilitate the granting of
special validations to U.S. nationals
who are eligible. The primary purpose
of soliciting the information is to
establish whether an applicant is within
one of the categories specified in the
regulations of the Department of State
codified at 22 CFR 51.64(b) and
therefore eligible to be issued a U.S.
passport containing a special validation
enabling him or her to make one roundtrip to a restricted country or area, and
to facilitate the application for a
passport of such applicants.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport

Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Secretary of State may exercise authority, under 22 U.S.C.
211a, Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966), and 22 CFR 51.63, to
invalidate all U.S. passports for travel to a country or area if he
determines that any of three conditions exist: The country is at war
with the United States; armed hostilities are in progress in the
country or area; or there is imminent danger to the public health or
physical safety of U.S. travelers in the country or area. The
regulations of the Department of State provide that an individual's
passport may be considered for validation for travel to, in, or through
a country or area despite such restriction if the individual's travel
is determined to fall within one of several categories established by
the regulations. 22 CFR 51.64. Without the requisite validation, use of
a U.S. passport for travel to, in, or through a restricted country or
area may justify revocation of the passport for misuse under 22 CFR
51.62(a)(2) and subject the traveler to felony prosecution under 18
U.S.C. 1544 for misuse of a passport or other applicable laws.
The categories of persons specified in 22 CFR 51.64(b) as being
eligible for consideration for passport validation are as follows:
(a) An applicant who is a professional reporter and journalist
whose trip is for the purpose of collecting and making available to the
public information about the restricted country or area;
(b) An applicant who is a representative of the American Red Cross
or the International Committee of the Red Cross on an officially
sponsored Red Cross mission;
(c) An applicant whose trip to the restricted country or area is
justified by compelling humanitarian considerations; or
(d) An applicant whose trip to the restricted country or area is
otherwise in the national interest.
The proposed information collection solicits data necessary for the
Passport Services Directorate to determine whether an applicant is
eligible to receive a special validation in his or her U.S. passport
book permitting the applicant to make one round-trip to a restricted
country or area. The information requested consists of the applicant's
name; a copy of the front and back of the applicant's valid government-
issued photo identification card with the applicant's date of birth and
signature; current contact information, including telephone number and
mailing address; and a statement explaining the reason that the
applicant thinks his or her trip is in the national interest, supported
by documentary evidence. Failure to provide the requested information
may result in denial of a special validation to use a U.S. passport to
travel to, in, or through a restricted country or area.
Effective September 1, 2017, upon determining that there is
imminent danger to the public health or physical safety of U.S.
travelers in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the
Secretary of State imposed a passport restriction with respect to
travel to the DPRK. The estimated number of recipients represents the
Department of State's estimate of the annual number of special
validation requests individuals who wish to use their U.S. passport to
travel to the DPRK will submit, based on the current number of requests
following the implementation of the Secretary of State's passport
restriction. At this time, there are no other countries or areas that
are the subject of passport restrictions pursuant to 22 CFR 51.63.
Methodology
Instructions for individuals seeking to apply for a special
validation to use a U.S. passport to travel to, in, or through a
restricted country or area is posted on a web page maintained by the
Department (travel.state.gov). The web page directs applicants to
submit the requested information via email to the Passport Services
Directorate ([email protected]) or by mail to Special
Validations, U.S. Department of State, CA/PPT/L/LA, 44132 Mercure
Circle, P.O. Box 1227, Sterling, VA 20166-1227.
Information collected in this manner will be used to facilitate the
granting of special validations to U.S. nationals who are eligible. The
primary purpose of soliciting the information is to establish whether
an applicant is within one of the categories specified in the
regulations of the Department of State codified at 22 CFR 51.64(b) and
therefore eligible to be issued a U.S. passport containing a special
validation enabling him or her to make one round-trip to a restricted
country or area, and to facilitate the application for a passport of
such applicants.
