Department of State as the U.S. Central
Authority for the 1993 Hague
Convention on Protection of Children
and Co-operation in Respect of
Intercountry Adoption (Senate Treaty
Doc. 105–51, 105th Cong., 2d Sess.).
Some Central Authority duties are
explicitly assigned to other entities,
including the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS). The IAA confers on the
Department the authority and
responsibility for establishing and
overseeing the system for accreditation/
approval and monitoring and oversight
of accredited agencies and approved
persons (hereinafter referred to as
adoption service providers (ASPs)).
Rather than mandating the Department
to directly accredit/approve ASPs, the
IAA directs the Department to select
and designate one or more AEs to carry
out those functions.
Designated AEs responsibilities are
discussed in 22 CFR 96.7 and may be
further established by agreement with
the Department of State. The federal
regulations governing intercountry
adoption and the accreditation of
agencies and approval of persons can be
found at 22 CFR 96, with Subpart B
focusing on the selection, designation,
and duties of AEs.
This opportunity is extended to
nonprofit organizations with expertise
in developing and administering
standards for entities providing child
welfare services and to U.S. State or
local government public entities with
such expertise and responsibility for
licensing adoption agencies, per 22 CFR
96.5. If selected, a State or local
government public entity may only
accredit/approve agencies and persons
within the public entity’s State. Federal
government entities are not eligible to
apply. Newly established nonprofit
organizations may apply provided they
meet the criteria for IRS Code 501(c)(3)
status and can demonstrate that they
have the required expertise, as
discussed in 22 CFR 96.5, either as an
entity or within their staffing.
Under 22 CFR 96.4, the Department is
authorized to designate one or more
entities to perform AE functions. The
Department currently works with one
designated AE that is responsible for
accreditation/approval of agencies and
persons throughout the United States.
The number of AEs selected through the
upcoming RSI process will depend on
the qualifications of the applicants and
the Department’s determination

Overseas Security Advisory Council
(OSAC) Renewal
The Department of State has renewed
the Charter of the Overseas Security
Advisory Council. This federal advisory
committee will continue to interact on
overseas security matters of mutual
interest between the U.S. Government
and the American private sector. The
Council’s initiatives and security
publications provide a unique
contribution to protecting American
private sector interests abroad. The
Under Secretary for Management
determined that renewal of the Charter
is necessary and in the public interest.
The Council consists of
representatives from three (3) U.S.
Government agencies and thirty-one
(31) American private sector companies
and organizations. The Council follows
the procedures prescribed by the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (Pub. L. 92–463). Meetings will
be open to the public unless a
determination is made in accordance
with Section 10(d) of the FACA and 5
U.S.C. 552b, that a meeting or a portion
of the meeting should be closed to the
public. Notice of each meeting will be
provided in the Federal Register at least
15 days prior to the meeting.
