Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Secretary of State is authorized to
issue U.S. passports under 22 U.S.C.
211a et seq., 8 U.S.C. 1104, and
Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966).
Department regulations provide that
individuals whose valid or potentially
valid U.S. passports were lost or stolen
must report the lost or stolen passport
to the Department of State before
receiving a new passport so that the lost
or stolen passport can be invalidated (22
CFR parts 50 and 51). The Enhanced
Border Security and Visa Entry Reform
Act of 2002 (8 U.S.C. 1737) requires the
Department of State to collect accurate
information on lost or stolen U.S.
passports and to enter that information
into a data system. Form DS–64 collects
information identifying the person who
held the valid lost or stolen passport
and describing the circumstances under
which the passport was lost or stolen.
As required by the cited authorities, we
use the information collected to
accurately identify the passport that
must be invalidated and to make a
record of the circumstances surrounding
the lost or stolen passport.
Methodology
Passport bearers may submit their
form electronically on
www.travel.state.gov or call the National
Passport Information Center at 1–877–
487–2778. A person may also download
the form from the internet or obtain one
at any passport agency or acceptance
facility.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption
Applications; Vision
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of final disposition.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces its
decision to exempt eight individuals
from the vision requirement in the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs) to operate a
commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in
interstate commerce. They are unable to
meet the vision requirement in one eye
for various reasons. The exemptions
enable these individuals to operate
CMVs in interstate commerce without
meeting the vision requirement in one
eye.
SUMMARY:
The Electronic Application for
Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration
(DS–260) is used to collect biographical
information from individuals seeking an
immigrant visa. This information
collection is the Department’s main
immigrant visa application form and is
used by most immigrant visa applicants.
The Application for Immigrant Visa
and Alien Registration (DS–230) is
primarily used to collect biographical
information from individuals seeking
VerDate Sep<11>2014
for Cuban Family Reunification Parole.
While this discretionary parole
authority is exercised by the Department
of Homeland Security, an applicant
must demonstrate that he or she is
eligible for an immigrant visa.
In rare circumstances, an applicant for
an immigrant visa may complete the
DS–230 in lieu of the online version of
the application, the DS–260. Consular
officers use the information collected by
both versions of the form to elicit
information necessary to determine an
applicant’s immigrant visa eligibility.

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c),
DOT solicits comments from the public
to better inform its regulatory process.
DOT posts these comments, without
edit, including any personal information
the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL–

II. Background
On July 19, 2021, FMCSA published
a notice announcing receipt of
applications from eight individuals
requesting an exemption from vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10)
and requested comments from the
public (86 FR 38180). The public
comment period ended on August 18,
2021, and three comments were
received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of these applicants and determined that
granting the exemptions to these
individuals would achieve a level of
safety equivalent to, or greater than, the
