by a state sponsor of terrorism. Under
the Justice for United States Victims of
State Sponsored Terrorism Act (Act), 34
U.S.C. 20144(c), as amended, an eligible
claimant is (1) a U.S. person, as defined
in 34 U.S.C. 20144(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,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:32 Sep 21, 2022
Jkt 256001
2008); (2) a U.S. person, as defined in
34 U.S.C. 20144(j)(8), who was taken
and held hostage from the United States
Embassy in Tehran, Iran, during the
period beginning November 4, 1979,
and ending January 20, 1981; or the
spouse and child of that U.S. person at
that time, who is also identified as a
member of the proposed class in case
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
in either of those two categories.
The information collected from the
USVSST Fund’s Application Form will
be used to determine whether
applicants are eligible for compensation
from the USVSST 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 Act to
determine whether a claimant is eligible
for payment from the USVSST Fund,
including information related to
participation in federal lawsuits against
a state sponsor of terrorism under the
Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. The
compensation parts seek the
information required by the Justice for
United States Victims of State
Sponsored Terrorism Act, as amended,
to determine the amount of
compensation for which the claimant is
eligible. Specifically, the compensation
parts seek information regarding the
amount of compensatory damages
awarded the claimant in a final
judgment as well as any payments from
sources other than the USVSST Fund, as
defined in 34 U.S.C. 20144(j)(6), 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. The
Application Form was revised with
formatting changes and removal of
certain information requests to
minimize respondents’ collection
burden. There are changes in the revised
Application Form, but it contains the
same information regarding eligibility
and compensation.
The USVSST Fund may require an
eligible 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
authorization for the USVSST Fund to
communicate with individuals
identified by an applicant regarding his
or her claim; (3) a certification of the
personal representative of a deceased

award for the decedent’s estate; (4) a
claimant’s decision to change an
attorney or representative; (5) a hearing
request upon receipt of a decision
denying the claim in whole or in part;
and (6) electronic payment information.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time

respondents may complete the

respondents will complete the paper
form or the electronic form in an

collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 875

District Court for the District of Puerto
Rico in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. TotalEnergies Marketing Puerto
Rico Corporation, Civil Action No. 3:22–
