Abstract of Proposed Collections
• 1405–0132, DS–10, Birth Affidavit:
The form is submitted in conjunction
with an application for a U.S. passport
and is used by Passport Services to
collect information for the purpose of
establishing the U.S. nationality of a
passport applicant who has not
submitted an acceptable United States
birth certificate with their passport
application. 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).
Pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 212 and 22 CFR
51.2, only U.S. nationals may be issued
a U.S. passport. Most passport
applicants establish U.S. nationality by
providing a birth certificate that lists a
place of birth within the United States
or its outlying possessions (currently
American Samoa and Swains Island).
Some applicants, however, may have
been born in the United States (and
subject to its jurisdiction), but were
never issued a birth certificate. Form
DS–10 is a form affidavit for completion
by a witness to the birth of such an
applicant; it collects information
relevant to establishing the identity of
the affiant, and the birth circumstances
of the passport applicant. If credible, the
affidavit may permit the applicant to
show U.S. nationality based on the
applicant’s birth in the United States,
despite never having been issued a U.S.
birth certificate. We use the information
collected on the person completing the

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 206 / Thursday, October 26, 2023 / Notices

affidavit to confirm that individual’s
identity, which is relevant to confirming
his or her relationship to the applicant
and in assessing the likelihood that the
affiant has personal knowledge of the
facts of the applicant’s birth.
In an ongoing effort to reduce public
burden times, the ‘‘Sex’’ field
(previously Item 2) has been removed
from the DS–10, Birth Affidavit.
Passport Services determined that this
decision will not affect the procedural
or policy aspects of DS–10 form
adjudication or impact the
determination of U.S. citizenship
findings by passport adjudicators.
• 1405–0133, DS–60, Affidavit
Regarding a Change of Name: The form
is submitted in conjunction with an
application for a U.S. passport. It is used
by Passport Services to collect
information for the purpose of
establishing that a passport applicant
has adopted a new name without formal
court proceedings or by marriage and
has publicly and exclusively used the
adopted name over a period of time (at
least five years).
• 1405–0146, DS–86, Statement of
Non-Receipt of a U.S. Passport: The
form is used by the U.S. Department of
State to collect information for the
purpose of issuing a replacement
passport to customers whose passports
have been issued but who have not
received their passport documents in
the mail. The information collected on
the Statement of Non-Receipt of a U.S.
Passport is used by the Department of
State to help ensure that no person bears
more than one valid or potentially valid
U.S. passport book of the same type
and/or passport card at any one time,
except as authorized by the Department.
The information on the form is also
used to address passport fraud and
misuse.
All three forms have been amended to
replace the term ‘‘sex’’ with ‘‘gender’’
and to be pronoun-inclusive of all
genders.
Methodology
When needed, the Birth Affidavit is
either provided by the Department or
downloaded from the Department’s
website and completed by the affiant. It
must be signed in the presence of a
passport agent, acceptance agent, or
notary.
When needed, the Affidavit Regarding
a Change of Name is either provided by
the Department or downloaded from the
Department’s website and completed by
the affiant. It must be signed in the
presence of a passport agent, passport
acceptance agent, or notary.
When needed, the Statement of NonReceipt of a U.S. Passport is either

Federal law that authorizes judicial
review of a claim provides a time period
of less than 150 days for filing such
claim, then that shorter time period still
applies.

and a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) dated May 26, 2022, and
executed by FHWA and UDOT. Actions
taken by UDOT on FHWA’s behalf
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 constitute

UDOT has taken final agency actions
subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing
licenses, permits, and/or approvals for

improve operations of the I–15 Bluff

Boulevard (Milepost 8) interchanges;
improve access from I–15 to regional
destinations in St. George City; and
improve mobility options for a broad
range of users, including pedestrians

would construct: a new SPUI
interchange on I–15 at 700 South;
roadway improvements along 700 South

new 12-foot-wide shared-use trail.
The project is identified in UDOT’s
