The Department of State has submitted the information collection request described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the emergency review procedures of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The purpose of this notice is to allow for public comment from all interested individuals and organizations. Emergency review and approval of this collection has been requested from OMB by 30 days from submission. If granted, the emergency approval is only valid for 180 days.

The Department of State (DOS) is adopting as final an interim rule amending the Department of State Acquisition Regulation (DOSAR) to provide new guidance prescribing more stringent safety requirements for certain overseas construction and services projects.

Notice is hereby given of the following determinations: I hereby determine that one object being imported from abroad pursuant to an agreement with its foreign owner or custodian for temporary display in the exhibition ``Of Gods and Glamour'' at the Art Institute of Chicago, in Chicago, Illinois, and at possible additional exhibitions or venues yet to be determined, is of cultural significance, and, further, that its temporary exhibition or display within the United States as aforementioned is in the national interest. I have ordered that Public Notice of these determinations be published in the Federal Register.

Notice is hereby given of the following determinations: I hereby determine that certain objects being imported from abroad pursuant to an agreement with their foreign owner or custodian for temporary display in the exhibition ``Paintings, Politics and the Monuments Men: The Berlin Masterpieces in America'' at the Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati, Ohio, and at possible additional exhibitions or venues yet to be determined, are of cultural significance, and, further, that their temporary exhibition or display within the United States as aforementioned is in the national interest.

Notice is hereby given of the following determinations: I hereby determine that certain objects being imported from abroad pursuant to agreements with their foreign owner or custodian for temporary display in the exhibition ``Magna Carta: Tyranny. Justice. Liberty.'' at the Museum of the Bible, Washington, District of Columbia, and at possible additional exhibitions or venues yet to be determined, are of cultural significance, and, further, that their temporary exhibition or display within the United States as aforementioned is in the national interest.

This rule adopts as final the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published in the Federal Register on October 16, 2020. This final rule adjusts the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services (Schedule of Fees) by incorporating the fee for authentication of a document in the United States into the Schedule of Fees and increasing it from $8 to $20.

The Department of State amends the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services (Schedule) for visa fees. More specifically, the rule amends the Border Crossing Card fee paid by a Mexican citizen under age 15 whose parent or guardian has or is applying for a border crossing card (the ``reduced Border Crossing Card fee''). The Department is decreasing this fee in light of the expiration of the authority provided by the Emergency Afghan Allies Extension Act of 2014, which imposed a temporary $1 surcharge on the fees for Machine Readable Visa (MRV) and Border Crossing Card (BCC) application processing, to be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury. This provision required the Department of State to start collecting this surcharge on January 1, 2015, and it expired five and a half years after the first date on which the surcharge was collected, on June 30, 2020. The Department must reduce the reduced Border Crossing Card fee by $1, for a total fee of $15, to continue to collect the legislatively required fee amount of $13 and all remaining applicable surcharges.
