Clearance of Collections of Information Through the Office of Management and Budget

Resumo

In order to extend privileges and immunities under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961 and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963 and to issue official identification cards, the Department of State must obtain information from foreign government representatives concerning the appointment and termination of assignment of diplomatic and career and honorary consular officers, foreign government employees and their dependents in the United States. In 1990, the Department of State revised the forms which it previously had used to collect this information. As the expiration date on these documents is about to take effect, the Department is seeking an extension of its ongoing collections of this information. As part of this process, the Department already has solicited the comments of the providers of this information, the foreign embassies in Washington and has incorporated changes based upon their comments, as well as suggestions provided by Department of State personnel.
