Abstract of proposed collection: 

Foreign Diplomatic Service Application 

Forms DS–4155 and DS–7675 are 

associated with OMB Collection number 

1405–0105. Form DS–4155 (Vendor 

Application for OFM Website Account) 

is the means by which the Department 

of State (DOS) will provide authorized 

vendor access to the Office of Foreign 

Missions’ electronic data submission (eGov) Bonded Warehouse program. This 

application will be used to determine 

eligibility and create a user account 

permitting bonded warehouse 

personnel, on behalf of foreign missions 

authorizing the request, to submit 

electronic bonded warehouse purchases 

(form DS–1504) for OFM clearance. 

OFM’s e-Gov system is accessed to 

submit automated service requests to 

the Office of Foreign Missions and the 

Office of Protocol of the U.S. State 

Department to obtain ‘‘benefits’’ 

designated under the Vienna 

Convention on Diplomatic Relations 

(1961) (VCDR), the Vienna Convention 

on Consular Relations (1963) (VCCR), 

and the Foreign Missions Act, 22 U.S.C. 

4301 et seq., that must be obtained 

through the U.S. Department of State. 

Form DS–7675 is the means by which 

the DOS will maintain current 

emergency contact information on 

senior level officials assigned to foreign 

missions in the diplomatic and consular 

communities in the United States. The 

application requests the primary and 

deputy senior level points of contact 

information for both work and after 

work hours to use to communicate 

essential information in an emergency, 

crisis, or disaster situation. The 

applications provide the Department 

with the necessary information to 

administer its programs effectively and 

efficiently, as well as prepare for an 

emergency event. 

Methodology: These applications/ 

information collections are submitted by 

all foreign missions to the Office of 

Foreign Missions via the following 

methods: electronically, mail, or 

personal delivery.

the rules for operating at high density traffic

Methodology 

More than 95% of the data collection 

uses electronic collection techniques. 

Technology is used in nearly every 

survey in which safety, security, 

programmatic, cultural or political 

concerns are not of sufficient magnitude 

to pose a negative impact on the 

respondent. Survey instruments are 

distributed via web-based or e-mail 

technology in PDF format, allowing the 

respondent to complete the survey and 

return it anytime during the survey 

period. 

Additional Information: None.

Background 

Due to LGA’s limited runway 

capacity, the airport cannot 

accommodate the number of flights that 

airlines and others would like to operate 

without causing significant congestion. 

The FAA has long limited the number 

of arrivals and departures at LGA during 

peak demand periods through the 

implementation of the High Density 

Rule (HDR).1 By statute enacted in April 

2000, the HDR’s applicability to LGA 

operations terminated as of January 1, 

2007.2

In anticipation of the HDR’s 

expiration, the FAA proposed a longterm rule that would limit the number 

of scheduled and unscheduled 

operations at LGA.3 The FAA issued an 

Order on December 27, 2006, adopting 

temporary limits pending the 

completion of the rulemaking.4 This 

Order was amended on November 8, 

2007, and August 19, 2008.5 On October 

10, 2008, the FAA published the 

Congestion Management Rule for 

LaGuardia Airport, which would have 

become effective on December 9, 2008.6

That rule was stayed by the U.S. Court 

of Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit and subsequently rescinded by 

the FAA.7 This Order was further 

extended on October 7, 2009.8

Under the Order, as amended, the 

FAA (1) Maintains the current hourly 

limits on scheduled (75) and 

unscheduled (three) operations at LGA 

during the peak period; (2) imposes an 

80 percent minimum usage requirement 

for Operating Authorizations (OAs) with 

defined exceptions; (3) provides a 

mechanism for withdrawal of OAs for 

FAA operational reasons; (4) provides 

for a lottery to reallocate withdrawn, 

surrendered, or unallocated OAs; and 

(5) allows for trades and leases of OAs 

for consideration for the duration of the 

Order. Without the operational 

limitations imposed by this Order, the 

FAA expects severe congestion-related 

delays would occur at LGA and at other 

airports throughout the National 

Airspace System (NAS). 

The FAA is engaged in a rulemaking 

effort to implement a long-term 

congestion management rule at LGA, 

John F. Kennedy International Airport 

(JFK), and Newark Liberty International 

Airport (EWR). The FAA anticipates 

publishing a notice of proposed 

rulemaking for the Congestion 

Management Rule for LaGuardia 

Airport, John F. Kennedy International 

Airport, and Newark Liberty 

International Airport (RIN 2120–AJ89) 

during the summer of 2011. To prevent 

this Order from expiring prior to a final 

rule becoming effective, the FAA has 

concluded it is necessary to extend the 

expiration date of this Order until the 

final Congestion Management Rule for 

LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy 

International Airport, and Newark 

Liberty International Airport becomes 

effective but not later than October 26, 

2013. This expiration date coincides 

with the expiration dates for the Orders 

limiting scheduled operations at JFK 

and EWR, as also amended by notices in 

today’s Federal Register. 

Therefore, the FAA finds that notice 

and comment procedures under 5 U.S.C. 

section 553(b) are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest. The FAA 

further finds that good cause exists to
