Abstract of proposed collection: The DS–11 solicits data necessary for Passport Services to issue a United States passport (book and/or card format) in the exercise of authorities granted to the Secretary of State in 22 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 211a et seq. and Executive Order (E.O.) 11295 (August 5, 1966) for the issuance of passports to U.S. nationals.

The issuance of U.S. passports requires the determination of identity, nationality, and entitlement with reference to the provisions of Title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. sections 1401–1504), the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, other applicable treaties and laws, and implementing regulations at 22 CFR parts 50 and 51. The specific regulations pertaining to the Application for a U.S. Passport are at 22 CFR 51.20 through 51.28.

Methodology: The information collected on the DS–11 is used to facilitate the issuance of passports to U.S. citizens and nationals. The primary purpose of soliciting the information is to establish citizenship, identity, and entitlement to the issuance of the U.S. passport or related service, and to properly administer and enforce the laws pertaining to the issuance thereof.

Passport Services collects information from U.S. citizens and non-citizen nationals when they complete and submit the Application for a U.S. Passport. Passport applicants can either download the DS–11 from the internet or obtain one from an Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency. The form must be completed and executed at an acceptance facility or passport agency, and submitted with evidence of citizenship and identity.

Additional Information: In addition to general format changes, the following content changes have been made to the form:

• Page 1 Instructions—The following heading and section were moved from page 3 to page 1 and have been revised to now read:

Æ LOST OR STOLEN—You are required to submit a Form DS–64, Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Passport, when your valid or potentially valid U.S. Passport book or U.S. Passport card cannot be submitted with this application.

Æ IN MY POSSESSION—If your most recent passport book and/or passport card was issued less than 15 years ago and you were over the age of 16 at the time of issuance, you may be eligible to use Form DS–82 to renew your passport by mail. If your most recent passport is valid and needs additional pages, you can submit your passport, form DS– 4085 and the current fee.

• Page 2 Instructions—Under the heading ‘‘1. Proof of Citizenship’’, first section, the word ‘‘Country’’ in the last sentence has been replaced with the word ‘‘county’’. • Page 3 Instructions—Under the heading ‘‘Protect Yourself Against Identity Theft! * * *’’, the statement, ‘‘For more information or to report * * *’’ has been revised to now read ‘‘For more information regarding reporting a lost or stolen U.S. passport book or passport card and the Form DS– 64, your eligibility to submit a Form DS–82 or how to request additional visa pages, call NPIC at 1–877–487–2778 or visit travel.state.gov’’.

• Page 3 Instructions—At the bottom of the page, added a new heading and section: ‘‘Special Notice to U.S. Passport Card Applicants Only’’, regarding the 24 character name limit.

• Page 1 Form—In the photo box, the words ‘‘Attach a recent color photograph’’ have been replaced with ‘‘Attach a color photograph taken within the last six months’’.

• Page 2 Form—Line Item 14 ‘‘Travel Plans’’ has been renumbered as Line Item 18. Also, the words ‘‘Date of Trip’’ have been replaced with ‘‘Departure Date’’, and the words ‘‘Duration of Trip’’ have been replaced with ‘‘Return Date’’.

• Page 2 Form—Line Item 18 ‘‘Permanent Address’’ has been renumbered as Line Item 19.

• Page 2 Form, under the heading, ‘‘PLEASE DO NOT WRITE BELOW THIS LINE—FOR ISSUING OFFICE ONLY’’, the following changes have occurred:

Æ Beside ‘‘Report of Birth’’, the numbers ‘‘240’’, ‘‘545’’, and ‘‘1350’’ have been deleted.

Æ The ‘‘DS–60’’ checkbox has been replaced with ‘‘IRL’’.

Abstract of Proposed Collection

Under 22 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 211a et seq. and Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966), the Secretary of State has authority to issueU.S. passports to U.S. citizens and noncitizen nationals. When the bearer of a valid U.S. passport applies for the addition of visa pages to that passport, the Department must confirm the applicant’s identity and eligibility to receive passport services before the Department can return the passport to the applicant with additional visa pages. Form DS–4085 requests information that is necessary to determine whether the applicant is eligible to receive passport services in accordance with the requirements of Title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (U.S.C. sections 1402–1504), the regulations at 22 CFR parts 50 and 51, and other applicable authorities. Methodology

Passport Services collects information from U.S. citizens and non-citizen nationals when they complete and submit the Application for Additional Visa Pages or Miscellaneous Passport Services. Passport applicants can either download the DS–4085 from the internet or obtain one from an Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency. The form must be completed, signed, and submitted along with the applicant’s valid U.S. passport.

Additional Information

In addition to general format changes, the following content changes have been made to the form.

• Page 1 Form—Under Line Item 15, Travel Plans: The words ‘‘Date of Trip’’ have been replaced with ‘‘Departure Date’’ and the words ‘‘Duration of Trip’’ have been replaced with ‘‘Return Date’’.

• Page 1 Form—In the first signature block, ‘‘Applicant’s Signature—age 16 and older’’, the word ‘‘Legal’’ has been added before ‘‘Signature’’.

• Page 1 Form—The second signature block ‘‘Parent’s/Legal Guardian’s Signature (if identifying minor)’’ has been revised to now read ‘‘Mother/ Father/Parent/Legal Guardian’s Signature (if identifying minor)’’.

The Department estimates that these changes will not result in an increase in the current burden time of 20 minutes.

Dated: March 19, 2013. Brenda S. Sprague, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport Services, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Department of State.
