FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You 

may obtain copies of the proposed 

information collection and supporting 

documents from Frank Venson McCoy, 

Bureau of Human Resources, Office of 

Overseas Employment, U.S. Department 

of State, Washington, DC 20520 who 

may be reached on 703–820–5155 or at 

mccoyfv@state.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the Department to: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary to 

properly perform our functions. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

• Minimize the reporting burden on 

those who are to respond. 

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The DS–0174, Application for 

Employment as a Locally Employed 

Staff or Family Member, is needed to 

meet information collection 

requirements for recruitments 

conducted at approximately 170 U.S. 

embassies and consulates throughout 

the world. Current employment 

application forms do not meet the 

unique requirements of Mission 

recruitment (e.g., language skills and 

hiring preferences) under the FS Act of 

1980 and 22 U.S.C. 2669. The DS–0174 

is needed to improve data gathering and 

to clarify interpretation of candidate 

responses. 

Methodology 

Candidates for employment use the 

DS–0174 to apply for Missionadvertised positions throughout the 

world. Mission recruitments generate 

approximately 40,000 applications per 

year. Data that HR and hiring officials 

extract from the DS–0174 determine 

eligibility for employment, 

qualifications for the position, and 

selections according to Federal policies.

developing country. Comments are due 

by Friday, October 16, 2009, and must

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Maldives’ 

GSP eligibility was suspended in 1995 

because, following a review by the 

Trade Policy Staff Committee, it was 

determined that Maldives had not taken 

and was not taking steps to afford 

internationally recognized worker rights 

to workers in Maldives. The review was 

initiated in 1993 in response to a 

petition filed by the AFL–CIO. 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments regarding the 

eligibility of the Republic of Maldives 

for designation as a GSP beneficiary 

developing country. Documents should 

be submitted in accordance with the 

below instructions to be considered in 

this review. 

Eligibility Criteria 

The trade benefits of the GSP program 

are available to any country that the 

President designates as a beneficiary 

developing country for purposes of the 

GSP program. In designating countries 

as beneficiary developing countries, the 

President must consider the criteria in 

sections 502(b) and 502(c) of the Trade 

Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 

2462(b) and 2462(c)) (the ‘‘Act’’).
