SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    We are soliciting public comments to permit the Department to:
    <bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is 
necessary to properly perform our functions.
    <bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used.
    <bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected.
    <bullet> Minimize the reporting burden on those who are to respond.
    Abstract of proposed collection: The Statement of Non-Receipt of a 
Passport, Form DS-0086, is used by Consular Officers, Passport 
Specialists, and Acceptance Agents to collect information for the 
purpose of issuing a second passport to customers who have not received 
the passport for which they originally applied.
    The information is used by the Department of State to ensure that 
no person shall bear more than one valid or potentially valid U.S. 
passport book and U.S. passport card at any one time, except as 
authorized by the Department, and also aids in combating passport fraud 
and misuse.
    Methodology: Passport applicants who do not receive their passports 
are required to complete a Statement of Non-Receipt of a Passport, Form 
DS-0086. Passport applicants can either download the form from the 
Internet or pick one up from an Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency. 
The form must be completed, signed, and then submitted to the 
Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency for passport re-issuance.
