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 (e-Gov) 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.

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.

1 In a decision served on May 18, 2011, the Board denied a previous petition submitted by MAL Railway to abandon the line at issue. The Board denied the petition because MAL Railway did not provide the Board with sufficient evidence regarding the revenues and costs associated with the line, thereby making it impossible to determine what burden, if any, MAL Railway incurred in continuing to operate the line.
