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 (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

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.

information collections are submitted by 

all foreign missions to the Office of 

Foreign Missions via the following

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. Mich. Air-Line Ry.—
