Title: National Security Information Regulations

Abstract: The Department of State proposes to revise its regulations governing the classification of national security

information that is under the control of the Department in order to reflect the provisions of a new executive order on national

security information, Executive Order 13526 and its implementing directive found at 32 CFR 2001. The Department is also

proposing to make changes in the Department's procedures, since the last revision of the Department's regulations was in June

2007 (72 FR 30972). These changes may include some changes in the classification categories, in the rules governing the

sharing of other-agency classified information, and in granting access to certain former government personnel.

Title: Amendments to Code of Federal Regulations (Freedom of Information)

Abstract: The Department of State is revising its regulations governing the availability to the public of information under the

control of the Department, to bring the regulations in line with several changes in the law, regulations, and executive orders. The

proposed rule will make a significant change in the content of 22 CFR part 171. The former subpart C of part 171, pertaining to

declassification of national security information and access to classified information by historical researchers and certain former

government personnel is being removed from part 171 and incorporated into 22 CFR part 9, which deals with national security

information. See related RIN 1400-AC75.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Defense Services

Abstract: As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State proposes to amend the International

Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update the policy regarding defense services, to clarify the scope of activities that are

considered a defense service, and to provide definitions of "Organizational-Level Maintenance," "Intermediate-Level

Maintenance," and "Depot-Level Maintenance," and to make other conforming changes. The Department reviewed the ITAR's

treatment of defense services with a view to improving efficiency in licensing, and reducing unintended consequences. As a

result, it was determined that the current definition of defense services was overly broad, capturing certain forms of assistance

or services that do not warrant ITAR control. Services based solely upon the use of public domain data would not constitute

defense services under this part of the definition and, therefore, would not require a license, technical assistance agreement, or

manufacturing license agreement to provide to a foreign person. The proposed new definition of defense service also includes a

new provision that would control the "integration" of items, whether controlled by the U.S. Munitions List (USML) or the

Commerce Control List (CCL), into USML controlled defense articles even if controlled "technical data" is not provided to a

foreign person during the provision of such services. Additionally, the proposed rule proposed to specify that training for foreign

"units or forces" will be considered a defense service only if the training involves the employment of a defense article,

regardless of whether technical data is involved. Also, the proposed rule specifies examples of activities that do not constitute

defense services.

Title: Exchange Visitor Program--Au Pairs

Abstract: The Department is proposing to amend existing Exchange Visitor Program regulations to provide more flexibility for

au pairs to meet the required educational component of their exchange programs. This proposed rule also increases the limit on

the amount of the contribution that host families must provide au pairs toward the cost of completing the required educational

component, while significantly expanding the options available to au pairs to meet this requirement. In addition to the proposed

changes in the educational component, the Department is proposing language that clarifies the intent of some existing

regulatory requirements and requires the development of organizational specific statements of policy.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Exports Made By or For a United States Government

Department or Agency

Abstract: As part of the President's Export Control reform effort, the Department of State is proposing to amend the

International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update and clarify its policy related to exports made by or for a United States

Government Department or Agency. The Department determined that the current rules did not adequately explain the situations

in which the Department could use the exemption. The proposed rule now clearly distinguishes between temporary imports and

exports made by a U.S. Government department or agency and temporary imports and exports made for or on behalf of a U.S.

Government department or agency. Additionally, the Department has added provisions to clarify for exporters the types of

exports made for or on behalf of a U.S. Government department or agency that are covered by the exemption.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Revision of U.S. Munitions List Category XIV

Abstract: As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State proposes to amend the International

Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to revise Category XIV (toxicological agents, including chemical agents, biological agents,

and associated equipment) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML) to describe more precisely the materials warranting control on the

USML. This proposed rule revises USML Category XIV to establish a clear distinction between the USML and the Commerce

Control List (CCL) for the control of these articles. The most significant change proposed in this rule is the movement of riot

control agents to the export jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce. Other items, previously controlled on the USML, will

also be controlled on the CCL.

Title: Exchange Visitor Program--Summer Work Travel

Abstract: The Department of State (Department) published an initial interim final rule with request for comment on April 26,

2011 (2011 IFR) to amend the regulatory requirements of the Summer Work Travel category of the Exchange Visitor Program.

In a second interim final rule (2012 IFR) published May 11, 2012, the Department expanded upon and provided guidance on

additional regulatory changes and bolstered portions of the regulations to both further protect the health, safety, and welfare of

Summer Work Travel (SWT) Program participants and to reinforce the cultural exchange aspects of the SWT Program to

promote mutual understanding in accordance with the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961. The 2012 IFR

further reinforces the cultural exchange aspect of the SWT Program through the addition of a cultural component, and provides

additional protection to Program participants by describing types of job placements that are appropriate and by expanding the

list of jobs prohibited under the SWT Program. The Department has reviewed the comments submitted in response to the 2011

IFR and the 2012 IFR, and plans to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking with a minimum of 60 days for public comment to

reflect comments received from both rulemakings and further protect the health, safety and welfare of participants by specifically

requesting comments on greater protections for participants, restrictions on eligible participation in the SWT Program, and some

additional requirements and restrictions on sponsors of the SWT Program.

Title: Visas: Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended

Abstract: This regulation revises an existing regulation to comply with a court decision requiring joint action between DHS and

the Department of State. The amended provisions permit a waiver of the visa and passport requirement for individuals traveling

without them due to unforeseen or emergency circumstances. By clarifying the shared role of the Department of State and the

Department of Homeland Security in implementing the rule, the Department hopes to make business practices more predicable

for industry.

Title: Exchange Visitor Program--General Provisions

Abstract: The Department of State is proposing to amend the General Provisions (subpart A) of the existing Exchange Visitor

Program regulations. This section of the regulations establishes the procedures for designated Program sponsors and

addresses overall Program administration. It provides the overall context in which to interpret all other provisions of the

Exchange Visitor Program regulations. The General Provisions have not been revised in whole in over 15 years, despite

modifications of many of the category-specific regulations and changes in technology. The proposed regulations encompass

technical changes to the General Provisions and address public diplomacy and foreign policy concerns, including the

Department's ability to monitor Program sponsors and to ensure the safety and well-being of foreign nationals who come to the

United States as Program participants. The amendment of this section incorporates changes made to the regulations since the

last update in 1993. It ties all regulatory requirements together and consolidates the requirements set forth in the SEVIS

reporting requirements regulations into the General Provisions. This rule also proposes new requirements regarding applications

for designation and redesignation, a change in the required amount of health insurance coverage, the identification of an

Employer Identification Number (EIN) and Dun & Bradstreet numbers by sponsors and third-party entities, the collection of

employment authorization information and validation of the SEVIS record on an exchange visitor's accompanying spouse and

dependents, criminal background checks on all Responsible Officers and Alternate Responsible Officers, and the

implementation of management audits across EVP categories.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Incorporated Articles

Abstract: As a part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State proposes to amend the ITAR to

reflect new policies regarding coverage of incorporated articles. The Department's review of current ITAR treatment of

incorporated articles led to the proposed change with a view to limit ITAR coverage to where diversion of the embedded

defense article is a realistic and practical concern. To this end, the rulemaking proposes conditions under which a DDTC license

is not required for the export or re-export of defense articles incorporated into an end-item that is "subject to the Export

Administration Regulations (EAR)." Those conditions include where the end-item would be "rendered inoperable" by the removal

of the defense article, where no technical data for development or production are transferred with the defense article, and where

the incorporation of the defense article does not provide (or is not related to) a military application. Additionally, no license would

be required for the export or re-export of a defense article when that article would be rendered inoperable by removal from the

end-item. A license would be required for the export of defense articles that are spare or replacement parts when they are

embedded into a larger assembly such that they can be removed without destroying the defense articles.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Replacement Parts/Components

Abstract: As part of the President's Export Reform initiative, the Department of State is proposing to amend the International

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Revision of U.S. Munitions List Category V

Abstract: As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State amends the International Traffic in

constituents) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML), by establishing a clear distinction between the USML and the Commerce

Control List (CCL) for the control of these articles. One major change to this category involves removal of broad catchalls, with

the listing of specific materials that warrant ITAR control caught by current catchalls. For example, Category V, paragraph

(a)(35) as currently written, broadly controls, "Any other explosive not elsewhere identified in this category specifically designed,

modified, adapted, or configured (e.g., formulated) for military application." This rulemaking removes this "catchall." Another

major change to this category involves addressing U.S. obligations to multinational regimes.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Revision of U.S. Munitions List Category XVI

Abstract: As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State amends the International Traffic in

Arms Regulations (ITAR) to remove Category XVI (nuclear weapons, design and testing related items), to reflect that the

provisions of this subchapter of the ITAR do not apply to equipment, technical data, or services under the export control of the

Department of Energy or the Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978, as amended, or to a government transfer authorized by those Acts.

Title: Visas: Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended; TN Visas From NAFTA

Countries

Abstract: This rule changes Department regulations by eliminating the petition requirement for Mexicans entering into the

United States as North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) professionals. Mexicans currently do not have to petition due

to changes to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations that eliminated the numerical limitation and petition

requirement, pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act. This rulemaking brings the Department rules in line with those of

the DHS, as well as current policy and statutes.

Title: Repeal of Benefits for Hostages in Iraq, Kuwait, or Lebanon

Abstract: Section 599C of Public Law 101-513 provided limited monetary payments and Federal life and health insurance

benefits as a humanitarian gesture to certain U. S. nationals held hostage in Kuwait, Iraq, or Lebanon, and to the family

members thereof, subject to specified funding and other limitations. The authorization to obligate funds under this law expired on

May 5, 1991. The 1992-1993 Foreign Relations Authorization Act amended the Hostage Relief Act of 1990 to extend both the

period of time during which the benefits were available and the eligibility criteria. In addition, section 302 contained two

additional changes with respect to hostages captured in Lebanon. Section 302(a)(3) provided that health and life insurance

benefits were available under certain circumstances for the period of the individual's hostage status, plus a 60-month period

following the termination of hostage status. Previously, these benefits expired 12 months after the termination of hostage status,

which remained the law with respect to hostages held in Iraq and Kuwait. 22 CFR part 193 implemented these statutes, and

described the classes of persons who could apply for benefits under the Act and the procedures according to which such

applications will be processed by the Department of State. The funds allocated for the benefits have been depleted; therefore,

the Department of State is repealing part 193.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: U.S. Munitions List Category VII

Abstract: As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State proposes to amend the International

Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to revise Category VII (ground vehicles) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML) to describe more

precisely the military ground vehicles warranting control on the USML. This proposed rule establishes a clear distinction

24

Regulations.gov Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Unified Agenda
between the USML and the Commerce Control List (CCL) for the control of military ground vehicles. The proposed revision

narrows the types of ground vehicle controlled on the USML to only those that warrant control under the stringent requirements

of the Arms Export Control Act. Proposed changes include the removal of most unarmored and unarmed military vehicles,

trucks, trailers, and trains (unless "specially designed" as firing platforms for weapons above .50 caliber), and armored vehicles

(either unarmed or with inoperable weapons) manufactured before 1956. Also, this revision would remove gas turbine engines

designed for ground vehicles from inclusion in this category. The proposed revision contains a positive list of specific types of

parts, components, accessories, and attachments that continue to warrant control on the USML. All other parts, components,

accessories, and attachments will become subject to the CCL.

Title: Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates--Passports

Abstract: This rule amends the Schedule of Fees for consular services (Schedule) for passport fees. The rule adjusts the fee

charged for the processing of first-time passport book applicants age 16 or over, as well as the fee charged for the processing

of renewal passport book applicants age 16 or over. The rule also adjusts the fee charged for the processing of first-time

passport book applicants under age 16. Additionally, this rule adjusts the fees charged for the processing of passport card and

passport book and card applications. Finally, the rule adjust the application processing fees for additional visa pages and to

perform a file search and verification of U.S. citizenship. The Department of State is adjusting the fees to ensure that sufficient

resources are available to meet the costs of providing consular services in light of the recent fee review's findings that the U.S.

government is not fully covering its costs for the processing of these passport services under the current fee structure.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Definition for Specially Designed

Abstract: As part of the President's Export Control Reform initiative, the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) seeks

further public comment on the proposed definition of "specially designed." On July 15, 2011, the Department of Commerce

published "Proposed Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR): Control of Items the President Determines No

Longer Warrant Control Under the United States Munitions List (USML)," 76 FR 41958), the administration's proposed definition

of "specially designed" that would be common to the CCL and the USML. The Departments of State and Commerce reviewed

the more than 40 comments from the public on Commerce's proposed definition. The "specially designed" definition provided in

this rulemaking proposes a simplified two paragraph structure: Identify which commodities, as a result of development, are

"specially designed"; and identify which parts, components, accessories, and attachments are excluded from "specially

designed." The overall rationale for the definition is to differentiate between those articles "enumerated" on the USML and those

articles not enumerated but captured in "catchall" paragraphs.

Abstract: The Department of State amends 22 CFR 42.52 to eliminate the use of Form OF-224 as a method of recording an
