Based upon a review of the 

Administrative Record assembled in 

this matter pursuant to Executive Order 

13224 and in consultation with the 

Attorney General and the Secretary of 

the Treasury, the Secretary of State 

concludes that there is a sufficient 

factual basis to find that al-Qa’ida in 

Iraq, also known under the aliases listed 

above, uses or has used an additional 

alias, namely, Islamic State of Iraq. 

Therefore, the Secretary of State 

hereby amends the 2004 designation of 

al-Qa’ida in Iraq as a Specially 

Designated Global Terrorist entity, 

pursuant to Executive Order 13224, to 

include the following new alias and 

other possible transliterations thereof: 

Islamic State of Iraq.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Departmental Offices; Submission for 

OMB Review, Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury, on behalf of itself and the 

United States Bureau of Engraving and 

Printing (BEP) and as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to comment on an proposed 

extension to an information collection, 

as required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13 (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). The BEP intends 

to request approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

extension of an existing information 

collection, titled ‘‘Owner’s Affidavit of 

Partial Destruction of Mutilated 

Currency.’’ The current information 

collection is assigned OMB Number 

1520–0001. The information collection 

requests owners of partially destroyed 

U.S. currency to complete a notarized 

affidavit (BEP Form 5283) for each 

redemption claim submitted when 

substantial portions of notes are 

missing. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before March 26, 2012 to 

be assured of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Comments regarding this 

information collection should be 

addressed to the BEP Contact listed 

below and to the Treasury Department 

PRA Clearance Officer, Department of 

the Treasury, Room 11000, 1750 

Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20220. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of the submission(s) may be 

obtained by contacting Sonya White, 

Deputy Chief Counsel, United States 

Department of the Treasury, Bureau of 

Engraving and Printing, 14th and C 

Streets SW., Washington, DC 20228, by 

telephone at (202) 874–8184, or by 

email at sonya.white@bep.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Owner’s Affidavit of Partial 

Destruction of Mutilated Currency.’’ 

OMB Control Number: 1520–0001. 

Abstract: The Congressional Act of 

March 17, 1862, authorized the 

Secretary of the Treasury to redeem or 

replace damaged U.S. currency under 

such regulations as he or she might 

prescribe. The authority has been 

delegated to the Office of Currency 

Standards, and is guided by Treasury 

Department Circular 55 which states an 

affidavit form will be requested from the 

remitters of damaged currency when 

substantial portions are missing from 

the notes presented to the Treasury for 

redemption. Treasury’s Mutilated 

Currency Examiners use the information 

stated in the affidavit to make a fair and 

equitable determination of the 

redemption value of such damaged 

currency. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

Approximately 150 per year. The BEP 

will conduct the majority of its 

information collection activities at 

conferences and meeting of 

organizations of blind and visually 

impaired persons. The BEP is able to 

estimate the number of attendees at 

such conferences and meetings. The 

BEP, however, only collects information 

from volunteers who stop by its 

information booth, and who care to take 

the time responding to questions. It is 

difficult, therefore, to estimate the 

actual number of respondents from 

whom BEP may be able to collect 

information in a year. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Respondent: 36 minutes per response. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 90 burden hours. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for Office of Management and 

Budget approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record. The 

public is invited to submit written 

comments concerning: (a) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Bureau, including 

whether the information will have 

practical uses; (b) the accuracy of the 

above estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

reporting and/or record keeping burdens 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
