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: 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 regulationsboth to 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 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: Exemption or Waiver by Secretary of State and Secretary of Homeland Security of Passport and/or Visa Requirements in

Individual Cases of Unforeseen Emergencies

Abstract: 

This rulemaking amends Department regulations to comply with a 2009 judicial decision, United Airlines, Inc. v. Brien, in which

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit invalidated a 1999 Department of State rule that allowed individuals to travel

without a passport and visa in cases of unforeseen emergencies. Since the court found that State did not promulgate the rule

through joint action with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as required by law, State and DHS have consulted and

are now acting jointly to publish parallel rules.

Abstract: 

The Department of State proposes to revise its regulations of November 3, 2004, and October 11, 2007, governing the

availability to the public of information that is under the control of the Department. There have been several changes in the law

and regulations governing disclosure of such information, including executive orders pertaining to the disclosure of agency

of 2012. This proposed rule reflects changes in the FOIA and other statutes and consequent changes in the Department's

procedures since the last revision of the Department's regulations on this subject.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Revisions to Definitions of Defense Services, Technical

Data, and Public Domain; Definition of Product of Fundamental Research

Abstract: 

8

Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
The Department of State proposes to amend the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update the definitions of

"defense services," "technical data," and "public domain" in order to clarify the policy regarding these terms, as well as the

scope of activities and information that are covered within these definitions. Additionally, the Department proposes to create a

definition of "product of fundamental research" in order to clarify and support the appropriate interpretation of the revised

definitions that are proposed in this rule. Finally, the Department proposes to address the electronic transmission of unclassified

technical data via foreign communications infrastructure as it relates to the electronic storage of such data outside the United

States. This rule would revise the definition of an export to stipulate that the electronic transmission of unclassified technical

data abroad is not an export, provided that the data is sufficiently secured to prevent access by parties unauthorized to access

such data. Additionally, it would create a new exemption to allow for the electronic storage of unclassified technical data abroad,

provided that the data is secured to prevent access by parties unauthorized to access such data.

Title: Proposed Elimination of Visa Page Insert Service for U.S. Passport Book Holders

Abstract: 

The Department of State proposes eliminating the additional visa page insert service in passports as of January 1, 2016. To

help mitigate the need for visa page inserts, the Department began issuing the larger 52 page passport book in October of 2014

to all U.S. passport applicants applying overseas at no extra cost. U.S. passport applicants applying domestically can still obtain

the 52 page passport book at no extra charge by requesting it on the application form. The elimination of visa page inserts is in

conjunction with the Department’s anticipated rollout of the Next Generation Passport in 2016. The Next Generation Passport

incorporates new security features designed to protect the integrity of U.S. passport books against fraud and misuse. An

interagency working group determined that the addition of visa page inserts could reduce the effectiveness of these new

security features. If this change is implemented, the fee for this service will be removed from the Schedule of Fees for Consular

Services.

Title: Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates ? Passport and

Documentary Services Fee Changes

Abstract: 

This rule proposes adjustments in current fees for consular services and adds to the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services a

fee to authenticate a document in the United States and a fee for expedited processing of such an authentication. The

Department of State is adjusting the fees in light of the most recent annual update to the Cost of Service Model, which found

that the U.S. Government is not fully covering its costs for providing these services under the current fee structure. The primary

objective of the adjustments to the Schedule of Fees is to ensure that fees for consular services reflect costs to the United

States of providing the services.

Title: Exchange Visitor Program--General Provisions

Abstract: 

11

Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
The Department of State is proposing to amend the General Provisions (subpart A) of the existing Exchange Visitor Program

(EVP) 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.

Title: Exchange Visitor Program--Teachers

Abstract: 

The Department is amending existing regulations governing the teacher category of the Exchange Visitor Program. The

proposed amendments clarify the duration of program participation, amend eligibility requirements with a reduction from three to

two years of full-time teaching experience, introduce a required cultural component, and propose the implementation of a twoyear bar for repeat participation to foster the purpose of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 ("FulbrightHays Act"). These proposed changes will enhance the integrity and programmatic effectiveness of the teacher category.

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: Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates-?Visa and

Citizenship Services Fee Changes

Abstract: 

This rule amends the Schedule of Fees for consular services (Schedule) for certain nonimmigrant visa application processing

fees (also known as Machine Readable Visas or MRVs), certain immigrant visa application processing and special visa services

fees, and certain citizenship services fees. The rule provides amended application processing fees for certain categories of

petition-based nonimmigrant visas as well as amended tiered application processing fees for immigrant visas. The rule provides

for an amended security surcharge for immigrant visa services and amended fees for certain immigrant visa services. Finally, the

rule provides an amended application processing fee for renunciation of U.S. citizenship and the hourly consular officer time

charge. The Department of State is adjusting the fees in light of the finding of a recent Cost of Service study that the U.S.

Government is not adequately covering its costs for the processing of certain visas and services for U.S. citizens overseas

under the current fee structure.

Title: Intercountry Adoptions: Regulatory Change to Prevent Accreditation and Approval Renewal Requests From Coming Due

at the Same Time

Abstract: 

This rule amends the Department of State (Department) regulation on the accreditation and approval of adoption service

providers in intercountry adoptions. Most agencies and persons currently accredited received that accreditation at approximately

the same time, which has resulted in a surge of concurrent renewal applications for consideration by the Council on

Accreditation (COA), the designated accrediting entity. Permitting some agencies or persons to qualify for an extension of the

accreditation or approval period by one year will result in a more even distribution of applications for renewal in a given year. By

distributing renewals, and the resources needed to process them, COA will be further enabled to effectively and consistently

carry out its other functions.

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

International Traffic in Arms Regulations (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 Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) license is not required for the export or reexport 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: 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: 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 Traffic in

Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update policies regarding replacement parts and components. The current regulations regarding

parts and components imposes additional licenses for licensed end-users and end-uses for systems and components already

vetted in earlier licenses. The revisions to the existing regulations are intended to facilitate the expeditious repair of U.S.-

supplied end-items abroad, enabling more timely response to coalition forces, as well as other allies and friends, by eliminating

the requirement for a license for replacement parts and components for systems or end items approved in a previous license.
