agenda of the Department of State is set forth below. The purpose of this publication is to provide

NAME: Patrick F. Kennedy,

Under Secretary of State for Management.

Executive Order 13609

In o r d er to fulfill its responsibilities under regulatory executive orders, including Executive Orders

13563 and 13609, the Department participates fully in the regulatory working group and the

recently-implemented process outlined in Executive Order 13609. Examples of two rules that

implement the principles outlined in Executive Order 13609 but predate Executive Order 13609

include:

• RIN 1400-AC86, in which the Department is amending rules relating to adoptions in

countries party to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children, and

## • RIN 1400-AD29, which is a Department of State rule, intended to conform State's

regulations to those of the Department of Homeland Security; this U.S. Government

initiative might have fallen under international cooperative efforts, had the initiative

occurred after establishment of the Executive Order 13609 process.

Both of these rules are in the final rule stage.The 63 Regulatory Agendas

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.

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.Priority: Other Significant Agenda Stage of Rulemaking: Proposed Rule

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 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: 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 theDepartment'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 all 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: 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 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: 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.

Title: International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Revision of U.S. Munitions List Category VIII

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 VIII of the U.S. Munitions List (aircraft and associated equipment) to establish a clearer line between the USML and the Commerce Control List (CCL) regarding controls over military aircraft and related articles. The proposed revision would narrow the types of aircraft and related items controlled on the USML to only those that warrant control under the stringent requirements of the Arms Export Control Act. Changes included in the proposal include moving similar articles currently controlled in multiple categories into a single category or subcategory. The proposed rule would also more clearly define "aircraft" for purposes of the revised USML Category VIII.Priority: Other Significant Agenda Stage of Rulemaking: Final Rule Major: No Unfunded Mandates: No

Title: International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Establishment of U.S. Munitions List Category XIX for Gas Turbine Engines

Abstract: As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, this proposed rule establishes U.S. Munitions List (USML) Category XIX to cover gas turbine engines and associated equipment currently covered in Categories VI, VII, and VIII. The USML identifies engine subcategories in all three of these categories, but there has been confusion concerning the scope of the controls in Category VI, Category VII, and Category VIII. The intent of this change is to make clear that gas turbine engines for surface vessels, vehicles, and aircraft that meet certain objective parameters are controlled on the USML.

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

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 VI (surface vessels of war and special naval equipment) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML) to establish a clear distinction between the USML and the Commerce Control List (CCL) for the control of these articles. The proposed revision would narrow the types of surface vessels of war and special naval equipment controlled on the USML to only those that warrant control under the stringent requirements of the Arms Export Control Act. It proposes to remove from control of the USML harbor entrance detection devices formerly controlled under Category VI(d). The Department of State is proposing to no longer include submarines, which State is proposing be controlled in Category XX. The proposed rule also more clearly defines "surface vessels of war and special naval equipment" for purposes of the revised USML Category VI.

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

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 XX (submersible vessels and related articles) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML) to account for the movement of submarines from Category VI, and to consolidate the controls that will apply to submersible vessels in a single category. In addition, naval nuclear propulsion power plants for submersible vessels, currently controlled under Category VI(e), will be controlled under Category XX(b). The proposed rule also more clearly defines "submersible vessels and related articles." This proposed rule controls only those parts, components, accessories, and attachments that are specifically designed for a defense article controlled in this category.

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 proposes to amend the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to revise Category V (explosives and energetic materials, propellants, incendiary agents, and their 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 proposed 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 will remove this "catchall." Another major change proposed 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 XIII

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 XIII (materials and miscellaneous articles) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML) to describe more precisely the materials warranting control on the USML. The proposed rule revises USML Category XIII, re-titled "Materials and Miscellaneous Articles," to advance U.S. national security objectives and to more accurately describe the articles within the category, in order to establish a clear distinction between the USML and the Commerce Control List (CCL) for the control of such articles. Articles common to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex and the USML would be identified on the USML with the parenthetical "(MT)" at the end of each section containing such articles. A future proposed rule will address the sections in the ITAR that include MTCR definitions.

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 "catch-all" paragraphs.

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

Abstract: This rule adopts changes to the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services (Schedule) for nonimmigrant visa and border crossing card application processing fees. This rulemaking implements a change from $ 131 to $ 140 for the fee charged for the processing of an application for most non-petition-based nonimmigrant visas (Machine-Readable Visas or MRVs) andadult Border Crossing Cards (BCCs). The rule also provides new tiers of the application fee for certain categories of petitionbased nonimmigrant visas and treaty trader and investor visas. Finally, the rule increases the BCC fee charged to Mexican citizens under age 15 who apply in Mexico, and whose parent or guardian already has a BCC or is applying for one, from $ 13 to $ 14. This latter change results from a congressionally mandated surcharge that went into effect in 2009. The Department adjusted the fees to ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet the costs of providing consular services in light of an independent cost of service study's findings that the U.S. Government is not fully covering its costs for the processing of these

visas under the current cost structure.

Title: Advisory Committee Management, Department of State

Abstract: 22 CFR part 8 implemented the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) for the Department of State. This rule was last revised in 1975, and the Department made a determination not to update it, but instead to move the Department's FACA policies to the Foreign Affairs Manual -- which is consistent with the practice in other agencies, few of which include their FACA policies in the CFR. This rulemaking deleted 22 CFR Part 8 in its entirety.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Temporary Export Exemption for Chemical Agent Protective
Gear

Abstract: The Department of State is amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to add an exemption for the temporary export of chemical agent protective gear for personal use. In order to use the exemption, the chemical agent protective gear must be for the U.S. person's exclusive use and must be returned to the United States. The U.S. person may not re-export the protective gear to a foreign person or otherwise transfer ownership. The protective gear may not be exported to any country where the importation would be in violation of that country's laws. The exemption for body armor is amended to also cover helmets when they are included with the body armor. An exemption for firearms and ammunition is clarified by removing certain extraneous language that does not change the meaning of the exemption, and by standardizing the language among the exemptions in this section of the regulations. The rulemaking also clarifies the registration requirement as it relates to certain exemptions.

Abstract: The Department of State is amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to remove reference to the International Import Certificate (Form BIS-645P/ATF-4522/DSP-53). This amendment ceases the Department's practice of accepting DSP-53 submissions. The Department of State's DSP-61 (Application/License for Temporary Import of Unclassified Defense Articles) is the primary means by which the Department exercises its authority to control the temporary import of defense articles. While in a limited number of instances this rule will result in different reporting and recordkeeping requirements, it does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping requirements.

Title: International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Sudan

Abstract: UNSC resolution 1556, adopted July 30, 2004, imposes an arms embargo on non-governmental entities and individuals operating in Darfur, with certain exceptions. Subsequently, UNSC resolution 1591, adopted on March 29, 2005, expanded the arms embargo to all parties to the N'djamena Ceasefire Agreement, including the Government of the Republic of Sudan. UNSC resolution 1945, adopted on October 14, 2010, reaffirmed and strengthened the arms embargo. Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States to deny licenses or other approvals for exports or imports of defense articles and defense services destined for or originating in the Republic of the Sudan. On July 9, 2011, the Republic of South Sudan declared independence from Sudan and was recognized as a sovereign state by the United States. The policy of denial as it applies to the Republic of the Sudan does not apply to the Republic of South Sudan. Licenses or other approvals for exports or imports of defense articles and defense services destined for or originating in the Republic of the South Sudan will be considered on a case-by-case basis. This rulemaking clarifies that the Republic of the Sudan is a proscribed destination, but that this policy does not apply to the Republic of South Sudan.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Libya, and UNSCR 2009

Abstract: On February 26, 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1970, paragraph 9 of which provides that UN member states shall immediately take the necessary measures to prevent the sale, supply, or transfer of arms and related materiel of all types to the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, with certain exceptions. On March 17, 2011, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1973, paragraph 4 of which authorizes member states to take all necessary measures, notwithstanding the arms embargo established by paragraph 9 of Resolution 1970, to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in Libya. On May 24, 2011, the Department amended the ITAR to implement the Security Council's actions by adding Libya to the list of countries subject to UN Security Council arms embargoes. The Department also announced a policy of denialfor all requests for licenses or other approvals to export or otherwise transfer defense articles and services to Libya, except where not prohibited under UNSC embargo and determined to be in the interests of the national security and foreign policy of the United States. To the existing exceptions to the arms embargo, delineated in Resolutions 1970 and 1973, Resolution 2009 adds the supply, sale, or transfer to Libya of arms and related materiel, including technical assistance, intended solely for security or disarmament assistance to the Libyan authorities, and small arms, light weapons, and related materiel for the sole use of UN personnel, representatives of the media, and humanitarian and development workers and associated personnel. License applications submitted pursuant to these exceptions are notified in advance to the Committee of the Security Council concerning Libya, and are eligible for approval in the absence of a negative decision by the Committee within five working days of such a notification. Accordingly, the ITAR was amended to reflect these provisions.

The rule increases from $140 to $160 the fee charged for the processing of an application for most non-petition-based nonimmigrant visas (Machine-Readable Visas or MRVs) and Border Crossing Cards (BCCs) for Mexican citizens age 15 and over. The rule also provides amended application processing fees for certain categories of petition-based nonimmigrant visas and treaty trader and investor visas (all of which are also MRVs), as well as amended tiered application processing fees for immigrant visas. Finally, the rule increases from $14 to $15 the BCC fee charged to Mexican citizen minors who apply in Mexico, and whose parent or guardian already has a BCC or is applying for one, based on a Congressionally mandated surcharge that took effect since the last adjustment to the Schedule of Fees. The Department of State adjusted 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 visas under the current fee structure.

Title: Visas: Issuance of Full Validity L Visas to Qualified Applicants

Abstract: Previous Department regulations required that the duration of the L visa be limited to the validity period of the petition, which, under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations, cannot exceed three years. Petitioners could apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for extension of petition validity in increments of up to two years, but the total period of stay could not exceed five years for aliens employed in a specialized knowledge capacity, or seven years foraliens employed in a managerial or executive capacity. The Department changed this regulation to delink visa and petition validity periods. As a result, a nonimmigrant visa shall have the validity prescribed in schedules provided to consular officers by the Department, which reflect the reciprocal treatment the applicant's country accords U.S. nationals, U.S. permanent residents, or aliens granted refugee status in the United States. The change assists beneficiaries of petitions for L status who are nationals of countries for which the reciprocity schedule prescribes visa validity for a longer period of time than the initial validity indicated in the petition approved by DHS and who have extended their L stay while in the United States. Such individuals generally will not need to apply again for an L visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate overseas if they were to travel outside the United States during the period indicated in the applicable reciprocity schedule.

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

Abstract: This interim final rule make changes to the Overseas Citizens Services (OCS) fees within the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services of the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs (Schedule). The Department sets and collects its fees based on the concept of full cost recovery. The Department completed its most recent review of current consular fees and will implement several changes to the Schedule of Fees based on the new fees calculated by the Cost of Service Model (CoSM). The CoSM is an activity-based cost model. Unlike a typical accounting system, which accounts for only traditional general-ledger-type costs such as salaries, supplies, travel, and other business expenses, activity-based cost models attempt to measure the costs of all activities and/or processes. This provides a more accurate cost per consular product and service by better identifying items that affect the amount of work required to deliver that product or service. Based on the CoSM, the department is adjusting these fees.

Title: Visas: Independent Classification of Immediate Family Members of A Visa Holders as G Visa Holders

Abstract: This rule permits qualified immediate family members of A visa holders to be independently classified as G-1, G-2, G-3, or G-4. This rule is being promulgated to allow employees of international organizations to work independent of their sending country's work agreement with the United States, and regardless of diplomatic ties. With this change, family members of diplomats assigned to the United States will be able to accept employment with international organizations and obtain visas that reflect their status as employees of such organizations, rather than as diplomatic dependents. Inability to obtain G visas has posed an impediment to the employment of some individuals in this category.

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Yemen

Abstract: The Department of State amended the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update the U.S. Government's policy toward Yemen. This rule removes the ITAR section 126.1 limitations on defense trade with Yemen. Less restrictive defense trade will further the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States. The Republic of Yemen has taken important steps to stabilize the country, including holding successful presidential elections in February 2012. Furthermore, the Republic of Yemen is a critical partner in the United States' continuing efforts against terrorism. Defense assistance to the Yemeni government will be critical to increasing stability and security throughout the country and countering this threat. Therefore, section 126.1(u) is removed, and the Department will review on a case-by-case basis all requests for licenses or other approvals for exports or temporary imports of defense articles and defense services destined for or originating

in Yemen.

Title: Repeal of Part 52: Marriages

Abstract: 22 CFR part 50 is being abolished because it is outdated. Prior to November 9, 1989, consular officers at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad, when requested to do so, could make certain that foreign marriages were effective for purposes of U.S. law by acting as official witnesses to the marriage, when one of the contracting parties was a U.S. citizen, pursuant to the authority of section 31 of the Act of June 22, 1860 (22 U.S.C. 4192). The Act also provided for issuance of an official certificate of witness to such marriage. Section 31 was repealed effective February 16, 1990, by section 123 of the FY 1990-1991 Foreign Affairs Authorization Act. U.S. Diplomatic and Consular officers and U.S. Ambassadors cannot conduct marriage ceremonies.
