Abstract of proposed collection: The 

information collected on the DS–82 is 

used to facilitate the issuance of 

passports to U.S. citizens and nationals. 

The primary purpose of soliciting the 

information is to establish citizenship, 

identity, and entitlement to the issuance 

of the U.S. passport or related service, 

and to properly administer and enforce 

the laws pertaining to the issuance 

thereof. 

The DS–82 solicits data necessary for 

Passport Services to issue a United 

States passport (book and/or card 

format) in the exercise of authorities 

granted to the Secretary of State in 22 

United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 

211a et seq. and Executive Order (EO) 

11295 (August 5, 1966) for the issuance 

of passports to U.S. nationals. 

The issuance of U.S. passports 

requires the determination of identity, 

nationality, and entitlement, with 

reference to the provisions of Title III of 

the Immigration and Nationality Act 

(INA) (8 U.S.C. sections 1401–1504), the 

14th Amendment to the Constitution of 

the United States, other applicable 

treaties and laws and implementing 

regulations at 22 CFR Part 50 and 51. 

The specific regulations pertaining to 

the Application for a U.S. Passport by 

Mail are at 22 CFR 51.20 and 51.21. 

Methodology: Passport Services 

collects information from U.S. citizens 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
55326 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 10, 2013 / Notices 

and non-citizen nationals who complete 

and submit the Application for a U.S. 

Passport by Mail. Passport applicants 

can either download the DS–82 from the 

Internet or obtain one from an 

Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency. 

The form must be completed, signed, 

and submitted along with the 

applicant’s previous U.S. passport. 

U.S. citizens overseas may download 

the DS–82 from the Internet or obtain 

one from the nearest U.S. Embassy or 

Consulate. As noted on the form, U.S. 

citizens overseas (except Canada) must 

apply for their passport at the nearest 

U.S. Embassy or Consulate in 

accordance with instructions on the 

Embassy/Consulate Web site. 

The Department estimates that these 

changes will not result in an increase in 

the current burden time of 40 minutes. 

Dated: August 29, 2013.
