Abstract of proposed collection: The 

information collected on the DS–4283 is 

used to facilitate the issuance of 

passports to U.S. nationals with 

imminent travel plans who hire private 

courier companies to deliver their 

applications to one of the Department’s 

domestic passport agencies. Out of the 

twenty-seven Department’s domestic 

passport agencies, only twelve are 

currently participating. The Department 

asks courier company employees to 

complete the DS–4283 and submit the 

form with passport applications 

delivered in bulk to passport agencies in 

a designated drop-off box. Passport 

agencies use the form to track the 

submission of applications that a 

courier drops off. The form serves as a 

record of receipt of documents 

submitted to the Department and as an 

acknowledgment of who delivered these 

documents. The DS–4283 is part of a 

Department effort to facilitate the 

delivery of passport applications by 

private courier companies while 

maintaining the integrity of the passport 

application process. 

Methodology: This form is used to 

track the processing of passport 

applications delivered in bulk to 

passport agencies by private courier 

companies. Courier employees are asked 

to attach the form onto sealed envelopes 

or packages containing passport 

applications which they deliver in bulk 

to designated drop-off facilities at one of 

twelve passport agencies for processing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 30, 2013, the FAA 

selected six UAS Test Sites. This 

selection was Congressionally-mandated 

by section 332 of the FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 

(Pub. L. 112–95). The FAA is working 

closely with the Test Sites to guide 

research programs toward specific goals 

such as System Safety & Data Gathering, 

Aircraft Certification, Command & 

Control Link Issues, Control Station 

Layout & Certification, Ground & 

Airborne Sense & Avoid, and 

Environmental Impacts that will help 

the FAA safely integrate UAS into the 

national airspace system. 

On May 8, 2015, the FAA selected a 

Mississippi State University team as the 

FAA’s Center of Excellence for 

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (COE 

UAS). The COE will focus on research, 

education, and training in areas critical 

to safe and successful integration of 

UAS into the nation’s airspace. 

Purpose of the Public Meetings 

The purpose of these meetings is to 

discuss innovation and opportunities at 

the Test Sites and COE. The Test Sites 

and COE will host and set the agenda 

for each public meeting. The meetings 

will aid both public and private sector 

stakeholders to better understand the 

value the Test Sites and COE provide in 

furthering UAS integration through 

research, development, and operational 

testing.
