Abstract: This rule proposes adjustments in current fees for consular services, in light of the findings of an independent cost

of service study that the U.S. Government is not fully covering its costs for providing these services under the current fee

structure. There is a tiered application processing fee for immigrant visas depending on the category. The adult passport book

application fee is increased from $55 to $70 to better allow full cost recovery. This rule also reflects changes made in other

interim final rules, 1400-AC42 (which is in effect) and 1400-AC57 (for which comments will be solicited).

Title: Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Filing, Retention, and Return of Export Licenses and Filing

of Export Information

Abstract: This rule reflects changes in the requirements for the return of licenses. All DSP-5 licenses that have been issued

electronically by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and decremented electronically by the U.S. Customs and

Border Protection through the Automated Export System (AES) will no longer be returned to DDTC. The return of these licenses

is unnecessary, since all of the export information has been captured and saved electronically. All DSP-61, DSP-73, DSP-85,

and DSP-94 licenses are to be returned to the DDTC, since these licenses are not decremented electronically.
