Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The Secretary of State is authorized to 

issue U.S. passports under 8 U.S.C. 

1104, 22 U.S.C. 211a et seq, and 

Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966). 

Department regulations provide that 

individuals whose valid or potentially 

valid U.S. passports were lost or stolen 

must make a report of the lost or stolen 

passport to the Department of State 

before they receive a new passport so 

that the lost or stolen passport can be 

invalidated (22 CFR parts 50 and 51). 

The Enhanced Border Security and Visa 

Entry Reform Act of 2002 (8 U.S.C. 

1737) requires the Department of State 

to collect accurate information on lost or 

stolen U.S. passports and to enter that 

information into a data system. Form 

DS–64 collects information identifying 

the person who held the lost or stolen 

passport and describing the 

circumstances under which the passport 

was lost or stolen. As required by the 

cited authorities, we use the information 

collected to accurately identify the 

passport that must be invalidated and to 

make a record of the circumstances 

surrounding the lost or stolen passport. 

False statements made knowingly or 

willfully on passport forms, in 

affidavits, or other supporting 

documents, are punishable by fine and/ 

or imprisonment under U.S. law. (18 

U.S.C. 1001, 1542–1544). 

Methodology 

Passport applicants can submit their 

form electronically on 

www.travel.state.gov or call the National 

Passport Information Center at 1–877– 

487–2778. Applicants can also 

download the form from the internet or 

obtain one at any Passport Agency or 

Acceptance Facility.

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Determination Under the African 

Growth and Opportunity Act 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) has determined 

that Eswatini (formerly known as 

Swaziland) has adopted an effective visa 

system and related procedures to 

prevent the unlawful transshipment of 

textile and apparel articles and the use 

of counterfeit documents in connection 

with the shipment of such articles, and 

has implemented and follows, or is 

making substantial progress towards 

implementing and following, the 

custom procedures required by the 

African Growth and Opportunity Act 

(AGOA). Therefore, imports of eligible 

products from Eswatini qualify for the 

textile and apparel benefits provided 

under the AGOA. The notice also makes 

conforming changes to the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States to 

reflect the recent change in name of the 

Kingdom of Swaziland (Swaziland) to 

Eswatini. 

DATES: This notice is applicable on July 

3, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Constance Hamilton, Assistant United 

States Trade Representative for African 

Affairs at (202) 395–9514 or Constance_

Hamilton@ustr.eop.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The AGOA (Title I of the Trade and 

Development Act of 2000, Public Law 

106–200, as amended) provides 

preferential tariff treatment for imports 

of certain textile and apparel products 

of beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

countries. The textile and apparel trade 

benefits under AGOA are available to 

imports of eligible products from 

countries that the President designates 

as ‘‘beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

countries,’’ provided that these 

countries: (1) Have adopted an effective 

visa system and related procedures to 

prevent the unlawful transshipment of 

textile and apparel articles and the use 

of counterfeit documents in connection 

with shipment of such articles; and (2) 

have implemented and follow, or are 

making substantial progress towards 

implementing and following, certain 

customs procedures that assist the U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection in 

verifying the origin of the products. 

In Proclamation 9687 dated December 

22, 2017 (82 FR 61414), the President 

designated Swaziland (now known as 

Eswatini) as a ‘‘beneficiary sub-Saharan 

African country’’ and proclaimed, for 

the purposes of section 112(c) of AGOA, 

that Swaziland (now known as 

Eswatini) should be considered a lesser 

developed beneficiary sub-Saharan 

African country. Based on the actions 

Eswatini has taken, the United States 

Trade Representative has determined 

that Eswatini has satisfied the two 

requirements for eligibility for textile 

and apparel benefits under AGOA. In 

Proclamation 7350 of October 2, 2000, 

the President authorized the United 

States Trade Representative to perform 

the function of determining whether 

eligible sub-Saharan countries have met 

the two requirements described above. 

The President directed the United States 

Trade Representative to announce any 

such determinations in the Federal 

Register and to implement them 

through modifications in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTS). 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority vested in the United States 

Trade Representative in Proclamation 

7350, U.S. note 7(a) to subchapter II of 

chapter 98 of the HTS, is modified by 

inserting ‘‘Eswatini’’ in alphabetical 

sequence in the list of countries, and 

U.S. notes 1 and 2(d) to subchapter XIX 

of chapter 98 of the HTS are modified 

to add in numerical sequence, in the list 

of designated sub-Saharan African 

countries, the name ‘‘Eswatini,’’ in 

alphabetical sequence and to delete 

therefrom ‘‘Kingdom of Swaziland’’. 

The foregoing modifications to the HTS 

are effective with respect to articles 

entered for consumption, or withdrawn 

from warehouse for consumption, on or 

after the effective date of this notice. 

Imports claiming preferential tariff 

treatment under the AGOA for entries of 

textile and apparel articles should 

ensure that those entries meet the 

applicable visa requirements. See 66 FR 

7837 (January 25, 2001). 

Presidential Proclamation 6969 of 

January 27, 1997 (62 FR 4415), 

authorizes the United States Trade 

Representative to exercise the authority 

provided to the President under section 

604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) to 

embody rectifications, technical or 

conforming changes, or similar 

modifications in the HTS. Pursuant to 

the delegated authority vested in the 

United States Trade Representative in 

Proclamation 6969, general notes 4(a) 

and 16(a) to the HTS are each modified 

by deleting ‘‘Swaziland’’ and by 

inserting in alphabetical sequence in 

such notes ‘‘Eswatini’’, in order to 

reflect the recent change in name of 

Swaziland to Eswatini.

United States Trade Representative.
