43068 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 13, 2017 / Notices 

3. Incoming and Outgoing 

Intergovernmental Personnel Act 

Assignment Agreement—5 CFR 334— 

0960–0792. The Intergovernmental 

Personnel Act (IPA) mobility program 

provides for the temporary assignment 

of civilian personnel between the 

Federal Government and State and local 

governments; colleges and universities; 

Indian tribal governments; federally 

funded research and development 

centers; and other eligible organizations. 

The Office of Personnel Management 

(OPM) created a generic form, the OF– 

69, for agencies to use as a template 

when collecting information for the IPA 

assignment. The OF–69 collects specific 

information about the agreement 

including: (1) The enrolled employee’s 

name, Social Security number, job title, 

salary, classification, and address; (2) 

the type of assignment; (3) the 

reimbursement arrangement; and (4) an 

explanation as to how the assignment 

benefits both SSA and the non-federal 

organization involved in the exchange. 

OPM directs agencies to use their own 

forms for recording these agreements. 

Accordingly, SSA modified the OF–69 

to meet our needs, creating the SSA–187 

for incoming employees and the SSA– 

188 for outgoing employees. SSA 

collects information on the SSA–187 

and SSA–188 to document the IPA 

assignment and to act as an agreement 

between the agencies. Respondents are 

personnel from State and local 

governments; colleges and universities; 

Indian tribal governments; federally 

funded research and development 

centers; and other eligible organizations 

who participate in the IPA exchange 

with SSA. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 10125] 

U.S. Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International 

Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on 

Arbitration and Conciliation 

The Office of the Assistant Legal 

Adviser for Private International Law, 

Department of State, gives notice of a 

public meeting to discuss possible 

topics for future work related to 

arbitration or conciliation in the United 

Nations Commission on International 

Trade Law (UNCITRAL). The public 

meeting will take place on Tuesday, 

October 17, 2017 from 10:00 a.m. until 

12:30 p.m. EDT. This is not a meeting 

of the full Advisory Committee. 

UNCITRAL’s Working Group II 

(Dispute Settlement) is currently 

working on the development of a 

convention and model legislative 

provisions on conciliated settlements 

that resolve international, commercial 

disputes. Once this negotiation is 

completed, however, it is unclear 

whether UNCITRAL should pursue 

additional work in the area of dispute 

settlement, and if so, what the new 

project should be. One topic that has 

been proposed by the International 

Academy of Construction Lawyers 

relates to the use of adjudication 

procedures in construction disputes. 

The purpose of the public meeting is to 

obtain the views of concerned 

stakeholders on (1) whether the 

Working Group should address 

construction contract adjudication, and 

(2) what, if any, other possible topics 

related to arbitration, conciliation, or 

other forms of dispute settlement merit 

attention by the Working Group. 

Time and Place: The meeting will 

take place on October 17, 2017, from 

10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. via a 

teleconference. Those who cannot 

participate but wish to comment are 

welcome to do so by phone or email to 

Tim Schnabel at SchnabelTR@state.gov 

or 202–776–8781. 

Public Participation: This meeting is 

open to the public. If you would like to 

participate by telephone, please email 

pil@state.gov to obtain the call-in 

number and other information.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 10121] 

Bureau of Consular Affairs; 

Registration for the Diversity 

Immigrant (DV–2019) Visa Program 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This public notice provides 

information on how to apply for the 

DV–2019 Program. 

Program Overview 

The Department of State administers 

the Congressionally-mandated Diversity 

Immigrant Visa Program annually. 

Section 203(c) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act (INA) provides for a 

class of immigrants known as ‘‘diversity 

immigrants,’’ from countries with 

historically low rates of immigration to 

the United States. For fiscal year 2018, 

50,000 diversity visas (DVs) will be 

available. There is no cost to register for 

the DV Program. 

Applicants who are selected in the 

lottery (‘‘selectees’’) must meet simple, 

but strict, eligibility requirements to 

qualify for a diversity visa. The 

Department of State determines 

selectees through a randomized 

computer drawing. Diversity visa 

numbers are distributed among six 

geographic regions, and no single 

country may receive more than seven 

percent of the available DVs in any one 

year. 

For DV–2019, natives of the following 

countries are not eligible to apply, 

because more than 50,000 natives of 

these countries immigrated to the 

United States in the previous five years: 

Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China 

(mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican 

Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, India, 

Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, 

Peru, Philippines, South Korea, United 

Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and 

its dependent territories, and Vietnam. 

Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, 

Macau SAR, and Taiwan are eligible.
