Abstract of proposed collection:
The operation of a motor vehicle in the United States by foreign mission personnel is a benefit under the Foreign Mission Act, 22 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. The U.S. Department of State Registration and Title application forms (DS-100, DS-100E, DS-101, DS-101E, DS-102, DS-102E, DS-104, DS-104E) are the means by which foreign missions in the United States request the registration, titling, and issuance of replacement license plates for motor vehicles owned/operated by foreign missions, foreign diplomatic and consular personnel, as well as specified official representatives of foreign governments to international organizations in the United States, and their dependents.
Methodology:
This collection is submitted by all foreign missions in paper format on one of four forms; the information is then entered into an electronic database, maintained and utilized by the Office of Foreign Missions to administer the benefit. Electronic versions of DS-100 and DS-101 (DS-100E and DS-101E) were introduced in May 2005 to a few foreign missions to test and develop an electronic submission option. Electronic versions of the DS-102 and DS-104 (DS-102E and DS-104E) have been developed and will be implemented in early 2006. To facilitate the collection of information in a more systematic and efficient manner, the Office of Foreign Missions will continue to develop the database to support an end-to-end electronic submission process, bearing in mind as well that utilization of electronic submissions by individual missions is dependent on the status of their own systems.
Dated: February 9, 2006.
