Abstract of Proposed Collection
Information collection tools for gathering data from foreign missions, including electronic data collection (e-Gov), have been combined into one request called the "Foreign Diplomatic Services Applications." These tools help the Office of Foreign Missions and the Office of the Chief of Protocol gather the information they need to manage benefits, privileges, and immunities for foreign missions and eligible applicants. This program allows them to apply for benefits from the U.S. Department of State, as provided by the Foreign Missions Act.
Methodology
Information may be received via Email or electronic submission through eGov at https://egov.ofm.state.gov/.
Adriana E. Spain,
Executive Director, Office of Foreign Missions, Department of State.
